Manic Intent

opened the news this morning at breakfast out of habit and regretted it

anyway australia going to try and pass more gun control laws today so good luck to us

obviously a lot worse for everyone living the horror whether its ICE or anything else (soon to be war in Greenland?) :/ sigh. stay safe everyone. legit don't even that they killed a lady by shooting her in the face, prevented an onsite doctor from looking at her, then got away with it

we're in that point of the tromp admin where for me even opening the news makes me feel mentally exhausted

in unrelated news. colleague introduced me to beard meats food, a food challenge vlogger influencer and his videos are just weirdly fun to watch. there are a few set in singapore www.youtube.com/beardmeatsfood

finally, I actually don't like albanese either. I think he's too cautious, too centrist, and tries to embrace everyone even shit like fossil fuel projects. but he's still better than the conservatives, incl john howard, who is willing to undermine his own gun control legacy to score points

also, must I say, really gross to see the conservative Liberal party leader Ley go on her "if I was Prime Minister" spiel AT A MEMORIAL for the dead. scoring points left and right, blaming the PM. just disgusting people all in. sad for the world.

don't vote for the right wing

bibi claiming that this was because the centre-left australian PM albanese recognises palestinian state and 2 state solution is like what?? whaaat? sigh. another head of state is legit using this tragedy to interfere with australian politics and we not pushing back? what a bonkers time to be alive

the australian news landscape, the home ground of the murdoch family, has just been depressing to read all this week. I normally read it as a bit of a breather from US chaos but watching mainstream news all repeat views stating that justifiable criticism of israel is anti-semitism is wild to me

it's so frustrating that these birth influencers are also women. you people are NOT helping uggh

yea. things can go wrong real fast. not just for you but the baby. why do this without medical intervention in 2025

I will never have kids but in the hypothetical where I did... I mean, I'm the sort of person who doesn't even believe in just rest and recovery for a bad cold, I want to be medicated, let alone for something as life threatening and immensely painful as giving birth

Medical professionals sound alarm on rise of 'birthkeeper' influencers A number of recent deaths linked to freebirths — where a pregnant woman chooses to give birth with no registered medical professional present — is prompting health groups to speak out about rising lev...

I think this birth influencer movement has been one of the wildest things I learned about this year www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

Hey friends!! I know I have a lot of bird enjoyers following me (judging by the interactions when I post my bird) - If you have spare cash, here’s a chance to help save a bird’s life ❤️❤️

getting a new iphone so see if it makes that one catch fire ahaha, but tbh i don't see how a phone can run it properly. even my ps5 struggles

flying back to sg for christmas soon and I think this year I have to bring back my ps5 because of where winds meet lol. I really doubt it'd run properly on steam deck. damn this game is so good. also so random. I have been scammed so much in the jianghu

anyway in less terrible news. russ went for his december checkup and the vet said he seems to have gone from effectively stage 3 kidney disease to stage 2

me: what??? a medical miracle??

I think nobody should own a gun. that's the ideal. growing up I didn't even see them on the local cops in singapore. the first time I saw a gun was in australia as a teen.

but yea this implication that citizens are somehow safer, wat

though, one of the changes being considered is that only australian citizens can own guns? I mean, I'm a PR, and I will never own a real gun, but ??? port arthur massacre was by an aussie guy born in hobart. this one, one of the shooters was australian citizen

The Bondi shooter only had a basic gun licence. How could he buy multiple high-powered rifles? The Bondi shooter's gun licence entitled him to an uncapped quantity of certain kinds of rifles and shotguns.

glad to see the govt moving quick on gun control. like legit why does anyone need 6 guns. then I read the news and they're like o yea the average gun owner has like 4 guns. there's 2 people with like 300+ guns each.

what the lol. I don't even own 300 colour pencils www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

predictable blame game has started in australia over whether marches for palestine led to the bondi massacre. pls. also while I never liked turnbull, confess I loled when he just bluntly told netanyahu to stay out of Australian politics

yeaaaa

ya I love the style and got sucked in... but the game runs out of story real fast and then any endgame progression obviously needs you to pay to play. but it's free to walk around the very pretty world at the start

Lol nevermind, Sarkozy got out today 😂 well that didn't last...

Or if you like furry... ....

Some of the guys in this game 😂

Playing Afk Jouney because it's pretty... It's gacha so it's f2p bit obviously you hit a wall after a few days unless you play it slowly. So pretty though. Mobile game.
