The reason this is so over the top is that the people with the least character get very cross when it’s made clear they need to be ashamed of themselves.
On the appalling story of Derek Elias, who has spent four years trying to alert the government to the bad things happening at Home Affairs
Life as a Home Affairs whistleblower
Four years ago, Home Affairs assistant secretary Derek Elias attempted to report corruption in offshore contracts – the government's response has left him unwell and in financial turmoil.

There is a frog in Madagascar called the False Tomato Frog. You might think it's called for being a small frog that looks like a tomato when it's not. No, you see it's because it's a small frog that looks like a Tomato Frog (which is a small frog that looks like a tomato when it's not) when it's not
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

The earliest known named cat is from a damaged relief in an Egyptian tomb from ~1500 BCE.
The cat's name was "Nedjem" or "Nojem," which means "Sweetie." 😻

Out there UK folkie John Martyn got obsessed with dub and befriended Lee Scratch Perry … who inspired him to record One World on guitar amps floating a 1/2 mile offshore in a lake. Lapping water and late night goose honks can be heard throughout but maybe to best effect on the magical “Small Hours.”

The "liver, fava beans and a nice chianti" line in Silence Of The Lambs is a little joke for psychiatrists in the audience - those foods cannot be consumed with the meds (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) that Lecter is supposed to be taking.

A bunch of grade school kids said that roasting green chile should be our state smell so their teacher had them write our state Congress and in a shocking display they all came together, wrote the bill, and passed it in a matter of weeks

The bigger change is presentation, historically, these emails were visually chaotic: sudden colour changes, ALL CAPS, screenshots pasted at random. Classic signs of disordered thinking. Now they’re neat, structured, and grammatically consistent. The delusion hasn't changed, but the formatting has.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

I’m getting more and more of these too. It’s depressing.
I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

It’s really wild out there. Yesterday someone sent me a tweet claiming a nightvision view of Earth from the ISS was actually an alien spacecraft and that NASA cut the livestream because of it. It had millions of views and was spreading fast
