Oh, so just caught up with the news - new taxes can just disappear by calling them levies. Sweet. That wealth levy of ours should now be supported by everyone. Labour can go bolder with its CGL

Whoops. My talking up how I never burn has thoroughly earned a bunch of back-related hubris after a day at Hanmer Springs.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Wow it's so CRAZY that a staffer took his phone from him while he was in the middle of an overnight, sundowning, racist posting spree so they could SECRETLY post the precise kind of racist garbage this pedophile rapist spews every day. Then they gave the phone back so he could keep posting!
CRAZY!
CRAZY!
Are they going to also "blame a staffer" for Obama permanently living, 24/7, rent-free in his head?

Who could have foreseen that making a lot of people redundant while doing nothing much to bring the economy back into growth for a whole year would result in high unemployment

The mouse had babies, if you are wondering what level of hell our house is currently in.
On Sunday morning, my spouse caught a teeny tiny mouse in a trap.
He’s holding firm that we can’t release this sucker into the wild right now. So, like, friends in Bluesky…when can we release this tiny creature. How long will I have to host it in my heated mouse hotel?

The thing which we all said was happening but apparently never was until it did
Google has agreed to pay $68M to settle a class-action lawsuit that alleged the technology giant's voice assistant had illegally recorded users (even if they didn’t activate it with “Hey Google”) and then shared their private conversations with advertisers.

I am thoroughly a Star Wars hater.
It's bad sci-fi and bad fantasy. Just surface level shit. No depth.
I hate the post-80s movies with a passion.
But none of the actors were to blame. Or casting directors.
The world owes KMT and so many others a massive apology for how much the "fans" suck.
