I used to love lush but we don’t have one in my town and shipping is expensive
Turns out I can recreate the experience I loved with some epsom salts, essential oils and glitter spray.

Remembrance Day is a good day to think about what we're remembering.
"Political acknowledgment of the frontier wars and their importance to the establishment of the new white federation (on the stolen lands of the violently dispossessed) pitifully lags behind historical and cultural recognition."
"Political acknowledgment of the frontier wars and their importance to the establishment of the new white federation (on the stolen lands of the violently dispossessed) pitifully lags behind historical and cultural recognition."
"The political-military class has drawn no lessons – beyond the strategic and tactical – from the millions who’ve died as combatants and civilians since the Great War ended on this day in 1918."

War and truth-telling warrant reflection this Remembrance Day. That takes more than a minute | Paul Daley
Remembrance is a conscious act – political, cultural and personal. Today it is worth reflecting on who and what we commemorate, and what we choose to omit

Happy Birthday to one of the most talented artists I've ever had the honour of working with! (Also one of the most reliable and kind people I know)
As someone who is, lets be kind and say marginally older, this advice is timeless. You can take my dignity, but ye can't take my silly little trinkets.

I’m going to keep yelling about this until everyone talks about it with their friends.
LLM’s aren’t intelligent, they’re doing best guess and that’s okay until it’s not, more importantly people need to understand that’s what they’re using and the ethics behind it.

How do we solve this? AI companies have sold LLMs as an intelligence with thoughts and empathy, not the statistical models they are. They reinforce cultural and personal biases, and don’t understand risk, consequence, ethics and truth. They’re outright dangerous.

I like how the word ‘fagslop’ has evolved recently
I feel like it used to be about artists describing the gay appeal of their furry porn art or whatever
Now people use it to tag viral litter like ‘it’s lowkey pink btw’ engagement bait posts
There’s a lot of that shit. Good to have a word for it

so this is highly incentive based and relies on Tesla hitting ridiculous thresholds to vest lots of it which means we are about to see exciting new frontiers in fraud and bullshit

I finally got around to watching Bob Trevino Likes It.
This movie absolutely devastated me in a way that I was not expecting and that very few movies ever have. This was fantastic and I think everyone should watch it.
Barbie Ferreira and John Leguizamo had such undeniable chemistry.

Wait, do other countries not have musk sticks?
I only just found out that Australia invented them, surely other countries have some similar variation of them?

This might sound obvious to experienced designers but don't give proofs of things like business cards as just the business card itself. (same goes for logos)

I got a call from someone saying they worked for the federal government, I asked for their AGS ID they were like "I don't even know mine, no one asks for that anymore"
I'd love to know if thats true, do government employees not know their AGS numbers, do they not give them out, or was it a scam?

It’s unfathomable to me that the under 16 social media ban in Australia would ban Snapchat but not 4chan.
The rollout of this law has been an embarrassment.
