12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

I perused this webpage as part of research for my last podcast with @stilgherrian.com and it nearly broke my brain. Let’s start with how ‘ethnic restaurants’ are summarised in two sentences and then some fast food nerd has gone feral. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_o...

No, eating Chinese food on Xmas Day is not appropriating anything from Jewish culture and anybody on social media perpetuating this extremely stupid idea should be banned from eating Chinese food for life as penance.

You should make it your new year's resolution to stop diagnosing people with autism based purely on the fact that they have a special interest in something.

The important freedom of not reducing your chances of catching the flu.
With Queensland's flu vaccination rate at 28% the lowest in 5yrs, Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie says he's comfortable & the LNP Crisafulli government won't be "dictating" on public health. So far this flu season 100 people have died & some elective surgery was suspended. #qldpol

My cousin gave me a bottle of Poor Tom’s ‘Negroni Australiano’ yesterday which I thought was a very thoughtful gift from them. I can’t be bothered to make my own tbqh (don’t currently have a liquor cabinet where I live)

His sunburn there is distracting (unless he is suffering from Barnaby Joyce syndrome). I have nothing else meaningful to say about Tim Wilson.

I'm in my 50s and my wife is convinced I'm having an affair. In reality, I'm spending the time and money with a driving instructor learning how to reverse park.

True or not, one can only aspire to be this petty
Primary teacher here: If your kid is dressed as a donkey in the nativity, it's on purpose; they are an ass in the classroom. Equally, with angels - angelic for the majority of time. Wrote in a special cactus part one year for an odious little prick.

‘Rescuing a robotaxi’ lol
Because riders and passersby can be unreliable, Waymo pays workers in L.A. $20 or more for rescuing a robotaxi by closing a door, summoning help through an app called Honk that is like an Uber for towing companies.
When robot taxis get stuck, a secret army of humans comes to the rescue
Waymo robotaxis get stranded when a passenger leaves the door open. Tow truck operators can get paid $22 to close a door and set them free again.
