Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

In just two years, the Labor government have freed Australians Julian Assange, Cheng Lei, Sean Turnell and five of the Bali Nine from overseas prisons. Meanwhile, the LNP are scheming on ways that they can lock up your ten year old kids.

My ex and I did a 4,000km road-trip with a few spliffs and with the shotgun reading Winnie-the_Pooh out aloud. Iirc there was some pulling over due to hysterical laughter.
The reason so many 19th century novels really shine as audiobooks is because families reading aloud to each other at night *was* the entertainment of the 19th century.

My absolute favorite part of the dead salmon wearing trend (scientists are, as the article says, reasonably sure it's a fashion trend) is not that orcas have fashion, it's that they, too, have the occasional wave of 80s nostalgia.
Orcas have started wearing dead salmon as hats again, just fyi

after another long day of browsing old court documents, i just want to remind everyone that if a stranger agrees to do something illegal with you and they keep asking you to say out loud what the illegal plan is, that’s because the officer is recording you.
