i think rage at congestion pricing is a good example of how no one believes that the world can be positive sum anymore. like, people pay a small fee to get access to a faster commute — saving them valuable time — and the money improves public transit, saving other people valuable time. it's win-win!

Every five years your body should reset so you don't know how little sleep you can function on. In the past I've survived on 3-4 hours sleep but that was a different girl, and I need to forget that knowledge.

Australian government and Murdoch press really do be in cahoots over an incredibly short sighted “social media ban” for teens.
Probably one, the policy proposed ALL users supply the platform with a photo ID to use … how could anyone trust Meta/X/TikTok to have a key identity document on file?!!

Me preparing to go home to Australia for Christmas and fight about America’s election and the Harris campaign choices, while not screaming “you’re about to do the same thing because Albanese is so weak ass moderate and Dutton will use similar ‘fear of other people/racism’ to the win” … yay 🤦🏻♀️

Christmas movie classic Die Hard does so many things well, but less valued is the incompetence of the LAPD and fatal arrogance of the FBI. We need more action movies to bring this back, instead of a Can’t Lose Rock situation
