You know you've got #POTS when one of the best things to happen to you in the last month is that you discover your favourite flavour of your preferred electrolyte drink is once again being made! (For some reason they stopped making the lemon flavour over a year ago!)

What a truly bizarre way to report on the fact that a decisive majority of Australians want to stick with net zero...
A screenshot from Facebook of a Brisbane Times post. The headline reads: "Third of voters want net zero gone as Coalition meets to decide position". The caption read: "Almost one in three Australians want the Albanese government to dump its commitment to net zero emissions by 2050, as the Coalition meets to decide on its heavily contested climate policy."

Conservative media is going to be so bloody tedious about Mamdani, aren’t they?
A picture of a New York Post FB link. The thumbnail reads: “CNN’s Van Jones among those raising alarm at Mamdani’s instant ‘character switch’ after winning power.” The text of the post says: "He was using the microphone in a way that he was almost yelling. That’s not the Mamdani that we’ve seen on Tiktok and the great interviews and stuff like that."

Awww FB memories reminded me that this day 12 years ago I was at the Moulin Rouge in Paris. Look at this baby:

I saw this quote and I am definitely not a fan of the implication that autism isn’t a permanent disability…
Picture of Disability Minister Mark Butler with the following text overlayed: “Children with mild to moderate levels of developmental delay and autism should not, in my view, be on a scheme set up for permanent disability.” Below that it reads in a subtitle: “Disability Minister Mark Butler has declared the NDIS is ‘not the right fit’ for thousands of children with autism.”

She just has 'reasonable concerns' (but compares people who support trans rights to the Taliban)...
A Tweet from JK Rowling that refers to supports of trans rights as "The Gender Taliban"...

It’s my birthday today and last night my housemate made me a cake! Yes that is a gently placed cryptobiote marshmallow reclining in the middle! #DeathStranding
A photo of a chocolate cake, with a happy birthday sign placed in it. There are two sparklers and a gently reclining cryptobiote on top of the cake.

The "let's get you back to bed grandma" meme - Grandma says: "Where do these initial three judges come from...?" Grandaughter says: "Let's get you back to bed, POTUS"

Ah yes, this extremely subtle character…

New absolutely appalling 'justification' of Israel's killing in Gaza just dropped. The per-hour killing rate of Israel is *way better* than Hamas did on Oct 7 🙃
A screenshot of an instagram comment from "rafiki_in_a_temple": It reads: "@timhuttonpersonal About the 1200 people you haven't still got the point. They were killed in 8 to 9 hours. That's 133 to 140 people slaughtered per hour. How many Gazans were killed per hour by the IDF in 580 days? 52.000/580, then the result/24. That's more or less 4 Gazans per hour. It is not the death rate of a genocide, nor of indiscriminate killings. It's the death rate of a war against terrorists who hide among civilians and get tracked down."

Me every time there is a new, earth-shattering plot twist in #Clairobscur:
The onion cartoon meme of the figure labeled “sickos” pressed up against a window smiling wickedly and saying “yes...ha ha ha...yes! but edited so he looks like a French aristocrat. He is instead saying "Oui... hon hon hon... OUI!" and instead of "sicko" it says "Pervers".

I have many concerns about the use of AI in education, but one of my bigger ones is that instead of re-thinking how we do assessment that education systems will just opt to do more exams...
A screenshot of a Facebook link to a Betoota Advocate article. The title is: "Schools Come Up With Groundbreaking New Method To Stop Students From Using ChatGPT On Their Essays" and the caption says "It's called a pen and paper".

Disappointed to learn this is not a Shaun Micallef TTRPG...
A Facebook ad for a TTRPG sourcebook called "Mad as Hell". It features the book on a red background. The text above the image reads: "The evils of capitalism have torn holes in the fabric of the world, allowing demons to hunt the vulnerable and make life a living hell. As Radicals in Mad as Hell, you'll work with your Communities to hunt these monsters down and bring an end to the quiet violence that brought them into existence."

This is really interesting in my electorate. Still low numbers but it's very significant that this seat is now a Labor/Greens contest.

Large Muslim population, retiring incumbent Labor MP, a lot of dissatisfaction re: the Gaza/Israel situation. #AusPol #AusVotes

It's interesting that the ABC frames Albo as a "wannabe PM" when he is, you know, currently the PM.
A screenshot of the ABC website. There is an image of Anthony Albanese standing among a group of children. Below it is the headline: "Two wannabe PMs, a media pack and the search for gold" Beneath the headline is the following preview text: "As Albanese and Dutton crisscrossed the country aiming to win over voters, ABC photographers were there to capture the best images of the campaign."

Tempopo is out! I am being very normal about this! (But also it's an extremely charming puzzle game by @witchbeam.com.au that you should go buy and play.)

Funnily enough, just saw this over on The Other Website
A screencap of a Tweet from @ianbremmer. It reads: "european tourism to the united states: freefallling" and is followed by an image of a series of graphs showing "Year-on-year change in visitors to the US, by country of origin (%)" - demonstrating a precipitous fall in tourism from eight major European countries.

People talk about “Trump derangement syndrome” but I can’t help feel a large portion of the conservative internet has Zegler derangement syndrome. Extreme emotional dysregulation when presented with anything to do with Rachel Zegler.

Is this news supposed to make me like her less?
A screenshot of a tweet from Variety. It reads: “After Rachel Zegler posted "F--- Donald Trump" on Instagram, Disney paid a social media guru to work with the #SnowWhite star to vet any posts before the film's March 21 release. https://wp.me/pc8uak-1lFArD”
