Trying to be better. Looking at how to pick apart kyriarchy. Intersectionality = win. Same handle on the Bird Hellsite (old Hellsite posts at @archivingally.bsky.social). He/him/his.
Also feel like there’s a whole bit around this but substituting “Catholic traditions” for “conservative beliefs”.
Yeah I mean … look at her. If these trash talking dipshits had a woman this pretty in their immediate vicinity they would lose the power of speech.
The Australian kids TV character that had nightmare demon energy was EC from the 90s show Lift-Off. The voiceless, faceless puppet that was ostensibly a stand-in for children in general (EC stood for “Every Child”), but given the obvious horror movie vibes could easily be “Eviscerating Creature”.
And finally, as of the episode “Tradies”, we know that for-real actual swears exist in the Bluey universe, that the kids are aware of them, and know they shouldn’t say them.
Hey @roannasylver.bsky.social someone’s singing your song again. 💜
All the people in the replies trying to figure out gravity conversions for the Moon are thinking too small. If we take advantage of Hooke’s Law instead, we don’t have to recalculate for every planet!
It’s giving the same arrogance that was being lampooned in the classic Serena tweet.
Ugh true. Something I like to mention semi-regularly is that when the term “Lucky Country” was first applied to Australia, it wasn’t praise - it was a shot at how we built an economy around exploiting natural resources instead of being an innovative “clever country”. So much potential squandered.
Definitely thrilled for the people of Hungary. But as per @kossamaras.bsky.social this isn’t a victory of progressives over dictators. It’s a move away from authoritarian rule but still under the sway of right-wing issues. A qualified victory over evil is still a victory. Momentum matters!
Fans of the different football codes here (rugby league/union vs Aussie Rules) like to make fun of each other with this language: AFL fans mock rugby because you get points for “trying” Union/League fans mock Aussie Rules bc you get points for “missing” (1pt for kicks within the outer posts).
Yeah it turns out that the School of the Americas trained some of the most notorious death squads and coup leaders that ever laid waste to Latin America. A lot of their operations were focused on destabilising or overthrowing leftist governments. From soaw.org/about :
Gosh that name is a mouthful, though, right? It doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. Well uhhhhh yeah, that was a rebrand. The original name was much snappier - the School of the Americas:
You can’t fool me, that’s a sign indicating that behind that door lies Davros, forefather of the Daleks.
Honestly the past ten years of these robber barons wrecking everything have just proven @mikeljollett.bsky.social right about this one. Letting tech execs accumulate this much power and influence has been, and continues to be, harmful for *everybody*. Let’s name some goddamn dog parks.
This is the guy responsible for geopolitical risk assessments about the potential diplomatic, economic, logistical and strategic ramifications of nuclear strikes on petrostates.
Gosh I wonder what all these places being attacked by Israel & the USA have in common … hmmmm …
What Odysseus was saying as he strained against the bindings to try and get to the interview venue:
Since these assholes can’t handle being mocked: I say we make this the new “Trump yelling at kid with lawnmower” meme.
Holy shit. I know this is possibly one of those “taking for granted that things from your country are universal” things, but do y’all have school zones over there? Here in Oz the roads around a school that kids are likely to have to cross have lower speed limits during peak arriving/leaving times.
Ahhhh yeah you gotta switch the settings to “malevolent sentience”.
Wait a second, fucking POST SCRIPT. I hadn’t realised Andrew Cuomo had previously posted this tweet during the campaign. I underestimated just how well targeted that shiv was. That was Mamdani saying “Oh I *know* who your dad was. He was a great man. And you are not.”
