Bumface by Morris Gleitzman. Most memorable book opening ever.

Front cover of the novel Bumface by Morris Gleitzman.

"Angus Solomon,` sighed Ms Lowry. 'Is that a penis you've drawn in your exercise book?"
Angus jumped, startled, and remembered where he was.
MS Lowry was standing next to his desk, staring down at the page. Other kids were sniggering.
Angus felt his mouth go dry and his heart speed up. For a second he thought about lying. He decided not to.
'No, Miss,' he admitted, 'it's a submarine.'
Ms Lowry nodded grimly. 'I thought as much,' she said. 'Now stop wasting time and draw a penis like I asked you to.' She pointed to the one she'd drawn on the blackboard.

Yesterday, Bluesky Trending thought Madonna and Mamdani were the same topic. Today, Mbappe and Mbappé are two distinct subjects.

I found this on BBC Persian (using Google Translate) www.bbc.com/persian/arti...

Although this non-profit school is declared to be for girls, the verification department found that the school had four floors and that the classes for male and female students were on separate floors

Albo thinks David Pocock like Pauline Hanson in that he 'seeks to promote grievances'? Fuck off! Almost every day now Albo somehow manages to find a new way to show how out of touch he is. #auspol

Screenshot from The Guardian Australia live news feed:
Albanese takes a swipe at David Pocock Anthony Albanese has taken a swipe at the ACT senator David Pocock describing him as someone who "seeks to promote grievance" in similar language he's used for Pauline Hanson.
Live on Karl Stefanovic's podcast from the Lodge, Albanese was asked why the average person pays more in tax to have a beer than mining companies get taxed "bleeding our resources dry" - a point Pocock has apparently raised.
The prime minister didn't hold his
tongue when he spoke about the
independent progressive senator's
criticisms: "I think David Pocock is someone who seeks to promote grievance as well."
Stefanovic joked not to get on the wrong side of the former Wallabies captain, to which Albanese responded: "I'm sure he will cherrypick accordingly.'

LOL, I pinched this from Reddit earlier this week... Photo by Masayuki Oki (okirakuoki on Instagram)

Two ginger cats. One cat is standing facing away from the camera and has its tail up, clearly showing it is an unneutered male. The other cat is sitting down, facing the camera and yawning, but its position next to the first cat makes it appear as though it is about to take a chomp on the first cat's scrotum.

Some of my pics from the #Canberra protest and march

A large crowd of people are walking away from the camera, disappearing into the distance. There are several Palestinian flags being carried by the crowd, and two placards are visible, bearing the words NO TO HERZOG! and FREE PALESTINE!

A large crowd of people gathered in a leafy urban square. There are several Palestinian flags visible.

A placard that says WAR CRIMINAL HERZOG NOT WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA. The words are written in black on white card, and the name Herzog is embellished with red and surrounded by red flecks. The placard is being held in front of a large crowd of people in a tree-lined urban square.

A crowd of people are marching past the camera. They are carrying placards, banners, and Palestinian flags. On those faces that are visible, mouths are open, mid-chanting in unison.

The EU's approach to asylum seekers is shaped by a dangerous assumption: that accusations of extremism or terrorism issued by Central Asian governments can be trusted, and that diplomatic assurances from authoritarian regimes provide meaningful protection against abuse. In practice, these assumptions have enabled European states to deport activists, journalists, and opposition figures directly into prisons, torture, and lengthy sentences imposed after sham trials.

🎶 One of these things is not like the others 🎶 Denying the Oct 7 attacks is inexcusably contemptible. Supporting the BDS movement or the ICC is not. But the writer/editor has bizarrely chosen to list these things in an order which suggests some equivalence.

The new regulations included ideological requirements - including disqualifying organizations that have called for boycotts against Israel, denied the Oct. 7 attack or expressed support for any of the international court cases against Israeli soldiers or leaders.

I'm literally at a loss for words except to say: I have no respect for NSW Premier Chris Minns. None. And not for any other politician who is literally letting effing *ISIS* off the hook only to blame... people who oppose crimes against humanity??? #auspol

Headline from The Guardian Australia live news feed: Pro-Palestinian protests 'unleashing forces in our community that are not being contained'

Quote from the same post in The Guardian Australia live news feed: "I mean, my view about these protests
has been that it is unleashing forces in our community that are not being contained. When you see people marching and showing violent, bloody images, images of death and destruction, it's unleashing something in our community that the organisers of the protest can't contain."
