100000% on the parents - poor kids tbh. Imagine dealing wit the pass agg (or agg) behaviour when you got into the car after that time. The mental and physical space that bus rides or walks to school can be an important part of your inner space and growing up, regardless of socio economics/location
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Shame
Chat gpt infographics - that it suggests it create for you unprompted - are riddled with errors
The most fucked thing about all of this is that they don’t actually believe in the genocidal Israeli cause, they just got over-excited about a free, all-expenses-paid, trip overseas that made them feel a bit special
JFC we’re doomed
Betteridge’s law of headlines at play right here
No.
You’re evil Israel. Stop killing kids and journalists
Hey where’s our standard statement? Rinse, repeat
My kid is the only person in his class without a phone. He’s 11! Apparently some 6yos have phones and Snapchat - wtaf. That’s 100% on the parents
I accuse Netanyahu of being a “Zionist fanatic” who wants to “murder Palestine”🙄
“…trust AI to deliver good outcomes” shows they have zero knowledge of how it works. Terrifying for policy direction.
Packet brownies are the bomb! So affordable compared to home-made versions, taste almost as good and just add frozen raspberries! 👌
‘…or just a Palestinian state’ - what a ghoul
100% and they still haven’t explained why it’s okay for Israel to defend itself but not okay for Palestine to defend itself
Thanks Sydneysiders 🇵🇸❤️🖤🤍💚
This is what Gaza City looks like right now, the northern tip of Gaza. No journalist has been there for months. No airplane has been allowed to fly over it and take pictures (this pic was taken in secret). >>
"60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names."
I’d forgotten about that - it’s definitely better than most of the songs that made the list
Worried about my husband - he’s got an unusual case of the double sads from the triffids bit making it and the lions winning because of a bad call
Yes! And Honeymoon is Over was everyone’s break up anthem in the 90s
Why do we hate it?
Lols I had to turn off the radio
Gave the song meaning it never had before
14yo me loved it. 18yo me hated it. 50 year old me still hates it but has a tiny bit of nostalgia for it. Thought it would be higher but kind of think it landed where it fits
The list is only as good as the voters 🤔
Honestly think Scar was a worthy #1 among those. And even had cross-Gen agreement (x and alpha) - including that Exit Sign lost out
Fair points. Love underground lovers. Also gobetweens not high enough
Truth hurts hey @albomp.bsky.social “Thanks for all the cash, here’s some F-35 parts. Please don’t use them, #peaceinthemiddleeast, #gravelyconcerned, yadda yadda. Also, if you run out, for reasons we don’t wanna hear about, don’t forget to come back for more”
Me too. Feels unaustralian but cold chisel meh
Same situation in Aust. These are profound yet terrible insights -thank you @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
Eeew so gross
tbqh is my new fave gen x acronym - thank you vm grogs
Get to it @albomp.bsky.social @sussanley.bsky.social
I literally spend my days challenging people to use active voice and it’s a lot harder than you’d hope
Passive fucking voice - I hate it
Can’t watch it. It’s such a wrench from reality to no longer be able to rely on the abc news as an anchor at the end of the day
I miss them a lot
Do you think it was the muppets that made out 80s childhoods a little less stressful/more bearable?
Yes. It’s a weird version of Karma. I hate the fucker but stop giving him oxygen. Time will win out eventually and we just have to hope it’s a better he devil you know situation
Theory: they eventually want to be found out. I can’t explain why - there will or may be many reasons
Heinous
Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.
‘Non-doms’?
She’s literally turning in on herself - what a depraved ghoul
Heartfelt thanks for your posts Nigella - lovely daily doses of simple human delight 🩷

Some adults just assume the worst about kids, which says a lot about them
Crisis management is always like putting lipstick on a pig
…while blinded by their own misguided and aspirational social climbing delusions about the housing markets and private schools
Gambling reform should be easy
Aukus is a live exercise in sunk cost
Tracks…
This, from p1, is particularly egregious and so flawed in its logic
And catastrapostrophe’s!
No but they watched the film and thought it looked fab 🙄
Or ‘Israel’s campaign in Gaza’ - heard that on the radio this morning and it’s weasel words of the worst kind
Dumbass arrogance at its finest
Is ranked choice the same as preferential voting, as used in Australia?
It’s as bad as suspected
“Little information treats”
Why could it not be both?
Excellent and exhausting and so insanely precise
Hard disagree - still dodge
That’s beside the point - plagiarism is wrong
Because plagiarising is unethical
ChatGPT at work maybe?
We are not okay
Dude makes no sense
It has zero reasoning, it just repeats stuff. The fact Elon and his tech numpties equate repetition with reasoning is THE REASON the education system is fucked and we are where we are
What’s left to secure of the rocket and pad when it’s blown to shite? What’s being ‘safed’? Sounds diversionary
Best thing ever - pls put on a t-shirt
Oooh what is wicked cheese? It sounds delightful
wtf are safing operations
He’s delusional and very unclear, and there is not any robust info coming out of his mouth (lots of should, ‘I heard’ etc)
Impressed you had a bra on 😂
Thank you!
Do you have links readily available by any chance? Would love to read them
How could you not want to prevent significant harm to your very own kids. I have tried to understand antivax and failed, and tbh not sure I want to understand. Zero logic or humanity
Wend is such a beautiful word
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Also, they’ve always been shitty products - we’re just more dependent on them and there are fewer alternatives today
Type -ai after your search and it skips the daft ai summary
Do you think the author is Web Ferret’s pseudonym
That is very fucked up. Not a hint of humanity or even shame! I’d also argue that with three ambitions, he’s likely to achieve sweet fa
Steffi Graf told me to be quiet while I was standing on the sidelines of a practice court
Wore my watch upside down all day once - didn’t realise till that night
Fucking monsters
Absolufuckinglutely perfect 👇
Nah let it die
The fact it’s a Justine Bateman quote is sublime
Chilling - the fact more than one person saw that and thought it was a good idea is terrifying. No soul, no shame, no humanity
"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."
I would live happily ever after in a wordless world of interrobangs and ellipses
I’m repeatedly saying ‘if you can’t be bothered to write it, why should we be bothered to read it’ and it falls on deaf ears - it’s like people are generating stuff to tick off a list and don’t care what happens next. Mindless tech is literally eating people’s souls
Everything’s hard when you’re trying to plunder
So over the monetising of menopause 🙄
Brains full of mid-exceptionalism
