This is 2025 Silence = corroboration That's well known now
Is that the American version of Old Spice? Ouch
When the Murdoch succession plan is explained as Rupert being more concerned about ensuring the ongoing profitability of his media business due to its conservative bias, than about fairness or family harmony, why would they merit any recognition as credible news.
History will recall you were played like chumps
I weep for the violence of throwing digital sheep
Techbro hype makes us fucking stupid, and just gives them money
The Israeli Government has made an ad about the Global Sumud Flotilla headed for Gaza, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.
This sounds like @theshovel.bsky.social and Scott Morrison
Painted Buttonquail!!! I'd never seen one of these tiny (20cm) birds until today, and it was *IN MY BACKYARD!* Fun fact: Buttonquails aren't quails, and aren't even galliformes. They're more closely related to shorebirds like plovers and curlews.
Just adding that a lot of people get it with their tetanus shot (TDAP) and the T is good for 10 years which is when most of us re-up so you may not have great immunity for pertussis

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).
You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who wouldāve celebrated yours.
Havenāt posted in a while bc Iāve needed a break but I have to say everyone tossing around a pedophileās drawing of the body of a child victim of sex trafficking like itās a fucking joke is minimizing the gravity of the horror of the situation and triggering the fuck out of survivors everywhere
Poland asks NATO to activate Article 4 over Russian drone incursion Article 4 of the NATO treaty allows member states to request consultations with the allies if they believe their security has been threatened, without triggering a military response.
My dog was not brave at the vet but I lied and told her she was
Just seen two crows chase off a drone. Bravo crows
At least Poland reacted (bsky.app/profile/benb...). Yes, that was a nato test
All the winning
Plus he is known to follow children around parks, and stare at them to "diagnose disease". Definitely on brand Republican behaviour
When I visited Tucson I always loved seeing the earth's shadow creep up the mountains at sunset.
It turns out that protecting hate speech did not create the conditions to protect other kinds of speech; instead, it protected hate and allowed hate movements to take over all the institutions of that might have defended the rest of us.
David Sedaris once compared being fact-checked by The New Yorker to being penetrated in the arse by a hot thermos. One of the magazineās fact-checkers remarked: āIf a thermos works, the outside wouldnāt be hotā.

Of course that should be cockwombling nazi
Awww. Did getting called a simpleton racist tiny-dick cockwomble nazi compensating cosplayer, hit a nerve sweetie?
Show some decency people. It's not going to kill you
Legs (our Door Huntsman) was out on the open tonight! I should measure her some time, but only if I can think of a way to do it without stressing her. I'd guess a 10cm legspan (4 inches). #spiders
Vaccines are battle training for your immune system. If you could give it intel on the enemy, why would you withhold that? Give me ALL the vaccines! I want to be prepared for everything!
Got to add a 50 blood donation badge to my wall of awards last week. Well chuffed.
1) going to keep saying: a society that wants to keep functioning must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities 2) calling a lie a lie seems like it could help www.newsweek.com/robert-f-ken...
He just needs to grift a trump memorial statue company and they will welcome him with open golden arms
Great minds and all that š Yeah, 5 miles every day is rare. It's funny what we all believe without thinking
10,000 steps is only suggested because the Japanese manufacturer of a pedometer chose 10,000 because the Japanese symbol for that number looks like a walking man. It's all advertising hype
lol
Does that include sniffing time?
First warm night of spring tonight. Min of 16 C (60 F) and nearly warm enough to put the ceiling fan on. Certainly unusually warm to be annoying
Just found a video about screws. I love the internets somedays. Thanks Five Duck Studio
This is why US healthcare gets a D- Australia, free booster and you just have to book in with the pharmacy to make sure they have the stock available and someone to administer it.
You needed prescriptions!? Just walk up and you get a free vaccine
Frozen orbits are a new one for me. Cool
FFS. Vaccines do not stop you transmitting Covid. It lowers your symptoms. Dangerous buffoon
Money happened
Unless you live in Australia where it's banned for children
Spinners turtle says what now
My early thoughts on the Anthropic settlement: a) good, fucking pay us b) no, thatās not enough c) shouldnāt have stolen our shit to train your stupid mediocre plagiarism artbarf robot in the first place, you fuckers d) this isnāt something to celebrate; it is a Pyrrhic victory at best
Okay, I'm spoiling the answer because I'm dying to show you more photos. This gorgeous Laughing Kookaburra landed beside a path facing away from me. I cautiously approached and photographed its rear, thinking it'd be all I got, but it stayed put as I got closer and closer! #birds
Kookaburras are the only animal that looks like its stuffed toy

This was when I was at a foreground in Dec 2006 during a bushfire callout. It was around midday at the time. The not very good second photo is the sun
He was also convinced that, surely, victims of gun violence would have their medical bills covered by the government. He absolutely could not accept the idea that they would have to pay for their recovery themselves.
Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didnāt believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

And if you have GoodSam in your area, I would highly recommend signing up. This dispatches local responders to cardiac arrests. Half the time I have got there before the emergency services because I am closer. Every second counts. www.goodsamapp.org

We had āten commandmentsā posters passed out to all the teachers at our school today, so I spent the first 15 minutes of the class pointing out how many of the commandments Ken Paxton is accused of breaking. The kids applauded me. šš¤£
Patched the hose up. Again.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, whoād had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what wouldāve happened if they hadnāt been vaccinated. āOh, theyād have died.ā

After @tmfscottp.bsky.social reminded me of this blood donation lark, just over 2 years later and I clock up my 50th donation for #LifebloodAU That's 43 litres of life saving plasma. If I can save a life, you can too!

Future archeologists will wonder on the societal implications of the images on our devices. Were they totems of power, local gods to worship?

Deleted post because I responded to a later comment before seeing the thread. Sorry
I think they messed up the decimal point
Migrants to Australia have displayed an inability to assimilate with local values and refuse to speak anything but their native tongue, a study covering the last 237 years has found.
I keep forgetting about my springstars until they flower each year. Very delicate but super hardy in my garden #bloomscrolling #spring

We live in a quiet neighbourhood. Have a street library, nice lawns, etc. so the rare time I have to get up early tomorrow one of my neighbours is having a rowdy party. Just a bit of shouting and music so far but ffs, you could have had it last night...
I suppose wrecking the economy has its advantages. His gravestone is unlikely to get egged
