There is zero reason for the Govt not to ban pervert glasses except for cases where they have been prescribed for medical reasons (ie assistance for those with vision impairment).

"A push to recognise claims of genocide in Gaza failed to gain enough support for a debate on the floor of Labor's national conference..." Or more accurately: 'a push to recognize the evidence of Israel's genocide in Gaza...' Unlike his Labor colleagues, Ed Husic still has a moral compass. #auspol

During our recent Euro Cup tour of Poland, Derick Deonarain, the leading run scorer in our history, became the first player in Iceland to amass 6,000 career runs. The left handed opener, who represents the Reykjavík Vikings Cricket Club domestically, can play any type of innings & has all the shots.

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

Astaire's tailoring is so good in Daddy Long Legs (1955). It's said that he used to dance, jump, and twirl in his tailor's fitting room to make sure the his jacket's collar never lifted off his neck. To me, he embodied American elegance.

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 Here are some of the cephalopods found in Canadian waters, from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts! (Not to many iNat observations from the Arctic though...)
A Baird's Octopus (Bathypolypus bairdii) sitting on the sea floor. Its arms are resting on the ground with their ends all curled up. It has papillae raised above each eye, making it look like it has horns. It is completely light brown, with some orangish pink underneath. Its eyes are kind of shine with you being able to see something yellow under the skin. The sea floor is sandy but there is small brown debris that appears to mostly be plant matter.A Giant Pacific Octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) tucked into a small, undersea ledge with two laminated pages of the Octopolis comic. The octopus has a bumpy skin texture, and has a mostly beige colour with some dark red. One page is in the foreground and one is in the back, and both are being grasped by the octopus's suckers. The double row of suckers is clearly visible on the arm grasping the page in the foreground.Two Longfin Inshore Squid (Doryteuthis pealeii) swimming near a mop of squid eggs on the left. The squid are a mix of off white and brown.A Stubby Bobtail (Rossia pacifica) posing on the sea floor. It is being illuminated by a divers light. It is a beautiful ruby red colour with iridescent golden areas all over, and iridescent  green areas on its arms. Its suckers are visible.
