I've been on the internet a very long time, and I've had more "what on god's green earth are you even talking about" moments in the last 2 years than in the previous 20. Just absolutely baffling non sequiturs, straw men, logical fallacies, malicious misconstructions, you name it. We are unwell.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers

Unlimited fonts
Stretch them

No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands

🌟Shortlisted for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction🌟 Through three rom-com quoting characters, Audition explores carceral politics & the psychology of violence, & what healing from the harm of those systems might require in a world where embodiment & identity have lost all familiar forms.

A copy of Audition by Pip Adam stands on a black shelf next to a small glass vase holding a pinkish-yellow flower and some greenery with yellowy berries.

A quote from Audition: "It was a seamless balancing act between not wanting to be hurt anymore and being told nothing was hurting them. No one asked questions. But also, after a while there didn't seem to be a right question to ask. What was a question anyway? Everything felt off but that was the nature of things."

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from

A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

An u16 social media ban on selected platforms a) won't significantly stop u16s being those platforms; Australian evidence shows this. b) will institute mass identity surveillance of all users of any age on those platforms; and c) Won't affect key sources of online safety risk (roblox, chatbots).

Very disappointed to see the govt proposing a ban on under-16s using social media. While we agree there is work to be done, a ban is the wrong approach and interferes with young people's rights to communicate with family, each other, and the wider world. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Appreciating this photo from the World Fencing Championships, because who amongst us have never confidently attempted some bold manoeuvre in life, only for it to result with us immediately getting stabbed in the nads?

Two fencers. One has leapt boldly into the air, both feet off the ground, in some kind of daring swashbuckle, and as he flies his opponent has simply taken a step forward and stabbed him in the dick.
