Sometimes, amidst the moss, shadows, and ancient trees of the forest, you discover a stone, a root, or an old tree and suddenly stop—because, for a fleeting moment, you see something entirely different in it. The forest possesses this wonderful ability to reawaken our imagination.

Elder Nibling informed me the other day that Tom Hardy actually has an entire rap / hip hop career I was unaware of, subsequently playing a track where he does the Bane voice, and now I need there to be a collaboration track between Tom Hardy and Tom *Cardy* how do I make this happen?

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

the RBA board are unanimously psychopaths with no regard for the pain they cause

RBA board unanimously voted to hike and is ready to lift rates again.

The RBA’s rate-setting board has warned its fears about inflation were coming to fruition and it is ready to lift interest rates again, in its statement accompanying its decision today.

The nine-member unanimously voted to lift rates to 4.6%, showing stronger resolve than ANZ and Westpac had forecast (each predicted a split vote).

It singled out a broadening Middle East conflict and strong AI-related demand for pushing up prices globally. Locally, inflation was higher than the RBA expected and businesses were either lifting their prices or looking to do so.

The board said higher fuel prices were partially being passed on to prices of other goods and services and it was possible the ongoing US war on Iran could push inflation still higher and drag global economic activity even lower.

The RBA has already lifted interest rates three times this year. The board said those hikes appeared to be slowing the economy but another was needed to bring too-high inflation back down “in a reasonable period”.

It warned it was not necessarily done moving rates:

The Board will continue to do what it considers necessary to bring inflation sustainably back to target, including increasing the cash rate target further if needed.

My husband and his friends realised they thought they were good guys but still made like, ironic-sexist jokes. They introduced the 'sexism snake' where wherever one of them made a sexist comment or joke, the others would just start hissing. Didn't need to get into an argument about it, just hissing.

The food people need is in grocery stores. They just need the permission slips (cash) to access it. Food banks should not exist. They are a symptom of failed policy. They exist because universal basic income doesn't. We need UBI and it's a fight because the people doing this are doing it on purpose:

The difference in UK and US temperament is in the UK we “couldn’t care less” and the Yanks “could care less”. So the UK starts at complete disinterest, but the US has an innate level of enthusiasm that still has the capacity to move downwards. The Aussies, of course, don’t give a fuck.

We can learn from our queer elders 🫶🏻

when my masc lesbian aunt died, women just kept coming, screaming, crying, and saying they were her wives. Eventually we just had to start telling them to join the others. They were all devastated to learn about each other. Except for one who came in, kissed her dead mouth and showed us all that they had matching tattoos. She actually won all the mourning wives over and they all agreed she was the wife. It was so weird.

Did not expect more than a few people to see this but yes it really happened, yes it was insane

There's something deeply fucked about measuring the economy by how much stuff we produce and consume, but barely measuring whether people have enough time to cook dinner, know their neighbours, raise their kids, care for their parents or actually enjoy being alive.

Irish goalkeeper ‘standing up for something bigger’ after Israel match withdrawal
Gavin Bazunu has shared a statement on social media explaining his reasons for withdrawing from his national team’s Nations League match against Israel, saying that “my decision is based purely on the belief the killing of innocent people is wrong”.

“Representing my country means everything to me,” the goalkeeper wrote. “I am a man of strong faith and try my best to be a person of morals and principles, therefore I feel that participating in the upcoming matches against Israel would be wrong”.

He added: “There are times when you have the opportunity to stand for a greater cause, and I strongly believe this is one of those moments”.
