fun fact: new zealand has the highest rates of homelessness in the OECD because we've been in a real estate bubble since like 1980

Man, it’s kinda dark seeing people talk about how Leda is the worst person ever, meanwhile her story and backstory are based on the actual historical expulsion of the Romani from IRL Aragorn/Arago Spain and it’s like, the first time a Romani protagonist exists that also gets to do a revenge story

My boss' boss made some good noises about establishing a dedicated Team Lead and Principal roles in my team, the latter of which would be for me if I didn't quit (the TL role would be for my TL who is on like 40k less than me and got banded even worse)

I was super into Amphoreus, but it started to lose me a bit as it got weirder. I wasn't that into Planarcadia, because it was a bit weird. But now? Oh, now I'm locked in.

look, you can't just punish trump when dems are in power. that might make republicans do something crazy, like stage a coup, illegally shred the federal bureaucracy, or even vstart abducting people off the street and extraditing them to torture sites all over the world

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

I was talking to one of the contractors today and he told me that he feels more secure as a contractor than a full time employee, because he is insulated from exactly the sort of bullshit I am dealing with

let me be perfectly clear: I'm getting my pay rise this can happen by the job being re-banded to allow the already negotiated 2.5% increase to occur or it can happen by me talking to either of the two project managers who would LOVE to have my dedicated time, and I quit to become a contractor

This is a great insight from a young woman in Canberra on housing and time and multiculturalism www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

The woman who feels priced out of spare time

Rosie* is in her 30s and lives in Canberra. She captured the point vividly.

"Housing gets covered as deposits, rates, supply. Living it, the real cost is time. You work the hours the housing demands, in the suburb the housing pushed you to, and what gets sacrificed is the ability to sit down with the people around you.

"Multiculturalism worked in this country when people had time to spend with people unlike themselves. Not policy time — ordinary time. Backyards, front steps, sport, the shops, someone's kitchen. That's how a stranger stops being a category and becomes a neighbour.

"We have spent 30 years pricing that time out of people's lives and now we're surprised that cohesion is fraying and asking what went wrong with our values.

"When people are exhausted and stretched and never in the same room, difference stops being interesting and starts being threatening. That's not a failure of tolerance. It's a failure of time. That's what I'd want people in power to understand."

Ah god dammit. I'm on Classic mode, and a unit that I thought was story and therefore safe from being eliminated died during it. Didn't think it would stick, so I didn't use an undo. Unfortuantely I was wrong - while still present for story, she is now 'Withdrawn' and unusable for combat :(
