I have only seen peripheral info about this movie but now I really do want to see it.

Thinking about it, I do still have an ‘aaaaa’ but no longer along the lines of ‘ugh I have to stay across this in case I have to write about it’.

The past year has been the most disconnected from the mainstream news cycle I’ve been since I left journalism three years ago, and let me tell you it’s very nice not to have a constant running ‘aaaaaaaa’ in the back of my mind.

Perfumes generally used to give me a bad headache, but that seems to have eased over the years. The candle thing is really annoying, why won’t they tell you?

study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

My. Garmin watch keeps telling me every morning that I’ve had a terrible night of sleep and I need to rest today, but also don’t nap too much, but also get some light exercise, but also try to stretch and relax. I think Garmin needs a ‘baby waking through the night’ setting.

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today
Pope Leo XIV
Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal

I reject this whole heartedly. What you fail to see Mr Pope, the Bible says

Every day I look down at my happy, chubby four-month-old and think of babies just like him starving in Gaza. How can this be allowed, how can it continue.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

How is it legal for insurance companies to charge you substantially more if you want to pay your premiums fortnightly or monthly? Hundreds of dollars more for the same product because people might not have thousands of dollars to pay upfront?

Has anyone written anything about the increasing state-funded privatisation of Australia’s national parks? So many new walks that are promoted now, but all requiring payment. National parks should be national, not user pays to such a degree.

Small selfish thing but it makes me sad I won’t be able to go back to the US for the near future. I’ve wanted to go back and see friends for years and it was looking more possible, but now there’s not a chance I’d risk it.
