Oh no, it may be worse than that - did he need to sleep with her to stop being a useless idiot?

The incel wannabe poet in the Orwell book I'm reading has just introduced his girlfriend (who won't sleep with him yet) to his very rich friend and I am 1000% sure I know what happens next. He'll blame it on money, but in reality is because the other guy isn't a cranky jerk

So annoying that this keeps going around when that's not what she said - she said only keep in your house items you love, and she personally only keeps 30 books that she absolutely loves and the rest go to second-hand places

There have been zero rosellas today which is unusual so I suspect the fighting may have put them off

Hey #Birds and #ausbirds I have been informed that what I previously thought were magpies are in fact pied currawongs. I learned that in time to understand today that the turf war outside my window was between two magpies and two currawongs, not four magpies. #apologies for the misinformation
Picture of a CURRAWONG - definitely NOT a magpie, as you can tell by the eye colour

Ten years ago, the thought of acknowledging other intelligent life in the universe if it exists was fraught with concern about political and religious stability etc. Now everyone would be like "those fuckers were probably in the Epstein files too"

I knocked over all my books by the window in my excitement to look at the birds and one of the rosellas has decided I'm an immediate threat and fled

There are three magpies, two rosellas and… an unidentified stranger higher up in the tree?…all here at the same time

Cohesion. My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Chris Minns stands beside a massive tonne weight marked NSW POLICE being lowered by a crane. Visible sticking out from under the weight are hands, legs, a woman’s face, a keffiyeh and placards saying “NO TO GENOCIDE”, “FREE PALESTINE”, “HERZOG OUT”, “NO TO VIOLENCE” Minns says, “Thst should socially cohere them nicely.”
