The Victorian Liberal party say they don't want this man talking at their fundraising events anymore in case they run into problems with political donation laws… Or they can't stand looking at him/listening to him. (You couldn't pay me to listen to /look at him.)

🎯 'A man raped her' instead of 'she was raped.' Have you ever read a headline that reads "A bank was robbed by a suspect?" Nope. It's "A suspect robbed a bank."

Christina Ricci in front of a patterned wall with the text: Maybe we should start talking about how many men out of 3 will sexually assault someone... instead of how many women out of 3 will be assaulted. Lets shift the ownership..

[incredibly depressing, satellites] So many satellite streaks in 13 second exposures (and one airplane, you can tell because it's dashed)

Looking up at the Milky Way vertically across the photo, with the Andromeda Galaxy easily visible. There are the tops of a couple of spruce trees silhouetted down in the corner. And a lot of satellite streaks all over the photo.

The moon rising above the horizon, with a streak from headlights as someone drives by, and lots of satellite streaks in front of the Milky Way vertically across the photo.

[incredibly depressing, satellites] While I was out photographing, I saw out of the corner of my eye the BRIGHTEST satellite flare I've ever seen - this happens when the sun reflects off a big flat thing, like a solar panel, directly at you. It was much, much brighter than Venus. It was just […]

To be clear, I'm not one of the cool kids that can claim that they can't name a single Sheeran song. I do occasionally put on his music, especially his older stuff like A team and Lego House. I find it easy listening and I don't mind it from time to time. So it's kinda disappointing 🤷

My biggest issue with the whole ed Sheeran situation is that he claims to be neutral and apolitical (which is a whole thing in itself)... but held a concert for Ukraine. The hypocrisy is loud and colour-coded. You can't have your cake and eat it Ed. Which is it? *When your spine don't work […]

It's late August and I'm in a t-shirt. It's glorious, but it's also why I spent a good part of the day putting up placards for the Greens.

Modern Dependency Problems (with apologies and thanks to XKCD) Probably needs more arrows, tbh

The classic XKCD dependency stack cartoon, but relabeled. The image shows a huge pile of boxes representing "all modern digital infrastructure" precariously balanced atop each other. A label at the right (ha!) says "A project led by a guy who then turns out to be a fascist" and arrows point from that to boxes all over the diagram.
