Anyway, here’s a picture of a wombat loaf I took pictures of today when I went to a wildlife sanctuary.

Do we reckon’ Pauline thinks that if you have a larger economy and divide it by a smaller number of people that everyone will just automatically get more?

A screenshot of a FB post from the Courier Mail. The text reads: “Pauline Hanson has hit back at critics who claim One Nation's policy to drastically slash visas and international student numbers will tank Australia's economy.”

Beneath is an image of Pauline Hanson with a maroon background. It is captioned with the following text (a quote attributed to Hanson): “A larger economy on paper means nothing if Australians are poorer per person and cannot afford a home, find a hospital, or get ahead.”

Got back behind the DM screen tonight for the first time in nearly two years. Feels good to subject my friends to my absolute nonsense.

What did you call my Skyland Flowers?

You know you've got #POTS when one of the best things to happen to you in the last month is that you discover your favourite flavour of your preferred electrolyte drink is once again being made! (For some reason they stopped making the lemon flavour over a year ago!)

What a truly bizarre way to report on the fact that a decisive majority of Australians want to stick with net zero...

A screenshot from Facebook of a Brisbane Times post. The headline reads: "Third of voters want net zero gone as Coalition meets to decide position". The caption read: "Almost one in three Australians want the Albanese government to dump its commitment to net zero emissions by 2050, as the Coalition meets to decide on its heavily contested climate policy."

Conservative media is going to be so bloody tedious about Mamdani, aren’t they?

A picture of a New York Post FB link. The thumbnail reads: “CNN’s Van Jones among those raising alarm at Mamdani’s instant ‘character switch’ after winning power.”

The text of the post says: "He was using the microphone in a way that he was almost yelling. That’s not the Mamdani that we’ve seen on Tiktok and the great interviews and stuff like that."

I saw this quote and I am definitely not a fan of the implication that autism isn’t a permanent disability…

Picture of Disability Minister Mark Butler with the following text overlayed: “Children with mild to moderate levels of developmental delay and autism should not, in my view, be on a scheme set up for permanent disability.” Below that it reads in a subtitle: “Disability Minister Mark Butler has declared the NDIS is ‘not the right fit’ for thousands of children with autism.”

New absolutely appalling 'justification' of Israel's killing in Gaza just dropped. The per-hour killing rate of Israel is *way better* than Hamas did on Oct 7 🙃

A screenshot of an instagram comment from "rafiki_in_a_temple": It reads: "@timhuttonpersonal About the 1200 people you haven't still got the point.
They were killed in 8 to 9 hours. That's 133 to 140 people slaughtered per hour. How many Gazans were killed per hour by the IDF in 580 days?
52.000/580, then the result/24. That's more or less 4 Gazans per hour. It is not the death rate of a genocide, nor of indiscriminate killings. It's the death rate of a war against terrorists who hide among civilians and get tracked down."

Me every time there is a new, earth-shattering plot twist in #Clairobscur:

The onion cartoon meme of the figure labeled “sickos” pressed up against a window smiling wickedly and saying “yes...ha ha ha...yes! but edited so he looks like a French aristocrat. He is instead saying "Oui... hon hon hon... OUI!" and instead of "sicko" it says "Pervers".

I have many concerns about the use of AI in education, but one of my bigger ones is that instead of re-thinking how we do assessment that education systems will just opt to do more exams...

A screenshot of a Facebook link to a Betoota Advocate article. The title is: "Schools Come Up With Groundbreaking New Method To Stop Students From Using ChatGPT On Their Essays" and the caption says "It's called a pen and paper".

Disappointed to learn this is not a Shaun Micallef TTRPG...

A Facebook ad for a TTRPG sourcebook called "Mad as Hell". It features the book on a red background.

The text above the image reads: "The evils of capitalism have torn holes in the fabric of the world, allowing demons to hunt the vulnerable and make life a living hell. As Radicals in Mad as Hell, you'll work with your Communities to hunt these monsters down and bring an end to the quiet violence that brought them into existence."

This is really interesting in my electorate. Still low numbers but it's very significant that this seat is now a Labor/Greens contest. Large Muslim population, retiring incumbent Labor MP, a lot of dissatisfaction re: the Gaza/Israel situation. #AusPol #AusVotes

It's interesting that the ABC frames Albo as a "wannabe PM" when he is, you know, currently the PM.

A screenshot of the ABC website. There is an image of Anthony Albanese standing among a group of children.

Below it is the headline: "Two wannabe PMs, a media pack and the search for gold"

Beneath the headline is the following preview text: "As Albanese and Dutton crisscrossed the country aiming to win over voters, ABC photographers were there to capture the best images of the campaign."

Funnily enough, just saw this over on The Other Website

A screencap of a Tweet from @ianbremmer. It reads: "european tourism to the united states: freefallling" and is followed by an image of a series of graphs showing "Year-on-year change in visitors to the US, by country of origin (%)" - demonstrating a precipitous fall in tourism from eight major European countries.

People talk about “Trump derangement syndrome” but I can’t help feel a large portion of the conservative internet has Zegler derangement syndrome. Extreme emotional dysregulation when presented with anything to do with Rachel Zegler. Is this news supposed to make me like her less?

A screenshot of a tweet from Variety. It reads:

“After Rachel Zegler posted "F--- Donald Trump" on Instagram, Disney paid a social media guru to work with the #SnowWhite star to vet any posts before the film's March 21 release. https://wp.me/pc8uak-1lFArD”

A screenshot I took as of about 5 minutes ago.

A screenshot from the website linked in the previous post. It lists things that violate Meta’s new hate speech policy.

“ Insults, including those about:
Character, including but not limited to allegations of cowardice, dishonesty, basic criminality, and sexual promiscuity or other sexual immorality.
Mental characteristics, including but not limited to allegations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, and unsupported comparisons between PC groups on the basis of inherent intellectual capacity. We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like “weird.””

People get so weird about the specifics of how others wash themselves. I have no problem with washcloths, but as long as someone isn’t visibly soiled, and doesn’t smell, there’s no reason to think they’d be “unhygienic” for washing with just their hands and soap…

A screenshot from Threads of a post and a comment to that post.

The OP reads: “hey stop using your hand to wash your body in the shower. get a wash cloth!”

The reply reads: “The number of unhygienic people in the comments are too damn high. A washcloth scrubs off the particles. Otherwise you’re just rubbing soaped up particles around.”

Okay so I’m currently at my parents’ place and while going through old stuff I found this book. I loved it so much as a child, but nobody I speak to seems to have heard of it. Even the internet has scant information on it. Am I alone in knowing this book?

A picture of a children’s book. It is called “Mazeworld, the Incredible Maze Journey” by John Pinkney (Illustrated by Tracey Moroney).

The picture on the front is of a labyrinth set of paths that wind through a jungle mountainside. At the top is an old castle. Framing the cover image are a few other items like a green dragon and a bejewelled dagger.

Sharing here because I think a lot of people in the #LongCOVID and #MECFS communities who’ve left Twitter might want to know. Unfortunately, it sounds like Gemma Carey—an outspoken advocate for the LC/ME/chronic illness community—has died. Very sad indeed, and my condolences go out to her family.
