Instead of the “would you like to round up and donate…” screen on the self serve checkouts, there should be a button you can push to drop the CEO into a tank of water.

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

I knew there was a reason I liked it.

Crafting — which includes knitting, pottery and jewelry-making — attracts some people because of the mental health benefits of a soothing, repetitive motion. A large survey found a strong association between frequent knitting and feeling “calm and happy.”

I was cruising for ideas for Christmas presents and found these. Of course it was slop (stupid Pinterest). And also not how woven fabrics work. But I think I can have a crack at making some anyway. Which one should I start with? (Don't say the dragonfly). #sewing #insect #antislop

guys, if you work for the puppy crushing factory, the technology you build is going to be used to crush puppies

Amazing 😍

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

If pollution laws meant anything (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) then both Canberra and the WA government would immediately move to shut down Chevron’s Gorgon plant

Because apparently this needs to be said: if you’re part of a coordinated disclosure process the appropriate thing to do is to talk to the rest of the group before you make unilateral decisions because the process is *coordinated*. It’s right there in the name Don’t agree to that? Don’t be in one

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Unconscionable to be on “X” at this point. Just a cesspit. Except for banking; I do my banking there & don’t see a problem.

What has happened to Helen Haines today is awful. She’s a personal hero and champion of her electorate. Simply one of the kindest and smartest MPs. No one doing their job engaging with their constituents in public should have to face violence.

We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them. Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.

#auspol What kind of politician won't vote to end the depraved & dangerous policy of handcuffing women to metal bars while they are labouring, giving birth and trying to hold their baby? May your pointless cruelty corrode your mental health & haunt you always. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

We are taking our old washer to the scrap yard and Mr. Arlo was like: “Maybe I should have one of the guys from work come help me get it up the stairs. It’s probably too heavy for you.” First of all sir, fuck you. I’m tough as hell. Second of all, it was in fact too heavy 😭😭

Labor teamed up with the Coalition to block Lidia Thorpe’s bill banning shackling during childbirth. What the fuck is wrong with you if you can’t support even that? Prison does not strip women of their humanity. No woman should give birth in chains. No exceptions.
