I've been enjoying Cocteau Twins' music for about 20 years and only just realised they're not speaking Scots Gaelic 😅 almost every song is glossolalia ("speaking tongues") and somehow I didn't figure it out, LOL.

Tropical Cyclone #Alfred will bring damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and hazardous surf conditions to southeast Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺🌀 Flash flooding, storm surge, and power outages are likely as the cyclone nears the coast. Landfall is expected near Brisbane late Thursday or early Friday.

If you, or anyone you know, likes birdwatching and struggles with poor mental health. I’d love to send an e-copy of Bird Therapy (pdf) to read for free. It can be helpful to know you’re not alone. Please message me if you do and also consider sharing this post. #naturewriting #birdtherapy #booksky

on this week's aftermath hours, the industry's obsession with fewer, bigger games and franchises – as exemplified by WB's post-wonder woman pivot – is a dead end aftermath.site/aftermath-ho...

The Trump-Vance State Department just approved $3.01 billion in arms & equipment sales to Israel $2.04 billion in bombs $675.7 million in bombs & weapon guidance kits $295 million in bulldozers Administration said "an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale," waiving congressional review

Had a great time at @knotfestofficial.bsky.social Melbourne yesterday. I met cool people, saw amazing bands & nobody gave two shits seeing a trans guy in just a binder. Shout out to Alex (Slaughter to Prevail) and Corey (Slipknot) for both pausing their sets to help people get out of the mosh pit.

Watching this set now and the vocals are incredible 🤩

Australian authorities aren't learning the tragic lessons of their counterparts in the UK: the AFP grooming and further radicalising children or police prosecuting radicalised children instead of intervening...a similar tragedy here is just waiting to happen. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The National Weather Service is THE ONLY source of weather data in the US. Every weather app, local broadcaster, and weather forecast map is based on NWS data from NOAA. This is a ridiculously stupid own goal for the US that will disrupt all kinds of social and economic activity, and endanger lives.

Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

there really ought to be more discussion about the fact that virtually every promise (or denial) trump made during the campaign was a total lie

This is an astonishing story. Trump's personal lawyers, now in government, are trying to find any prosecutor take on a case to stop payment of $20 billion in funds by claiming there is fraud. The fact that career prosecutors are resigning rather than do so tells you how weak the case is.

After 33 years of research I have concluded Steve Job's "Reality Distortion Field" could also just have been called "being a straight white man" but other white people didn't have those words yet

Banging on this drum yet again, both men and women up to age 45 are eligible for this vaccine (and I’ve *heard* you can pay out of pocket if you are out of eligibility) and the amount of cancers it prevents: This is the cancer moonshot you heard about.

I took a look at the curious array of third party groups springing up ahead of the election--focused on the Greens, Teals & Labor. One is linked to a group that's hosting a volunteer event with Advance tonight. Do get in touch if you spot more as they emerge... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Genuine question: is there a social script for how to interact on Bluesky? I see people say things like "I hate reply guys". Don't people want replies? Or just likes/shares? Atm, I browse topics I'm interested in & try to interact positively with people's posts, but is that a faux pas? #ADHD #ND

"If one person says it’s raining and another insists it’s sunny, the media’s job isn’t to give them equal airtime—it’s to check the facts and tell us what’s actually happening." Source Unknown, but I liked the sentiment so I wanted to share.

We were talking about Sisyphus and kid made a cis / cisgenderphus joke and y’all are welcome to take this in whatever directions would be most entertaining

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

The only person to face consequences at the Tele over the Cairo restaurant thing is the person who allegedly leaked to Crikey 🙃 www.theguardian.com/media/commen...

a glory hole, but you look through it to watch the 1989 civil war film Glory (starring Matthew Broderick and Denzel Washington)

I’m in agreement with Dave Portnoy and Ron DeSantis? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills

BREAKING The SEC has just halted its fraud prosecution of Justin Sun, a Chinese national who has put more than $50 million in Trump's pocket since November through the purchase of crypto tokens from a Trump-backed company, World Liberty Financial.

The federal government's investment fund says it is "comfortable" with the risks of investing $32 million investment into harrison.ai, which trained its AI model on 100,000s of Australians chest x-rays without the patient's knowledge. www.crikey.com.au/20...
