EVERY SINGLE PART of a lily is toxic!
Petals, leaves, pollen, the water in the vase.
You can celebrate someone other ways besides killing their cat.
I worked as a vet tech for 10 years. Let me assure you, you don't want to see your cat go through this nightmare.
I think you are probably thinking of Sir Humphrey concluding John Halstead was “one of us.”
Possibly, the thinking would be that Ms Campbell thought the result would find such favour with Minister Morrison as to lead to her advancement. But quite apart from the speculation inherent in that kind of reasoning, it is objectively a most unlikely proposition that an already very senior, career public servant with a long and unblemished record of achievement and recognition in both the APS and ADF would so much desire further advancement as to premeditatedly commit the serious criminal offence of deceiving ERC
NACC concludes that Kathryn Campbell didn't lie because she had no motive to
They say she had no motive because she was already successful, & wouldn't risk lying for further career advancement. I love it when people with no understanding of greed or hubris run corruption investigations
I say this every year, but:
The uni students I'm teaching are thoughtful, intelligent, will make everything they encounter better.
With a new addition for 2026:
They deeply hate AI.
TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsk... • 1d • Joined May '23 Birth of a Nation is a misunderstood film, IMO, depiction is not endorsement, and DW Griffith's contributions to cinematography shouldn't be overshadowed by the fact that some people decided to interpret his film as supporting controversial political agendas.

friends, I have brought you a gift
The other one you are thinking of is probably Threads, which was basically the British equivalent.
Glad they keep getting all these draft concessions!
Thanks for the reply. Totally get it, must be a lot of work. Will miss it though, there’s not another one I’ve found with such a good game by game focus. Thanks for your work on it over the years.
Well said Rohan.
BTW is the Footyology podcast back this year? I’m not seeing a preview for this week in my feed yet and getting worried!
Cometti was so good. The only caller, I think, who managed to be genuinely funny without it fucking up his call.
Ridiculous decision. Jason Bennett is easily one of the best AFL commentators & has been for a long time. Accurate, incisive, good judge of when to amp it up or back off. Yet Seven have always kept him in the shadows. Not sure what the rationale is but it's a really bad move.
Yep, 100%. Same tonight, they disappear every time we go to a slightly different angle. Just another type of enshittification, making the product worse to wring out a few measly bucks.
I don’t love it when they actually paint them in the ground, but… okay. But this really bugs me as it basically falsifies the record of what is happening.
Shot of the AFL state of origin. Ads for AAMI and the event itself have been superimposed, made to look as if they are painted on the turf.

I found the 50 most cathartic seconds of that Angela Collier video I linked earlier. Imagine of we could somehow get this to autoplay for everyone the next time they opened LinkedIn. Full video here: youtu.be/7pqF90rstZQ
Angela Collier is so good on AI. Revel in the righteous anger. Her discussion of the AI users proudly talking about how much they love it especially hit home for me. youtu.be/7pqF90rstZQ?...

News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we
have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.
We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

Probably will come across as a contrarian choice, but I think I might say Every Sperm is Sacred. I respect the mix of satire, absurdity, and genuine production value.

There’s also the fact that I feel like we are perpetually living in a Gaston backstory at this point.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.
Every new word in this sentence is worse than the last
slop machines “know” exactly nothing, a simple web search would be a better strategy, slop users <will> cause cultural harm, and people with sufficient knowledge are required to check and correct the slop, again demonstrating slop to be a huge drain on productivity.

Headshot of a woman applying lipstick. It has been used to illustrate a story with the headline “APPARENTLY YOUR PERFECT LIPSTICK SHADE IS ACTUALLY THE COLOUR OF YOUR NIPPLES.”
The worst version of this I have seen in this poor woman whose innocent headshot got made really weird.
