Am I wrong or is malaria the single biggest cause of long term illness and poverty in great big chunks of the world?
Am I remembering that wrong somehow?
Could it be ANY MORE CLEAR that keeping people in poverty, globally, is the plan.
Aren't we all Baby Gang Gang, aren't we all, truly, just meatballs in a sack? Yes.
Apparently James Charles is in Australia. Given the serious allegations - and evidence - of him being a predator, @tonyburkemp.bsky.social would be well served to consider revoking his visa.
There is evidence of a 14 year old being pestered for intimate images, and being sent intimate images.
I remember when measles exposure sites in Australia were such a big deal that they were reported in the evening news and morning news broadcasts.
The anti-vax movement being louder doesn't equal subacute sclerosing panencephalitis being less deadly. Measles complications are real.
The same Sidney Powell who is currently on probation?
I have mixed feelings about that. The me who loves drama is all for it.
The me who wants SOME stability, isn't on board.
Juxtapose this image of K. Charles allowing Zelensky to take a step ahead, Zelensky showing full awareness of the situation and symbolism of the moment, with D. Trump wandering aimlessly in the direction of the nearest exit that isn't behind him.
Don't you dare tell me what to do! I need to be compelled to comply with posters, social pressure, and media control!
Oh... wait... Sorry. I forgot what social media was for a hot second.
"It's 41⁰ at 2pm in October" should be a HEADLINE everywhere on the East coast.
It. Is. OCTOBER. We should be growing SNOW PEAS.
Sydney is also at least 5 hours travel away for me. If you showed up for the Tamworth Country Music Festival I'd give you a pie and a fist bump as well.
I can ignore the OED. The MD (Macquarie Dictionary) is the one that matters (legally) to me.
I also don't have a passport and can't travel out of Australia, but that's beside the point.
I'll give you (*checks pockets*) $12 and a copy of your own book that I drew dicks in to do a show in Sydney.
Ooooh, new book for my reading list, thank you!
A big, fluffy white dog, lying comfortably and unrepentantly on a freshly made bed, with brand new dinosaur bed sheets.
Old mate reckons brand new bed sheets and quilt cover aren't ours unless there's dog hair on them.
I guess it's true. He looks sincere (about being the first one on the new sheets).
I've started telling people to "just own it (their racism)" when they say something racist because "it's the only way we'll have an honest discussion about (whatever topic)".
Strangely, very few people want to 'own it', despite their actions.
Are you fricking serious? FIRST you claim LOTR is some kind of anti-fascist kitbook, and NOW you're claiming it's a feminist kitbook?
Pick a fucking lane and stop eating paint chips.
What a fucking moron.
Holy wow. The lift = incredible.
Without straps??? Jars probably open themselves when they see her coming, out of fear. Her grip strength is just out of this world
Lots of places have tried putting bounties on rats.
Turns out, it's a lot easier to breed rats than to catch them.
You really need to look up the words "obsessed" and "stalker".
Things I know about you are:
1. You love the smell of your own shit
2. You use other people's posts as a platform for your weird fetishes
3. It takes you multiple days to think of come-backs.
4. You need a dictionary.
As a chronic pessimist, I disagree.
It's bad, it's really bad, water is still free at bubblers (water fountains for the US crowd) so that's better than I expected.
It took you 5 whole days to think of that response?
LOL.
And you're asking me to leave you out of something you inserted yourself into? BITCH, PLEASE.
How dare you bribe me with books.
It works.
You posted your super weird Disney-fetish video on *someone else's post* about an actual illusionist, and you think you aren't insufferable??
Bitch please. It was exhausting watching the first 2 seconds of your video.
You. Are. Not. The. Protagonist.
Disney socks, Disney hat, Disney satchel... tiny weird Jesus figurine. 400% insufferable.
And Lake Placid.
It's the land sharks and sand limpets for me. I also have a fondness for the Eastern Burrowing Quokka.
I mean... gave you seen our freshies?
Fresh water crocodiles are pretty damn cute. Waaaay cuter than salties, and salties are super cute compared to alligators. Alligators have that "I'll call a scallop a potato cake" vibe, and that's just... not cute.
I found out (because of covid) that I'm a vaccine non-responder. Got all the shots as a kid, but no one knew they didn't take until I was nearly 40.
It feels very weird knowing, with absolute certainty, that I am alive because other people got their kids vaccinated.
The USA effectively declared a trade war against flightless Australian birds.
Last time a government went to war against flightless birds, the government lost.
@stephaniekelton.bsky.social How are you doing? Is now an appropriate time for a quick welfare check? Or was that (checks notes....) 5 tariff announcements ago?
Yeah. "Subsidised meals" isn't free meals. That is 100% a company town situation. Dressed up debt slavery where the workers are reliant on the company for everything from housing to drinking water, communication, transport, and healthcare.
Why are BYD cheap? Slaves. It's slaves.
If this were normal fluctuations, sure. Even if this were a bubble burst, sure.
But this particular volatility doesn't have an end, and multiple stocks have a non-zero chance of going to zero. Dollar cost averaging only works when there's a real chance of recovery equal to or better than the crash
