My hot take is that the way X-Men has historically depicted Australia in general and Indigenous Australian characters in particular is cringy AF and I am praying for some kind of course correction.
Like, Bishop is canonically Indigenous. They've never, to my knowledge, even named his Nation.
Incredible footage, honestly

A farm worker in a lemon orchard where you could see the buckets of lemons she's harvesting
"Alicia" shared this pic from Kern County. "The lemon orchard is in bad shape, with no lemons on the trees. They still only pay us $35 per 900 lb box for juice lemons. It takes us 3-4 hours to pick that box. It's wrong. We should at least be guaranteed minimum wage." #WeFeedYou
TFW you're so tired it hurts, but also actually settling down to attempt to sleep is apparently Absolutely Not? #WhyAmILikeThis ???

I think it’s cool that some people focus on curing disease and some people focus on understanding what animals are up to and some people think about our place in the universe and how things came to be the way they are. People are driven by curiosity and I promise you you don’t want it any other way
New, at Can We Still Govern?: Christian Gläßel and
@ascharpf.bsky.social have studied the formation of secret police in other countries. They explain the parallels with Trump's immigration enforcement.
The key factor is career incentives not ideology. 🧵

'St. Paddy's Day' is usually preferred over 'St. Patty's Day.'
'Paddy' is the shortened form of the original Irish spelling of 'Patrick,' which is 'Pádraig.'
'Patty' is the shortened form of 'Patricia.'
I'm sure people like this think they are anti-Zionists, but by saying that Jews around the world are valid targets of someone whose grievances are with the government of Israel, they are fully reinforcing the logic of the furthest right-wing Zionists.
a sketch of a smartphone with tactile buttons for home/window/back, headphone jack, no AI BS, sim card thingy you can open with your nail, camera that doesn't cover the damn screen, and a 5 inch/127mm screen which is a reasonable size
I wouldn't say I'm massively into phones or anything but I sketched this out of frustration bc why are there no modern phones with these features, it would be so perfect and I'm mad the only ones are old and slow
lol
SHIVERS - In a little alley next to Boogie street, a man in stained overalls steps out of a workshop for a cigarette. His hands are bruised and soaked with motor oil and dirt. He breathes smoke out of his nostrils and closes his eyes. The next five minutes are his and his alone.
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

As I have said repeatedly, the only move the anti-trans side has is pretending that they've found a scandal, then describe the way medicine (or medical research) works in every other field but trans care in breathless, scandalized tones.

Something I think people forget (and never learned) is how dependent we are on cheap energy. I don't mean for easy heating and cooling, or transport, although that too. I am talking about food production.

A circular diagram that shows Ten Dimensions of Belonging: Being Loved, Being Present, Being Invited, Being Welcomed, Being Known, Being Accepted, Being Supported, Being Heard, Being Befriended, Being Needed.
A helpful description of Belonging was shared with me recently. It really hit home. It’s not just being in physical proximity to others. It is being accepted, respected, valued - and missed when you’re gone.
Australia has no plan for emergencies.

Oh god, someone was reblogging me (and presumably everyone) like that a while back. It felt lightly, indescribably almost violating? Deeply icky, at least!
screenshot of press release from four nations with their logos: Tla’amin Nation; Homalco Nation; K'ómoks Nation; Klahoose Nation. March 11, 2026 Chiefs from four First Nations communities are urging the public to please approach Aaron Gunn with no caution whatsoever. He is completely harmless, though momentarily unsettled by the alarming possibility that someone might acknowledge the land before a meeting. Yesterday on social media, the MP appeared to crash out and demand to speak to the manager of land acknowledgements, a position that observers confirm does not exist. Chiefs whose territories make up the riding had two words for the MP - Chillax, Bud. Land acknowledgements have never seized private property, cancelled a mortgage, repossessed a pickup truck, or altered a single title deed anywhere in Canada. They are simply people recognizing the history of the place where they are standing. No one is going anywhere. Canada will survive the brief moment of honesty. Until then, Chiefs across the region continue to reassure the public that land acknowledgements have not, to date, resulted in any land back. Hegus John Hackett, Tla’amin Nation Chief Darren Blaney, Homalco Nation Chief Nicole Rempel, K'ómoks Nation Chief Kevin Peacey, Klahoose Nation

Biggest argument I ever had with an editor is when they told me they were just running my stuff through Grammarly.
Single panel editorial cartoon. New Nationals leader Canavan is walking with Sen McKenzie as he says, “We just need to sell more everything Australia”, she replies, “More bushfires, floods, droughts, severe temperatures, weather events, rising food costs and general climate instability? Sure, do you think they’ll buy it?” He replies, “Heh, yep, and more jokes”. In the background is a group of shops - gaslight costumes, make australia great again, one nation salon and the Golden Arches over trump. Canavan is wearing a tradie high-vis shirt which has written on it ‘made in Australia from local an imported ingredients, his face and hands have coal dust on them. McKenzie is holding a bottle of bright orange hair dye labelled Pauline’s Hair Dye.

I'm more than disappointed. I'm absolutely livid.
I'm so sick of no one in high places ever being made responsible for their atrocities. I don't know why we're not storming the castle with torches and pitchforks, actually.

AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?
Which is why, @nytimes.com, learning that a piece of writing is AI changes how people feel about it, in the same way that most people are repulsed by learning a once-favoured artist is a rapist: because context is inherent to interpreting art, and the sole context of genAI is profound contempt.
