I would dearly love a long, extendable stick with a stuffed boxing glove on the end, or a rubber hand that I could use in coffee shops to slap people who insist on amplifying whatever loud crap is on their mobile phones or just yelling their convo on speaker as if we all need to join in too

Just a reminder the media org that has been trumpeting that it cares about kids and their futures and wants social media banned is the same that worldwide has been running climate change disinformation and lies, ensuring the kids will live in a worse world
The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record.

Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997?

That is more than 0.5C ago.

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.

This issue is easily fixed … remove subsidies on urban tanks!

Here’s a philosophical question from someone who drives on the M1 between Brisbane & the Gold Coast every day:

Does owning a Ford Ranger turn you into an arsehole, or are arseholes the only people who buy them?
