Maybe the AI is smarter than we think. It nailed the fact that Trump is such a dumbass that he would fuck up the mask.

There is merit in countering the bots and trolls. Austin Archer (@yourpalaustin.bsky.social) sums it up well here.

TLDR version: Saying "don't argue with bots" is saying the info should be allowed to reach the target. It's not about the bot. It's about the reader.

When you are done organising your protest boards for tomorrow, and if you have a couple of dollars leftover, consider throwing them to Kyle's surgery fund.

Never thought I’d be posting this, but here we are.
I need emergency dental surgery—a tooth implant that’s not covered by insurance. The damage stems from an accident I had back in high school, and after years of managing the situation, it’s finally caught up with me.

The best part of this administration is that they say the quiet bit out loud. It's easy to predict an enemy when they literally do and say the worst thing possible in every scenario.

Whatever takes the focus off you banning Senator David Pocock from the Parliament Sport Club because he dared question why it was giving gambling sponsors special access to Parliament members.

For shame Albo.. For shame.

Mine is working, but it's unnaturally slow. Also, the homepage has been fucked for so long that I don't know what to look for to tell if it's recently broken.

We'll have to wait for an update on this when Vaush accidentally leaks his anime horse porn folder again.

I'm not even that big into fashion or sowing, but it looks like he's cosplaying as a SecDef and is about to lose some serious points with the fabrics judge.

A war of attrition mostly benefits the defender, unless the attacker is much much larger, like Russia.

Russia is very famous for using the 'war of attrition' tactics by just sending wave after wave of people. The reason why it's not working this time is that it's an 1800s tactic on a 2025 field.

Why's that albo? Do they like it you corrupt your position with gambling companies and fire anyone who calls that out?

I can see a minor correction needed on this list. Riyadh, (Saudia Arabia) should be in #1 spot as it costs an arm and a leg there..

Also, I can see how the Tankie label would fit with you calling them It's/It. That's the kind of dehumanising rhetoric is what Russia uses on it's enemies.

I get that you're passionate about this (rightfully so), but you gotta keep your nose clean while you do it and not resort to tankie tactics.
