Gov said social media ban would only affect 16 yr olds. But most Aussies are being asked to perform age verification and some platforms have also restricted the comms of 16-18 year olds. The social media ban has a chilling censorious affect beyond the ban and imposes a blanket of mass surveillance

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Got given this today. Always wondered why it's so essential that one must *believe* in Jesus, in order to get to heaven. I mean, you could "not believe in fire", but you'd still get burnt if you put your hand in it.

Discovered: The real Reform headquarters. Who knew.
An enormous wall of trash about 500 feet in length and up to four stories tall was recently discovered near a highway in the English countryside, leading to a national outcry across Britain.
A Colossal, Hidden Pile of Trash Ignites Outcry in Britain

It is easy to miss the cloud reflections in the puddles
when the drones are perching on the telephone wires
and boats are exploding off the coast of Venezuela.

It’s easy not to notice the flirtatiousness of the wind
when there is black smoke over Palestine
and everything’s coated in oil.

This is my childhood teddy bear, Bear! I am a huge fan of the Ghibli films and Totoro is my favorite, so of course I had to paint Bear hanging with Totoro in the rain! This was a nice challenge to see if I could create something from imagination.
