on a Melbourne tram the other day and a lady in a wheelchair got stuck trying to get on despite the “accessible” platform and low floor vehicle because the platform wasn’t actually level
could there perhaps be some level crossing removal level enthusiasm for fixing these issues?

I don’t post here often but this was too personal to share on twitter
On the Thursday before last I lost one of my lovely ladies, Flash (the one on the left) passed away early that morning from injuries sustained in an accident. I have to find a new friend for Speckle but it’s so hard to move on.

I don’t quite know how to put it succinctly, but Frank Miller’s Holy Terror is kind of the rosetta stone to understanding the way the American conservative brain works in the current moment (right down the Israel stuff as well)

had a surreal experience where a guy I was working with started talking about how bad Madame Web was but then proceeded to blame it on how “woke” the movie was, I asked him what “woke” meant and within five minutes he was telling me how the Rothschilds were related to Karl Marx

I hope future historians have a good little chuckle about how our civilisation sold off nationalised industry to the private sector and destroyed communism the moment before climate change became consensus reality and there was a political mandate to do something about it

Liberals, of course, seizing the opportunity of trump's announced completion of the Biden/Harris genocide, by responding with undiluted smugness and disregard for all the human suffering they've celebrated until now. I have nothing but complete and utter contempt for these odious scumbags.

So yeah, what Trump said about Gaza is not good but don’t forget that a modern advanced military force just spent more than a year trying to take over Gaza and failed miserably so idk if what he’s proposed is even possible with the strength of Hamas’s resistance

I think people are right when they criticise Bluesky for being a bit too sanitised (atm anyway), the recently added ability to selectively remove your posts from quotes is kind of emblematic of the problem

Someday a Lifetime movie will be made about Cheryl Hines and it’ll go “I knew him as a Kennedy, an environmentalist, a man who decapitated a whale, a man riddled with worms who cheated on every woman he’s ever been with while saying he’s the worm man, but beyond all that? …there was a dark secret”

there are 525,000 likes on this post where OP deludes themselves into thinking the analysts were predicting a Harris win (the analysts said it was 50/50) and then they go on to imply that they believe the election was stolen from Harris
