The hateful or nihilistic people that voted for Trump are lost to the left and you will not win them over by appealing to them. Maybe the lesson is to appeal more to the people who WANT the policies that Democrats supposedly already have

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Mutuals, any recommendations or good starter packs for #cricket on bluesky? The ABC and the guardian have great coverage, but The Athletic is so weighted towards England that it's not great. Insta of all places is awesome, and I've very much enjoyed it during The Ashes, but looking for it here. ^^

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

"Neighbourhood character" is a hell of a euphemism for racism.
Gold Coast councillors reject plans for more than 100 affordable housing units over concerns about car parks and neighbourhood character, despite nearby light rail and a growing need for social housing.
