me when i cant comprehend that different continents have different animals
the rest of the paragraph that was cut out in that screenshot literally explains the reasons behind the easter bilby and bluntly theyre minimising the impact that wild rabbits have had as an introduced species in our ecosystem.
the easter bibly was an ingenious campaign that builds in social awareness and change to an ongoing annual tradition without detracting from what that tradition represents. the choice behind it was intentional
saying Australians “don’t like bunnies” because of ecological damage is like saying Americans “don’t like rabies” because of the health risks. They’re a major problem and the Easter Bilby rules.
Embarrassing to have worked at an Outback Steakhouse as long as me and not know this.
This response is absolutely sending me
Outback Steakhouse is as representative of Australian culture and cuisine as Taco Bell is representative of Mexican culture and cuisine. Outback Steakhouse doesn’t even have any bush tucker or unique things like balmain bugs why would working there and not knowing jackshit about Australia be “embarrassing”
people be normal about Australia challenge (impossible)
TIL about "vegetative electron microscopy" - a nonsense term that AI scraped together from a two column article from 1959 that is now widely featured in AI slop scientific papers - retractionwatch.com/2025/02/10/v... (via @neverpo.st)
It’s not complex. People can see with their eyes. He’s repellent to voters due to a toxic combination of exhausting amounts of cringe (see cheese head hat), desperate thirstiness (that fatal “hey, look at me mommy” vibe) and irritating arrogance (he’s not even from this school)
I have never once used the interjection "ough" (I will either say "oh" or "ow" or "ugh" or "oof" etc), all of which are different with more knowable intent), and never used to see anyone else use it, yet I see other people writing it more and more.
I didn't even think it was a real word until today
I’m gonna make it simple since it seems a lot of the liberals on this site right now are having trouble with this. It was illegal to protect Anne Frank and it was legally required to turn her in to the Nazis.
If your reliance on the law dictates your morals you have already lost to the fascists.
i am not mad at anyone here for making this point, it's a good point, but please consider checking the comments to see if anyone has already made that point before replying
i dislike accusations of luddism thrown at AI critics because i clearly like technology a lot! i use ~4 different computers regularly, i adore my 3D printer, i don't even brew coffee without involving a microprocessor. but all those technologies have proven themselves useful or at least entertaining
JFC. Look, a "majority of voters" didn't support interracial marriage or civil rights or women voting etc. This idea that human & civil rights are based on what every dumbfuck bigot does or doesn't agree with is TOXIC. We're toast as a species if we give in on this.
This is such a not real issue it drives me insane. Why can't any democrats just stand up and say "Who fucking cares? Is that trans athlete the reason your wages haven't gone up in 20 years? Do you genital-obsessed weirdos realize that the planet is on fire? Can we talk about real problems please?"
Always fucking whining. Just an endless pity party by a man who’s been handed everything in life. Constantly playing the victim about anyone who makes fun of him while waving a toy chainsaw as he laughs about firing people. (hands on hips) “People are so mean!” Loser behavior.
Musk: I mean, have you Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price.. What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like who derives joy from that?
Presumably the donor died in a way where rabies was not suspected (sometimes the incubation period is months/years/DECADES: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...)
My understanding is the only way to test for rabies is to look in the brain, and no way would that be routine for human cadavers
Scoop from @jewishcurrents.bsky.social: The ADL is dropping its anti-bias training, and also "deleted lesson plans on topics such as transgender identity, white privilege, school integration, and the impact of boarding schools on Native Americans."
Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
They are trying to make it so that people they don't like (citizens who can't provide specific documents, like a passport [that now many trans people can't get]) can't vote.
The President does not have the constitutional or statutory authority to dictate the content of voter registration forms. This EO is an incredibly dangerous power grab. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
at minimum, an opposition party should be able to get through a speech without saying "also we love our opponents and agree with them on almost everything"
That JB Pritzker sounds relevatory reflects how far a whole generation of Democratic politicians strayed from the absolute basics of electoral politics: say what you mean, act like you sincerely like your constituents, and don't constantly bring up how much you like and agree with your opponents.
Consistent pattern with conspiracy theories these days:
1. Conservative media say X.
2. Scientists say probably not X.
3. Liberals say nothing.
4. Majority of public weakly believes X, because it’s the only viewpoint they repeatedly hear from media.
5. Conservatives claim X is “suppressed”.
Yes! Scientists have always stressed that that we don't know anything for sure and should investigate all possibilities. The lab leak has been debated in national media endlessly and is now endorsed by the majority of the public. It's objectively not suppressed!

This is one of the biggest threats to Americans' personal data in decades. If you're a 23andMe customer, I strongly urge you to delete your data to protect it from whoever the new buyer might be. Here’s how:

French scientist denied entry to attend US conference and accused of phone messages to his friends "that reflect hatred toward Trump and can be described as terrorism."

Living in America’s always been a trade off. Like “yeah X sucks there but it’s the best place in the world for Y” and they’re really trying their damnedest to remove Y from the equation.

It's weird how cities sound different. For instance, drivers in San Francisco seem to rev their car engines much more, but honk their car horns much less, than drivers in New York City.
