At what point do we stop being surprised that it’s the charismatic and quirky celebs who are guilty of sexual offences and, instead, start to see these features as an indicator of possible risk?

Everyone knew about Russell Brand. Everyone knew about Diddy, R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

If Gillard and Ardern are "has-beens" then why do you and The Oz still ask John Howard his opinion on anything?

It’s people trying to convince themselves that destroying the environment and stealing everyone’s information is somehow worth it.

Seeing so many tweets on using AI agents to book flights, order doordash, book reservations, etc. Genuinely curious, what is the use case in these instances. You’re saving like a minute at most going this route, and it’s not like these actions were tedious in the first place

People who have done bad things deserve to feel and should feel bad.

He is not sobbing for what he did to his wife and encouraged other people to do to his wife. He is not sobbing because he drugged and raped a woman repeatedly over 20 years. He's not sobbing because he treated a woman as an object for the gratification of his own sick fantasies. He's sobbing because he has to face consequences. So does she. Every single day. But he's not sobbing about that.

it’s crazy how ‘not taking a side’ almost always means siding with evil but not wanting to be criticised for it

Arguing with a misogynist feels a lot like arguing with a racist… it’s like you think you’re having a disagreement about one issue, then realize you’re actually arguing against an entire worldview that depends on seeing another group of people as inherently beneath them 😭

One of those morning skies that kept getting better by the minute.
Blue and purple clouds sweep diagonally above a glowing orange horizon, with distant mountain ridges and a low layer of fog below. Left panel of a four-part mountain panorama. The scene feels calm and expansive.

Debería ser obligatorio que cada concejal de urbanismo y movilidad recorriera unos cuantos kilómetros de su ciudad empujando un carro de la compra, una silla de ruedas o un carrito de bebé.

Every "revolutionary" business idea in the last decade is just: Take something that already exists, remove worker protections, add an app, and call it "disruption." Uber didn't invent taxis. Airbnb didn't invent rentals. They just invented ways to avoid regulations and liability.

Correct: Trump, Farage, Hanson. The middle and lower Classes are so despondent they will vote for anyone who blows them a kiss.
