Artist trading cards - Wikipedia

In the age of AI images, maybe artist trading cards should make a comeback.

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she β€œcleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.

This video is lowballing it.

Hey, we came first at trivia, third consecutive win since last Monday. How is it that I can consistently win stuff at trivia nights but nobody will hire me for fucking anything

I concur with the opinions of some others: I think there is a decent chance Trump will use a nuclear weapon in this war simply because he wants to. I don't know what happens then

I wonder how the creator of those Biden "I did that!" stickers people used to put on fuel pumps is doing.

Damn I would have made it to the 1% question on this episode. I would have used my pass though.

STOLEN BIKE
I will find you! I will find you and I will get my bike back from you.
It was so expensive. I can't believe I bought such an expensive bike. I was afraid to even touch it! I just looked at it. My kids made me ride it and I said I would ride it one time. Now they say "let it go" but I just lay there at night. / picture you riding away, your long hair blowing back behind you. The moon framing your gentle features, like a wild horse. I hate you. You are so beautiful. I hate how free and wild and majestic you are. How could I ever forgive you?
TAKE ME WITH YOU

When Territory & Federal govts nominate, approve & install a racist, bigoted, misogynistic, homophobic, chauvinistic NT Administrator, what message do you imagine is being conveyed/reinforced to the community❓️

Video on Facebook of our performance tonight. I'm sure we've never sung this song so fast before, I think we all wanted to get it over with because it was insanely hot there. I was literally dripping with sweat.

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? β€œI’m sorry sir”.

ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.

Renee Good’s last words? β€œIt’s ok I’m not mad”.

Alex Pretti’s last words? β€œAre you ok?”

These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.

Abolish ICE

Average Facebook experience:

- See some health claim that seems dubious or missing context

- Google to see the truth

- Return to Facebook tab/app to comment findings

- Facebook refreshes and the post disappears

Australians on US sub sat out operation to sink Iranian ship, PM says The prime minister has confirmed three Royal Australian Navy personnel were on board a US submarine that sank an Iranian warship earlier this week.

lalalala we were off duty

"I think the most likely scenario is once the decision had been made by the skipper of that sub to attack the target, they would have recused themselves from any operational role,"

"Retreated to their cabins until such time as the tactical operation was over."

Somewhere in Australia, a fully grown adult has re-heard The Ning Nang Nong and gone, β€œHang on… was Spike Milligan absolutely cooked when he wrote this?”

Because let’s be honest.

β€œIn the Ning Nang Nong where the cows go bong” already sounds like the opening line to a bloke explaining what happened after one suspicious brownie at a mate’s house.

Then it just gets worse.

The monkeys all say β€œBOO”, the trees go β€œping”, the tea pots jibber jabber joo, and everyone’s just standing around acting like this is a perfectly normal afternoon. That’s not a nursery rhyme. That’s the exact point of the night where someone says, β€œNah nah, listen… can you guys hear colours or is that just me?”

To be clear, it’s obviously a nonsense poem for kids. That’s the actual explanation.

But unfortunately for everyone involved, it also accidentally reads like the inner thoughts of someone who has ascended beyond normal human consciousness after three cones and half a packet of Shapes.

No plot.
No rules.
Just random sounds, confusion, and vibes.

This Australian nostalgia Facebook page always has blurbs that are quite blatant chatGPT drivel. It always has the same format and whenever I clock chatGPT text it triggers my disgust reaction

I discovered the second one is in response to the first, which makes it marginally less weird, but the tag about "woke people" is dumb as shit

Marsupials previously thought extinct for millennia discovered in New Guinea The chances of finding one mammal species thought to be lost was β€˜almost zero’ and finding two is β€˜unprecedented’, biologist Tim Flannery says Researchers led by the Australian scientist Tim Flannery have made a once-in-a-lifetime discovery: that two charismatic marsupial species that had been thought extinct for 6,000 years are alive in rainforest in remote West Papua. The pair are rare examples of β€œLazarus taxa” – species that disappeared from fossil records in the distant past that are later found to have survived. Continue reading...

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.
