CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@dgar that's fantastic!

it amuses me, quite a lot, how comparatively often it happens when some peep requests to Follow me, so i check out their profile & posting history, & if i thus form a view they might not be entirely monstrous 🫢️ i approve them. then, some days go by, & i sometimes see some of said peeps in various timelines... i then notice they've hitherto stopped Following me. what goes thru the minds of these peeps? don't they check out my profile & posts prior to requesting the Follow, to avoid nasty surprises later? how can they just go in blind, & only afterwards then realise just wot a mega loony whingeing weirdarse i be? 🤯️🤪️‍️️️

any other users getting LOTS of this silliness?

it's been randomly but frequently happening for many days, maybe weeks? so far i have discerned no site pattern. given the recent update, the duration of this means it's been in 150 as well as still in 151.

how will our media cover this?

they will, ofc, rhetorically tar n feather all who criticise, & throw about that egregiously misused descriptor

Guardian Essential poll: only a quarter of Australians approve of US-Israel war on Iran

ergo, a quarter of Australians are fuckheads!

Guardian Essential poll: only a quarter of Australians approve of US-Israel war on Iran

Poll also finds Australians keener for government to forge closer ties with middle powers such as Canada and Japan

sadly though, we already know it's much worse, with well over half of strayans being fuckheads, coz... The Voice...

I haven't seen what she's said, but let me say I support what it is she said

@luciedigitalni yeppo

complete, utter bullshit

yet our weaker than piss guvmunts keep folding like cheap deckchairs every time

or, rather than folding, are they in fact merely securing their post-pollytics nice little earners...

otoh, by comparison, the last time a tofu or lentils ship ran aground was over 7000 years ago...

yeah well, despite all the critics hating it, tonight's streaming fare was the 1983 #Flashdance, & i quite enjoyed it ... i mean, sometimes just chilling out with an undemanding cheese-fest is just what the doctor ordered.

bloody hell, 1983, my last year of Uni, the year before i met the woman who 20 years later would break my heart by rejecting my whispered confused secret, sigh.

in my seemingly unlimited naivety, til reading the wikipedia entry after the film, i had thought JB did most of the dancing herself. oh well.

now i feel like tracking down #TheLWord again...

@abstractcode seems almost unconstitutional

@sinjut i demand answers as to why i recognise nobody on the panel [says whiny nswer, heehee]

Just a moment...

Local history teacher Clara Pond has begun an existential crisis after realising her entire life is a lie and learning history clearly does sweet fuck all to stop people from doing it over and over again.

This comes after the teacher scrolled the news to see the creation of multiple potential ‘forever wars’ despite how badly those historically have gone and there already being other wars like in Ukraine, once wiped out diseases making a comeback, world economies hoping they can power through a fuel crisis by straining working class people more and the multiple ongoing genocides and humanitarian crises in Palestine, Congo, Myanmar and Sudan.

“What’s the fucking point,” she said while drafting up a lesson on violent imperialism and colonisation, “hey kids here is how to learn not to let evil people ruin the world and cause nonstop harm. By the way this shit is still happening.”

“Fuck even Disney wont learn to stop pumping out those live action remakes no one likes.”

@ada ah now look, this is exciting news for me, coz now a see a #CunningPlan for a good solution. if you could pls toot me on the hour each hour, telling me it ain't saturday you dopey dropbear, each day that in fact ain't saturday, i feel quite confident i can prevail over this confusion . to sweeten the deal, if you call before midnight, there's a free set of tofu-knives with your name on them!

once again for most of today i somehow "felt" it was saturday. not that for me it makes any practical difference in any way, tis just that sometimes i do ponder what it must feel like to be Those Kinds Of Peeps wot always know the day.

otoh, i do always know where my towels are, so i 'spose that's something
