This is the kind of divisive policy that will Fraktur the nation.

Checks Wikipedia… 100 episodes?! How I have never even heard of this?!?

Gonna watch the pilot

@[email protected] or anyone who might know:

Can Wafrn be used for watch parties / live posting? (I.e. people read & post with a specific hashtag in real time.)

I do that with Mastodon (e.g. #Monsterdon ) but so far others I’ve tried (e.g. Sharkey) can’t do it.

OK, thanks, I’ll ask him.

Not defining key terms like “we” defeats the porpoise of the question.

Stepsy

I’ve tried a few step counters (Paseo, Pedometer PFA) but they kept crashing (a couple of times a week) so I’d often go to check my steps only to find they hadn’t been counting.

In the two months I’ve been using Stepsy, it hasn’t crashed once.

Fancy? No. Reliable? Yes.

Well, the oh-so-grassroots group behind this suit didn’t even exist until 5 weeks ago…

Oh, an “internet rights group”? Hey, I like internet rights!

“Digital Freedom Project”? Hey, I like digital freedom!

Let me learn more about them!

I go to their website.

Ooh, lots of scary words, analogies & imagery about the big, bad ban: chains! locks!!!

But I still don’t know who these awesome freedom fighters actually are.

So I go to their About page.

Which informs that they are… “a group of Australians”. That’s it. Not one single name of a person, group or institution. Hundreds of words about how this ban (AND NOTHING ELSE ON THE INTERWEBS EVER) is bad, and how they are fighting the ban, and how you can even help pay them to fight the ban. But just four words about them: “a group of Australians”.

Not even stock photos or AI slop images, not even autogenerated-looking generic names expressing support for the righteous cause. Not even one name to contact. Nothing.

There is an ABN (Australian Business Number) in a tiny font at the bottom of their. Looking it up, I get this:
https://abr.business.gov.au/ABN/View?id=27500105086

Still no names. No directors, no staff, no contributors. Not eligible for tax-deductible gifts. And active since 20 October 2025. 5 weeks old.

Or the secretary?

(TL;DR: a not-necessarily-correct view of history as progression from a bad past to a good present, and probably a better future)

You laugh, but this is how Skynet came about!

Why would people with access to chocolate Hobnobs give a flying fuck about Oreos?

Personally, in the middle of my 4th(?) rewatch of 3rd Rock. I’ve never gone out of my way to rewatch HI.

Pro-tip in case you’re unsure:

• “Mary” is pronounced “Mary”.
• “Merry” is pronounced “merry”.
• “Marry” is pronounced “marry”.

You’re welcome.

The court prohibits the wearing of shorts, skorts, sleeveless shirts, hats/caps (excluding ones worn for religious or cultural reasons) and “other clothing not suitable in a Court or any other professional environment.”

Well, he complied with that rule.

If a social media post of a screenshot of a social media post of a screenshot of a social media post says so… then it must be true!
