2·8 days agoIt was fun sometimes watching Tracy Spiridakos struggle to emote 😄
(And all the yanks thinking the woman clearly speaking in an Australian accent was British… no, actually that was confusing. Took me almost a season to realize the character was actually supposed to be British.)
2·9 days agoWell, 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=27500105086Still no names. No directors, no staff, no contributors. Not eligible for tax-deductible gifts. And active since 20 October 2025. 5 weeks old.
17·13 days agoI think if a polar bear was coming at you, you’d be impressed with how quickly you got the mitten off.
“I don’t think the logo should be political, and being Taiwanese is against my personal values. They shouldn’t shove it down my throat!”
Sons of Anarchy, once I realized & tired of the formula of “always have three overlapping existential crises, introduce a new one every time one is resolved”.
Especially after the main cast spent time in prison, during which there were apparently zero existential crises for the MC.
Steam catapult or electromagnetic catapult, I’m fine seeing Trump fired from either.
9·1 month agoThe 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.
The only fun way to play Monopoly!
Also, he was tiny, so no way was he tall enough to peep over the flag.
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!

Confused. Surely pineapples don’t grow in Canada or Wisconsin?

2·1 month agoGood to hear it might be useful 😀
9·1 month agoI am, pie completely soggy :(
- I second what @martine@sh.itjust.works suggests
- I knew of Pixabay for images, cool you found they also do music
- Another source: maybe Jamendo? Here’s their page on licensing. I believe those subscription plans support use with fewer limitations & additional features/services, but I think you can start building a library of tracks for free (but I am not an expert)
I can find it on Droidify, but there’s only a Share button, no install button :(
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.
