I want to bring #webrings back. I miss the more connected internet where my very queer blog was somehow connected to a Sydney Christian boy and a woman who knitted in South Australia. Does anyone know any open source webring projects?

Eric Schmitt: "Did you knowingly stow away on an interstellar space vessel to create havoc and intimidate the crew through subterfuge and deceit?"

Jack Smith: "That Senator was Dr. Zachary Smith."

I was buying powdered donuts and this lady next to me said -
"You should never eat donuts for breakfast!”
So, I told her "My Grandmother lived to be 100 years old."
She asked "And she ate powdered donuts for breakfast?”
I said, "No, she minded her f**kin' business."

oh my god read the vertical axis

@ Sashi @ @sashikantsingh - 1day
Open Al's internal benchmarks show GPT-6.1 Sol
crushing Opus 5.5, with Anthropic struggling to
keep up

Explanation: 
The graph uses the version numbers to plot the vertical axis, not actual performance. So you endd up with: 
ChatGPT 6.1
Opus 5.5
Grok 4.7

I love you. 

You're probably thinking "You don't even know me". But if people can hate for no reason, I can love.

I've been delaying a dental appointment, as I suspect have many others have, judging by the stream of friendly SMS reminders to come in and have my crown finished. Could we not tax the super-profits instead?

It will sound repetitive, but while what #AmyRemeikis writes here has been written before it doesn’t mean its superfluous because it hasn’t penetrated the electorate’s collective minds deep enough to make change happen, hence it needs to be said, again and again.

The #EconomicRationalists on the #RBA board spruking their madcap #NeoLiberal mantras are a bunch of absolute *Cultists* , unswayed in their *Monetary Crusade* to impose **austerity** on innocent *punters* come what may.

The RBA #CashRate hike is the predictable act of an economist wedded to a debunked economic system and incapable of understanding how a *Society* behaves beyond their simplistic *economic behaviour* theory, inthralled by their blind faith in the *Markets* self-balancing powers. All of this was debunked decades ago of course.

“Domestic data does not support the decision to raise interest rates. Being wrong in the right company (the market and conservative economists) might make for easier dinner parties and congratulatory op-eds in the financial pages, but it does nothing to look after the welfare – economic and otherwise – of the Australian people.

The RBA board would refute that of course, and trot out the same arguments that the pain is necessary to stop worse down the road. Which would be true, of course, if individual households had any control over the spending that is driving inflation”

Meanwhile, the independence of the RBA board, its decisions and its set inflation range make govt intervention in the markets all the more difficult if not impossible. The economic system is rigged and not to our greater social benefit.

I made nachos for dinner and found a tin of tomatoes at the back of the cupboard that hissed when I opened them. No botulism for me today thank you!

@sisterratched@vivaldi.net A new type of server, think WordPerfect being replaced by Word or GoogleDocs. I was on Akkoma, which I loved, but I'm self-hosting this on an old box in my lounge room, which is frankly amazing.

Some people claim that they can use dark magics to force Linux to do what they want.

But that's just sudoscience!
