It's strange of China to even propose this. Why would Australia risk drawing fire when we've escaped the worst of the tariff lunacy so far?

Turning it down is also an easy win for Albanese to look strong against two superpowers, weeks away from an election.

Even when I like the music, it goes down to about 50%. If games were good at dynamically adjusting the music so it doesn't compete with all the other audio when you actually need to hear things, I wouldn't. But here we are.

Since being diagnosed with ADHD I finally accepted that all the common advice for sleeping doesn't work on me. If I get stuck in hyper focus a bit of phone time can break it long enough to switch off.

Newspapers and magazines used to be absolutely everywhere. Littering train carriages, stacked up in waiting rooms. Most of my workplaces would have a daily paper lying around that rotated through the team. Paperbacks exist because they were easy to carry around.

I will never understand why people with power are this petty.

They probably think it's a huge flex, but it makes them look like the most pants-shittingly immature little cry babies.

Real power is not devoting brain cycles to things that should be beneath you.

Around here we still have them, and they provide free wifi. My home is almost close enough to pick up the signal from one in the main street.

Pebbles are small enough to fit in your mouth. This is clearly a stone.

This would have been the real power play. Greenland says they will roll out the red carpet and welcoming party of locals. On arrival, the locals are bears and the carpet isn't red. Yet.
