This 76-year-old Madison potter and his tiny orange kitten Georgie have the internet in a chokehold. While John works the wheel, Georgie just hangs out in the apron pocket like the world’s calmest studio assistant.
Would you trust your cat this close to a spinning pottery wheel? 🐱✨

Ed Husic unloads on ANZ CEO Nuno Matos as he draws blanks to “straight forward” questions from Jerome Laxale on the bank’s eftpos cost savings

Matthew Parker and his partner Bailey, a YouTuber and mobile mechanic, responded to a Facebook message with photos from a single father standing on the side of the road in Tulsa with his two young kids, a roughly 3-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl. One child is named River in the footage.
The father was holding a sign. When they arrived, he was crying and the older child was saying he was hungry.
The father had a car, but the head gasket blew, leaving them without transportation. He had been staying at an Eagle Suites style hotel but ran out of money that day.
He had been out on the roadside with the kids since about 8 a.m., with people yelling at him to “go get a job.”
The children’s mother is described as an alcoholic who wants nothing to do with him or the kids. They were literally homeless with almost nothing, limited belongings, no place to stay, and no car.
Parker had initially thought the messages might be a bluff, but they were real. The family was visible on the roadside with the sign complaining that the city of Tulsa wasn’t helping.
Parker and Bailey picked them up from the roadside. It was the first time they had loaded someone into the work vehicle that way.
They tried returning to the previous hotel, but it refused to rent to them again because one of the kids had drawn on a wall in a small room where they were all sleeping on one bed.
They found another hotel, paid for a room, initially covering a week, with later efforts aimed at longer term support. They bought food, including Happy Meals for the kids, and got them settled.
They also stopped for Easter baskets since the timing was around Easter.
Parker set up a GoFundMe called “Help a Single Father Rebuild His Life,” seeking donations for a vehicle, longer housing, a job, and a babysitter so the father could work as a single parent.
He publicly urged viewers to help change the ending of the story.
Later, child welfare reportedly contacted Parker’s household in connection with the case.
Parker noted the irony. The dad had been easy to locate because he was standing publicly on the roadside with a sign and the kids, ages roughly 2 and 3, yet services apparently had trouble finding him.
Parker and Bailey had already helped with a hotel, food, and longer-term support plans, including a vehicle and job assistance.
This is Vanessa Hudson, CEO of Qantas, who scored $6.4 million in pay, bonuses, shares etc last financial year. Qantas itself made $1.2 billion after tax. Hudson is now sacking 850 workers, outsourcing their jobs to India. Disgusting.
I do not understand why anyone is surprised by this. This was always going to happen, in every State/Territory and will happen on the Federal level too.
Lie down with dogs...
Here we have the Libs openly stating they consider the racist, antisemitic bigots of #OneNation as preferable to Labor. Draw your own conclusions.

A man and his wife went out for dinner and ended up sharing a large table with people from all different backgrounds. When the bill came, he secretly paid for everyone's meal. Once the others found out, their reactions were priceless. This is what kindness looks like ❤️
