Going to a different Woolworths with a different layout is like visiting a foreign country and learning their strange ways.

Americans continue to use anything except the metric system.

YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT YOU CLOWNS

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

This is so embarrassing for @Google and served as a reminder that billionaires will always side with authoritarians, because authoritarians will always protect billionaires at the expense of democracy and the working class.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

This is the weirdest fucking cult in the history of time.

[AJ @LikeATattoooooo]

I’m sorry what? How does America make the things and still manage to be ten million light years behind the rest of the world.

Dear Ziploc and the cereal industry, I think it’s time you worked together. Society is ready.

@Sammy__Edmund Disney Dome ... missed opportunity

[Zweli Mbhele @TheZweli]

Forgive my ignorance, but is it normal to sing the anthem of a team not in the final?? Or is it America being annoying again?

[Jake Sims @jake_s_258]

@NRL What is the point of this exactly?

[Joe @electionsjoe]

This may be the funniest image of the entire Trump administration.

"How come Americans write the month first?"
"That's how you say it, month first"
"What's the date today?"
"It's the fourth of July"

Nothing will prepare you for how she goes about saying Socceroos

deeply offended at Coles Radio announcing it's the #1 digital radio station in the country while im in the supermarket. that's like the prison warden celebrating having the most keys of anyone in the prison

Smart glasses and goggles, a history:

Silicon Valley, 2013 (Google): “you really want this”
Everyone: “no we don’t”

Silicon Valley, 2016 (Microsoft): “ok but what if it’s for the enterprise”
Enterprise: “maybe, but also, no”

Silicon Valley, 2023 (Meta): “ok but what if they look normal and have AI”
Everyone: “wait… maybe? … Actually, no”

Silicon Valley, 2024 (Apple): “ok but what if it’s $3,499 and covers your whole face”
Everyone: “absolutely not”

Silicon Valley, 2026 (Snap): “ok but this time for real”
Everyone: “we admire the persistence but still no”

Imagine telling someone in 1999…

The year is 2026.

The President is Donald Trump in his second non consecutive term.

The richest man in the world is PayPal cofounder Elon Musk… but not because of fintech or Paypal. Because of rockets, electric cars, AI, satellites, brain chips and something called “Boring Company”.

Apple is worth trillions but its main business isn’t computers… its selling glass rectangles everyone stares at for 9 hours a day.

People don’t watch TV. They watch teenagers explain geopolitics, finance, and relationship advice in ~60 second videos.

The biggest taxi company owns no taxis.
The biggest hotel company owns no hotels.
The most powerful media companies are social networks where everyone argues with strangers for free.

Kids are making millions filming themselves playing video games.

AI Robots write emails, code, legal memos, songs, essays, and breakup texts.

The internet is mostly bots arguing with humans who are trying to prove they aren’t bots.

You can summon a car, groceries, a doctor, a date, a private jet, or a dog walker from your phone.

People pay real money for invisible currencies, digital monkeys, AI girlfriends and pictures that disappear after 24 hours.

The richest companies in the world don’t sell oil, steel, or cars. They sell attention, compute, data, and addiction.

And somehow, after all of that everyone is still using Excel.

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

If rumours are to be believed I'll be living with a seventh different Prime Minister shortly. If it carries on like this I'm going to stop making the effort to learn their names.

[mark normand @marknorm]

This looks like a Disney movie where a 12 year old becomes president

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit
