Congratulations to Wangaratta High School on its distinguished contribution to Scandinavian royalty. The new Queen of Norway was an exchange student in Wangaratta in 1990 👑

@adc057 @smokedgouda5 Another one I read said “a lot of women can just marry rich”

@cosmicjester Can I also get your vibes on pints/schooners/pots too plz

[mel @superhotmel]

People here talk about Bluesky posters a lot but the true insane people are on threads. I think because you just get more engagement for posts. It’s makes everyone mental

Now I could just finally update the app. I won’t

[mel @superhotmel]

I’ve had the bird twitter app, because I didn’t want to have the ugly x app. The carousel update has finally been the thing that has deeply broken it. Because even if you only have one pic they don’t load. QTs with pics don’t even show the pic link, they just look like a tweet

[judah @joodalooped]

ok fine, thread of Twitter’s UI degradations since @nikitabier and @benjitaylor took charge of the design decisions

1. the new carousel (almost always a bad pattern, particularly sucks here) that replaced the famous image grid

@cosmicjester @SlayerRules_420 It comes from needing time to sail back to England! So it makes sense it’s just us. But also the US has no mandated minimum leave entitlements at all, including public holidays don’t have to be time off.

@mozzie_Melb @AvidCommentator Seattle has had this for a couple of years. The ordinance is a per-minute calculation, resulting in about $28 an hour if you drive for the whole hour. https://t.co/rhZEI07exZ

What the fuck is this

Adidas not selling that Argentina shirt warm up top is a huge miss. It’s really nice

Fries are a type of chip and trousers are a type of pant! Not all chips are fries, and trackies are pants but certainly not trousers!

Born and grew up in Australia, and these are the forms that I use.

Why do so many vibe coded Claude/loveable pages default to an off white background. Off white, rounded corners.

Usain Bolt didn’t make it out of trails with the Central Coast Mariners. It’s more than just being “the best athlete”

[mel @superhotmel]

It is baffling that commbank picked an American song, bon jovi, for their rah rah Socceroos ad not an Australian one.

Pulisic is a flog

USMNT fans defending the decision is so gauche

Holy shit Cape Verde

This reffing is fucked
