This is one of my favourite facts and I really want to know what it's like to be a mantis shrimp. Sometimes I wonder how you would respond to, or describe, a new colour you have no reference for because it's not like, or a variation of, any of the colours you've ever seen and then I lie down.

How the US far right bought into the myth of white South Africa’s persecution The long read: When Trump granted white South Africans refugee status, he was echoing a falsehood about Black people taking revenge for years of brutality. But no one flourishes in a repressive police...

A tabby cat with a white chin and chest sitting in loaf position staring at the camera. Her front paws are out and touching each other in a way that suggests crossed arms or someone steepling their fingertips.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

A political cartoon by Megan Herbert, with the heading "Priority Housing". The image is divided into two panels, which look similar in that they are government offices of some kind with public servants behind glass windows answering enquiries. The office on the left is full of people from all walks of life lining up for assistance to find emergency and affordable housing . One anxious man, whose wife and small children are with him, is at the window saying, "We need housing. Something affordable and energy efficient to increase our security and improve our productivity." The answer from the person behind the glass is, "Well sir, there's a waiting list...". In the right panel, the office is crowded with a huge bank of data processors. A man in a suit is leaning on the counter smilingly saying to the person behind the glass, "These need housing. Something huge and energy and water intensive. To threaten job security in the name of increased productivity." To which the person behind the glass responds, "Yes sir, there's a fast-track..."

In Australia in the 90s we called that play dough. We made it ourselves, we didn't buy it. Plasticine was different - it was stiffer and held its shape better. Putty is something tradies use.
