Aussie Rules official heard describing women as 'breeders'
A southern NSW football club says an official has stepped down after making derogatory comments about players on its women's team.
"She could be a good player if she lost a bit of weight. She just can't [expletive] move,"
"We've got a real issue in our society overall, the body shape of women ... they're our breeders, mate ... because of the food they're eating, even the young girls, the shape's all wrong.

A platypus lower jaw and upper jaw, showing one remaining horny pad and three empty sockets where the pads have fallen out. From the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge
The #platypus has solved the key flaw of mammal teeth - that they can't be replaced*: #platypuses got rid of teeth. Instead they have horny pads to smash the crayfish & larvae they eat. As they wear down, they just regrow like fingernails.
*Unless you're a nabarlek, a rock-wallaby with endless teeth

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"
counterpoint!
the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

NYT is probably the only platform worse than Substack tbh. Y'all have the same percentage of Nazis. Even worse, somehow, you're not even NYT. If you were an official page, you'd have a NYT handle.

an illustration from 2025 of an Eladrin woman running through a garden holding her hand out tp the viewer.
The same illustration but the foliage is drawn better and the woman has been touched up to better match my recent art
2025 vs 2026 ( I didn't redraw Paper (the oc) just touched her up but everything else was fair game)
I've been changing how much I draw plants recently that I just had to see what this piece would look like with better foliage.

Oh that's cool they could come back and do the gang rape plot they wrote but were sad they didn't get to film. The one where a woman's brutal torture and sexual assault gets slut shamed then becomes a motivation for a man's feels.
Just like old times.

A screen shot a text exchange that reads:
"Is everything ok? You left while I was in the shower and didn't get to say goodbye or anything"
"I got a call"
"Ngl. Ive been patient long enough.... but clearly your not ready for a real adult relationship. Your out here wasting hours with a fuckin library card like some little kid playing pretend smart. Reading books?
Really? While I'm sitting here with actual needs!! real needs!! that you keep ignoring because your weird I.
My sexual needs matter and when I want you, I expect you to be available"
"And the library card I found in your wallet is childish... Kids go there, Jada. Kids. So what are you even doing hanging around a place like that all the time? You gonna tell me you just "like to read or are you seriously getting off on being around little boys? That's some weird shit.
Grow the fuck up plz. I'm sorry for going off like this but I need a mature woman who can meet my needs when I ask not when you feel like"
