This kind of out-of-the-box thinking continued throughout his storied career.
"What if an Italian man was killed by a mushroom?"
"What if an Italian man was killed by a turtle?"
"What if an Italian man was killed by a go kart?"
Truly one of the great thinkers of our age.
It's okay, I think I'd understand.
“Super Mario was based on an Italian man I saw die in an accident on a construction site. I thought to myself, ‘What if that man had been killed by a gorilla, rather than negligence?’ - Shigeru Miyamoto
Happy Mario day!

It is as though America were not a reliable treaty partner nor ally, a lesson for Australia
I hope there is hellfire
We’ve gone to war on the side that attacks without provocation, double tap strikes primary schools, sets cities ablaze, poisons the sky and destroys desalination plants. What the fuck are we doing @albomp.bsky.social ?
I just remember when the roof of Notre-Dame de Paris was on fire and how every Western leader became a cultural expert and lamented the damage and how everyone donated money to rebuild it.
I am having a hard time finding a single article in any European or American publication about this.
I am in a rushed hearing into the Albanese Labor Government's travel freeze, clearly aimed at preventing people from Iran from seeking safety in Australia.

"NO CHARGES WILL BE LAID" against a man who terrorised & threatened children and violently attacked people? Told to 'move on'?! No search for drugs? What the hell, @victoriapoliceau.bsky.social? Doesn't look like identifying him will be a problem.

Six frames. Woman talking to girl. 1. “Sunday was International Women’s Day - the one day of the year when women get to…” (girl looks excited) 2. “…be controlling and violent toward their partners,…” (girl looks less thrilled) 3. “…tell men what to wear and what they can do with their bodies,…” (girl looks a bit stunned) 4. “…make men feel unsafe and blame them if they get attacked,…” (girl looks uncomfortable) 5. “…and curtail men’s liberty and make laws that serve our own interests.” (Girl looks depressed) 6. “Because men deserve a day off.” (Girl looks seriously unconvinced.)

It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.
How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?
The ALP in your head is long dead.
The massive rise in Islamophobia, consciously fuelled by large sections of the media, is a national disgrace.
I'd love to hear the PM and LOTO speak out about this and the dangers of white supremacy but ....crickets
Analysts theorise the PM won’t hesitate to deploy ground troops to Iran if the price of beer is also impacted.

"why is Australia sending missiles to the Iran conflict?" asks Tom Lowrey, but forgets the most important reason:
It's because the Albanese govt's 'alliance' with the US and desperation on #AUKUS means they will do whatever Trump wants, including participate in an illegal war. #auspol
What he gets up to in the privacy of his own bedroom is none of my business.
oh no worries, Australia is so concerned about civilian casualties we're going to send RAAF aircraft to protect them.
Wait, I'm being handed a note.
Disappointed I was the only MP to vote against 2nd reading of Govt-Oppn bill that will give the Minister power to stop entire classes of temp visa holders arriving in Aus. A discriminatory policy letting the Govt decide which imperilled ppl are worth saving. #auspol #politas
brb, sending hundreds of millions of dollars of ADF assets to the middle east so the guys who have slaves don't feel the consequences of their own alliances.
Well, that's the last time I come to bluesky for advice on how to make a dick panini.

Screenshot of four different jobs from the NY Mag feature about what people make in NYC: "Home Health Aide $23,000 I've been a home health aide for ten years. My main patient last year was in Brooklyn. I spent most of my time taking care of her. I worked two days a week, and I was being paid for 13 hours of work each day - my agency, Loyal Home Care, budgets eight hours of sleep and three hours for mealtimes into our wages. But I was basically working 24 hours a day. She was active, and I was worried she would fall, so I would watch her all day and night. This is a pretty common experience for health aides. The agency can deny our overtime, but you can't deny a patient. When they say, "Oh, I need a drink of water; I need to use the bathroom," how could you possibly say "no" to them? Bronx Day-Care Worker $31,000 $16,600 from day-care profits $14,400 from trainings and consulting Last year, I lost a lot of kids. I live in the Bronx, and a bunch of families in my neighborhood lost their child-care vouchers. We're talking about people who make as much as I do; most of the moms I work with are home health aides. They can't afford full-time child care. If I have 16 kids, I can pay myself for 40 hours of work. But last year, I didn't, and obviously I'm still doing the same amount of work. I've been running the day care out of my home for more than seven years. It's a profession I entered out of necessity and have stayed in out of passion. I pay for everything - food, cleaning supplies, toys - and we have to meet the same requirements as a large company in terms of paying for liability insurance, which can feel pointless in this industry. I mean, if something happens to one of my children, I lose my license. End of story."
It's all so clear
Worth remembering that the US backed pedophile warlords to run Afghanistan during its regime change efforts there, to the point the Taliban of all groups were able to position themselves as the good guys for going after the sexual abuse that the US fully backed.
And we wonder why they hate the US.
Remembering the time a Labor hack said that the rise in petrol prices due to the horrific bombing of Iran is actually good for the environment
