very late to this party, but I do feel that The Other Bennet Sister does Mrs Bennet very dirty. I have heard the argument about it being Mary's POV, but I can see feeling neglected, overlooked, and underappreciated, but the cruelty from her mother feels out-of-character.

Figure skaters should start a class action against anyone who airs slow-motion videos of their jumps and spins. They're balancing on ice knives! No one needs to see what their faces do to survive!!

Just got a free airplane upgrade so the six years of agony, thousands of tears, regular questioning of my sanity, and multiple people that had to talk me off a ledge to get my PhD was totally worth it

Canadians just shouldn't allow American skaters to use Canadian music until the country sorts itself out. You want KD Lang? Not until you've passed all LGBTQIA+ protections into law, fuckers.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

A wrong Grok post making up a white guy who stopped the Australian mass shooting.BBC

A "hero" bystander who was filmed wrestling a gun from one of the Bondi Beach attackers has been named as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed.

Video verified by the BBC showed Mr Ahmed run at the gunman and seize his weapon, before turning the gun round on him, forcing his retreat.

Mr Ahmed, a fruit shop owner and father of two, remains in hospital, where he has undergone surgery for bullet wounds to his arm and hand, his family told 7News Australia.
