Thought I'd check the Steam forums to see what they had to say about our anniversary, and was not disappointed. Somehow if there's anywhere even more unhinged than Facebook comment threads, it's the Steam discussion forums.
Rebecca Fernandez O'Shea@rebeccafernandez.bsky.social · 3d agoOh wow, Tricky Towers was released 10 years ago. Time flies! I learned so much while working on this at WeirdBeard, and had such a great time with my colleagues. Only the 6 of us on the core team!
If you’ve been thinking about giving blood, now is the time.
12yo relies on blood donors to keep her alive, but there's a big shortage
More than 12,000 blood donors are needed over the next seven days as the nation faces ongoing shortages of type O and A blood supplies.

Great, more incentives for people to drive instead of use public transport. This is just buying votes for the state election from Western Sydney to try and stop from losing them all to One Nation. And subsidising Transurban and the motor industry.

This has been in my head for three days now. I'm clearly a sap, but this just makes me smile. Aussie birds were the #1 thing I missed from Australia while I was in Europe, so for sure, they deserve to be sung about by a talented seven year old. youtu.be/9vJZi-x-sag?...

For all the replies saying "but public transit is terrible, I have to wait an hour for the bus"... comrade, what you are suffering from is the *absence* of public transit.

"What they’re doing to the little fellas in Gaza, from our land, it’s not right. We feel responsible." In my incredible ignorance of indigenous culture, I had not even considered that the traditional owners would feel responsible for crimes committed by the US base occupying their land 😭
David Milner@davemilbo.bsky.social · 2w agoHere's my story from Pine Gap. "The fight to end the US military occupation of Australia (and the entire world)" It's a photo-essay this time because I took a tonne of pics, the country being this stunning, to help convey the Arrernte's struggle.

Sydney friends - some guerrilla gardeners set up "Newtown Forest" recently to try and make King St/Enmore Rd less of a stale traffic sewer. Police removed it all yesterday 😢 So there's a petition to bring it back, as well as improving walking & cycling in the area. Go sign! c.org/x2XbY2TxrD

🇪🇸 CAMPEONES DEL MUNDO 🇪🇸 Congrats to Spain on winning the FIFA World Cup, showing Trump that progress is always the winning team.
The cursory handshakes the Spanish players give Trump, vs the hugs they give the Spanish king are very satisfying.
I really hope halftime show remains a US world cup anomaly and this doesn't infect future tournaments.
Ah, my mum has worked out I often appear in Bike NSW and my MP's facebook page posts, so she's followed both and leaves happy comments every time I'm in a photo/video 😂 It's sweet but also a bit awkward

Labor totally under the sway of AI techbros then. Fuck building public housing, fuck the environment, fuck keeping Aus creative industries safe from IP theft by AI companies. Let's just give our land, water, fossil fuels and original IP to the techbros to make money from.

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
omg no, Sam Neill 😭 Will forever remember how he nicely signed our large plastic raptor on wheels at AIE Sydney when he was in the Wentworth Park grandstand filming for "Old School"
