  • That’s a weird timeline…

    In 2010, it was reported that Perry and Rose went out in Melbourne on the night of 6 August, including to Spice Market.

    Perry “crashed” the Melbourne high school formal at the Grand Hyatt – where Spice Market was located – according to the story.

    So Rose would have been mid-20s… And not an actor yet. I think she was modeling?

    They ended up at a highschool prom.

    Rose said Perry assaulted her, but there’s the child abuse department involved.

    So if Rose didn’t go to the prom, it sounds like Perry tried something, got shutdown, and went a prom to pick up someone else? Like, I don’t know why that department is involved if no part of the story involves a minor…








  • I saw the picture and didn’t think about it.

    But they’re really just doing skits to kick off press conferences now…

    The publicly unscheduled but clearly staged press event played out just after noon as the press pool was ushered to the front door of the Oval Office to watch the president of the United States grin and receive two large bags of McDonalds from a delivery driver who then turned to reporters and praised the GOP’s move to end taxes on tipped wages in 2025.

    “McDonalds!” the red-clad woman said in a tone clearly only audible to reporters outside the Oval as she rapped quickly on the door. Trump, a second later, opens the door: “Oh, nice to see you!”

    “Nice to meet you,” the woman replied. The two began a banter about how the “No Tax On Tips” policy Trump championed during the 2024 election was now helping her as part of the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” passed into law last year.

    They put more planning into this then the Iran war


  • Name Tag, as revealed in February by The New York Times, would work through the artificial intelligence assistant built into Meta’s smart glasses, allowing wearers to pull up information about people in their field of view. Engineers have reportedly been weighing two versions of the feature: one that would only identify people the wearer is already connected to on a Meta platform, and a broader version that could recognize anyone with a public account on a Meta service such as Instagram.

    Creeps will instantly use it to go to where women are and find their accounts.

    Not to mention any woman that has to work a customer facing job.

    This would suck for men too tho, it would suck for everyone.

    But it might be what it finally takes to get the dumb masses off Meta platforms. There’s so many other reasons anyways, but idiots just can’t delete their Instas



  • Microsoft hiked the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to $29.99 per month last year, a massive 50 percent hike.

    $360 a year for all the games you want to play, but you don’t walk away with anything is only worthwhile if there’s a huge rush of new games all being added day 1.

    Like, I had it for a while before the price jump, and at $15/month the annual COD and a handful of games you like but not enough to buy made it worth it.

    But COD sucks, and there’s not many good games releasing at all, let alone available day 1 on game pass.

    I most likely would have cancelled by now even if it was $15.

    For the math to work out, they need to have a couple of the big “annual games” but if people stop playing them, they stop paying for game pass immediately.

    So Xbox needs to make all that shit “in house” and understand that if the deal is decent, no one is buying the annual games. They’re competing with themselves at this point.

    Would have been better off to build up their own titles exclusive to game pass then co-opt existing ones that are available elsewhere…


  • It’s game over.

    That hinges on if the US Navy will board and/or fire on a 3rd party tanker that Iran is letting pass.

    Shippers have insurance now and they don’t care about the lives of their crews

    With the price of gas, someone will order their ship to test it. If one goes thru, then a bunch will go at once.

    Edit:

    Hard to read around paywall, but article says trump is only “blockading” things going to/from an Iranian port…

    Shit will just touch a port in another country first, not change cargo, and then sail right past…

    Easy loophole, and still puts how bad this is, on if US ships will actually try to enforce anything
