Use the word "peatslide" in a sentence, LOL.

"Since the peatslide, AWS has remained quiet about its involvement, but in the run-up to the construction work the company was in full green PR mode, advertising the agreement as a historic breakthrough for both its ambition to run a service powered completely by renewables by 2030 and for contributing to Irish green-energy infrastructure without costing the taxpayer a penny.

To help undergrads grasp cognitive dissonance effects, I often end my lecture on this topic with "Be careful who or what you sacrifice for."

Another 'win' for the Australian social media ban.

Unable to use their (age-appropriate) account to watch YouTube, my teen watches it while not logged in, and has just been algorithmically served a video titled "Which colour Skittles taste the best while high?"

Good one, Aus Govt, you're doing *such* a great job protecting kids from harm... 🙄
