Spoiler: they're firing tons of people, putting a hiring freeze in place, and adding hot dogshit wherever they can into their products.

Thanks London's Telegraph for running with the RW lie that Victoria's Treaty is somehow invalidated by the Voice referendum.

We don’t think about children when setting welfare rates, because we don’t think of their parents and what the mutual obligations system means for their ability to have agency over their own life let alone what stress below-the-poverty line payments create www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

I've turned another old discussion thread into an article; Did medieval people share their homes with cattle? You can read it here; fakehistoryhunter.net/2025/11/15/d... Or here; fakehistoryhunter.substack.com/p/did-mediev...

Both the fluency of large language models and the prominent placement of their outputs create an environment where false or misleading information can appear reliable, writes Hannah Bailey. She proposes solutions to escape the ‘trust trap.’

Javier Blas is so visibly excited about the future where we burn so much fossil fuel that we literally destroy the planet's life support systems No one denies the possibility of continued fossil fuel: that possibility is why we're fighting, you absolute turnip www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Something centre-right journalists absolutely love is the "enrages environmentalists" framing It presents climate / enviro folks as irrational, salivating and constantly infuriated idiots, whereas 'centrist' pro-fossil politicians are Very Serious, level-headed Adults In The Room archive.ph/0PsH4

Police detonated a ‘stinger’ grenade at a Melbourne protest. Now two activists may sue over their injuries

I’m disgusted that Adani bought coal below market rate, dudded us of $400m in royalties, and then sold it for a profit. The fact countries/companies can be a middle man for our resources is reason to dismantle the whole corrupt fossil fuel system.

“Pervert billionaire sector” is a brilliant descriptor

ai in education causes huge increases in workload for no increase in pay. It dramatically lowers our productivity for our employers and gives it to the pervert billionaire sector. Time for being an academic instead goes to ai guidelines, ai interviews, ai detection and referral, ai this, ai that.

@lrlr.bsky.social Should today's 27A in the Saturday have been 3, 4 rather than one 7letter word?

Also any coverage that ignores the ceaseless mainstreaming of racism, xenophobia and anti-(brown)immigration by political parties and the broader media is whitewashing a significant chunk of why the far-right isn't as big a step away from accepted norms as it should be

Love to bike to work through the middle of the vehicular manslaughter arms race

Politicians in Australia keep saying that the net zero target will cost too much, but multiple analyses, including from Treasury, show that it is actually *much cheaper* for the economy than not doing more www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

I've turned another old social media thread into an article, making it perhaps a bit easier to read. Youtube review: 'How Did Bubonic Plague (Black Death) Actually End? by The Infographics Show (2021) Here: fakehistoryhunter.net/2025/11/14/y... or: fakehistoryhunter.substack.com/p/youtube-re...

This is *it* folks - the hollow, silly appeal to inevitability has to be repeated constantly because otherwise we'd all realise that we can actually push back against awful deployment of ineffective and crappy technology

If you wouldn’t want a random stranger in the street chatting intimately with your child, don’t give your child an AI toy

Every "population crisis" article in western media is just "WHERE ARE THE WHITE BABIES" in disguise and we absolutely do not have to give any credence to any of them

There are thousands of things like this in tech. Why is search bad in Gmail. Why does Bluetooth suck. Why are most streaming apps bad. Why is file transfer still annoying. Every day it feels like I've got random issues with tech stuff while these companies sink billions into AI

Execs make rules that control AI usage, then break them for their own work

Anyone else noticed how Nazi rallies get the go-ahead fairly easily from state governments, then the horrified public reaction is weaponised to pass anti-protest laws, which are then used to quash anti-genocide dissent and justify police assaults on small brown women? You picking up on this, too??

For one thing, bodily autonomy is bodily autonomy. Children's rights are children's rights. Rejecting both is essential to allow men like Epstein to exist, so they reject both. It's not them being hypocritical, it's them being consistent.

Is there a way to mute reposts from a Bluesky account?

I reckon if we deem you responsible and mature enough to face a 25 year jail sentence you're probably also mature and responsible enough to be able to use fucking tiktok

Victoria isn’t broke, its net assets are actually increasing The reason it’s spending more than it’s collecting at present is it’s in the middle of massive infrastructure upgrades The BCA is calling for more infrastructure and complaining about its cost..ffs thepoint.com.au/news/251113-...

'This is, unmistakably, a precarious moment. For the first time in eight decades, questions once thought consigned to history are being asked, and we must be resolute in answering them.' www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

So I’ve had a very brief search of the Epstein database in the last half hour. Noticed Epstein was paying for Google search result poisoning and attending hacker conferences

I always enjoy the spies' belief that great big infrastructure can be kept secret. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Dear ABC radio, please have somebody with more expertise than me explain to you why “renewables are the cheapest form of power” and “power prices have gone up in the last years in spite of increased renewables” are not contradictory statements. And why slowing renewables will not bring prices down.

We're witnessing the greatest sustained attack on the human spirit in history. Big Tech seeks to destroy the arts. They're destroying the school system. They want to make us lobotomized people who can't read, write or create. They've turned dystopian fiction into a manual.

one of the wilder things about any discussion about net zero out here in regional NSW is that there are some folks who understand this as ZERO emissions. so they talk about it forcing them not to drive, or saying that we won't be able to turn the lights on, or shutting down all industry

criminalisation is for poor people.

The UK's data centre boom is "not compatible with net zero" or the country's Clean Power 2030 plan, UK Networks Services MD Simon Gallagher told an event held by energy analyst Montel.

Those Betoota boys break me up … very funny.

And “chords” are not the same as “cords”.

Well that's rather odd. 'Disconcert' is rather an unusual word, for me at least it is not in high rotation, but I managed to use it in two consecutive posts within 3 minutes of each other!

Pet hate. "Fazed" is not the same as "phased".

This is a good lesson for Australia. If you can't do anything in a 3 year term, you can't do it in 4, or apparently 5. The problem is not the term length, the problem is the culture and incompetence of the politics of the people who rise to the top in our parties.

Macro have found something new to hate: Victoria's Treaty, which they pretend is related to the Wurundgeri title claim: www.macrobusiness.com.au/2025/11/vict...

I know the judiciary and government are independent of each other but there’s a very interesting disconnect here in a state where politicians are happy to dump kids in the slammer. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Their political ideology killed millions. We won’t let Nazism resurge. You want to spread Nazi ideology, we’ll make you a persona non grata everywhere
