This is anti-science, anti-community, hate-driven policy

my google plus hot take is if they hadn't leaned into the "use your real name" but instead "this is a safe space to shitpost with your internet only friends" it would have done incredibly well

trying to buy a used car and I have entered a fun new circle of hell. awe inspiring how miserable of a process they've made this

Ahahahaha, with what safe places for young people in our society?

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Gotta say the worst thing GLP-1’s did to my mental health was confirm the food hunger I constantly experienced was not normal and that the stigma of binge eating (and obesity) was deeply unfair

So Labor and the Liberals teamed up to pass legislation to give police the power to recommend cancellation of Centrelink payments of people who have not been found guilty of a crime by a court of law. It’s discriminatory financial punishment of people in poverty who are already over-policed

i miss having a cat

A toddler when in a moment of exhaustion and weakness you let them have or do something you normally wouldn’t:

It’s highly unlikely anyone involved in creating and implementing Robodebt will ever face criminal prosecution because of the class action settlement

Homeless disability pensioner Glenn Campbell on how Robodebt is still heaping misery on welfare recipients thewest.com.au/news/wa/not-...

is there someone in the sleeping bag and tent industry who is infuriated by the concept that people want to repack these things. whos the camping shibari fucker who decided absolutely everything had to be a struggle to put away

As an activist who helped lead the campaign against Robodebt, I can only think back to the days when legal scholars told us we had no chance of winning in court, and how I thought, fuck it, we’ll keep fighting anyway The Robodebt class action payout is now the largest *ever* in Australian history

ope, better make sure I rinse out my milk bottles for the recycling!

the government should have to pay for anyone who wants to get forklift or bulldozer certified

need people to stop making technology inspired by Star Trek (smooth, sleek, no buttons, all screen, voice activation, extremely minimal, wireless) and start making technology inspired by Star Wars (clunky buttons, indicator lights on everything, ugly, indestructible, fat cables that emit steam)

i love unreal engine 5 and its ability to run like utter dogshit no matter what you try to do

when a pol says "A is a distraction from B," what they mean is "I don't want to talk about A, I want to talk about B." we can speculate as to why they want to talk about B instead of A, but the occam's razor answer is either "A polls badly for them" or "they don't actually care about A" (or both)

And I think that’s something that the Canberra Bubble doesn’t really understand: care work. The exhausting, bone crushing work it takes to do physical care and why so many families needed extra home-based supports caring for children

guy whose favourite part of the Culture series is the ease that anyone can change genders but refuses to engage with it at any level: wow cool spaceships

This whole story is insane. Tesla apparently did everything it could to avoid providing the data it had about its Autopilot crash. This is just a snippet and there's a lot more. electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...

i think if you dropped me into a giant pachinko machine, my body striking various pins as it made its way down before limply hitting the bottom and disappearing, it would rid of a lot of muscle knots

ZUCKERBERG: Today we're announcing that MetaAI has produced the first true artificial superintelligence, expressly designed to shepherd humanity into a new era of infinite prosperity. Meet Cicero! CICERO: Hello. This man has too much. You must kill him

the barber in this shop is talking about how he doesn't trust microwaves because of the health impact of the radiation but loves cooking on his gas stove. top tier dumb guy chats here

If you're worried about your daughter losing at sports to a trans kid just wait until you hear about "tall kids" or "rich kids"!!! There's a thousand reasons why one kid might win over another and gender identity is like not even on the list

The new law specifically addresses people with medical conditions who want to be sterilized for their reproductive health.

Merlin, who keeps putting other things in a stone and then judging me as morally unworthy for not being able to pull them out, like the remote control or my debit card

The ABC considers iView to be "one of its commercial offerings" which prompts the question: who is the customer, exactly, and what are they paying for?
