So I was dreading this as I knew the non-standard code generator needed to be transferred with a working device or the same mobile number, neither of which I still have, and even if I got that far I know people who’ve had their myGov accounts deleted as they hadn’t used it in a couple of years…

“Without hunger and thirst among the Gazan population, we will not succeed in recruiting collaborators, we will not succeed in recruiting intelligence, [or]... in bribing people with food, drink, medicine, in order to obtain intelligence.” —Tally Gotliv (Likud Knesset member)

I love finding random ":wq"s in my files.

I love/hate finding something not matching my docs only to find a record of my account making the change in the logs. #SysAdminLife

Jesus Christ this is just a paraphrasing validation machine. This is like if therapy was incredibly harmful. As in not accidentally harmful but its intent was to actually drive you to harm. This algo has no goal, it just responds to the person in the moment. It’s like toxic present centredness

I think one of the most telling exhibits of the Australian national character is that not every house in Queensland even has ceiling fans

I love this song

This is utterly … what’s the word? Oh yes … fucked. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Lorem Ipsum Pantellote has to be one of the most ridiculous man*a names I’ve read in a decent while.

FOI request reveals gendered exit patterns in the NDIS, from 3 very clear "signatures of a system that confuses neutrality with fairness." "The numbers in the FOI documents are not abstract—they are evidence of rights that have been withheld." #auspol #disability #ndis #genderequality

All of the guy hurling profanities during their 5-person competitive MOBAs thinking we are delicate blossoms, where the true measure of strength is thinking the profanities, putting your kids' welfare about above all by keeping them inside, and STILL KICKING YOUR BUTT.

Imagine if newspapers instead wrote something like, "According to police, the suspect tried to hit the officers with his car. In 35 out of 37 statements issued by this department over the past 5 years, police gave false initial statements, later contradicted by their own bodycam footage."

'A former deputy head of the Ramsay Centre for Western Civilisation, McInerney has also argued the White Australia Policy did not go far enough and that white Australians may need to live in separate neighbourhoods as a form of “tactical retreat”.' www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Bluesky will, with a userbase too large to enforce mores like "don't be a bigot," inevitably become hostile to trans people. Faster than most, because it obviously hasn't thought about what happens when terf island appears in force.

Like every single other site that grew due to sex workers, bluesky will inevitably turn on them. Faster than most, due to the complacency induced by its cowboy trust & safety mindset.

I’m old enough to remember how 10 years ago the biggest news in mainstream American politics was Bernie not going to AIPAC. We’re far beyond that now. The shift away from pro-Israel absolutism is here to stay. Israel has lost that component of the culture wars.

Protests are erupting in every European capital—including Spain, Italy, Greece, Germany, Belgium, and Türkiye—demanding governments act to stop the illegal seizure of the Freedom Flotilla heading to Gaza. ​The world demands humanitarian aid be delivered!

@nanoraptor.danamania.com I called my new 💨Pods `q840AV`, which then led me to question how much processing power they have over their namesake… a conservative estimate seems to be at least 10,000x.

@strombo.bsky.social Listening to the Morello episode on Apple Music, and the PG versions really took me out of it. Unlistenable. :/

We need to figure out how to take a hard turn away from policing students. They didn't create this problem. Educators didn't create this problem. All attention on control and stricture is wasted, while further entrenching and legitimizing industry extraction. Let students live. Change your pedagogy.

Italy sends navy ship to protect Gaza-bound flotilla after Israeli drone attack https://www.scmp.com/news/world/middle-east/article/3326720/italy-sends-navy-ship-protect-gaza-aid-flotilla-after-drone-attack

Does anyone have a good recommendation on a history of the White Australia Policy? The internet keeps telling me to read one that specifically ends at 1920 which is too early for my needs

An Australian media personality who doesn't fit well into the cooker Right has turned out to be a mindless centrist. Wow, that's surprising.

Israel is waging a holocaust in Gaza. Denazification is our only remedy The deadly ethno-supremacy inherent to Israeli society runs deeper than Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and Smotrich. It must be confronted at its root. Orly Nor www.972mag.com/israel-holoc...

Ah, right, so I guess I need to work out an off-ramp for @1password.bsky.social.

I unfollowed them ages ago, but anyone know when Brilliant Maps went from nice actually good, sometimes brilliant, maps and other geographical representations to just crap?

I am going to become the joker.

I haven’t been keeping up, but yup, it was a factor: “Floodwaters from the River Murray in 2022-23 brought extra nutrients into the sea.” — www.algalbloom.sa.gov.au

Here's my "gaslighting" article. I often pair it with firehosing because the two techniques work so well together. You can fight it, but you have to remember that the fight starts in our own minds and we have to sort that out first or risk posters madness - or much worse

Time to dust off my articles about how to survive protracted disinformation attacks. The technique we are all struggling with right now is called "firehosing" with gaslighting in the mix as well. I've written about both. Here's my article on firehosing l

Organising a solar upgrade for a van I’ve helped build, on and off, for a few years. The new 510W panel we’ll be installing is nearly half the price of the 315W I bought for it four years ago.

turns out Charlie Kirk’s wife is exactly the sort of person I expected to be married to Charlie Kirk

So I crashed pretty hard last week, and instead of trying to force myself to work through it with the meds I was on I used the opportunity to come off them and have started on something new today. #MedLog

Also, the ADHD thing of “I haven’t felt that pain in a while, it must have healed fully,” and when you check your records “a while” ends up being two days and you’ve just made it worse again because time blindness.
