"ohhhh noo, altered tax settings will crush innovation and ambition". wrong: anything cool and creative is actually being crushed by our shithouse welfare system

Bloke at work was waxing lyrical about openclaw and I had to chew the furniture to keep my cool

You lift people out of poverty by giving them money, hope this helps @albomp.bsky.social

Ah, the canny master of realpolitik has done it again, none can argue with his sound explanations

There’s a person who frequents the ivy or whatever the equivalent is these days.

You! I wanna take you to a Jaycar! I wanna take you to a Jaycar! To the Jaycar, Jaycar, Jaycar

So if you want some more dystopia the RBA is going flank-speed on its blockchain bullshit

💛 HI FRIENDS I NEED YOUR HELP 💛 I am planning to step up the free public climate and energy education that I do online. To do that, I would like to understand a bit more about your wants and needs. Would you please be able to complete this survey? There's a little treat for you at the end!

They will of course ban all ADAS logging because America freedom bald eagle bright rockets red glare

Ya know, it always frustrates me when I learn that horrible person who has been actively abusive, harassing & fascist for years finally only gets brought down because they have a basic ass nonprobleamtic kink or fetish. God our cultures hatred on non-normative sex continually finds way to anger me.

It fucking sucks because it consistently sends the very clear message that Liking Sex Is Evil, but Being A Fascist Is Fine. He didn't delete his account for the years and years and years of hatred and bigotry, no, he had to do it because someone found out he's into more than vanilla.

FB is alive with people saying that Entrepreneurs, Captains of Industry, will flee Australia as they can no longer rely on [checks notes] CGT finagling? Seems legit.

I will shout a rotisserie chicken and one of those big cans of Asahi to the first journo who says to someone like Bob "Given the statistical likelihood you'll be dead in ten years, why do you need investments anymore?"

Sure mate: we sold most of our stuff in a crazed 50-year project to drown government in a bathtub and put as much as possible beyond democratic control; now ministers only announce crackdowns and decide which donors get contracts. And this is all the fault of four French philosophers.

Gonna be some very cool pcb hacks for cheaper second hand Chinese BEVs in the next few years I feel. You’ll go on eBay and see things that send your adas logging to dev/null, etc

Ah so that’s why I had the weather migraine yesterday

"I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said: “Two vast and hyped up IPOs Stand on a website. . . . Near them, in tech press, Half sunk a fawning bio lies, whose grin, And open shirt, and Ivy PhD, Tell that its author well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these broken links,"

I was just reading the wiki page for Richard Garriott and the most recent section in the video games section is a 2022 announcement that he was building an NFT-based MMO. Nothing else beside remains.

The journalists are in the lockup and that’s good. What’s a budget

"Yeah but if we all switched to electric cars overnight, what would we do with all the combustion engines???" Well, here's one solution. 😁

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens.

I love this for her

Rural services are deliberately kept underfunded to forment a permanent resentment which is of utility to political strategists.

Looking at cars, car salespeople are a different species and their thoughts are unknowable

Yes: this is because the only change permitted with in the system is to make it worse, harsher and more exploitative, and any attempt to make it nicer and better is met with Omaha Beach machine guns and barbed wire. Nasty, reactionary politics is the path of least resistance, deliberately so.

This sentence hit me hard: "Many of the contemporary benefits of work — the sense of purpose, recognition for your skills and sense of community — come from the void created through the destruction of non-economic life."

Absolutely no way is this movie nearly 30 years old, that’s like a 50s movie in the 80s, which is how my brain assesses temporality. Illegal.

BRB accidentally liking weird USAian porn posts but certainly not lustfully

Almost certain I’ve misclicked a like or a save for something horny at some time. If you point that out however I’ll fly into a psychotic rage and start biting furniture., which shows I am a rational and fair-minded being.

This is editorial policy, either explicit or implicit. It’s not lazy column-filling, it’s propaganda, probably aimed at boomers. This is a deliberate choice.

Seems reasonable

RETVRN

*spends 200 years extinguishing a culture* huh, look at these people, so much for their "culture" I guess

So yeah based on recent events with an acquaintance take backups of your Facebook if you have anything precious on there

This is me, come at me if you’re not scared of rational debate

Here was the other version I did:

When you spend billions elevating railways because level crossings inconvenience cars you also remove its utility for freight and other non-suburban passenger purposes, come to my ted talk

All of this shit goes right back to John fucking Howard doing his Thatcherite bullshit

The solution is simple, get AI to read all the emails and create a three point summary you can print to pdf and ignore

I'm gonna start mentally replacing "I asked chatgpt" with "I asked grima wormtongue"

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

On what possible grounds, ALP stand help me understand the subtle nuances and exigencies here
