Oh I feel so much for anyone whose HR department thinks this is a good idea.

CAN YOU STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM LIKE HE’S NORMAL? What credibility has he ever had? On any topic? In any behaviour set? In leadership of any kind?

Any statement that starts with “Anthropic says” or “OpenAI says” is a lie.

Shocking but unsurprising that @cbsnews.com would cover the ousting of people who won’t breach the constitution for Trump in such a matter of fact way.

Funny how independent researchers get called “advocates” but industry lobbyists get called “experts” 🤔

Somehow even in space Microsoft can make (and hear) you scream www.tomshardware.com/software/mic...

One of my favourite things in Berlin was no need for a physical train ticket. A pass purchased on your phone that doesn’t even need to be scanned at a barrier. You simply have it on your phone, walk straight on and off the train. Show it to inspector if you get asked. Bliss.

No, fuck you. You don’t get to suddenly decide that copyright matters when folks suddenly have access to the source code of your spicy autocomplete due to your own incompetence.

For context - 1.2m people displaced is the population of Adelaide.

The policy described would violate rules of international law prohibiting (i) the destruction of property without absolute military necessity & (ii) forced displacement. The former is a war crime, the latter a war crime & crime against humanity. I discussed this with Reuters here: reut.rs/4dStXyu

Our political columnists have really lost the plot. How are our Governments meant to map out and explain EVERY possible future scenario? Of course they have to plan for lots of possibilities, but as if theres a “stage 4” absolutely set in stone, ready to go - especially in the Trump era.

Professional courtesy again I guess.

So Australia is effectively in an own-goal situation where despite being one of the best placed countries to make use of renewable energy,sat on our hands for 2 decades (time we should have spent electrifying our economy) and now we’re likely to grind to a halt because of our own inaction. Great.

Welp I’ll never trust a car on the road ever again.

hello 👋 i have developed a new tool called blüuümpíi. blüuümpíi will convert every file on your hard drive to a .wav file without asking you, maximize your system volume, and play them on every bluetooth speaker you have ever connected to. if you offer feedback on blüuümpíi i will take legal action

My least favourite thing in media/journalism in 2026: karlbode.com/ceo-said-a-t...

The ambassador decides that The Big Lie is the best approach: Says Israel respects “real journalists”, and has “never targeted” them. All “so-called journalists” who Israel has killed are just “Hamas or Hezbollah terrorists” in disguise. Any real journalist at the #NPC should have walked out.

There’s some real creepy libertarian/free marketish public transport fans who just seem to hate the idea of students and homeless people being given a break from being harassed by ticket inspectors.

There's one trait where economists clearly outperform the other social sciences: Hubris.

Dear god ABC, these “use our product or you’ll fall behind” merchants PROFIT FROM THIS. Stop giving them free PR. It’s like giving anti-vaxxers airtime. They offer no commentary of value - it’s all self interest.

“AI forces you to be unique or die”… But using it makes you sound like everyone else. AI slop is the least unique thing you can do in 2026. Look at Buzzfeed for God’s sake - AI hasn’t made them unique, it’s made them a bland husk of their former selves.

Every time I try to go to SharePoint (whose ONE job is to simply store files) it punts me to Copilot and I have to click through 2 menus to actually get to Sharepoint.

ai feature implementation strategy is essentially “how annoying can we make the ui” so people accidently hit ai features so these companies can brag about how “highly used” ai features are internally

Very proud of my handsome man @heydaaaavey.bsky.social for doing the Run for the Kids today, and @jbau.bsky.social for training with him and hyping him up!

Running over the Bolte Bridge #RunForKids #Melbourne

Run for the Kids with mimosas at the end (with @heydaaaavey.bsky.social) - smashed our PB!

Public transport available…to the public…for public benefit?!?!? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Well yes, leaving Musk’s CSAM generator is the bare minimum anyone with a soul should do.

2021 Republicans: How dare tech companies talk to government about moderating speech!!! We’ll create a whole false narrative about it and take it all the way to the Supreme Court! 2025 Republicans: We run things now so

People will seriously be like, "Look, sorry, but trans people are too biased to cover issues like this for mainstream news outlets," all the while here's a guy who quite literally helped spark the outrage that he acknowledges led in part to this policy change.

Image 1: a line from the article Images 2, 3, and 4: what the author of the article was doing in 2024 to create the controversy

Kind of interesting that this piece published at The Guardian acknowledges that these changes are at least partly a response to the freak out during the 2024 Olympics about Imane Khelif, when the guy writing the piece played a role in fanning those 2024 flames. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

HARD RELATE with Australian actor Rebecca Gibney. ADHD/Autism diagnosis later in life because it was misdiagnosed as anxiety for decades. For me it was a decade of anxiety diagnosis before anyone scratched past the surface 🫠 tvtonight.com.au/2026/03/my-j...

Daily reminder that Arab lives don’t matter

So, @pennyallmanpayne.com & @antipovertycentre.org wrote to the government, urging them to stop forcing welfare recipients into these stupid activities during a fuel crisis. Government response? "Just contact your job provider" Story here: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

In Britain this is considered the highest form of praise.

After a bonkers month I did some business admin, a meeting and then took the afternoon off for a haircut and spa 🧖‍♂️ Self care FTW

I analyzed over 10 years of anti-trans legislation. Over 330 bills have passed, with ~300 of them in just the last 5 years. There is no precedent in American history for so many bills to target one particular minority group like this in such a short timeframe. www.thedissident.news/the-ratchet/

2kms today! And new Aussiebum briefs!

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Isn’t it tremendous that my 20-year-old son, who I’ve never met, doesn’t know how to interact with other humans and can’t read

Dear god this is cringe.

I’m scared everyone. I’m walking down a well lit laneway in an affluent area. What if a crypto bro or property developer tries to sign me up to seminar? 😱

Jonah Peretti is proof that tech companies succeed despite their CEOs, not because of techcrunch.com/2026/03/17/b...

What exactly is the point of Labour? If it’s not to stand up and fight for the real human beings who actually create, produce and *do* things then what is their purpose? Should they even be called “Labour”? A neutral position is still siding with big tech. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

If i didn't have a career in games I think I'd quite happily just play things that have already been made and leave wherever the industry is going behind

Amazing how Melon literally recreated this.
