People genuinely remixing or jumping on a trend, hilarious. The people who just copy someone else’s good joke is getting really dull.

“We can’t afford health care but we can afford to bail out the confident lying machine”

Well of course the reason to secure Government is to maintain the status quo of course.

Person who uses AI for unethical means: “It’s UNETHICAL to punish people for using AI”

uh i would say it's mildly alarming that the Trump administration is using its sanction powers to compel tech companies into taking its critics offline. First, the ICC's chief investigator says he was blocked from his Microsoft-hosted email after US sanctions. Now, this

Scrap the system completely and put that $8.2bn into the NDIS.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

Companies need to be regulated and punished. They knew exactly what they were doing www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

This from the ABS today shows so many people who want to work can't due to their own illness or injury or caring for others abs.gov.au/media-centre...

This sure won’t backfire when we get a hard right Government who decides any political party to the left of One Nation is a “terrorist group”.

And AI is amplifying every single one of these systemic biases.

Our public institutions have really just given up on having any backbone huh?

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...

Every time she comes up, I remind you all that Pamela Paul killed a pro trans paragraph in a review I wrote for the New York Times, lied about it in the press, then when I confronted her with receipts, said “Let’s keep this to ourselves.”

Who would like to write an exercise plan for a 37 year old who: - Already walks a lot (with his dog, 2x a day but also doesn’t have a car so walks everywhere) - Enjoys swimming but loses it over winter when it’s cold. - Has gained and lost weight a million times. - Is very ADHD. - Travels.

"People with a disability and Indigenous Australians are overrepresented in the data. About 33% of all suspensions affected those with a disability, and at least 26% of all suspensions affected First Nations people."

omg I’ve always wanted a button that can make me shit my own pants on demand and another button that cleans my pants but doesn’t actually clean my pants and then another button that makes my computer tell me I’m beautiful and that noone’s noticed that I’ve shit my pants

There is no world in which it’s appropriate for Australia’s public broadcaster to promote a gambling event. Insane this got past the idea stage let alone written and through editors.

I regret to inform you the delightful morning turned into a delightful afternoon at the pool.

I regret to inform you that it is a delightful morning.

Be careful out there everyone #spooky

This is fucking amazing

their target for a 26 week employment outcome for job seekers forced into this bullshit is so low (15%) and they can never, ever hit it. No matter how much they hit participants

What an iconic response

Euphoric rebellion (I suspect they don’t mean Pride in Protest’s kind of rebellion 😂)

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

What a surprise! Good to dig into the data though. Isn't that what sensible centrist types are supposed to do?

I used a conference panel to call a decent chunk of the comms/marketing industry shonks - but it was all in service of encouraging non-profits to not feel pressured into "this will solve all your problems" techbro nonsense! Nice to be back with community broadcasters @jbaucomms.bsky.social

Queensland’s controversial puberty blocker ban overturned by supreme court

Ooh this is a fascinating question - because I would say earlier in my career I had a very different vision of what “leadership” was. It was maybe more a classic hierarchical version of leadership, but over the years I’ve realised I can lead and support others by focusing on happiness.

Flood risk for homes story followed by a story about the industry that flooded an entire suburb to protect its racecourse 🫠

ICE is stockpiling weapons. It’s disappeared 170+ citizens. It’s gassed cops, arrested vets and shot priests in the head. It’s the personal army of a rogue POTUS—a fascist ex-con and rapist—and it’s masked, armed, nameless, faceless and insignia-less. It’s intended use is exactly what we fear it is.

Big “I don’t have a TV in my home” vibes from QANTAS

I connected the sewer to the water supply money pls 🤗

"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

Haircut. A swim. Powers restored.

Arming a foreign nation to bomb children: essential expenditure that must never be questioned. People with disabilities having access to cars: Unsustainable! Must be stopped! We can’t just throw money away!

You know things are bad when even OzBargainers (known for being the most petty, pedantic online Australians except for people on the Whirlpool tech forums) are mindlessly using AI and not realising how bad it is until after the fact)

Huge story here. Daniel had his payments illegally cancelled by the Mutual Obligations system. After years of bravely fighting, he exposed the error and won the backpay he was always legally entitled to

He SO should get compensation for the years of suffering they put him through

Turns out attacking migrants, poor people, people with disabilities, activists as a party of the “left” (centre right is reality - maybe even generous) just drives people to want the real thing.

When the Nazi group chat ruins your talking points

Farming starts with Critical Race Theory 😌 I don’t think this business thought through their target market right now 😂

The obligations were of course never mutual, why else would they need to call them that in the first place, but the Australian Government has totally abandoned the idea of compliant welfare administration on their side of things for too many years now & decided also to videotape their crime spree 👍

Got myself back up to 2kms! We’re getting back to it girls 🏊‍♂️

How convenient that the law is absolute and always applies when it’s in service of being cruel, but never applies when those people want to question or appeal that cruelty.

Imagine if we took Nazi behaviour as seriously as Nazi symbols.
