Australia had “Stop the boats” and now American ChatGPT brainrot has turned it into “Stop the baby boats, captained by communist baby monsters”

Weird how twitter became the largest producer of CSAM in human history and legacy media just moved on from that but sure smugness is bad too

2 absolute WHOPPER quotes from data centre developers #1 is from Digital Realty, a massive data centre developer Just....soak this one in. Absolutely stunning "This year was the worst winter in the history of my home state, Colorado. It breaks my heart and now I’m developing 10 gas plants"

Awful, unethical and cruel decision from Meta. Promote an accessibility feature, tout your accessibility credentials and that you “care” about people with disabilities, hook people with disabilities on your product…and then paywall the feature after the fact. Shameful. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is why Kate Forbes was unfit to be First Minister and why those who still go out to bad for her are fundamentally awful people. I, as a gay person, have absolutely every right, as do our allies, to decide that your views on *my fundamental humanity, rights and dignity* are of utmost revelance

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Affogato birthday cake with the boys for my birthday ❤️

Three eight! My life partner Sprocket trying to steal my birthday breakfast 😤

Also why is the BBC still reporting on pop culture nonsense from the Nazi website? The public will find this interesting does not = the public interest and public broadcasters should have higher standards.

We get this stupid attitude in video games too where “value” is debated based on playtime, rather than the art or effort or skill. It’s so stupid and reductive www.bbc.com/news/article...

Monash University recorded a 2025 surplus of $580 million but is asking for donations

Monash is asking for $50k in donations for students struggling to get by.

Charging people with disabilities more and expecting them to be grateful - what a disgrace Uber www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

It’s my birthday week and I love any excuse to see the people I love and who care about me. I’m very lucky. But also it’s bittersweet. Like Christmas, the grief pangs just randomly hit around these times and I just wish I could hear their voices. I miss those phone calls.

“I may not have healthcare, but I have 300 cereal options”

As I said on the podcast, these insecure posts that so desperately need to prove America's worth feel very "it's ending" to me

Finally cracked and I’m trying Ecosia on my iPad as the default search engine. Google is just completely useless now. Please let me know any other recommendations.

Much less annoying than AI voice cloning, but I’m noticing YouTubers pre-recording their voiceovers, WAAAAYYY over producing their voices but then lip synching on video (and doing a bad job). I just…want to hear your normal voice 😭

omg the wealthy really are the hugest sooks. Even if property prices go down and their investment property sells at a loss, that loss offsets their other capital gains tax liability duotax.com.au/insights/cap...

YES. This whole idea that we’re going to beat fascism with a battle of “facts” is as good as handing them the keys. An irrational addiction to rationality from the centre basically expects humans to not act like humans. Then blames them for not acting like perfect rational units of society.

Good piece from @drbenjaminjones.bsky.social. Fact checking One Nation is shooting fish in a barrel. The facts don't matter, it's the emotional claims which make her a success. My take: Progressives should follow the model of Mamdani in NY and build a hopeful, cross racial coalition.

Shout out to the European Data Centre Association for saying out loud what they're working towards

Did I pre-emptively trade up to a higher memory, higher storage laptop knowing this was bound to happen? Thank god I did www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The majority of Australian tv channels only hire guys that look like this

Telling that the Sydney Morning Herald/Nine only considered qwhite the choice of candidates.

They said it was impossible for the Victorian Liberals to get messier, but gosh darn they put their best minds in the case and found a way www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

You might remember that Elon asked the UN for a plan to eradicate global hunger and when they produced a highly-detailed plan in front of them he ghosted.

Locking kids out of the cleaning cupboard threatens to hold them back from drinking delicious bleach: WaPo board.

Sometimes it feels like Guardian UK and Guardian Aus are completely different universes. I can’t picture Guardian Aus doing a sob story for Albo like this. How can you be so disconnected from your readers and community to frame Starmer as the victim?

in the LGBTQIA+ movement at the moment we're really struggling with huge, incredibly well-funded christian conservative organisations from the US funding legal battles in Australia designed to strip us of our rights - we've seen it with Sall Grover and the Giggle v Tickle case for example

It's time to talk about the loveable Aussie larrikin to creepy conservative weirdo pipeline

every time you see a headline that begins with “we have to,” replace the “we” with “you” and you’ll immediately understand the purpose of the piece and the power dynamics at play

As these political parties make the rich richer, worsen inequality and make the cost of living worse, they distract themselves and their political base with these horrific vendettas. Cruel, retributive and racist.

Banning tobacco advertising was one of the most effective public health measures we’ve ever implemented. Now Meta actively encourages you to search for branded reviews of cigarettes with Meta AI helpfully informing you of the “full-bodied bold tobacco flavour” of a “limited release”.

Amazing how private schools rorting funds intended to improve the lives and wellbeing of disabled students gets turned into a sob story about them being “stripped” of funding.

Gonna take a wild guess that the record company didn’t want to pay for a real photographer’s actual photo, so turned it into AI slop to avoid paying them 🫠

See the thing about our “both sides” world of media and journalism is we only get a distillation of a centrist + hard right perspectives. “Mixed reaction” is a mixed reaction of the loudest vested interests.

No shit Sherlock.

Can't stop getting mad whenever I see that nine article sanewashing Hanson. Like buddy she's racist, her voters are racists, the whole damn country is racist. That's what's going on! She's a mirror! It's not some big mystery!!!!!! She doesn't have some unknowable quality!!!!!!!

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband

KPMG made $114 million from 149 contract amendments on top of their initial $73 million in head contracts in this financial year, Austender data shows. This means KPMG made more money from government contract amendments than from initial contracts it secured (as of 5 June 2026).

What does it tell us that the consultancies selling “Responsible AI” advice and training for business and Governments are incapable of responsibly using it themselves? www.inc.com/georgia-fear...
