Did a new one

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Shame on Deloitte. Bigger shame on Govt for using them for core public sector work: $440k contract for rubbish: “Deloitte has admitted to using generative AI for a core analytical task; but it failed to disclose this in the first place.”

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

The Trump administration spent $167,000 to destroy $9.7 million worth of birth control and other contraceptives that were supposed to go to low-income countries. Imagine hating helping so much that you’d actually spend money just to make sure others don’t get help.

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

A little ditty I wrote

ICE Opens New Supermax Detention Center For Most Hardened Toddlers

Greens leader Rosalie Woodruff says her party will not back a Labor no-confidence motion in the Rockliff government when parliament resumes on Tuesday. #politas

Killing journalists. My @smh cartoon.

Press release from @withmeaa.bsky.social , that condemns btargeted attacks on journalists in conflict and war zones. I honour 🕊 Anas and Mohammed, #journalists assassinated in Gaza, along with the nearly 280 others brave frontline #Gaza correspondents, via www.linkedin.com/posts/activi... #auspol

Hahahhaaa every day a new one of these. It’s “all my apes gone” but somehow even funnier.

Very sad to hear about the death of David Dale. He established the long-time cult institution on the back page of the Sydney Morning Herald, the "Stay In Touch" column, with genius cartoonist Matthew Martin, where I subsequently got my my cartooning break. Inveterate trivia buff, foodie and friend.

even other cops call the 'public order' cops thugs.

Watching the #politas count unfold. Hat tip to the 19 voters who put Peter George first and Eric Abetz second. That's really voting across the ballot paper.

Siri, show me a perfect visual representation of the trajectory of generative AI.

The U.K. is a police state

And so a long night begins. #politas

From #RichardFlanagan “No nation-state, no matter the history of its people,has the right to mass murder and then expect of other peoples that they not speak of it. “

Any single part of this headline is mental. All together it's mind-numbing.

So I looked on YouTube to see a bit more, came up across this and you've got to jump to 7:10 for a good belly laugh: youtu.be/zKrJTidWUwU?...

Tasmanian election announcement expected shortly. Premier at Government House now. #politas

A reminder for the myopic, there's a bit more at stake here than a football stadium. #politas

I think a lot about how Aaron Swartz committed suicide while facing a probably long jail sentence for download some of JSTOR, but no one at Meta is going to face any repercussions for using all of Libgen to train its AI.

Tasmania spending so much on a billion-dollar stadium while its deficit grows shows the link between poor policy process and fiscal indiscipline, writes Bernard Keane.

Interesting article in the New York Times: Sports Stadiums Are Monuments to the Poverty of Our Ambitions. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/o...

Every single young Australian would need to order 4,888 t-shirts from Temu each year (13 per day) to match Woodside's current emissions. And to reach Woodside's maximum emissions estimates for the North West Shelf Extension? They would each need to order 214,571 t-shirts. #woodsideenergy

The space of a few years does tend to fade the memories of the election night rush.

One of the last things Papa Frank did was to make sure JD Vance knew the Pontiff thought him a heartless ghoul. RIP to a real one.

“It’s tragic when someone suffers this fate” said a representative for the Vatican, referring to shaking Vance’s hand. Read more: chaser.com.au/world/god-bl...

Killer article on the multiple tax breaks that have unfairly boosted oversized, polluting utes. Do-nothing-good-Dutton & Daily Terror of course outraged. Really we need to speed up our lax vehicle emission standards & tax the bastards off our roads & car parks

NEW: She’s one of the most widely quoted psychologists, but her pronouncements have begun disappearing from the internet. Could her persona be an elaborate hoax? As AI progresses, journalists face a “wake up call” over checking their sources. This story follows top @pressgazette.co.uk work:

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

Story. My @smh cartoon.

Australia Post and I have a different definition of "express" and whether "it's coming today" means the same thing as "it's coming tomorrow".

We've been too focused on "No stadium, no team" and not enough on "No berth, no ships". #politas

I saw a platypus in the rivulet on the way home, which is always a cheery moment.

Government admits seeking advice on whether it can bypass the process it put in place to bypass planning laws to build the stadium. Labor pledges to vote for the stadium no matter what. #politas

Sums it up nicely.

Solid turnout for the Collins Street bike lane meetings on Tuesday night. It was a good result for better, safer cycling options.

How do I deal with despair and tragedy? With humor. Sure, it is a trauma response, but aren't we all traumatized by now?

Public meeting in Hobart endorses council CBD bicycle lane trials in Collins Street. Three motions against the Collins St project were defeated. Around 800 people in attendance, many on bikes. #politas

Well this is awkward

Driving cars in London is a totally pointless activity and I hate it, says Top Gear presenter James May TV star has idea for Hammersmith bridge - and calls anti-cycling council ‘tw*ts’ www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

Devastated by this 💔
