If Israel has the right to issue (or deny) "permits" to work in Gaza, then they control Gaza. Which means that a large swathe of people under Israeli rule are not even considered citizens, let alone have a say in running the country ruling them. Israel is NOT a democracy (unless an apartheid one)

Microsoft in the latest update I've got has mapped the Alt-Spacebar keystroke THAT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE WINDOWS 3 to open Copilot. None of the instructions to undo the change work. I've used this shortcut for 30 years, but no, now it's Cofuckingpilot instead STOP FUCKING DOING THIS SHIT MICROSOFT

@profanity.accountant - do I swear much?

Nesting offences. My @smh @theage cartoon.

The #AFL would have to be the most tone-deaf sporting league in in the universe No one wants or needs "wildcard round". We already have eight out of 18 teams playing finals, there's no need for more The team finishing 10th is NEVER going to be competitive in finals, what's even the point in this?

Here's me. '“People aren’t buying their shit anymore”: They think they can make you forget what you’ve seen'

AI is not about making things easier for people, it's about breaking people's ability to think for themselves, allowing the companies running it to force feed opinions, which will be treated as facts by a compliant society. Show me that I'm wrong....

A lotta' talk about Trump and that Time Magazine cover. Sonething about a Neckgina. I just dont see it... I may go swim a dewlaps - may help.

No Kings? But Denmark has a king, and so does Norway, and Sweden and Spain. And the UK for that matter, as well as technically Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Japan Trump doesn't want to be king - he wants to be ruler for life of the Democratic Peoples Republic of America. Kim Don Un.

Just deleted a bunch of posts arguing with Zionists because it's just polluting my timeline. They're not worth my time. If you're a Zionist, feel free to block me, mute me. You can be supportive of Jewish people while saying that Israel is committing a genocide. It's not antisemitic to say so/

The problem is that we continue to fail at eating the rich.

I would have thought the biggest problem with this would be keeping up with the additional lies Trump adds continuously. Show would never finish.

Basil Zempilas continuing to show he is totally unfit to lead anything more challenging than a conga line. What's the correlation between public holidays and the state of the health system? Nothing, yeah Baz, you're utterly out of your depth. www.watoday.com.au/perth-news/w...

Here's my question of the day: How fascist or nazi does someone have to be before it's OK to say "you know something, this guy being dead is a net benefit to society"? When can you ask "why are people saying nice things about this guy" but feel somewhat OK about it because it's in their obituary?

One of my kids made me this for Father's Day Whatever else, at least the Dad Jokes are going well :)

Enshittification: noun: the act of carelessly and deliberately making something worse. Who did it had to be about digital platforms?

The only person we should be deporting today is the Israeli Ambassador. The Government's priorities are pretty fucked.

Yeah, Outlook is being real helpful here....

What's this? It looks like Trump has blown up the USA and is walking away.... if so, surprisingly accurate.

Should test that. The first two for instance, I'd happily see an obituary for.

So Bluesky has decided to remove @jamalzuhir.bsky.social who has been on here for well over a year, doesn’t spam and has only ever had one account so he was never removed before.

Pavlich to Sydney as CEO: that's one that came out of leftfield. #AFL

I don't want to install a fu**ing app to order something for lunch when I'm already online in the browser on my computer. Hell, I don't want to install an app even if I'm using my phone. It has a perfectly good browser.

Basil Z clarifying that he does not want to improve the WA Libs position in the near future.

@pivot-to-ai.com.web.brid.gy @edzitron.com Here's an interesting one - I clicked on a link on the Windows notfications to "See entire forecast" to look at the seven day forecast. This is where I ended up. This is not selling me AI, it's infuriating me with AI.

But Israel does....

Right now, I think that "regime" are both the least fanatical and least evil of the lot. Which is saying something.

How did the world get to a point where I'd actually be less scared of a nuclear weapon in the hands of an Iranian Ayatollah than I am of one in the hands of the President of the USA?

The most ironic thing about this whole "No Kings" thing the USA has going on right now is all the countries that actually have a King (or Queen) and aren't suffering a bunch of political convulsions despite that. The fact is Trump is being more like North Korea's presidents than any king out there/

Anyone who wants a bit of an antidote to the dark side of the world should follow George Penney for his special heartwarming anecdotes on life in Aotearoa NZ.

I saw this on the ABC. Is this not a very, very simple case of phoenixing? And if so, does that not mean the laws around that are really weak?

Unfortunately for Elon Musk, when you buy an American President™, they come with a no refunds policy, even if shown to be defective.

The Australian government believes in acting on climate change in about the same way that the Israeli government believes in peace.

But now we should just hand over everything to AI???

Post a robot that is not Star Wars or Transformers

Cleansed. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Pope Leo (bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Popplio...

Well it's a good sign that the religious right and MAGA types are lining up to scream about how much they don't like the new Pope.

Why aren't we at the point where we're asking the uber wealthy which they prefer out of "tax the rich" or "eat the rich"?

You know Gina, if you think you know so much, you can stand for Parliament and see how you go. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Losing the Voice referendum seemed to turn Anthony Albanese and his government into a bunch of quivering cowards - hopefully riding the anti-fascist wave into a massive election win can restore their spines. You've got the mandate @albomp.bsky.social. Stop panicking and govern with it.

Dickson decided after all...

Actually, I wonder if this makes Dutton a victim of climate change?

So... where were The Worst Australian when Dutton was planning on sacking 41,000 public service jobs? Cheering him on of course.

I selected mine from a bunch of randomly generated names when my old regular user name (usually Mr Q) got a bit fucked up by the QAnon cookers.

Are the Liberals still trying this policy to funnel the superannuation of young people to first home vendors? This policy will do exactly zero to help with housing affordability. It will simply push up the price of first homes yet again, but adding that people will lose their super.

I went into a cafe and asked for a Ralph Babet milkshake. The lady behind the counter said "Give me a break, I can't make them that fucking thick."
