My latest article in The Shot After spending obscene amounts of taxpayer's money on luxury travel, office refurbishments and airfares from their homes to their Canberra office, I examine the high price Australians have paid so far for an impotent NACC #auspol #NACC theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

Gen AI directly affects creators. I know it's tempting to make a quick meme, or use it to construct an image to fit the moment. But it's ruining artists' lives, and all it can do is mash regurgitated and stolen creations together. Please think about it before you generate, you're killing us.

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

Imagine if Iran had returned Australians to us, tortured and sexually assaulted - there would have been international outrage. But it was the state of Israel that did it ..so the media caravan moves on. The latest”Truth Lies & Media” is live!⚡️ Apple & Spotify🍎 Promo Match Frame Editing #auspol

The web has always been free and open. AI is a grift by rent-seeking billionaires. They aren’t remotely the same and anyone comparing the two is a useful idiot to billionaire propagandists.

The longer you look at this, the worse it gets

A "piece that was killed" is something we hear over and over again working with press promoting Dreams on a Pillow, not just now but across the years. In some cases the content had been fully written & was pulled right before or even after publishing. In others, it never was allowed past concept.

Folks, give a warm welcome to Australia’s national broadcaster @news.abc.net.au who are doing the right thing and migrating away from toxic Twitter and posting more on BlueSky. Great to see that ethics and integrity are of higher priority than follower numbers. Give them a follow!

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

A true legend turns 100. We all owe Sir David for inspiring so many people to care about the natural world. And we’re particularly grateful for his support of the #kakapo and #takahe recovery programmes. You couldn’t meet a more enthusiastic - and humble - great man. #conservation #attenborough

NEW: I’ve written a call to arms. Journalists are being murdered in unprecedented numbers by a Western ally that operates with total impunity. Enough. Publishers & editors have failed us. But if we can’t speak up about this, what is journalism even for? open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

I suppose mass brain damaging a generation is the logical escalation of existing neoliberal deskilling policy; there's nothing more dangerous than a population of workers who read, think, and communicate, so everything about society must be geared to prevent them from gaining those skills

Let me get this straight, *journalists* have been told by Nine to use the plagiarism machine that can’t even keep the facts it’s stolen straight?!? Are you kidding me? Where ethics go to die 💀

Meanwhile, the international press is using Israel’s fake language & euphemisms. These are all headlines from the international media. It’s not a ground operation’ or a ‘security buffer zone’. It’s an INVASION. These are war crimes. 2/

Happy First Contact Day my friends! Star Trek is a gift that brings joy, laughter, and sometimes heartbreak. Through it, I've met some of my best and closest friends, and I couldn't be more grateful. Enjoy the day, watch some Trek, and as always - Live Long and Prosper :)

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected".

Be careful folks, today is April Fool's Day, which means that the internet will be rife with misinformation and posts designed to deceive. Don't worry though, tomorrow we will be back to normal, and the internet will be rife with misinformation and posts designed to deceive.
