The laugh is that they weren't a trustworthy source before they used GenAI. Imagine pissing all that money up the wall just to go sideways on incompetence.

Queensland, but with snow.

More of this, please. (Looking at you, Albo)

Well, so much for photographing the Aurora this far North.

Giving the Nazis days of nation-wide headline media coverage every time they do a ten minute photo op is not a good way to get them to stop doing photo ops.

Just done writing summat. Anyone want to see it?

Hey, @albomp.bsky.social - this okay by you? If not,what do you plan to do about it? Is it going to take mass executions live on TikTok to get you off your lazy arse?

A reminder - governments *can* do things. A progressive government *should* do things. A better country is possible. Governments *choose* what they do (or do not do). #ThePoint #Gough thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

Good question for the Rusties.

So, this turned up in my Ea-Nasir feed.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

In the context of studies showing how gas exports displace renewables in importing countries, the idea is even weaker. Not to mention a cynical view of the world to begin with. Imagine the argument in other contexts: if I don't supply tobacco to children, someone else will just fill the gap

We can add human trafficker to Albaneses portfolio.

It’s interesting how much the IDF’s constant ceasefire violations in Gaza and Lebanon line up with the way people familiar with Israeli culture say Israelis like to test everyone’s boundaries to find out exactly how much they can get away with. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israel-con...

It seems like if enough people tell this govt 'you're harming ppl & it's illegal' they eventually say, 'oh no...' and set about making it legal

Private job agencies are an absolute rort and only exist to monitor and punish unemployed people. Abolish the lot. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

In the genocidal rogue state of Israel: - state-sanctioned torturers and rapists are heroes - whistleblowers are persecuted and prosecuted - the rule of law has broken down. But still no sanctions, @albomp.bsky.social ? #GazaGenocide #auspol

So with a massive parliamentary majority and poll numbers like this how much better does it have to get for Albanese before he actually does any real reform? #auspol

I need everyone to understand that these arrests are getting more violent because it’s entertainment

china should step up to fund SNAP as aid to a developing country

Personally, I think his worst offence was brokering a deal between the developers of the Oxford Covid vaccine and Astra-Zeneca, because intellectual property matters more to this shit-heel than human welfare. bsky.app/profile/jiga...

A small Lofoten tourism group announces they're shutting down their guides and possibly going bankrupt thanks to the loss in revenue from chatbots that steal and rephrase their content None of this shit is inevitable. Fuck the slimy tech bros. www.instagram.com/p/DPyRB-tDBf...

Probably the most ridiculous moment of my year - when turning my mobile phone off and then on again fixed the "battery won't charge" problem.

Another night of thinking "shit, but I wouldn't mind dancing a tango or two tonight." A bit difficult in these here parts.

Nuts to see the widespread media backpatting of Albanese after he ensures Aus critical minerals will be - Shipped to a country that'll use them for weapons and AI slop data centres instead of for the energy transition - Extracted in an env toxic way thanks to the deregulation promised in the deal

The Australian state, whether Labor or Liberal is in power, exists to preserve this country as a fossil fuel exporter, a base for America to project its waning military power in the Pacific and as a tipping ground for US pop culture trash. We need a left populist independence movement.

#auspol when Australians voted for Labor, they assumed they would get a left wing, progressive party with socialist ideals. You know, like a workers party. Like a Labor party. What we got was a more media savvy version of the LNP.

I didn't have the means to get a higher education, and I've never been happy about it. The fact that someone who had the privilege of going to law school is doing this shit, instead of actually using the education I couldn't access, really burns me up.

"King" isn't spelt "C U N T".

The plan for OpenAI is to promise to replace all of labor with a perfect substitute made of capital, use that absurd promise to buy a bunch of data center hardware with the power of finance, and then go bankrupt when the music stops.

Economists dumb down their work to a false or overly simplistic dichotomy and then complain everyone's response to their work is dumb and simplistic. Here's another example

🤣

Why is Albo so spineless where the US is concerned? It’s worrying, because he is selling us out at a great rate. #auspol

Punishing job applicants for something fully outside their control, like the decision of a company to hire them or not out of thousands of qualified applicants, is exactly the same as punishing someone for eg: how many people walked past their house today. It makes you a fucking inhumane monster.
