Completely accurate assessment. No notes. 10/10.

Excellent gig last night watching Pulp at the Myer Music Bowl. Common people was transcendent.

Why did Dan Andrews do that?

It must be nice to be a sociopath, because all the new products are for you. The smart glasses will give you that woman’s address, the betting apps will finally let you make bank on war crimes.

Now more than ever, you don't have to be cutting and pasting batshit posts that you have seen over on That Other Site and also, for fuck's sake, get off That Other Site, again, now more than ever

I don’t think Albo is really a misogynist. But I think he can’t think on his feet. He shouldn’t be let out without a minder — and never to a News Corp event.

a reddit post went "what 3 items would you bring through the checkout to freak out your Walmart cashier" and while most of the answers were pretty standard (rope, gasoline, and disposable gloves! 2 big cucumbers and crisco!) the one I still think about was "1. doughnuts. 2. donut holes. 3. glue"

Say what you want, but the LNP is absolutely focussed on society's greatest challenges! www.9news.com.au/national/gro...

this would never happen

Everything makes sense now

Is this even satire?

This is the second time I have seen this take and I am still struggling to think of a uni marketing campaign that I have seen which was bluntly about earning more rather than self discovery or being part of change. This doesn't help and feels like "look what you made me do" discourse

Maybe we shouldn't put the AI in email

For sale: baby shoes. So fuckin worn. This baby ran everywhere fast as shit

No context or explanation required.

Found a dating site driven mostly by music taste, which is fun. Hopefully you can reorder the bands you like though.

first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

The Free Press is discovering new levels of Telling On Yourself that scientists previously thought could not exist

Any chance to repost this classic Busta Rhymes moment

when the creators of Idiocracy set out to imagine the dumbest possible future, even they didn’t anticipate that there would be this much Kid Rock

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

2026 basically

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

ACAB except for people who arrest academics for having more of a comment than a question

The people of Bluesky genuinely do not give a fuck about attracting more people to the site or ass-kissing journalists and personalities to come here. This is largely a group of countercultural progressives who are fucking tired of the very status quo people who come here to complain.

So after a white guy threw an explosive device into an Invasion Day rally, I assume the PM will appoint a Special Envoy to Combat Racism Against First Nations People, there will be calls for a RC, and white Christians will be called upon to deal with extremist elements in their community, right? 🤷‍♂️

Oops

Me: I'm giving up using Microsoft Office until Easter. Him: How do you think that's gonna go? Me: It will be Excel Lent.

Recommend this relatively short survey about what resources could help meet accommodation needs. It took just a few minutes and asks thoughtful questions about how things could be improved

Um.. well... www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I suspect that universities have bought this on themselves to an extent by not fighting these cases but also the students and lawyers involved are loathsome.

I made intentional slop this week. The goal: to examine, critically, the emotional charge of ChatGPT 4o’s “breakup texts” to users ahead of its shutdown. Rendered as AI pop music, the toxicity and manipulation of those who see 4o as a companion is clear. mail.cyberneticforests.com/chatgpt-brea...

A friend asked me if I have the terms of reference, meeting minutes and other structure documents from a committee that I was on in 2016 - 4 jobs ago. Pfft, of course, I have a whole folder. It's not hoarding if it is on a computer.

This is blackout poetry to me

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

Little sad that we won't see two years of Ruddesque white-anting from Ley. #LibSpill

Fantastic, great move, well done Angus I miss following these things on Twitter. #Libspill

David Speers: "Is Angus Taylor a Robert Menzies?" Fantastic, great move, well done David.

Is it just me or has there been a huge surge in the number of interruptions to tasks online? It was never perfect but lately every. single. time. I try to undertake a task or read something or open an app I first have to deal with some pop up or offer to get AI to do it for me. Focus destroying.

“This service is very obviously not about finding your lost dog.”

Ring ADDED it and is calling it a 'Free' feature For 'lost pets' Means AI is recording all the time and AI is scanning and storing Pets People Vehicles License plate readers scan and store: License plate Vehicle model, color, stickers, decals, dents, dings and scratches - stores for 10+ YEARS
