Pretty much everyone in crisis comms is stealing a living

In a world of Lindsey Grahams, be the Sam Neill

Verify your age (engineering). I worked on 2:1 scale double-sided printed circuit board artwork laid out with blue and red tape, coloured Letraset decals and a scalpel.

Theranos seems like a plausible name for a DK character.

Little Creatures brewery here has six free chargers for patrons. Might have used them a few times.

Mmmm Diazo prints.

Oh and you’re going to need to give us cheap gas to burn and just leave the water running permanently thanks

If you don’t let us steal everything we’re not going to build our massive theft-recycling machines in your backyard

“As Tony Abbott – one of its main architects – explained in the conservative journal Quadrant … [the Ramsay Centre] would be ‘not merely about Western civilisation, but in favour of it’.” overland.org.au/2019/03/univ...

Silky, like a turd. Much like fake AI stuff.

The moment you privatise human services you guarantee abuses. Congrats John Howard www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The funniest thing about all the media coverage of the “crackdown on antisemitism in universities” is when you find out that the regulator for the crackdown is TEQSA www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Probably nothing to worry about...

in olden times, if people thought The Hobbit was hard reading we just never heard about it. now we’re forced to hear the opinion of every dumb chud, amplified

all 39 public universities via Universities Australia in fact adopted a working definition of antisemitism on 27 February 2025. The zionist gripe is that universities did not adopt the vague unworkable contradictory definition they want. universitiesaustralia.edu.au/media-item/s...

Imagine seeing this and thinking this bloke is in any way fit to serve as a Senator. The American gerontocracy visualised.

If you can afford to continually force-feed us 400 word dispatches from Adrian Chiles' descent into madness, you can afford Fiona Katauskas.

This but about a lot more things simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/10/...

“The for-profit provider Arcare is meanwhile facing a class action alleging Arcare illegally charged residents fees for services including high teas, hot meals and exercise classes, even in cases where residents physically could not use those services, for example due to health issues.”

“…not all of the data these devices collect is meaningful, sleep medicine experts said. And they add that people who use them obsessively — including those who seek optimal sleep, driven by wearables data — may be the least likely to benefit from them.”

Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man to understand. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/lindsey-kn...

“On the evening of Saturday, July 11, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham passed away from a brief and sudden illness,” the statement said. One would like to think it was the power of self reflection

Good f*cking riddance

Lindsey Graham won't see your post celebrating his death—but other ghouls making the world a worse place might, so hey go for it and post

On my phone, where there isn't an ad blocker, Reddit is a constant stream ads for AI. The use cases shown are nothing that anyone in my position would ever want to do. Reeks of desperation.

just a bad dream

Daniel Hannan has written an entire column earnestly arguing with a satirical candidate’s deliberately absurd manifesto.

My favourite thing is watching western governments having to recreate state owned utility companies decades after they sold them off in recognition of what a disaster privatised utilities are

I wonder if the energy company realises that you're about to do the energy compare thing when you download a year's worth of bills?

Operation Catapult, like how they used to lob cadavers to spread diseases?

Sarah Martin rubbishes Barnaby’s China conspiracy theory on Telstra’s outage & points to the real issue “Telstra was privatised”🎯 “Telstra has fundamentally failed in its obligations to the country, coz it has no obligations to the country, only obligations to shareholders” 💥

Sarah Martin is right. Albanese doing double entendres on podcasts is stupid AND misogynistic. Very telling that Greber and Probyn thought it was jocular and not ‘vote losing’. Very bad look for them when she called them out. Obviously they don’t get it. #insiders

Have ended up with the same insurer for car and house for several years now. Not sure if it's because we have a track record with them of being a good risk, or they are just the cheapest going, but quotes of recent times have been the lowest by some margin.

Pirate podcast doesn't have the same ring.
