I specifically requested no more metaphors

FTR: It's unmentioned, but 'You're The Voice' was first (?) adopted as a (mock) protest anthem in 2000 during protests in Naarm/Melbourne vs. the WEF Asia-Pacific summit; The Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (UK) was infiltrated by #SpyCops. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

What they also don’t understand is that just because we have empathy does not mean we won’t use violence on them to drag them into their graves. I have extreme empathy and extreme rage. I can use both at the same time. Also his book is so bad.

Daily Memo: ICE Is Detaining People Who Show The “Know Your Rights” Red Cards It appears that ICE sees "Know Your Rights" cards and makes the immediate assumption that people trying to use the cards are undocumented. They have essentially become little red targets. lataco.com/know-your-ri...

lord, give me the strength to endure another week where the media discuss the CGT changes with the intensity of a terrorist attack while a third of the country struggle to afford food

**aaarrrghhh** so the cuts to essential support for disabled people and families don't rate anywhere as political cost, but the few folks finally having to pay a fairer share do www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Reuters: U.S. JURY FINDS BOTH SAM ALTMAN AND ELON MUSK "HUGE FUCKING NERDS" IN SHOCKING COURTROOM DECISION, RECOMMEND DEATH PENALTY DESPITE LEGAL BARRIERS

my natural schadenfreude at elon musk eating shit is being tempered by the fact that the beneficiary is sam altman

Thus, he who values the world as himself can be entrusted to govern the world; he who loves all others as himself can be entrusted to serve the people. Tao te ching

I am once again back in court. we are doing remedies while the jury deliberates. I don't expect to be posting much today because expert testimony is pretty boring, but to the extent that anything interesting happens, I will be posting here www.theverge.com/tech/917225/...

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

'He says his physical injuries, which included a bruised lung & the broken ribs, took between eight & 10 weeks to heal. “Psychologically, that’s a different story,” he says. “I don’t know how that will play out.”' A smol price to pay to ensure Social Cohesion™. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I can't emphasise enough how important the submission by my brother @timhollo.bsky.social to the ill-conceived Royal Commission on Antisemitism is. The lateral antisemitism from fellow Jews is something Tim & I have dealt with for a long time, even before either of us used the term "anti-Zionist".

Elon Musk threatened civil war in the UK and has sponsored the far-right operating here and rather than doing anything about it you still use it as your primary communication platform. Never mind the child sexual abuse images that the platform itself created and you also did nothing about.

Show me the rental. I want to see this unicorn www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

I don't want to eat the rich, they would taste awful.

Can't say I'm shocked that Jacobin is doing LLM apologia, but there it is. (The point of a national moratorium is to prevent the kind of NIMBYism of the wealthy this article decries and the drive for more compute is not customer demand but shareholder hype)

Happy #ANZACDay!

Can't run a corrupt government with a competent anti-corruption body. Right Albo?

obsessed with the 17yo who gave an innuendo-laden speech nominating his friend for student council and not only led his friend to victory with 90% of vote but was himself voted graduation speaker. when school admin didn’t allow it he took them to the supreme court AND WON! you gotta read the speech

I'd rather people not attribute Hungary's election results to Vance. Citizens have worked hard for years to unseat Orban, it's wrong to belittle their efforts.
