Trying to provoke both a world war and Civil War at the same time while demanding a Nobel peace prize is a level of insanity that might never be matched

A timely reminder to you all that at one point the Iranian nuclear program relied heavily on one Doc Brown and his Delorian. #iran

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

‪Albo perfectly OK with international law being repeatedly broken. Dickhead. #auspol

I’m sure USAID has got this… oh, wait.. #fucktrump

Sure hope the USA and Israel are ready to take in all the Iranian refugees they’ve just created.

Australian media isn’t covering this but what’s happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cuba’s last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, it’s getting worse.

Minns thinks police wielding powerful rifles in public is what the people want. Tell him he is wrong. #auspol

Or maybe, making sure people can afford housing, health care and basic necessities, are able to form community by not having to constantly move and are ensured financial security in one of the richest countries on earth might do it? How’s leaning right going for UK Labour? 🫠🫠🫠

More reason to loathe big consultancy firms I guess? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Great bunch of news stories this morning, telling us the system is working as designed. 1. Aged care system declines/delays assessments and provision of assistance sometimes long enough that people die waiting. 2. Pet insurance isn’t worth the cost in premiums. 3. AI steals your voice then your job.

As a former boxer Tony Abbott has been punched in the head too many times and yet not enough times.

Fun Fact: That you can’t mount a leadership challenge whilst being a member of the frontbench is why they call it “backstabbing” #auspol

What if Australia simply hadn’t invited Herzog? #auspol

Australia Post believes in science so much that they’ve found a way to apply the heisenberg uncertainty principle to parcel delivery. Bless.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Vale, Jon Kudelka. And as always, Fuck Cancer.

So apparently soon I could face up to TWO YEARS in jail for political art that says “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” if someone "takes offence". This is what Crisafulli is proposing in QLD. Acceptable speech is narrowing in real time. And it's fckn terrifying.

Who wants to FOI all documents related to the decision to invite Herzog? #auspol

Disgraceful this genocidal asshole is allowed to come here, let alone marked as a “major event” and afforded massive police action at huge cost to taxpayers. “The standard you walk past is the standard you accept” et al. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Do me, and probably most of the rest of the planet, a favour by please not posting about the Superbowl on Sunday/Monday. Stop letting sports distract you from the shit happening in your country. Boycott the Superbowl. #nfl #superbowl

Last year, for the first time, alcohol and gambling companies, and their lobby groups, donated more than $5m to the major parties. Looks like they are getting a reasonable return on their investment.

Maybe Penny Wong could ponder whether someone associated with a genocidal regime is the appropriate person to come along to mourn a mass murder. The reason for a person coming do not erase who that person is

It's gone too far for "sensible" compromise the only acceptable response is to disband ICE entirely. Any rational opposition party would take a hard line, but not this spineless lot.

We moved in the Senate for the Albanese government to withdraw the invitation to Israel’s President Herzog to visit Australia. He has literally signed bombs used in the genocide in Gaza. Labor, the Liberals and One Nation joined together to vote it down. That tells you everything

Sick and tired of the media beat up about One Nation. How about the MSM does some actual reporting on how batshit crazy what little “policies” that party has are? We’re experiencing extreme weather exacerbated by climate change, and this is their position: www.onenation.org.au/climate #auspol

If it turns out the island was actually Trump’s… what then? #epstein

Is anyone really surprised at this stage?

It turns out that the Devil’s greatest trick was getting conservative American voters to repeatedly vote for the pro-sex trafficking party.

Long thread but worth it. #AI #training

What’s a Bovine Gregory? Is it edible?

@albomp.bsky.social When are we going to get a SmartTraveller warning for the USA? Their government is executing their own citizens in broad daylight. #auspol

I read something on LinkedIn yesterday about how structured training in ICT is dead (due to rate of change). We used to have a higher quality threshold, this constant race to ship crap removes the system engineering aspect which used to support learning, development and quality. Shittification.

Good, we need to see more of this.

The hate groups provisions in the hate speech bill are deeply flawed. They still exclude advocating genocide from the definition of hate crimes, and they will be open to misuse to target peaceful activist groups because of political influence. They shouldn't be passed into law in their current form.

It hasn’t yet integrated into any *critical* infrastructure I’m aware of, but has added to the ‘enshittification’ of tech. If we push back against the hype generated by those (self interested parties) who peddle it, I’m confident it will find reasonable use cases, but nowhere near matching the hype

“The art of the deal”

As ever, the letter-writers bring the wisdom. We have a crisis of leadership at so many levels, and you only need to look at theocratic and repressive states to see that harsh, arbitrary rules and punishment do not make a society safe or harmonious.

Damn. Mass unprecedented flooding without warning on Vic’s Great Ocean road: m.youtube.com/watch?v=w3go...

I have had it with Parliament rushing shit laws through. There's absolutely no reason any legislation needs to pass within days. Not everything can be fixed with legislation and politicians need to grow the fuck up. #auspol

“In non-Japanese Collector Boosters, Japan Showcase cards will always be in English.” Finally! #mtg #magic #collector

Increasingly clear this bill should be voted down. Nothing this extreme should be rushed through parliament like this, especially when the genesis is just to appease pro-Israel lobby. Looks like the Coalition won’t support, so question is will Greens reject or cave as usual and bail out Labor.

Want to make a submission into the inquiry on the "Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill that was released yesterday? You got till 4pm Thursday (ie TOMORROW) That is quite disgraceful www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...
