Good riddance to Sandilands and well done Mad F Witches. Another one bites the dust

In the ever encroaching enshitification of the internet, I wonder how long before they turn off google and make you pay for AI instead? (given Sam Altman wants us to pay for intelligence like a utility).

If someone or some group appropriates someone else's art, without consent for their political benefit, the artist should be able to flood that groups' spaces with whatever content they choose in retaliation. #NewLaw

The Epstein Class Is Creating World War 3 and Profiting Off Our Misery thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

Why do I get the impression that Trump doesn't want to suffer the humiliation again of sacking "the bestest person for the job" and instead they'll be pushed into nothing roles and hidden.

The LNP hollowed it out using the same playbook the Tories used to nueter the BBC - from within. NewsCorp peeps behind the scenes, but kept the talking heads, slowly changed the tone, then the narrative. Not helped by paying key presenters millions who stopped walking in "our shoes" decades ago.

So the slow march of enshitification takes yet another scalp? I hope not, but I certainly won't be making the mistake made elsewhere of staying bound to a platform. Maybe Masto is the answer here?

So I'm pondering two options for pulling the rug on Meta. The first is the cold turkey option where I delete the accounts and bale out entirely. It has undue consequences, particularly because it's become the defacto comms platform for friends and family, but I'd find a way ... eventually. /1

I was today years old when I finally realised what a #skeet and #skeetup was! #PennyDropNeedsSomeOil

When the "allegations are always projections" crowd are the one's saying Iran was weeks away from using a nuclear arm against us, while their commanders are saying Trump is anointed by Jesus to start armageddon, yet have "no plan" for after the war, you have to worry about what is coming next.

A bit like how Iran has been within weeks of having nuclear bomb going back to ... 1990s.

Been sugvesting this for voting day in the US. Everyone stop working till they vote and watch how quickly they make voting easy (or move it to a Saturday).

Meet the new Ayatollah Khamenei, Just like the old Ayatollah Khamenei. Top stuff, everyone.

He's going to use the bomb isn't he?

I've long wondered what might trigger a global real estate collapse - Dubai becoming the most undesirable place to live for rich fucks, thus rendering property there worthless overnight, might actually do it?

This has been my strategy ever since JB HiFi started removing it from stores. The inevitable "end of physical media" is nigh, so I've been trawling Vinnies to snap up bargains. Soon it'll be streaming or nothing so I've picked nothing. Fucked if I'm putting coins in these fascist tech bro pockets.

I've sadly reached this #LifeAchievement on a number of occasions and I fully endorse this suggestion.

I wonder how many Libs have reflected that, had they maintained the centre-right and followed the lead of European countries around Climate Change, they'd likely now have a strong female leadership team who instead ended up as teals?

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

#CancelAUKUS We can’t hand sovereignty to the US. Their military is currently bombing Venezuela, threatening Iran, murdering people in boats and doing nothing about Russia. These are not actions we can subscribe to, let alone assist with. @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social

Dr Assal Rad— "This seems like something news outlets should report. "Western headlines: 0"

"If someone's liberation bothers you, then you likely benefit from their oppression." Australia benefits from Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza and its violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Our govts and mainstream news media support oppression. 😔 #auspol #FreePalestine

As I did with Twitter when Musk took charge, I'm deleting my Tiktok account now that it's in the hands of the fascists. I hope you'll join me because apparently the only way these c%nts learn is by grabbing them by balls.

No matter what they tell you 😏

This is brilliant & hilarious!

Especially when the "charity" = tax deduction..

Fun how everyone treated this like fear-mongering hyperbole and chose not to take it seriously

If you sincerely believe Liberal or Labor represent you and what you want for your country then of course you should vote for them. If not, why not look a little closer at the independent in your seat, or the published policies of the Greens? It takes minutes. We can change the country. #AusPol

And this is why the Right is on the rise - not because they’ll help, they won’t - but because the Left hasn’t delivered either. Homelessness, poverty, inequality put us all at risk, not just those at the pointy end. We could fix it & we must. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is fascism.

i do not understand why journalists remain on Twitter, where the US government is almost certainly reading their DMs whenever they want

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

A tsumanic volume of copy has being written about Trump and his Executive Orders, as if he singularly has a machiavellian streak worthy of Lex Luthor. Yet probe him, and he characterises them wjth the depth of a 3yo learning about the Easter Bunny. Why is noone telling us about the masterminds?

I am often accused of being too emotional when reporting on politics - but I would rather have a human emotional response than pretend this is just 'reshaping US policy in the Middle East'. It's ethnic cleansing and the end of the rule of law. And the Australian government has said nothing

Remember when Trump swept into office amid promises to lower costs? Well...

I don’t fucking think so.

Amidst all the chatter I think it’s important to clarify that they’re not attacking DEI because performance or qualification standards of any kind are actually being lowered (they’re not), they’re attacking DEI because they are racist and sexist.

My latest article for The Shot. Please join me as we mercilessly mock Queen Gina, patron saint of global warming, and her merry gang of sycophants at something called National Mining Day . . . or as Gina would say, National Mahning Day. #drillbabydrill theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

You would think that the first public reaction from the president after a horrific air crash would be to offer sympathy to the victims and their families, not to wonder why they didn't move out of the way.

Real men don’t whine. Maybe someone needs to re-explain what ‘man up’ means—because absolutely nobody respects a guy who complains non-stop… or his tragic perm. Less than a week ago, he told Joe Rogan how masculine he was. Fake fact?

Trump has so far blamed the deadly DCA plane crash on Barack Obama, Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, Pete Buttigieg, the 2020 election, and diversity. No evidence was provided.
