A simple petition about something that *should* have been an easy choice for SBS. c.org/jMGW4DjY5T

A surprising one to turn up, but also a whole-hearted recommend from me too.

this is an accurate enough rap sheet but it still clings to the myth that biden's crimes stemmed from a botched effort to exert "leverage" over israel—rather than accepting the obvious reality, which is that biden was simply a willing and active participant in genocide

The rank hypocrisy of the stadium project remains both transparent and disgusting. Here's an example from the local paper today of the front cover and then the page 2 article.

Good Evening, "Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari" was an 11 month sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

What a great headline

The news has been coming so fast, I did another later which might not otherwise see the light.

Hey guys we need to raise your power bills again because the jackoff material factory needs more power to turn your mom and daughter’s pictures into pornography and we need you to pay for it

Good news: If you would like to watch Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants on YouTube I have done a painstaking 4k upscale of this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0gW...

It really needs to emphasised as strongly as possible: Do not eat Tasmanian farmed salmon.

Australians barely ever talk about the 1975 Constitutional Crisis, what gives??? In *living fucking memory*, the British Crown (and likely the CIA too, see above) interfered with electoral sovereignty, yet Australia still wants to build USA military bases and serve the Crown. Such loser shit.

It’s not just about what you remove (cars, noise, dirty air). It’s about what you add (people walking, a lot of bike parking, trees, outdoor dining, and room for kids to play safely). Amsterdam: 1986 and today. Streets for people. HT @hackneycyclist.bsky.social for the great before-and-after

People in the UK aren't getting transphobia from weird niche online communities. They're getting it from the prime minister, the BBC, politicians and the newspapers in every newsagents in the country.

Whitlam Dismissal take The greatest achievement of the Dismissal has been the crushing of the ALP’s ambition to actually bring a better world into being. Hawke sealed the deal by making the mark of success decent management of a capitalist economy. Now it’s just ambition to be in government.

An agency that can't competently exercise its exisiting powers should always be given more. It just makes sense.

So the fabled "Police intelligence" didn't extend to figuring out what a demo notice from an outfit called "White Australia" might involve. Interesting. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

John Laws is dead... (Checks the envelope I've just been passed) ...and the great man will be missed by all.

LET'S GO 🏳️‍⚧️

This is a good article, worth reading. Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one? The anti-smoking playbook is worth studying and learning from, and is completely applicable to oversized cars. Via @davidzipper.bsky.social in @vox.com #CarBloat

GenAI/LLMs have been built on the conscious and willful theft of labour literally anyone who has ever done anything online or that has ended online. As a global society it would be absolutely remiss of us to not punish this.

I will forever prefer a searchable ASCII document on GameFAQs to literally any fucking video or other guide content.

bluesky mods retire bitch

Cry me a fucking river.

I can't express how happy it makes me feel to see politicians who actually believe in things and will stand for them winning big.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Please check all that apply

You love to see it.

New awareness campaign

Epic added The Simpsons theme to Fortnite as a “Non-Union Re-Record” lmfao these people

Freyja Stokes, a real-life #Pratchett scholar, looks at Mrs Palm and the historical connections between sex work and witchcraft... come for the history, stay for some amazing puns. Read for free: www.speculativeinsight.com Please share widely!

Everyone should watch Alien Earth - not just because it's the best the Alien has been in some time. Because the sound mix on that show is beautiful. Every creak, drip, and hiss come through as you'd expect. But the dialogue is perfectly mixed - from a whisper to a shout, you can understand it all.

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

i've done it, i've found the most west virginia business on the planet

My hot traffic engineering take: More urban roadside objects should be fixed, immobile objects. Driver's shouldn't be hitting shit on an urban street at a speed where the object being fixed matters. If a driver is, that's a driver problem.

the car ticklers are not working

A big congratulations and well done to the beautiful nation of Ireland

This should happen to every robot car.

British Airways - fine with interviews of Nazis, apartheid supporters, bigots of all flavours, and all manner of criminals. But they draw the line at people who said mean things about an army conducting a genocide.

The majority of Germans probably felt no shame until they lost their expanonist war and realised the majority of the Western world despised their ideals. They could pretend ignorance, but what is happening in Gaza, the West Bank and the wider ME is, to our shame, blatant, unrepentant and genocidal.

Kids don't have shit now. They don't have appropriate websites made for them anymore, they can't hang out anywhere, they're getting priced out of games and toys, trading card games are a fucking speculator market now -- it's so fucking disheartening.

I am so sick of not dying in a wet bulb event, having arable land to supply food, and a home that isn't simultaneously flooded and on fire - so I am really chuffed with this announcement.

Calling myself a genAI thoughtleader on my resume because I tell everyone at the office it's shit, unsecure and they're not allowed to use it.
