Remind me again who or what the AI bandwagon is good for? www.theverge.com/tech/951948/...

A bit of a good news story then? Maybe investing in things that create, instead of extracting, value may interest our protagonist as a policy failure is corrected. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Empathy for the folks whose travel plans got ruined; naught but an arched eyebrow at advocates of removing ‘regulation’ and ‘red tape’ … case study n+1 why regulation is needed: without regs, shitbags hurt people. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

1) ad targeting, not social, networks 2) problematic ontent should be penalised, not kids 3) tech resp to socialisation is dumb #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

How about a flat rate $1B tax (service charge? Successful exploitation fee?) on each billionaire each year? #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

watt is a twat Like wtf. Why not knock down a pokies parlour or something? #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

in a country as collectively wealthy as Australia, that this happens is utterly gross. We treat the wealthy with kid gloves as babies go hungry until a normal person with heart can’t not help. Fucken pull yer heads out. #auspol www.reddit.com/r/australia/...

There is going to be a LOT of bullshit about trusts. So let's keep our eye on the ball. Bugger all people use them. But millionaires do and they get a LOT of income through them And they do that because they can avoid paying tax.

Yeah nah. Tho the creepy Sam Altman photo is absolutely perfect for the story. #chatGPT #finance #lol gizmodo.com/chatgpt-can-...

No, they won’t. Thanks, Scott, ya doofus. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

This is an EXCELLENT idea. Also, if you’re a white player who plays for these states, you’re racist. Transfer somewhere else.

fuck it, we live!

On the train to Kiama, just came across a most delightful line: Polluted water democratically distributed cholera… P.287, Daughter of Fortune, Isabel Allende.

They are either hiding something or they are simply arrogant and in either case do not deserve their roles “serving” NSW. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I'm consistently impressed that Wired and Ars Technica continue to do great tech reporting despite being owned by Conde Naste. The duo's reporting basically killed the tech industry's covert effort to neuter a popular Colorado law making it easier and cheaper to repair your own tech:

My car's manual was looking rough, so I ordered a new one through Perfect Books. Proving that if I can get a 1974 Super Beetle manual from an indie bookstore in Ottawa, there really is no need to give your money to the Indigo, Amazon, etc. of the world.

if we use a framing of moral worth that describes virtue in part as a function of how difficult it is for you to work (a modest reïnterpretation of 'how hard you work'), a disabled person doing their level best deserves more treats than the median ablebodied person who can phone it in every day.

Orbán mattered for Australians. Tony Abbott is Andrew Hastie’s mentor. They’re both on Christofash ARC board in UK. Hastie might be our PM. Last week Tony Abbott sat on a Budapest panel with this creep from Heritage Foundation, Claremont. Stripping women’s equality. #Auspol youtu.be/EOu9Fby4pro?...

Surprise? Commercial health care has a role, but it does not seem to be in maintaining effective services to the community. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

“government-mandated transfer of wealth” Yup, that’s when ‘the market’ moves money somewhere and we need it somewhere else for something more important. You can call it whatever you want, but do it. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

rich woman makes speech about groups being targeted, ignoreforgets the first group so attacked… Way more dollars than sense. #auspol www.theguardian.com/business/202...

"Astroturf groups have two main goals: they can function to confuse the debate over matters crucial to the public’s wellbeing, or they can distract by ginned up moral panics often directed at some vulnerable group." Lucy has the receipts on who they are and what they focus on. #auspol

"The real effect [of AI] was not the eradication of millions of jobs, but a more subtle and pernicious transformation of work and workplaces to reduce the leverage of workers and shift that power even further to their bosses."

Yeah right; NDIS is what, less than 20% of the cost of the supposed submarines. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Happy National Library Week! 💙📚

this is infuriating and inspiring simultaneously www.techdirt.com/2026/04/21/y...

in a sense I AM sacrificing something, maybe my job, to stop this garbaggio so similar but less fash

NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK "Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

Konrad Benjamin nails the root of the problem: to stop large industries from ripping us all off, politicians need to stop “going to work in the industries that they literally wrote the rules for”🔥 Rules that as Dr Denniss points out, see gas co’s “pay more in PR than PRRT”💥

How about we sort the real crims instead of letting robots defund people’s ability to shower and stuff, Jim? #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

I’d suggest ANY medical practioner advertising on social media is likely a grifting quack and should be summarily ignored. Not every one, mind, but a likelihood much >0. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.
