I just had a consultation for continuing a sleeve and my client allows me to incorporate a mycalesis caterpillar into the design!!!! The dream to put weird critters on everyone!

Pretty data <3

The citation crisis ("you mean you guys read the sources you cite?"), like the replication crisis, exists because academia has been neoliberalised to death. The pressure to publish to keep an academic job is absurd and the metrics are unbelievably crude — that's why we're here.

1/2 The wonderful Loud Jew Collective has been designated not Jewish enough to speak at the Royal Commission, so it’s on us to spread their media release. The RC is promoting the establishment messaging and silencing dissent. Please share this. #Auspol

This shit is so inescapable in 3d printing stuff and its so rancid it makes it hard to ever recommend it to people. That said there is this one amazing creator that does incredible equal opportunities pinups and it delights me every single time I think about it.

Every now & again I think I'll subscribe to Crikey. Then I see this kinda thing & don't follow thru @warwicksmith.bsky.social explains why the federal budget is not like a household budget From 2014 (so just replace the scaremongers & shills with today's set) & everything substantive still applies

More than a week into the Royal Commission into Antisemitism, a disturbing pattern has emerged: testimony from Zionist lobby groups that routinely describes criticism of Zionism and Israel as antisemitic www.deepcutnews.com/p/what-weve-...

The interim Bondi report is a massive slap down for Jillian Segal. Not only does Commissioner Bell not blame protesters, she completely ignores Segal’s divisive recommendations & identifies Israel and the US as drivers of antisemitic attacks. Segal must resign. #auspol

Glad to have you here again!

Somewhere in there, an unresolved spaceship. Built by weapons maker Lockheed Martin and carrying people who genuinely want to bring hope to humanity. It is a complicated journey and an impressive feat of human ingenuity, a reminder of what we can do when we organize ourselves to do it. Godspeed!

Researchers should seriously consider the ethics and morality of which organisations and governments they accept funding from, even in contexts where it may mean less ambitious projects and outcomes.

It is actually a thing, in as much as there is 100% certainty that once we reach a certain scale, there are a number of very important things they can do that are impossible classically. The point at which we can do that is likely quite far off, but its a matter of when not if.

Hello new followers! If you thought the most recent post went a little easy on Curtis Yarvin may I present this aperitif from my post on neo-feudalism/medieval nationalism to whet your whistle: hetconned.substack.com/p/special-li...

I wrote about the 'Chuck Norris Facts' meme and how it was popularised offline by US soldiers in Iraq, touching on themes themes around war, hero worship, and the want for the world to be full of morally clear good vs evil situations, like the ones in Chuck Norris movies

as I said in my latest, the white guys at dropsite news are politically not great. they got good investigations but their actual politica are ... questionable at best. youtu.be/86Rk3eIPZi4

No idea why this is being reported as if its new, its from 2017. Best guess is that 2 sites repushed old articles to search indexers and someone got an alert about it, then regurgitated the old articles without even looking to notice that the publication date was listed as 2017... 🧪

I know this is 750% not the point but I like this idea of Aussie servicepeople watching on as shocked naifs completely agog as the USA do a big war crime. I feel like this isn’t the likely scenario for me. The energy I’m imagining is more in the vein of standing around watching a mate play COD

1. Kevin Gross and I have a new paper out today PLOS Biology. We used economic models based around screening games and the market for unpaid labor to highlight a meltdown cycle threatening peer review.

Over two decades, Labor and the Coalition have jointly built the legal architecture of a police state at the expense of democratic rights. Our new series, 'The making of Australia's police state', tracks how. www.deepcutnews.com/p/the-making...

we’re told to value cohesion right up until someone asks to be paid, housed, or listened to. as long as “social cohesion” is indistinguishable from “shut up and do what you’re told” the *only* moral response is to refuse.

Saying, publishing or displaying the phrases ‘from the river to the sea’ and ‘globalise the intifada’ will be punishable by up to two years jail under new laws set to pass in Queensland. www.deepcutnews.com/p/queensland...

Return to forums+IRC. This is the platonic ideal.

Muslim organisations and civil liberties groups have slammed NSW Premier Chris Minns after NSW Police threw punches, used pepper spray, charged into pro-Palestine protesters and forcibly broke up a Muslim prayer group outside Sydney Town Hall yesterday. www.deepcutnews.com/p/unfathomab...

The racism of Australian institutions is so off the charts that it doesn’t occur to a major newspaper to seek reactions from Palestinians to a visit from the president of the genocidal regime. Palestinians are simply non people.

Oh... oh no... This post on StackOverflow from 2011 may be related to why the MIME decoding is all messed up in the DOJ's released Epstein emails. stackoverflow.com/questions/79...

A (long) summary of others’ investigations into the well-funded international Islamophobia networks & Australian links, reflections. Palestinians are slaughtered because power elites have accepted the indoctrination. & Palestinians forbidden to mourn 😡 open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2... #auspol

The weekend might be a good time to catch up with this. The Right (formerly free speech absolutists) is crushing our speech, cultural treasures & protest rights bc they despise us. They despise Muslims even more than us “woke” irritants. Networked & funded hate. open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

In Albo's new antisemitism bill, the definition of "hate crime", which underpins the new regime to proscribe "hate groups" like the Nazis, specifically excludes "advocating genocide". That is, advocating genocide is treated as not being a racist hate crime. Now, why would that be?

🧪 seems like wildly irresponsible journalism at best, and wilful disinformation at worst, to post this, and not mention that all of the most strident criticism linked to is produced by "scientists" directly funded by plastics manufacturers and chemical companies.

MAGA: "NO ONE IS LAUGHING AT US NOW!" The rest of the world:

Hey everyone, please be very careful when using odourless thinners. They lull you into a sense of non-toxicity. Thinners are usually toxic, and many oil paint pigments will seriously damage your health. I use very stinky thinners to remind me to open windows and mask

there is no link between Palestinian authors, Palestinian activism, or Palestinians and the Bondi massacre, and if you believe there is you are either extremely stupid or evil or (most likely) both

Meanwhile ... UN Human Rights report finds Israel is an apartheid state michaelwest.com.au/un-report-is...

Many people are saying 2+2=5, and who are we to judge if they’re right?

What’s the point of writers’ festivals — or, for that matter, writers — if they can’t discuss issues that matter? Australian arts administrators would rather destroy the whole sector than allow Palestinians to speak about genocide. It’s beyond shameful.

My heart is so heavy right now. It shouldn't take another murder to get people to wake up. The stacks of Black and brown bodies weren't enough to convince you?

Will Stencil wrong again. American interventionism since the end of WW2 has been a rolling set of disasters, enacted upon sovereign nations with bipartisan support, causing the death and displacement of tens of millions of people. They just didn't do the key jingling part for pundits this time.

Checking in on the TikTok knitting lady who insists the military would never follow illegal orders, and she is insisting that by the letter of the law this was legal because... well because otherwise her grift of telling liberals comforting nonsense falls apart, I guess.

I guess what’s really despairing is that this feels like a litmus test of every part of the system, and every part of the system is failing. The media, the democrats, the army, international allies… pretty much everyone is willing to shrug their shoulders here. It will only embolden them.

They have no need for the patient escalation other administrations have conducted to incite the conflict they desire. They've seen what the world will tolerate. They won't stop until the American order is collapsed. And there's no external force that can or will.

The "rules based international order" has always been a facade constructed by the most powerful nations to lend legitimacy to their conflicts of greed and power. Gaza was the nail in the coffin for what little reality there was.
