I think it's actually kind of critical to develop the ability to, and comfort with, just fucking saying when you don't know something, or don't know enough to have formed a strong opinion. Especially given our disinformation situation. Plus it invites people who DO know their shit to the convo

I increasingly think about protest along the lines of finding ways to be very irritating and as such I find this idea to be a tremendous one

This was a fucking great joke

Waleed Aly is what happens when you promote a guy whose brand is both I) being contrarian and II) never saying anything particularly specific. “Well, I think the opposite, but not for any real reason you’d immediately understand.”

And recent evidence suggests it’s entirely possible Epstein himself helped orchestrate that response (see recent threads by @asherwolf.bsky.social on his disinformation spend).

Thinking about it, it’s kinda crazy how big companies thought videogame streaming was going to be the next big thing as they simultaneously worked on making video games the most resource draining edifices they could. Like how were those two things gonna coincide.

transness is a gift. i need every trans woman to understand that by nature of their existence they have been blessed with the ability to pluck the strands of fate with their hands if they choose to. it is not always easy and it is not without hardship but every trans woman is capable of greatness.

I would love a movie about someone making a Jurassic Park revival of dinosaurs theme park thing and then a couple of years later scientists discover dinosaurs looked nothing like that and the park has to manage the reputation fallout and pivot to being like ‘fantasy lizard park’ or something.

Huh, strange coincidence. We’re one of the world’s biggest coal and gas exporters. And, apparently, our climate change policy kinda sucks. Crazy how that’d happen at the same time.

“Ah shit china got on board, what do we do now?” “…roll out bill gates and have him say some stuff about people needing to chill out about climate change…”

Strange how there was a pandemic, an immigration crackdown, and an unaddressed housing crisis and now Australia has worker shortages all over the place. I wonder if any of that is linked at all.

The ONLY exception I will make to this is if someone manages to make something as transcendentally weird and hilarious as that ‘lady with a big rock destroys glass bridge’ thing. That is honestly the only thing that has ever made me think AI might one day make something good.

The room is almost all elephant. Almost none of it isn’t. Pretty much solid elephant. So there’s no room to talk about it. -Kay Ryan, “The Elephant in the Room” #everynightapoem

This is so wrong. The listener is the victim. And, the band, well, they’re

that's because centrism is for losers

I don't need to like you to understand that you are a human being

I know a lot is going on, but I would really appreciate a share. I'm still waiting on a check and I'm wrapping up the rest of my small gigs this week. If you need any art and you like what I do, please consider contacting me. I'd like to think my budget is reasonable, and I put out some good art

One of the variables in 2025, I think, is that there’s previously been a certain implicit idea of a social contract that elites can operate with impunity if everything else works okay - but the that contract has been quite visibly and tangibly broken, across the world. Will things be different?

In Feb, NDIA was one of several Corporate Commonwealth entities DTA encouraged to release AI Transparency statements, but didn't, here's why:

Her art (in following post) is gorgeous and $10 for sketches is a steal. Maybe round up/give extra? I lived in Manila for a year and the Philippines is one of the most wonderful countries in the world. Please help! And RT!

Fun but unrelated fact: ASIO have a recruiting problem. Nobody wants to be spies. There’s a lot of bs about how young people are getting more right-wing but, if you want the truth, consider that both ASIO and the police are struggling to find anyone who wants to work for them.

We 1) GIVE multi-national companies our finite gas resources FOR FREE to facilitate their profits, and emissions, and 2) CHARGE young Australians for an education that will facilitate an advanced future economy. We took a wrong turn somewhere. #auspol

What a fudging wuss of a writer, good grief.

Seriously contemplating using my mysterious superpowers to win every olympic event just to screw over the olympics.

Just like everything that's been done to Palestine is a trial for everything that will be done to you. You stand up for the most devalued among us or you fall before the thresher with us all.

Plus, this One of the biggest studies ever done, showing that not only do we not have an advantage, we may have a disadvantage, commissioned by who? The IOC Its not like they don't know this

You fucking cowardly shitheels.

More practical idea than anything that's been suggested for Brisbane 2032 thus far.

It’s genuinely fascinating how this one fleeting exchange on Community just nailed white people to the wall, then and now.

This is kinda like the NDIS in Australia. It started out as this impossible dream of a government actually supporting disabled people and then almost immediately was turned into this punishing gauntlet of bureaucratic bullshit to extract value from us and leave us dying.

It is a peculiar quirk of the Australian social security system that when given the option to either engage with Centrelink for the disability support pension, or work to death for slightly better yet still poverty level wages, many women will choose the non-centrelink option, and try to hug it

This sounds really bad. And, then you look at Australia. In 2023, 80% of incarcerated kids in Australia were in unsentenced detention. By comparison, the below number represents about a third of US incarcerated kids. Few understand just how twisted Australia actually is, I think.

What’s most startling reading this is how much it sounds like a more flattering rendition of a certain Tesla-affiliated billionaire’s life trajectory. ‘Got lucky at 25 but wasn’t actually good at anything so said and did reactionary bullshit to stay relevant until everybody hated him’.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

It’s amazing that there’s actually no data that supports what that dude is saying and he still delivers it like it’s just accepted science. It’s the equivalent of saying ‘if you want planes to go faster, you should paint them red. Red is a fast colour.’ and expecting people to respect you.

I’m imagining all the training they could give their employees about judging distances. ‘No, not 5 feet, 4 feet, you want to seem like a weirdo??’ Seriously, though, ludicrous behaviour.

One of my favourite things to do is introduce outdated Australian slang to people who have been in this country for like 10+ years. ‘What do you mean ‘shirty’? What is a stoush?’

This is a deeply confusing headline for Australians.

Seriously tho, new sorry album fucking goes

"We would rather be ruined than changed; We would rather die in our dread Than climb the cross of the moment And let our illusions die." —W. H. Auden, The Age of Anxiety

Thinking about it, I think one of the reasons so many people can’t take COVID’s continued risks seriously (including me) is because so much of our everyday life is about weathering pain, trauma, suffering ‘for the greater good’ and so we struggle to value our wellbeing or that of others.

If you find Harms Committed useful as an abolitionist educational resource, please consider sharing it with your network of family, friends, colleagues, and peers. Thank you!

Sorry’s new album is great and you should listen to it 😎🪿

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

Wait a minute, let’s maybe hear out this death ball, let’s not be hasty
