YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Anti-vax conspiracies are not just some harmless eccentricities, they lead to outbreaks of deadly diseases. "this, by a very big distance, is the biggest outbreak of diphtheria we've ever seen" and "even with treatment, one in 10 people with respiratory symptoms die" www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

And that there a lot of administrators who are the easiest marks to salespeople

somewhere at that college is an admin person who for the last 25 years has read the names. It's their thing, they love it, they have a process. This year the VC (or whatever they call them in seppo-land) has a deal with one of the chatbot companies to force "AI" into everything.

what you need to know about Forza Horizon 6 is this

WE ALL KNOW WHO SHOULD PLAY HELEN OF TROY, FOR ACCURACY!!! P.S. I AM NOT A CRANK!!!

I only care about the new Bond if they pick Abigail Thorn

Tech does not exist outside the context of other things happening in the world, and neither do we

Oh. My. God. (Laudatory)

youtube doesn’t serve more impressions by spawning 5 copies of the Save to Playlist menu. there’s zero motivation for this. corporations are bad. but developers are also bad.

what can you even say about people who grow rice on the driest inhabited continent on earth?

the thing about Farrer is that everyone who lives there is a fucking moron. Just the dullest fucking cunts you've ever encountered. They now have their perfect representation, leave them to it.

the bar is…just rotten

Can you imagine an ALP design for a UBI? Means-tested, voucher-based and using a network of private providers to administer it. I'm sure they could talk to the Abundance charlatans to find novel ways to make it so much worse.

Best parts of moving: - Saying “we’ll definitely hire movers next time” - Premium Quality IKEA Furniture Assembly - Misplacing the box cutter (the one thing that brings you joy) - Maintaining your dignity in front of the new neighbors

It's time. Fetch me the Jar-Jar mouse.

Oh good I’m glad GitHub is addressing their urgent issues by (checks notes) …doing layoffs again today

Lol it wasn't the "progressive left" pushing for the social media ban. It was first Coalition policy pushed by News Corp and adopted by the centre right premier in SA before the government gave into it.

This is why, no matter how hard I try to explain "it's actually way more convenient to just plug in your car and let it charge while you sleep than it is to go to gas stations" I can't get anywhere. EVs allow us to reimagine the concept of fueling in ways people are unwilling to imagine.

tired: there must be a Maiden, a Mother, and a Crone for mystical reasons wired: the Maiden is necessary to keep the Mother and the Crone from getting on each other's nerves

@ptua.org.au do you know if the lxrp team have rules about planning detours that consider non car/ truck users on the detoured path?

@techconnectify.bsky.social isn't it great that heat pumps are finally getting the acknowledgment for how good they are.

Congratulations to heat pumps: a technology that has now hit the milestone of "PR guy with gas industry links is doing astroturfing campaigns against you" stage all clean technologies have to go through 🥂 🎉 www.desmog.com/2026/04/23/f...

Instead of reducing emissions, as I have said before and will say again and again until every Australian has heard me, the Safeguard Mechanism has become an offsets clearinghouse. To make matters worse, it is a clearing house for the the offsets that are likely doing the least good. 😩

there are 3 types of VMs: - cursed VMs - haunted VMs - damned VMs

writing lesson plans and preparing the materials are one of the best parts of the training process, I think. That's where you really get to use your experience and imagination and think about how things all fit together. Or if you suck at your job I guess you just get chatgippity to do it.

do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

If there's one thing worse than embarrassing yourself in the face of the enemy it's embarrassing yourself in the face of your allies, and on the 10th April 1918 the Italian and French navies engaged in a synchronised display of competence the like of which we might hope never to see again.

Maybe it’s time to swap overlords. I mean, if you must swear fealty to a corrupt genocidal dictatorship why not go with the one that has fast charging and isn’t trying to destroy the planet?

I think we need family pairing for older relatives I need to be able to manage the screen time and content filters for my parents in the same way I can for my 14 year old Be the contact when they (once every 5 months) lock themselves out or need help.

This is hilarious because it implies that her husband DID call her while she was in space on the ISS to ask her help in looking for something. 💀🌌

Glod may not have the most… romantic view of a career as a musician but he does, in many ways, have the most sustainable one

www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros... is it good to build an entire economy and software infrastructure on this

Unfortunately Jackson just can't kick the Hobbit

It's been this way for a long time in Australia. Only WA is more pro-mining than QLD. The failure is in the selling. And the best way to sell it needs the public execution of an opponent. I would suggest the Murdoch Press - because it's weak and useless and filled with egotistical morons.

PHON picks up a seat they'll hold for about 8 days before the incumbent resigns from the party. Media: PAULINE HANSON IS THE GOVERNMENT NOW

If some right wing media org tells you that your tone is wrong, tell them to fuck off.

pretending you were asking for more information was the best way to try to get the humans to realize they were doing something stupid.

i'm in my 40s, the only role models i have are the people who left the industry and somehow have financial security

Behind the headlines ("Please use PT!"; "Free PT!") the VFF correctly identified that more PT services are needed to help people to switch. It's not just about capacity, it's also about boosting frequency (especially outside peak) to make it time-competitive with driving.

Today in "do not trust the robot, no, it cannot think, no I don't care that you saw some hype man say it's going to take over law firms in 5 years"
