Must Watch, Four Corners – Campus Chaos, exposing Unis using false claims to justify slashing staff & outsourcing work to consultants Features @lyon_brendan & his fight against special perks for Big consultants “Universities are but the latest victim of this ongoing scam” #auspol

For foreigners, a bloke who tried to skip out on a restaurant bill yelling, inter alia, "get your hand off my penis!” at a cop has been included in Australia's national film and sound archive. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

Don't give them ideas... xkcd.com/3225/

"They're smarter than us! Quick, bomb their Universities!" is about the level of strategic genius we have come to expect from Hegseth and co. www.politico.eu/article/iran...

I have some urgent work to do today, so of course I procrastinated by sketching an NPC from my campaign.

The complicity of universities cannot be understated... The few of us fighting back aren't enough. openletter.earth/open-letter-...

I'd suggest that "100%" refers to doing it *assisted* by LLMs. What he describes here is the traditional user-tool relationship. I do 90% of my research with a PC, but that doesn't mean the PC actually *does* any of the research. The citation bit is weird and misleading, though.

Nooooooice.

How's everyone else's scams going? My scam is parked in the driveway and just started charging off solar power for $0.

What's the difference between a quagmire and a normal mire anyway?

Can a war even be called a "quagmire" after 22 days? I DID iT tHe FasTLIest QuAGmiRE EvER

Proposition: Most dictators tend to be Lawful Evil, whereas Trump is Chaotic Evil.

I'm Banksy and so is my wife!

This current horror affects absolutely everyone - you, me, the mum or dad in the middle of nowhere who needs to buy a can of fuel to feed their family … dear god, end this.

Whoa black betty

Ok, so no Season 2 of Taboo then. Bugger.

When you give pills to greyhounds, you need to stick your hand in up to the elbow, because their heads are so long.

Happy Stabby Day, to those who celebrate!

Alfie: How soon did you know that I was not dead? Tommy: You wrote me a letter, Alfie.

I'm not sure I know what a bad Jessie Buckley performance looks like, but I'm told she has done one, which hopefully means there is a slightly greater probability of Taboo S2 happening. Come on Tom Hardy and Stephen Graham - you can totally be shite if you try hard enough.

When it comes to fuel shortages, we have some amazing tips to offer the rest of the world.

Why wait 90 days?

One of the most important things I made sure I understood with the reactionary Right is what they mean by “critical thinking”. Like, clearly they don’t understand what it is, but think they do. I’ve realised their understanding is so shallow they think all it means is contrarian. To reject the

Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity

Just saw Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man on the big screen. There was actually a little message from Cillian Murphy before it started, asking people not to let out any spoilers. He was correct. No spoilers. No spoilers. NO FOOKING SPOILERS.

Since my Dad died nearly a fortnight ago, I've realised that about 80% of my internal monologue is addressed to him.

I'm not crying. There's something in my eye.

"You have bad radiation burns after the nuclear strike I recommended. Put a band-aid on it and drink some chamomile tea."

I've always seen half of Australia as a dog's head but only today did I realise WHICH dog and what the other half resembled. You might say it was a "Woah" moment #australiaisanelaboratehoax #tintin

Sneeze that sounds suspiciously like "preferentialvoting"

I'm delighted to learn that Ryan Coogler and Ludwig Goransson have been besties since uni

Woohoo! Windows update has fucked my laptop. No relaxing coffee and doomscroll for me this morning.

Man, Iran's been on the brink of building nuclear weapons for decades now.

It was exactly fifty years ago today that AC/DC filmed this iconic clip from the back of a flatbed truck in Swanston Street, Melbourne. And it's still a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll.

'AUSTRALIA, n. A country lying in the South Sea, whose industrial and commercial development has been unspeakably retarded by an unfortunate dispute among geographers as to whether it is a continent or an island.' - Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary, 1911

Fantastic news. One of the best musicians on the planet.

My Dad passed away this morning - a gentle end for a gentle soul, thankfully. I'm holding a one-person Irish wake at the moment.

Man With Vested Interested Reported Saying Things Consistent with Vested Interest

"Looksmaxxing" and "Booksmaxxing" sound kind of like Maltese place names.

Ahem.

Jangus The God of beginnings of endings and doorways that lead to nowhere

Has Angus publicly congratulated himself yet?

And it hardly needs saying....... no relation.

He might have wanted to actually run this past some people with a basic understanding of physics first......

I'm sorry, "career scientists"? So what, are we recognising the "I did my own research" crowd as scientists now?

To be fair, I suspect the duck is paddling furiously below the surface. For example, I don't think anybody expects to see actual submarines from AUKUS. The aim is to buy off the US until alternative arrangements are in place.

I think it might be time to stop referring to ICE detainees as immigrants. It's gone way beyond that.
