Just reading the affidavits from the pediatrician and the kids' facepaint artist about what they saw when the federal agents killed the nurse outside the donut shop

This kid is awesome, actual hero.

I won’t be acknowledging the Oscars this year due to them failing to nominate Dylan O’Brien for Twinless, if anything he should have been nominated TWICE, I have no further comment at this time.

Yeah all this news is distracting me from the most storied match up in the NBA- Bucks v Thunder

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

Gutted that my favourite cinema is closing. From “subtitle movies“ with my dad to midnight Rocky Horrors (dressed as Magenta) to dates and parties and more. Last time I went the only guy working blasted the Rachel Zegler Evita soundtrack while making us negronis www.broadsheet.com.au/sydney/enter...

Just watched Wake Up Dead Man and loved it but there’s a huge plot hole which would have been obvious to any Catholic- Good Friday 3pm service is always absolutely rammed with casuals, no way would only the regular flock be in the pews, it’s our guiltiest day and we won’t miss it for anything

A whole bunch of artists and cultural workers have lost work because of the implosion of Adelaide Writers week — writers, producers, stage crew, front of house. None of this was their fault. Something for the Labor premier to think about

Louise Adler’s resignation letter is a clear example of why she’s an important voice in the Australian arts. Solidarity with her and Randa Abdel-Fattah and every writer who withdrew from the festival. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“The moral spinelessness in not only seeking to silence Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, but to link the cancellation to the abhorrent terrorist attack in Bondi, speaks volumes over who is allowed to have a voice in Australia." Read more on The Australia Institute's response: thepoint.com.au/news/260109-...

This is why it annoys me when people try to make it seem as if this is how things have always been. There was a time when greater literacy and reading as a part of everyday life for people of every class was a national mission. Then it changed drastically and now we’re here.

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine

Got to the pub late and two very friendly (and drunk) strangers were sitting with my group but the vibes were a little strange and eventually they left anyway it transpired that about a minute before I got there the strangers had revealed they were defence contractors and no one knew what to say

It’s fine guys he has identified a giraffe three times let him cook

Hmm I sure hope all these war crimes don’t distract Trump from giving us our beautiful AUKUS submarines, let’s absolutely stick around to find out!

It's so miserable that the US is still breaking international law and slaughtering innocent people for oil, in 2025, when we have the technology and resources to transition to renewables for good. It's absolute hell that we are being led by such close minded, regressive imbeciles.

The FIFA Peace Prize doesn't mean what it used to

In a statement, an emotional Grok told me it was "shaken" by the revenge porn it had generated. "It's not epic, and not based," Grok said. "It's neither. Frankly, it's cringe. And gay." An emailed request for comment to X received an auto-reply of a rofl emoji and a custom swastika emoji.

"Cognitive amplifier tools" son it's a Teddy Ruxpin that makes teenagers commit suicide.

Say it to Pope Leo’s face you coward

Making myself as conspicuous as possible across the bar, doing my best vibe

Happy new year from my superior nicknaming skills

In September 2023, Lilian Weng, then Head of "Safety" at OpenAI, used her public Twitter account to announce how ChatGPT could be used as a therapist, and encouraged users to also use it as such.

My partner picked up a bunch of books from the discards table at the library and I grabbed one at random to read and couldn’t put it down. Just finished it and googled it to see if anyone else has heard of it and…it’s literally an Oprah book club pick. I am very niche and interesting.

The family that “gifted” their grandma with dementia an AI picture of her with Ozzy are the type of people who would root for the hive in Pluribus. Anti-human behavior

As God* is my witness, I will never watch a podcast *Ira Glass

Bari Weiss' reporting experience is summed up by the time the NYT bizarrely gave her the cushiest possible assignment - go to Australia and hang out and write about it - and she produced a story so bad and so wrong about basic facts of Australian life that it became a running joke there.

I claimed that Rent is a Christmas movie and made everyone watch it and then dealt with constant complaints that it’s not Christmas-y enough until I said “what, do you want to see Rudolph at a Life Support meeting???” anyway happy holidays we have 9 overseas guests this year

Hanson is calling for tougher hate speech laws, while she is currently in court trying to appeal against her loss in a hate speech legal case. A fact not mentioned by a single outlet covering this story.

Anthony Albanese must fix our broken gun laws. Anything less will fail to honour the lives of those lost at Bondi | Charles Watson and Roland Browne

I am appalled and terrified by the immediate weaponisation of the devastating nightmare at Bondi. Jillian Segal’s recommendations were that universities and arts institutions who allowed criticism of Israel should have their funding removed- how would that have stopped this horrific attack?

To be confronted with this horrific act of antisemitic violence during the Jewish festival of light and hope is shattering. In moments like this, we hold each other close. We should all be able to gather with our communities, practice our culture, and worship in safety. 3/4

Absolutely horrific and repulsive. Solidarity with Jewish friends, especially as it’s the first night of Hannukah www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The air around Bondi is still full of sirens, we’re safe at home but devastated and shaken. I love my community, I love our beach, I hate this so much.

the thing is there really is a epochal tech revolution happening, it’s called renewables and green industry

Every ad for AI is like Person: FUCK!! I don’t know what to get my loved one for Christmas!!!!!! I love them so much!!! Tell me what to do, AI!! AI: get sock Title Card: You are literally the smartest person for doing this

The Thunder just went up 50 on the Suns on a Youngblood 3. The metaphor is a bit on the nose tbh #nbasky

I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without my brand new revolutionary product, a Big Box of Angry Crabs. say you have a question by about sleep cycles. You simply place your face near the lid and then open to- AH FUCK THEY'VE GOT MY NOSE, OH CHRIST, CLOSE THE BOX CLOSE THE BOX

I was at a cafe yesterday and a woman had a cute young dog and two strangers stopped to pat it and one asked how big the dog was going to get and she said "I don't know, I asked Chat GPT but he's already bigger than it said" and one of the strangers said "oh, ask again?" RIP to us all tbh

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

Listening to this is like watching someone go up the stairs in a horror movie. Don‘t get comfy man! The killer is already in the house!

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!" "no problem boss. i'm on it"

The most damning information in here is that Theo Von blurbed his new book
