Dunno, explaining that my grandparents were born in 1896 has short circuited my kiddo’s brain

Ok Amyl & the Sniffers said it wasn’t safe to play but have put $5k behind the bar at venues across town to say sorry and give Melbourne and free drinks on them. Sweethearts.

I would get productivity gains if every effing app, website, program, stopped with the completely unnecessary pop ups that make me have to stop thinking about what I was doing and click not now. I am furious

I say it over and over again: when you have that much money, you want to live where you want to live and you are simply not going to relocate because of marginal tax rates Alan Dershowitz will never leave Martha’s Vineyard and they won’t even sell him a pierogi

Surely there’s a dinosaur still swimming around there

Proof that the world has gone bonkers

No one messes with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. And also, hmm why haven’t they been nominated for an Aria? Is it because the Arias are sponsored by Spotify?

This is possibly the most fucked thing I've ever seen but also the bit at the end where the grandmother is straight up being tricked into providing training content for the app feels particularly revealing.

a “Space Force”, if you will

I reckon if we deem you responsible and mature enough to face a 25 year jail sentence you're probably also mature and responsible enough to be able to use fucking tiktok

I love this.

Each time I see a proudly flown Union Jack or St George's flag, I see, as well as aggression, ignorance & self-delusion. People telling themselves a tale about a make-believe past whose sporadic positive aspects weren't what the tellers believe. Squalid fingernails clinging to an idiot's fairy tale.

With the caveat that it's impossible to know what is really happening from such a short story, this is clearly a terrible idea www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Like, omg, the US company I work for requires me to use a VPN, this is bonkers

Be nice if you held Labor to account for bagging net zero in actions by approving in 2 years 38 new fossil fuel projects and tripling Australia's emissions with no stoppage in sight. There are 80 more submissions for fossil fuels and I think they will approve them all.

Employers saying that entry level jobs needed a university degree, and a devaluation of the arts

"A court in Munich has ruled that OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT violated German copyright laws by using hits from top-selling musicians to train its language models in what creative industry advocates described as a landmark European ruling" www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Did fear of jail time stop Adrian Bayley murdering Jill Meagher? No it didn’t. Multiple state governments trying to turn Australia into a Dickensian prison hulk are doing so because they will not face the reality of how people got there. Safe and secure housing, access to medical care NOW

Getting pretty sick of state governments trying to get “tough on crime” and ramp up the number of kids in detention when they also treat them like this. Do we not have a federal government that ensures basic human rights for children?

And I will say it again. Jane Hume on News Breakfast last week actually tried to say renewables harm the environment. They don’t effing care about renewables, only fossil fuels cos of their mates

going to be awesome to be 15 years old in victoria, where you won't be allowed to watch youtube but will be allowed to go to prison for a thousand years

The passive “suggests”. What the eff is happening to state governments that they prioritise incarceration over housing and making lives better. The carceral system is wayyyy more expensive than providing an actual social safety net

Get Yer Yia-Yia's Out!

Oh goodness. Just once I want to see this. The last big one could only make out vague colour

Or, make access to swimming lessons cheap/free for all citizens. Increase public comms about the dangers, and do it in many languages. It’s like we’ve learnt nothing from the early days of Covid. And if it’s flooded, forget it.

So the Spirit of Tasmania is supposed to be part of the National Highway. In what realm is it serving anyone anymore?

I’ve turned off all the news. Now watching Koyaanisqatsi

UK government project using AI to find benefit fraud resulted in: - A 46% false fraud rate - Anguish for families who were wrongly accused of fraud and had benefits stopped - Months of additional work for government, setting up a hotline, correcting false fraud www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Here is my Dismissal story. 1975, November 11, I had surgery to remove my kidney. Eight years old. I didn’t properly wake up until the next day. The very first thing mum told me was they’d sacked Gough. I was shocked - yes as an eight year old - he was someone I admired.

"Universe, give me a sign that I should log off" Tyler:

I love* how the UK and Australia are currently echoing one another in the worst ways. The supposed party of labour licking the corporate & xenophobic boot. The national broadcaster trying desperately to appease those who hate it.

Now that Laws has died I can finally admit: I did not, in fact, "know what I mean."

All these gender critical “feminists” shilling for rightwing papers who would take away women’s rights in an *instant* and never admitting the contradiction. If your feminism requires you to be on the same side as Trump, Vance, Putin, Farage, the Mail, the Telegraph, then mayyyyyyyybbbbbeeee….

Every effing Sydney taxi driver had him or Jones playing on their radios. One reason I’ll always dislike Sydney

Felt like Laws was your sexist racist befuddled granddad who couldn't shake the times he grew up in while Jones was a calculating nasty sleazy vindictive prick covetous of personal and political power

John Laws and Richo within two days. Maybe there is a god
