The Greens are ready to work with the government to pass gun laws next week. The rest of the omnibus bill however needs too much reworking to meet community concerns. We need to keep all people in the community safe from discrimination and hatred, but good laws don’t come from rushed work.

This was a lot of fun to make. 3D printed pokeball fidget clicker. Central button and each of the outer segments has a mechanical keyboard switch under it to give a very satisfying click #3dprinting

I guarantee at least one of those doofuses has an entire basement dedicated to his model train setup

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the only one stopping you from having an owl on your shoulder, a cursed amulet that collects souls, and the antlered crown of a long dead forest god is you.

I am pleased to be doing an AMA on r/AskHistorians @askhistorians.bsky.social today, you can ask me anything (within reason!) about my new book "Jim Crow in the Asylum: Psychiatry and Civil Rights in the American South" )published by @uncpress.bsky.social) here: www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

Look, I'm sure everything will be perfectly fine and return to normal just as soon as Marty manages to get the sports almanac book back from Young Donald

Still not a lawyer, but I called it...

I don’t know why Gail hate Star Wars so much

President Baby is at it again. This is the sort of lack of impulse control you'd see in an advanced dementia patient people.com/donald-trump...

I wonder how Sky News will manage to blame the cancellation of the Adelaide Writers Festival on @cathywilcox.bsky.social?

The collective noun of gay sheep isn't "a flock", it's "a pride"

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

@zvyozdochka.bsky.social good to see you over here :)

had a little window of hyperfocus on something I need to get done at work but then I had a bunch of questions from other work people that derailed me and do you think I can get back into what I need to do? Gah. Not their fault but still frustrating. #adhdlife

This heatwave has marked a historic turning point in the Australian energy grid - we used to have blackouts as everyone turned their AC's on, with pundits telling us that 'renewables aren't the answer'. No blackouts this time, and silence from the nay-sayers. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

I hope the Yarck pub will be ok otherwise 95% of tradies in Melbourne won't have their legally required bumper sticker from there on their new utes

Hell of a day forecast for Fire weather in Victoria. FFS download and use the “VIC emergency” app for latest info. Don’t rely on social media in an emergency.

If they can get away with it once...

That's just fully evil. Trying to justify the blatant murder of an unarmed citizen complying with orders given by untrained and unqualified agents

@gailsimone.bsky.social Gail, it's 2026. Shouldn't they be GenZ-Men by now?

Be more like Chiitan. Maybe without the random destruction, but you do you people.

Updated Fire Danger Ratings 4:03pm 8/1/26 Central went from Extreme 78 to Extreme 99! This is now a Black Saturday type scenario. Hold on to your hats folks, it is going to get messy tomorrow. Also stay inside where your hat won't blow off would be a better solution. #Bushfires #Victoria

There is a lot of small fires started through Gippsland and the Alps. This is even before tomorrow's catastrophic conditions. Hoo boy.

Randa Abdel-Fattah’s response:

This is a rather big deal. For anyone in one of the Catastrophic Rating areas tomorrow If your bushfire survival plan involved a V/line train or bus tomorrow, your plan did not survive contact with the enemy. www.vline.com.au/Service-Chan... #Bushfires #Victoria

Who voted Frydenberg their spokesman? Certainly wasn't the constituents from Kooyong

What a day it will be.

The locals are good at photobombing.

What's kinda ridiculous is this LLM/AI revolution would be perfect if it came alongside the disassembly of the current form of capitalism and a shift to UBI. AI doing simple work that keeps society running, and opportunities for individuals to pursue their dreams free from economic shackles

Happy New Year to all the Tifosi who are sure this year will be their year

Dear sadistic food packaging designers who choose to print cooking instructions in white, size 8 font, on a pale yellow background, Get fucked! Truly! From Everyone.

I will eternally be irritated by a company that provides a DNA matching/origin service paywalling DNA matches they get from the data you paid to have analysed in the first place. Fuck you, Ancestry.

77% of workers experienced burnout in 2024. That's not a personal failing—that's a systemic problem with how we've designed work. #BurnoutStatistics #SystemicIssue

Looks like there’s another BambuLabs A1 recall, but only for Australians and for the exact same thing as the last one. I think it’s a formal government recall this time. www.productsafety.gov.au/search-consu...

Must be Albo's fault

Narrator: His critics can't be satisfied. The criticism is the ends, not the means, where ghouls compete to see who can climb atop a pile of dead bodies to shout the loudest.

Little men have had a busy day.

Well I'm fucked... You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

There is no gun "debate". There are not two equal sides. It is almost everyone vs almost no one. 70% of Australians wanted tougher gun laws *before* Bondi. More below, full results here: australiainstitute.org.au/report/polli...
