This is appalling. Australian writers you know what to do

If you are still on xitter you are a bloody idiot or a troll/misogynist/fascist

Details remain unclear: on the one hand, there's a video showing thugs murdering a woman in cold blood. On the other hand, the New York Times is a propaganda arm of the fascist state.

Big “tough” “man?” running a child off the road in his car. For gods sake. And apparently NOT charged?

Racially motivated attacks on Noongar kids have to stop. "Pushed by sheer adrenaline, Kaiden ran as the man allegedly yelled racial slurs at him - including calling him a Black c*** - and accused him of stealing the motorbike." nit.com.au/06-01-2026/2...

I don't often completely miss or fail to understand the zeitgeist but what the fuck is "Dubai chocolate"... the world is filled with the stuff and advertisements for the stuff and I have no fucking idea why it went viral.

HAPPY HOGSWATCH EVERYBODY

We need to do something to stop AI fueled misinformation

Maybe the law needs to treat deepfakes as sexual assault (which they are) and put anyone producing or disseminating deepfakes on trial for sexual assault. The people who enable deepfakes or defend them or produce the apps are accessories to sexual assault.

This is so fucked up. If the only way to stop AI deepfakes is to burn it all down, burn it all down. Punish people who make AI deep fakes and the people who make the software used to make AI deepfakes. Enough is enough

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

For those who might not be aware ... Australia has the three largest freshwater crayfish species on the planet. It is legal to fish for 2 of those 3.

Rob Reiner made some of my favorite movies of all time. I am devastated and heartbroken by his passing. Vale you legend

I have a simple solution. Let's just tweet what we want and also boycott the USA until they stop being fascists. The problem is self-solving. There is no reason to visit that fascist hell hole.

This thread.

Teens are posting online about using VPNs to get around the under 16s social media ban, as VPN makers and people selling these services target Australians with advertisements and how to guides. But the government has told tech companies they need to thwart these efforts. www.crikey.com.au/20...

I would have preferred the Labor Govt to put the responsibility for control back on the social media companies- they should block certain content and really act when unacceptable behavior/ posts are reported.

Can I just state for the record that the social media ban for kids and teens is a stupid idea. All it will lead to is a bunch of kids who are now about 12 getting to 16 in 4 years time and having no social media "street smarts". We are creating a generation of social media illiterates.

Democrats get labeled as obsessed with trans people yet Republicans spent their time during the shutdown doing this.

Mission accomplished. Xmas carp caught! 20kg of carp (8 fish) in about 3 hours.

The generative AI bubble is a pump and dump scam

Some of you point out that the big players have used various tricks to keep their own $ safe. True. That's why we need to think about how to prosecute them for fraud. Those bubble-inflating claims - AI will cure all disease! end climate change! double lifespans! - are essentially Theranos X 1000.

Crypto currency is a scam, a bubble and a vehicle for crime and any profit made on bitcoin relies entirely on tricking someone into buying it. That's why they act like a cult, to make money they need to convince YOU it will keep going up in value. Some coins are obvious scams but they are ALL scams.

Day 14 of #IndigenousPeoplesMonth: TERRA NULLIUS, the acclaimed novel by author Claire G. Coleman (@clairegcoleman.bsky.social), who identifies with the South Coast Noongar people. Coleman's science fiction debut deftly, devastatingly explores colonialism and displacement, inherent humanity and hope

There is an old Radiolab podcast about an elderly couple hit with ransomware payable in crypto currency. The elderly woman says, "I didn't know what bitcoin was so I looked it up. The first definition is, 'A currency predominantly used to pay ransomware.' "

I just heard the author Richard Morgan had been vocal in support of JKR on anti-trans stuff. I was super disappointed and went to check. The first result that came up was Morgan exhorting people to look up the good work of Glinner on the subject, so absolutely fuck that guy. Just FYI.

Can we all just agree Elon is simply THAT stupid

Authors read this and beware.

Elon bought a social media platform for 44 billion dollars to chuck a childish tantrum when insulted (spectacularly) by an 87 year old author.

I mean he is thirty years her junior (derogatory)
