Australian has tough copyright laws. So when the biggest threat to all creativity and artists is emerging the productivity commission wants to downgrade laws to allow AI to scrape all of our work & use it without paying one cent?!
Do I have this right?
@albomp.bsky.social this is not ok

Enormous wealth doesn't make them deep thinkers, it just surrounds them with people who tell them they are

The Labor Party is becoming autocratic.

Suppressing protest. Jailing whistleblowers.

I ask Labor voters to think carefully about the direction this is headed.

They’re writing to convince the world’s dumbest people

I'm puzzled every day that any person in possession of their faculties thinks a US president who takes photo ops on the roof of the White House should be making decisions that affect every person on the planet.
*steps off soap box*

As always we don't have a gas shortage we have a shortage of spines at Federal level to stop Australians being ripped off by cartels that plunder our gas resources for less than a hand full of magic beans.

Four frames. Title: COCKATOO DANCE MOVES. 1. HEADBANG - Cockatoo lurching forward, thinks “I can’t believe we’re still on board with AUKUS. 2. BODYROLL - Cocky reeling back, thinks “I squirm to think of chummingbup with Trump…” 3. FOOT LIFT - Cocky lifts foot, thinks “I wish we could de-couple from the autocrat.” 4. SIDESTEP - Cocky leans, steps sideways, thinks “Step well away and give this deal the DUMP!”

Cockatoo dance moves.

Netanyahu aims to fully control Gaza despite warnings of mass death Israeli PM needs security cabinet to approve plan amid opposition from aid agencies and families of hostages

No one still supporting Israel deserves a role in public life.

Everyone still supporting Israel rejoices in the murder of children.

and, anyway, weren't Australians involved in violent armed protest against Fascism, oppression, and genocide, in Europe and the Pacific at this time?

The reason I have so many guitar tuners (and one is still missing)

I have lost my gravel bike's saddle bag and its contents, so I have bought replacements thereby guaranteeing I will find it

Single frame cartoon. Scene is outside with Parliament House in the distance. A snake oil salesman has a stall with a sign saying "A.I. Don't think about the bad bits!". He is saying to Albanese and a bunch of people including an artist, normal worker, child and musician "If you ignore the job losses, intellectual property theft, huge environmental costs, disinformation and the fact that it's making some of the biggest jerks on earth brain-bendingly rich, it really WILL be a boon for humanity!"

And they're missing the point that Australians were materially protesting against genocide in Europe, in a very large and violent demonstration against the NAZIs

Holy fuck... people didn't protest about the most secret project in the world that was only announced what it was after the fact is one hell of a take.

Goodwin moved pre-emptively, by claiming he had the board's support himself!

Won’t someone think of the commercial landlords..

I'd say that's a certainty. Just like they think "Art" means "pictures"

Musk said his chatbot was 'smarter than any grad student' so Altman has to say his is smarter than a PhD. No one in a major newspaper stops to ask 'how could this be possibly true when we can see for ourselves the thing has no innate intelligence at all and simply follows it's programming?'

I went to Temu & ordered 'The Kremlin'

Seriously, how thick would you have to be to put money into this, though?

Well, that would keep the cafe owners happy

Sure, let's force workers to waste many hours every day, just to keep the Property Council happy

he was today years old when he died, but then so will all of us be

anyway fair's fair, they should let the buffalo keep the body

Social security is not a gift, not charity, not something doled out by the nation out of the goodness of their heart, it is an acceptance that the total wealth of a nation, most of it created by those who own the least, is best for the entire nation if it is distributed equably across the nation
