Black Friday is capitalism gone mad, but you know what IS a great deal? Buying great horror books. Especially SIGNED great horror books direct from the author. Just saying.

Amid a teen social media ban standoff, Google is using the most visited page by Aussies — Google search — to promote the YouTube's benefits for kids.

The company wouldn't say if it's the mystery group who has engaged a top constitutional law expert for advice on the ban.

I wonder what it takes for people be filled with hatred like that. Obscene and I hope we do better at stamping it out than other countries who seemingly have capitulated.

It is quite depressing!

My chilling week on Roblox: sexually assaulted and shat on as a child avatar roaming the online world | Roblox | The Guardian In seven days my young alter ego is cyberbullied and attacked while exploring clubs, casinos and horror games, all with parental controls in place. Is the platform safe for children – or an ‘X-rated paedophile hellscape’?

I love video games and all the positives they can bring but i’m not sure I would allow a young person under my care to play Roblox unsupervised. Online spaces can be difficult to navigate even for “adults”, let alone a young person figuring out who they are.

It’s concerning that I seemingly take more care adding work friends to a chat paying out the boss than the US does with literal war time plans.

Labor says Dutton 'conned' by caravan hoax and unfit for national security role Tony Burke has accused Peter Dutton of playing into the hands of organised criminals behind the fake terrorism plot.

Whoa... ABC reports Peter Dutton refused a security briefing on the caravan fake terrorism incident.

He deliberately turned a blind eye so he could have the chance to demonise Muslims and terrify Jews for political gain.

Woof… Time Cut is rough. Can see why it took 3 years to air. As others have said. Sound track is good (if you like that music) but really if you could only watch one time travel slasher watch Totally Killer (2023).

Repeat after me: most STIs are asymptomatic. Also you shouldn't upload intimate pictures to an app because wow the (lack of) privacy implications are scary.

The Midnight Meat Train (2008) A photographer's obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter leads him into the path of a serial killer who stalks late night commuters, ultimately butchering them in the most gruesome ways.

I liked it, though I don’t think it’s a good movie if that makes sense?

I watched Se7en before this which is a much tighter, if predictable, atmospheric moody horror film.

Wearing a hoodie caused Brad to be stopped by police. Ten minutes later, he was dead Brad Balzan died a violent death in his own backyard. Some are calling it "the worst outcome imaginable of proactive policing".

What a sad story for everyone involved. Easily avoidable. Proactive policing doesn’t really work but if it is going to be used it should be done in uniform. To help alleviate the confusion caused by plain clothes officers just saying Police.
