I don’t have a favourite Jon Kudelka cartoon to share, because they were all incredible and skewering in *just* the right way. Someone who helped not just me but many others understand that better things are ALWAYS possible.

Vale Jon, and my sincerest condolences to your family ❤️

Yeah I noticed afterwards that someone beat me to it!

There are definitely rights issues with titles which show up in the app’s search results (available for purchase vs only streaming), but making the app impossible to navigate and use effectively makes it all the more frustrating.

It’s an OS 26 blunder (among many). If you click on the title’s ellipsis menu it presents you with the “play” option. Apple TV devices should work as normal, but this is the new (borked) normal on iPhone and iPad

Just gonna come straight out and say it: never been happier to have quit the ALP

Noise cancelling headphones on and I can STILL hear this blowhard trying to pick up the woman seated next to him in this doctor’s waiting room.

Wednesday is TRANSPHOBES ARE TRASH DAY!

Congratulations to those who celebrate this wonderful day.

Also, every other day is also Transphobes are Trash Day, I forgot to mention that.

Call me a scold, but I feel the most appropriate way to support a local cartoonist after their publisher threw them under a bus to appease a foreign state’s local lobbying arm is to share the original work which includes said artist’s name, not a garbage AI “reframing” which removes that attribution

If the victims had been *anyone* other than muslims we’d have had the report injected directly into our eyes and ears within minutes, with today’s breakfast news shows live broadcasting from different eastern Sydney cafes to provide rolling updates on the respective owners’ feels.

Grass roots.

Following marginalized voices makes you smarter and better informed than a million hours of consuming any Murdoch-owned news media.

And here I was thinking I’d explore more modest behaviours this year…

Minns government ‘actively’ considering if Jewish security group should be armed after Bondi attack NSW premier also announces police will carry long-arm rifles at major New Year’s Eve event in Sydney

In a fortnight overrun with spectacularly dumb ideas, you have to work REALLY hard to come up with the dumbest yet…

Segal “threatening Australia’s freedoms and democracy”, Jewish groups warn - The Klaxon A group of Jewish organisations has labelled Envoy Jillian Segal's "Antisemitism Report" an attack on Australia's “democracy” and “freedoms”, and say it must be rejected.

🚨Nine Jewish groups are urging the Government to reject Jillian Segal's "Antisemitism Report", saying it's an attack on Australia's "democracy" and "freedoms" – benefitting the state of Israel.

Segal must be given zero powers, they warn. Explosive...

AI Bro from yesterday blocked me. I get that he was upset that people mocked his profession and said it was bad and useless.

There’s no way that would ever happen to me, someone with a theater degree

lol it’d be more like “your tastes are bad and you should feel bad”

Even our tiny business making silly beers is affected by this shit. We work with, and loudly give credit to, actual human artists who come up with incredible, original works for our can labels, so it’s beyond depressing when someone asks “ooh did you use AI?” like we should be proud if we had.

NSW to effectively ban protests for up to three months as premier links Gaza rallies to Bondi terror attack Chris Minns says state ‘can’t risk another mass demonstration on that scale in NSW [because] the implications can be seen, in my view, on Sunday’

Yeah, this will fix everything 🙄

This is what the media should show. Messages of unity & hope from survivors. Despite that it’s not the answer this Sky News journo was seeking. #auspol #Bondi

Weaponising the Bondi tragedy is a betrayal of all our children - The Shot Breathe, slowly. It helps.  Cry if you need to. All of this hurts. But please understand, before we go any...

Here's me. "Weaponising the Bondi tragedy is a betrayal of all our children"

The National Socialist Network have chosen Sydney for their yearly "Nationals" gathering on 24-26 January. Antifascists, unionists, community groups, activist groups and all concerned members of the public should be aware that upwards of 200 neo-Nazis and their supporters are intending to turn up in Sydney between January 24-26, including the racist "March for Australia" rally on January 26. You can't let this go unchallenged in your city. Groups should begin organising, coordinating together, and making plans for supporting the Invasion Day rally and Yabun festival if they haven't already. Keep an eye on the Anti-Fascist Alerts Sydney channel https://t.me/antifaalertssydney for further information over the coming weeks, and follow The Blak Caucus on social media for updates on the Invasion Day rally. Sovereignty never ceded. No room for racism.

COMMUNITY ALERT: The National Socialist Network are gathering in Sydney for their “Nationals” event and March for Australia, 24-26 January. Expect upwards of 200 neo-Nazis to attend. Keep an eye on the Anti-Fascist Alerts Sydney channel t.me/antifaalerts... and SHARE WIDELY.

He achieved what I thought to be impossible: rendering Howard’s shuffling forth from his mausoleum not the most ghoulish act of the last few days.

Bondi lie peddled by Elon Musk's AI chatbot shows the future of our AI-poisoned information ecosystem In the hours after the Bondi Beach mass shooting, AI misinformation began to eat its own tail, with Musk's X bot absorbed and regurgitated in record time.

An AI generated the “Edward Crabtree” lie. An AI absorbed it. An AI spread it. The Bondi attack reveals the risk of AI chatbots eating their own tails, @cameronwilson.bsky.social reports.

Sydney is my home and I’ll be lining up to give as much of my O- as possible as soon as I can.

If one man can put himself literally in the firing line to protect people he didn’t even know, we can all brave the cannula for a spell.

People are still just hanging on. Let’s roll up our sleeves.

Hey so I’ve been lurking here since the invite days after ditching The Bad Place and taking a much needed posting break. Probs still won’t post much but may as well finally say hi.

I’m Rebel. I play roller derby, make beer, love old-school punk, and I fucking hate nazis.

Righto. Back to lurking.
