Why is whatever the Coalition doing or not doing front page news? Move that crap to below the fold, #auspol

From a time when “just following orders” wasn’t tolerated. We could use this…

ÆNIMA Where's The Vinyl Tee | Tool Band Store ÆNIMA Where's The Vinyl Tee 4.3 oz. 100% combed ringspun cotton Set-in 1x1 baby rib collar Hemmed sleeves Side seamed

You’ve got to hand it to Tool (the band), they’ve got a sense of humour: store.toolband.com/product/TLCT... #tool #vinyl #musicsky

Or fossil fuel interests, powerful lobbying and state capture.

OH: “A dyslexic gamer aims to unlock dog mode” #gaming #badpun

There are sides?

I don't even have a "regular" GP, as the local practice folded mid-last year and a new (different) one only just started up here late this year.

Honestly, the human race is just too stupid to continue - long term.

Too soon? #auspol

Kinda makes the case that consistent, standards-based parental controls (so the monitoring is a parent or guardian’s responsibility) across major platforms might possibly be a better solution?

No one can correlate this “logic”.

Tax the rich! Beyond that, you can’t spend money on a dead planet.

We don't want overseas capital buying up our precious land and building behemoths that suck us dry of water and pollute the environment and never pay taxes. We're tired of predatory venture capitalists killing us. NO.

I’m zeroing in on the problem..

Technology. The law lags behind it by a huge margin, and those in the industry are required to balance ethics against a plethora of other competing factors, most of the time the latter takes priority. It’s partly why we have enshittification and predatory tech platforms.

Sadly, not surprising. The lack of technology and risk management experience at senior levels is astounding to the point of absurdity. Career managers or people with limited public sector expertise who refuse to accept that technology is at the core of everything the APS does.

Microsoft to refund customers for subscription price hike Microsoft apologises to customers and says it will refund them, after the consumer watchdog alleged the tech giant misled about 2.7 million Australians over subscription costs so they would remain on ...

Let’s hope Microsoft get an expensive lesson from this action: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11... #accc

Cheney dies and Mamdani wins the election. At least now we'll have some certainty as to who'll be running hell and Hell's Kitchen, respectively. #latestnews

Reads as a “things we hate vs. things we don’t really care about”

"During Senate Estimates earlier this year, Services Australia were revealed to still be chasing billions of dollars in decades-old welfare debts, dating as far back as 1979, and contrary to the Royal Commission." just wow.

I’m guessing he polls well at Mar-a-Lago?

I’m wondering how much the Digital Service Standard (et al) played a (terrible) role here in both costs and outcome…?

I was going to say “Hey, Dad!“ but it’s probably too soon. I did enjoy “It’s a knockout” back in the day.

I predict bad remakes of shows that weren't great the first time around.

The 6km pre-dinner run wasn't enough torture, so an additional 2 km post-dinner stroll was on the cards. Now watching the kids destroying what was left of the clean and orderly part of the living room because "Paw Patrol" just finished on the idiot box.

‘I worry about the future of my daughter’: the ‘silent majority’ who care about the climate crisis Readers who are part of the 80-89% of the population who want to see climate action tell us their ideas on how to make their voices heard

“Recent studies show that between 80% — 89% of the world’s population wants to see climate action. Members of this ‘silent majority’ come from all walks of life…’” #ClimateChange

I resent the middle class for joining in the punching down of the less fortunate instead of taking issue with the ultra wealthy and their obscene wealth and largesse. The middle class are closer to poverty than to extreme wealth.

That's a funny way of supporting the Nigeria space program.

and not good Magic cards, either.
