Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

'From the river to the sea' and 'globalise the intifada' banned in Queensland Sweeping new hate speech laws banning certain expressions in a way that makes a member of the public feel menaced, harassed or offended have passed in Queensland Parliament.

Queensland Labor opposes the Crisafulli government's criminalisation of speech labelling the consultation on the bill as a sham. The government had the numbers & now it will be illegal to utter/write the two phrases or face up to 2yrs imprisonment. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Don’t dance on Kyle and Jackie O’s grave – they were the best thing on radio There is no word other than sneering to describe the generally inner-city, ABC-listening critics of FM radio’s most successful duo.

worse imo, he defers to the tastes of "tradies, suburban parents, retail workers and builders" as more real (paraphrasing) than the sneering classes

it's a millenial John Howard battler-as-authentic view

Last year, 50 Australians were serving on US attack submarines, and that number was on the rise.

The Albanese Government must answer whether Australian troops were used in this attack.

If we don't want to be involved in this war, withdraw Australian troops.

I really don't understand how Koziol fell, he was great in his roaming role here in Sydney profiling all the shitty boomer and urban affairs stuff. now this? so weird

he didn't even need to write this article!

know I’m AI-posting a lot today, but holy shit read the linked lawsuit for this. this is probably the worst of these so far, by far (contingent on the brief being accurate, which isn’t guaranteed). the other ones were people with existing ideation not being stopped, this actively pushed him.

a facebook post from me at the time of Sandilands wedding, when Anthony Albanese and Chris Minns attended

28 Apr 2023

in what world is Kyle Sandilands "someone who is a significant public figure, is a part of what is an Australian success story." and not 'vile and repugnant'. yes, those are the words of our PM.

let's count back some of the things he's said and done that make up "significant" and "success [ful]":

- interviewed a teenager where:

[from wikipedia] After initially sounding very uncomfortable with the questioning, the girl began crying and said she had been raped when she was 12, and that her mother was already aware of this. Sandilands replied: "Right... is that the only experience you've had?" this was live on -air, with the 14yo strapped to a lie detector

- called people with Down Syndrome "mongs"

among other words, used terms like "spider baby", "retards", "spastics" to refer to disabled people

- tried to say that doctors and scientists were wrong, and that smoking wasn't actually that bad for you

- regularly fat-shamed people, including telling Magda Szubanski "You put her in a concentration camp and you watch the weight fall, like she could be skinny.". Magda is of course of Polish background, famously where the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz was located

- the Virgin Mary was a liar who got "chock-a-blocked" behind a camel shed.

- he called a journalist "a fat bitter thing" and a "piece of shit", threatening to "hunt her down" for reporting on the poor audience reaction to his dud TV project

and Koziol would like to believe the below is just "ammunition" for those clickbait stories you can just ignore because tradies love smutty jokes

the revelation of a rape of a 12yo, by the victim, 14 live on air was simply "mishandled" with Kyle - "Right ... is that the only experience you’ve had?"

you don't get to pass judgement if you're not a real Aussie like the above

Koziol thinks Sandilands' show is "an exemplar of the medium", a "world-class product" because of its "real banter" misrepresented by "quotes printed in clickbait news stories"

if you're a Kyle Sandilands hater you're part of the "sneering classes, holier-than-thou, don’t appreciate the tone and don’t get the full context", you "look down upon on the tradies, suburban parents, retail workers and builders who love it"

it's not about the impact on you though, it's the whole platform that is a cesspit, ideologically

you see people, who used to be normal politically, radicalised because they see so much nazi and nazi adjacent stuff they think it's normal.

those genuine, normal accounts are deep-frying their brains

I genuinely don't understand what it is about the NYT that turns successful journalists into weird little sickos fixated on making life worseβ€”in myriad ways, big and smallβ€”for their most vulnerable neighbors. Surely nobody gets into journalism WANTING to afflict the afflicted

yes, moving country and leaving one social media platform for its clone where all the normal people went exactly the same. great logic

This guy is too funny man. The Labor government is only 1% away from falling into third place behind One Nation, but actually the poll is a disaster for the Coalition.

And believe it or not, he’s actually closer to reality than most Labor folk who still can’t accept the Hanson is coming for them.
