Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

Did a new one

Ooooh, did anyone record it?

What is the difference between "scraping the ocean floor" and "running aground?"

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Shame on Deloitte. Bigger shame on Govt for using them for core public sector work: $440k contract for rubbish: “Deloitte has admitted to using generative AI for a core analytical task; but it failed to disclose this in the first place.”

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Did you read the story or just the headline?

Brave call.

Unconscionable: US plan to destroy $9.7 million of contraceptives MSF condemns the decision to destroy these critical medical supplies, which will have devastating consequences for the communities where we work.

The Trump administration spent $167,000 to destroy $9.7 million worth of birth control and other contraceptives that were supposed to go to low-income countries. Imagine hating helping so much that you’d actually spend money just to make sure others don’t get help.

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

Two measures of music in common time on perpetual repeat. Quarter note equals 80. Three voices needed. Children's choir, which screams any sound they want on the first beat, sforzando. And then silent. Ar -15 which keeps a steady, nonstop beat. And Congress, which is always silent

Ahhh, you Americans. Guns, guns and more guns. Is there any problem, big or small, that they can't solve?

Two scenes. Scene 1: man beside corpse wrapped for burial with PRESS flak jacket on top, Netanyahu on other side. Man says, “Why did you kill him?”.Netanyahu replies, “Because he was Hamas.” Scene 2: same set up, man says, “How do you know he was Hamas?” Netanyahu says, “Because we killed him.”

Hahahhaaa every day a new one of these. It’s “all my apes gone” but somehow even funnier.

He does not miss, aside from completely misunderstanding the PEFO and how governments are formed and the nature of the crossbench. Apart from those three major and fundamental misses, he does not miss.

It's a fundamental misunderstanding of the Pre-Election Financial Outlook, the nature of the new crossbench and how a government is formed in the House of Assembly. Aside from that, it's brilliant.

Very sad to hear about the death of David Dale. He established the long-time cult institution on the back page of the Sydney Morning Herald, the "Stay In Touch" column, with genius cartoonist Matthew Martin, where I subsequently got my my cartooning break. Inveterate trivia buff, foodie and friend.

even other cops call the 'public order' cops thugs.

Watching the #politas count unfold. Hat tip to the 19 voters who put Peter George first and Eric Abetz second. That's really voting across the ballot paper.

Its a hair early for a final verdict, but it's not a good result for Labor. I think the Libs benefited massively in the north from the absence of the JLN this time around, plus some good surplus candidates who couldn't get 50% TTP, but could easily get 12.6% for a quota. Was a good campaign by them.
