All schoolboys were once obsessed with the Super S, dick and balls, and looking up rude words in the dictionary.

The professor in the article notes the Western Treatment Plant without acknowledging that the wetlands the plant feeds is the second largest in Australia after Kakadu and is a vital migratory stop for so many species. Itโ€™s true that a lot of wastewater does end up in the ocean, so thereโ€™s potential.

What we know about water use of the over 250 data centres in Australia Australia has more than 250 data centres and more in the pipeline, prompting experts to warn against using drinking water to cool servers.

Itโ€™s true that we should be building data centres near wastewater treatment plants. Theyโ€™re already giant chunks of shit so why not just feed them with shit at the same time?

But seriously, wastewater is the only option, but again donโ€™t take it from the environment.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Itโ€™s kinda interesting the way gay viewers criticised a show like Looking for not being representative (although it was) or sexy enough (but it was) maybe cause it hit too close to home? And then stuff like Boots and Heated Rivalry come along with their gay porn fitness bods and nobody bats an eye.

I told one guy when he said that after a date, โ€œI know how these things go and so Iโ€™ll just leave it there.โ€ And his response suggested he knew in the first place.

The documentary exposing the realities of aged care with humour and heart Filmmaker Sue Thomson recently lost her mum. But before that, they made the beautiful documentary Careless together, which explores Australia's aged care system mess.

Worried about growing old in Australia? Sue Thomsonโ€™s funny, frank and fierce doco Careless is must-see stuff. Hereโ€™s our chat ab.co/4iNHhF4

Superstar Twiggy on the documentary of her storied life For the first time, the much-loved English model, actress and singer tells her own story in a new documentary by Sadie Frost.

This lovely chat with Twiggy (and director Sadie Frost) about the documentary of her life made my year, because the living legend sent her love to my mum bit.ly/3MF6CVm

To say nothing of stuff that actually works (although I suspect new versions of old tech would be just as shoddy as anything else these days).

Itโ€™s not like Google had thousands of staff personally scouring the internet for results to then deliver to us whenever we searched something. The new AI functionality is doing the exact same thing, doing it worse, and it cost lots of money to develop. Where is the upside here?!?

This is the thingโ€ฆ google literally built their name, their purpose, their business on being a search engine that worked extremely well! Now because of bullshit like this their reputation is basically mud and only continue to exist out of social malaise and humanityโ€™s inability to change. Stupid.

Fear rules on gambling in Albanese government Andrew Wilkie has asked the PM to allow a free vote on banning gambling advertising and it appears many Labor MPs would support it.

โ€œAustralians lose close to $32 billion a year from gamblingโ€ but โ€œLabor's leadership decided it was not worth acting on gambling advertising and upsetting the powerful lobbyโ€.
Pure ALP.

The Saint - Love Theme (Finale)
YouTube video by Howler487 The Saint - Love Theme (Finale)

Graeme Revell just casually dropping this incredible "Love Theme" into the terrible film version of THE SAINT from the 1990s. It's so gorgeous and if anything went this hard in 2025 in a film as disposable as Phillip Noyce's was we'd probably be doing a little bit better.

That Jacinta Allen is or is not popular has absolutely zero to do with a news story about an vehicular accident involving a teenager at Schoolies. There doesn't even need to be a photo of her at all, let alone with a caption that reads, "Allen is less popular than her opposition." Like, okay?

A perfect example of how right-wing (or right-wing affiliated) news outlets stoke divisional talking points even when they have no relevance whatsoever. Literally just weeks after James Packer attacks the Labor gov, Channel 9's news platform includes an entirely irrelevant Jacinta Allen diss.
