I beat Silksong, which I think is a pretty good achievement given how much brain fog has been going on in this skull lately.

That TikTok account has a few fake videos of reporters getting detained. They make these videos because itโ€™s a big story in the news. Real reporters are getting arrested. And so people are making AI videos to get engagement on TikTok.

Sportsbet dines with government minister at Labor fundraiser despite calls to reject lobbying from industry Exclusive: Dinner occurred on the same day that four crossbench MPs held a press conference calling on government to ignore lobbying from gambling industry

Every time the government accepts money from the gambling industry, it increases its debts to companies whose business models are based on preying on young and vulnerable people, and doing them harm.

The Albanese government does this again and again.

It's a brilliant Brisbane Spring day, I'm sitting in a cafe drinking an iced mocha, and I don't have anything specific to do. Sometimes it's good to savour the little joys in life when you can.

Watt nears deal with Coalition to finally overhaul environment laws Environment Minister Murray Watt will sit down with his Liberal counterpart Angie Bell today, with quiet optimism in both parties that a deal might soon be struck to finally rewrite Australia's "broke...

Just so weโ€™re clear: Labor is choosing to work with the worst possible party on environmental issues, instead of the Greens and teals who actually want environmental regulation.
And Watt is already admitting it wonโ€™t have a climate trigger โ€ฆ

When the AFP chief talks about the need to strengthen hate speech laws, why does she mean speech critical of Israel and not this:

Almost 55,000 children in Gaza acutely malnourished, Lancet study estimates Study shows clear link between Israeli restrictions on aid entering Gaza and levels of malnutrition among children

With so much destruction - to people (over 1 in 10 killed / injured) and to infrastructure (90% of schools damaged / destroyed) - a ceasefire would be only the very beginning of recovery.

As Jewish people know well, trauma can last generations.

One of the things I hate is when organisations change the name of their jobs to sound less "corporate" because all it does is obscure what jobs people actually have, and makes it harder to find the right person to contact.

Media flurry about the biomarker test for ME. ๐Ÿงช

It's a promising discovery stage study but what needs to be done to turn this into a validated biomarker?! ๐Ÿงต

Dear Package Delivery Companies: Just tell me when you deliver my package. I don't need to know:
1. That it's leaving the depot
2. That it's in transit (I intuited that from the previous text)
3. That it's about to be delivered, and
4. That it has indeed just been delivered

Tbh I wish I could stop using Facebook - I gave up Threads and my public-facing Instagram, but messenger (and to a lesser extent FB) is just too ingrained in my day-to-day communication and I haven't been able to convince everyone to jump ship to elsewhere yet. Slowly working on it, though.

Went to a professional development today and I have to say I was very impressed with the air quality in the building - I checked my CO2 monitor periodically and never saw it get above 600ppm!
