So I'm on the record, I'd rather inconvenience and zero deaths, than what we have now. Insult me if you please, or block me.

Dutton has the worldview of a Queensland cop, someone once wrote. We should take that seriously via @crikey_news crikey.com.au/2025/01/29/pet…

A @guardian investigation finds over 3,000 imports into Australia were from companies blacklisted over Uyghur forced labor, the first assessment of the large and growing scale of Xinjiang-linked imports into the country.
Nations that fail to act become complicit.

Yep. TBF, as long as the country has a military justice system that enforces the Geneva Conventions for its military, then the ICC is deprived of jurisdiction. It is only in cases like Israel, where the jurisdiction of the ICC gets invoked

Tasmania’s waters are being destroyed by toxic salmon farming, yet Peter Dutton wants laws to protect this destructive industry.
Tasmanians are demanding action to save marine life, not sell it out to foreign-owned giants like JBS. #politas

The more Dotton imbibes American electoral calculus, the better I like it. He's training a whole team to lose.

He’s turning it off. Expert advice is that it’s the only way to keep teens off social media. RIP NBN.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will make a major election commitment on the National Broadband Network this morning, as Labor and the Coalition swing into campaign mode. ab.co/4avTb2h

I love that Zuckerberg just came out and said people abandoning his apps by the hundreds of thousands are "virtue signalers" and that they're going to start AI generating their own users. BOTS CAN'T BUY SERVICES FROM YOUR ADVERTISERS MARK.

Went with @JosephineCrow16 to North Sydney Oval for the Au-Eng women's ODI today. For its age and shortcomings, it's a lovely oval.
And the women attract a friendly, happy fan base; with an emphatic Au win, it was a great day!

Excellent article by @iainthomson for @TheRegister on national treasure @marcwrogers’ luminous career with a commentary on why his broken neck needs a crowdsourced fundraiser in the richest country in the world to aid his recovery. theregister.com/2025/01/07/d…

All image generation models fail to display analog times that *aren’t* 10:10.
Try it, any model you want. No matter what time you request, there’s a >99% chance the hands show 10:10.
The models are essentially poisoned by an advertising decision; here's what happened.

I'm stingy with "benefit of the doubt" and disinclined to think well of Dreyfus, but ... do you really think what landed in the SMH represents what will really be on his agenda in Israel?

The drunk in the hotel lift just told me "woe, man, your hair is scary" which, look, I don't quite get?

Put the dead into your poems without garbing them in your grief. Give them cake, put on their favorite music. Listen to their gossip. Let them tell you how they've learned to bake bread. To carve clarinet reeds. Let them comb your hair. Help them remember the color orange.

This is a real shame, that Melissa has stepped aside 'for the Labor Party' over pro Palestine comments.
