No judgement to said friends who have gone into marketing or PR - but maybe a twinge of jealousy when I learn how much you're paid comparatively.
You do what's right for you and I will sit here being sad and broke about it. #ausjourno #journalism #karaoke
Imagine tanking an election campaign so badly that you break up a 102-year-old alliance. #justduttonthings
Had a dream that I bought an affordable roast chicken.
Cost of living effects are in my goddamn subconscious now.
This is going to be my first election without Antony Green.
I miss him already.
If I was in the white house and was going to sack Pete Hegseth, I wouldn't even tell him.
I'd just add him to the group chat discussing his replacement and act like he wasn't there.
For any Henry Blodgets reading this, a small PSA: If you are going to try and fuck your computer, you NEED to have up-to-date antivirus.
An election ad claiming Peter Dutton has 'a plan' is likened to Dutch Van der Linde's empty promises of the same from Red Dead Redemption 2.
HE HAS A PLAN, ARTHUR! JUST HAVE FAITH!

So I've been scoping out flights for a trip later in the year.
For approximately the same cost, I could go to Singapore, Malaysia, S Korea and Japan and then back home.
Or I could go from Griffith to Melbourne 1.5 times.
Regional accessibility is an absolute joke. #flights #regionalaus #rex
oh my god he's done it again
Confession time:
I pretty much dismiss on sight any media release or request that comes through that includes 'Happy FriYAY' or 'MonYAY' or any sort of Yay.
If we're close enough for you to get away with that level of casualness, we're close enough for you to know how poorly that will go over.
a picture of Milchick from Severance, poorly painted over to be wearing Wolverine's costume in reference to a bizarre animalistic jump he did onto a vending machine in the season finale.
why did Milchick jump like that though??? I could almost hear Hugh Jackman growling #severance #milchick #wolverine
If people need a bit of catharsis from the news right now, The new Wolfenstein games are on sale on Playstation.
Presented for no particular reason.
It's a weird feeling to be living in such a global newsworthy time, and still plodding away with local news.
Don't get me wrong, local news is important and we need more of it but... sometimes it's hard to be motivated to do 'Town angry about state of parks' stories when the planet is collapsing.
fuck me it's going to be a long few years.

This is the best I've ever looked in a photo, frankly.
Nicholas Hoult is Timothee Chalamet for people who think they're too good for Timothee Chalamet.
Last month, the so-called American Academy of Sciences and Letters gave a medal to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who advocated for mass COVID infection. NY Post framed it as a “top award.”
We looked into it. AASL is 2 years old—part of a right-wing dark money network trying to transform elite universities.
Upper management and finance types might disagree on this, but boots-on-ground journalism is a co-op sport, not a competitive one.
I see outlets bemoan that there's no local government coverage, but there's little solidarity or support for the regional papers that are handling it.

They each add some new voices or analysis, and you end up with a whole picture of what is going on - of who is going to be impacted and how.
No single newsroom can do it alone. Especially these days.
But in regional newsrooms, that's what you have to do. Constantly. While also living there.
The issue with regional journalism that cuts me, more than anything else, is the isolation from the rest of Australian media.
What creates groundbreaking journalism is building off other work. SMH/Age breaks something, which is picked up by the ABC, which is interpreted by Crikey and the Guardian.
Crushed to hear today that the Dart Centre Asia Pacific will be closing down operations at end of January 2025 - due to a lack of funding.
All staff redundant.
They have done such amazing work and been a fantastic resource for so many journalists, myself included. Will be sorely missed.

Australia – case study 1 The Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) investigated a minor (who was 16 years at the time of offending) following initial reporting they were mobilising to commit an act of ideologically motivated violent extremism (IMVE). JCTTs exist in all states and territories of Australia and consist of the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the relevant State or Territory Police, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) and, in New South Wales (NSW), the NSW Crime Commission. The minor was part of a loosely connected online network involving hundreds of local and international participants, some of whom shared similar IMVE ideologies. The minor was sharing IMVE documents, images and videos, and advocating for attacks on persons of non-Caucasian appearance, and urged others to prepare for an upcoming race war to ‘defend the white race’. This included discussing carrying out a mass killing offshore, posting about live-streaming a shooting on Facebook, requesting assistance in bomb-making, praising mass shooters, and suggesting the targeting of ‘high profile enemies’. During the JCTT investigation, the minor was observed to have very few real-world relationships which consisted primarily of work colleagues and family members. He did not participate in any extra-curricular activities and appeared to spend limited time socialising offline. The risk of the minor undertaking some form of physical attack was assessed as too great, so the AFP moved to overt resolution. The minor was charged with advocating terrorism and urging violence against members or groups. The arrest of the minor and dissemination of intelligence to international partners also led to the arrest of a person of interest offshore who had links to the minor’s Telegram posting. The minor was sentenced to an 18-month term of imprisonment with a non-parole period of 14 months. Upon sentence expiry, the minor was an adult and was released into the community on an Interim Control Or…
The two Australian case studies in the Five Eyes release today about youth radicalisation are both white supremacist/far right radicalisation examples... The spy agencies tend to be a bit reluctant to call this out in isolation because of the politics around it. www.asio.gov.au/system/files...
If you want to learn a lot about your friends and loved ones this holiday season, give them five minutes and a captive audience.
So this weekend, I am hosting a get-together with a single rule.
All attendees must give a 5min presentation on a topic of their choice. Can be serious or silly, academic or casual.
Pitches so far include 'Radiohead' (just to piss me off), 'A History of M-Preg Fiction' and a Shibari demonstration.
There's an argument to be made that with the escalating self-infantilisation of adults on social media, removing children from it will do nothing.
A growing number of adults may simply take the role of children.
Completely betrayed when I overheard the barista call somebody else "gorgeous"
That was OUR thing, sweetheart 💔
I just need half an hour for a nervous breakdown, and then I'll be fine.
A small, fluffy black and white shih tzu cross that owns all of my heart forever.
Some Daisy content for the mill.
