That people don't want low effort slop is apparently too complicated for the slop vendors to comprehend. Guess they'll have to just keep stuffing this unwanted garbage into everything
This article (£) in the FT shows the scale of the global supply shock. It’s not just oil. It’s naphtha, sulphur, bromine, helium, urea. All are key inputs into strategic industries like semiconductors, petrochemicals, agriculture and metallurgy www.ft.com/content/dd24...

You can tell how much the Albanese govt cares about the poor victims of the Iranian regime by the way they ... change visa laws to stop them seeking protection here.

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️
I'm a game design genius
Australian media isn’t covering this but what’s happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cuba’s last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, it’s getting worse.
Cool idea. Read the article too, good caveats provided by the dev
What is that app/site if you don't mind me asking?
Already reason enough for a punch in the face
Late last year, I asked the Government how many military export permits they had approved to Sudan. They didn't answer at the time, and they are still hiding. Meanwhile, the people of Sudan are facing devastating violence.
Solidarity with Vanessa Turnbull Roberts. An old, shitty story that keeps happening. The real 'cancel culture' is women's careers being cut short or derailed when they need to choose safety. Because apparently we're not always entitled to both.
Lmao coppers get the union representation they deserve

Wonderful synchronicity
I asked Defence where Major General King now works having recently left his job in the Department overseeing billions in contracts for companies like Lockheed Martin... can you guess where he went too?
Meanjin returns home Queensland University of Technology (QUT) will become the new custodian of Meanjin, Australia's most eminent literary journal, bringing the publication back to Brisbane 80 years after it relocated to Melbourne. QUT Vice-Chancellor Professor Margaret Sheil said: "QUT is delighted to bring Meanjin home to Meanjin / Magandjin - the lands of the Turbal and Yugara peoples - where the journal was founded and where our Gardens Point campus now stands.
MUP deserves our unreserved contempt forever and ever but hey this is a rare bit of good news for Aus arts.
All of the footage is NSW cops assaulting peaceful protesters. They are a disgrace.
Chris Minns gave them licence to be as violent as they want.
It wasn’t impossible - the cops where there to incite violence. And Albanese (and everyone else) knew this would happen and he let it.
we’re told to value cohesion right up until someone asks to be paid, housed, or listened to.
as long as “social cohesion” is indistinguishable from “shut up and do what you’re told” the *only* moral response is to refuse.

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist
Sad news. Tasmania, and Australia has lost a truly great man.
Jon became a good friend of mine over the last 5-6 years, probably longer, my memory of these things isn’t that good.
Rest in peace Jon. 💔

Devastating news. Vale, Jon.
Putting Segal in charge of anything was an act of gross maladministration
This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...
Australia declines to join statement criticising Israel for Unrwa demolition The Albanese government has declined to sign up to an international statement expressing concern about Israel demolishing an aid agency’s headquarters. The foreign ministers of 11 nations, including the UK, Canada and France, strongly condemned Israel for demolishing the East Jerusalem headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa) in a joint statement issued on 28 January. It called on Israel “to fully abide by its obligations to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip in accordance with international law”, saying current aid levels were inadequate. Canberra was invited to join the most recent declaration, but declined the offer without an explanation, one diplomatic source told AAP.
The @albomp.bsky.social is defined by cowardice in the face of evil.
A govt complicit in the worst abuses.
It supports Israel’s genocide and funds the US military.
