Yeah mate I think they mean you too.
A long-haired miniature dachshund on a lead standing in front of a fence. He’s looking slightly quizzical.  The fence has a hand-written sign on it. The sign reads:

Please
do not pee
on the wall
and fence!!! 
Do not pee!!!!
Do not pee!!!!

Hey kids if you like Ed Sheeran but don't like his apolitics you're going to love quirky folk singer of the 1960s, Donovan

My favourite band that famously kept politics out of it is Rage Against The Machine.

Your yearly reminder that if you don't have a plan to follow through if the answer to asking "R U OK?" is "no" then don't do it.

This one was a lot of fun to present but really hard to write. Both of us found the subject matter depressing but the on-stage result was delightfully chaotic.

The Claude text watermarking thing is hilarious. So many people getting upset about it as if for some reason they don't want people to know they're using Claude to generate text for them? I wonder why that is?

With all this ALP leadership bullshit I bet it means we'll still have fucking Group Voting Tickets for this election. Fucking ALP learn the _right_ lessons as to why Dan Andrews was popular instead of immediately going back to your triangulatory bullshit and wondering why nobody likes you anymore.

OpenAI's latest PR release.
Based on a previous meme template, a badly drawn figure is at a badly drawn computer. The figure says to the computer "put on a black hoodie and say i'm in". The computer responds "I'M IN". The figure says "oh my god".

I just noticed the distinct similarity in rough design between Count Binface's helmet and Klek de Poitrine's head. Same species of alien, perhaps?
Count Binface. Of note is that the "visor" of his helmet lights up, while his "mouth" is at human eye level.Klek de Poitrine, of the band Angine de Poitrine. Of note is that his eyes light up, and his "mouth" visibly has rather human-looking eyes looking out through it.
