Is this the bloke who did corporate theft and went to jail for corporate crime that now wants to set up another corporation to thieve from people, after running a bitcoin scam? Is that really who you're pumping up here, SMH?

How a conga-line of Prime Ministers for Sydney worshiped at the altar of this deeply unappealing and obvious creep is a mystery to the rest of Australia.

Teenage me (that is, back in the late 80s) would have been astonished that it would cost over $100.00 to see TISM, that they would still be around in 2026, and that they're pretty much a mainstream band now.

Dude, he played almost 200 games for you, helped you win three flags and get the prestige that comes from winning two Brownlow medals. I am not sure why you expect more compensation for him.

Probably because he started a completely unnecessary war, killed thousands of people, provided weapons and funding to Israel to kill Palestinians, and is a rapist.

Not a Radiohead fan, but JFC, when it comes to music criticism, this is a red flag. In the end, (I think it was) Elvis Costello who said that there isn't such a thing as good music or bad music, just music you like and music you don't like.

“Hanson began her political career, in local government, with a campaign to prevent the building of a library in Ipswich because she thought it was a waste of ratepayers’ money. It is hard to discern much change in her outlook thirty years later.”

Outstanding show of solidarity from Turkish side Konyaspor in their friendly against the Palestinian national team. They showered the pitch in teddies to be donated to children and suspended the match at 89:59 with a message stating 'Until Palestine is free, the match has been postponed'.

It was never beautiful. I have a fix. Fill it with trees, tables and chairs, and umbrellas or some other sort of cover. Open up bars in the surrounding area and allow them to serve patrons in the square.

Bogong moths numbers have surged after years of decline, flying evidence of an ancient transfer of vital nutrients from lowlands to the fragile high country.

When people here get upset about datacenters, it's "an inauthentic American import" but when the fascists come along with their opposition to abortion, trans people, wind farms, vaccines and facts, it's just "regular mums and dads with legitimate concerns".
Guardian: "Australian politicians and business leaders are arguing that their populace’s growing resentment of AI datacentres is an inauthentic import from the United States."
