Channel 9 news is on at work. WTF! Simplistic, biased, gotcha crap. What's concerning is that people take it in. Our media are a massive part of the problem. Boycott them

I don't know if people realize how valuable retweeting indie developers is. It can add 100s of wishlists to an indie game, which can accumulate to mean the difference between a developer being able to finish a game and forcing them back into a 9 to 5 job. Maseylia is now Out on Steam! Thanks all :)

The media have the power to make Hanson’s tyrannical attitudes and behaviour a central issue, and their failure to use this power has only emboldened her.

When people make threats, they reach first for the thing that would terrify them into compliance. When people throw insults, they reach first for the words that they would find hurtful. Trump's "truth" about the Vatican speaks volumes.

In a global energy crisis, we need to use all levers to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, including extending EV subsidies like the FBT exemption, and cutting back on the diesel fuel tax credit scheme. My piece in today’s Saturday Paper: thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topic/… via @SatPaper

More than 60% of Australian medical researchers left active research roles between 2019 & 2024 because they could not make ends meet - while my costings from the PBO suggest the govt could more than double annual spending from the MRFF without any effect on its base level of funding.

abc.net.au

Up to $1.4 billion in medical research remains unused under government cap

Researchers say securing funding has become increasingly tough, with many left with no choice but to spend a disproportionate amount of time applying for grants.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Politicians are outnumbered by lobbyists in Parliament House 15 to one; on sitting days hundreds of lobbyists roam the halls in Canberra, meeting with Ministers to influence government policies. My Clean Up Politics Act would shine a light on lobbyists’ activities.

Time to end the lobbying protection racket

The number of lobbyists seeking to influence the federal government has soared, yet they’re bound by secrecy that stifles honest business.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

NDIS in Australia have achieved a new low. A plan reassessment resulted in funding being cut to a service. Effective immediate from the phone call where this was announced to me. The fact I had an appointment booked for the next morning didn't matter, so I get a surprise $300 bill. #auspol #ndis

The problem isn't that government departments are woefully inefficient. The problem is that government departments are required to publish their inefficiency in a public forum, while private industry can pretend they don't have the same bullshit.

Tariffs by US against allies like Canada, etc are setup for blaming other countries for US economic collapse. US is the victim in an abusive relationship with its current president, and needs the same kind of counselling as any other DV victim.
