Vale Possum Comitatus, who appears to have blocked me from beyond the grave on here today after a brief and mild disagreement about a committee hearing on AI 🤣🤣🤣 #auspol

Ai is smashing it 🤣 "Scott Steel, better known by his prominent online pseudonym Possum Comitatus tragically passed away in April 2024 at the age of 51, drawing tributes across the Australian political and media landscape for his immense contributions to digital journalism and political analysis."

I dont really get what that means. Oh wait, you sound older than twelve, but perhaps not. Will leave you to your rusty BS.

They all have staff. His are kicking it out of the park compared to the others. I'm not an activist, just a regular person who has voted Labor since 87, sick of being tak3n for granted. Give us 150 Pococks I reckon.

Pocock is my local senator, and every time I email him, I get a considered, intelligent, human response in a matter of days. All I get from Gallagher is an auto response pretty much scolding me for emailing her. From Andrew Leigh I get a cookie cutter reponse 4 weeks late. Hooray for potatoes.

Gina Rinehart apparently studied economics for a time. Perhaps the common factor is unhinged accidental billionaire, rather than what field of study they chose.

Yeah, that crappy throw away line doesn't stand up to serious scrutiny Greg.

Go try starting an argument with someone else mate. Not interested in your rusted on nonsense.

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Personally I'm sick of words. Some actions and consequences would be a nice change, on a variety of fronts.

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

It will all be fine Cathy. Our gov is "extremely concerned". That will rein them in.

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Every journo should feel free to go hack an Aussie govt website today rather than bothering with FOI requests. Cheaper, quicker and the only consequence is "we are concerned" #auspol

You know what I looked like in the 80s? I looked cool and happy, because the planet wasn't on fucking fire, the great barrier reef was still worth a visit, and it was still possible to believe humanity had a future.

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

All these pics of people using AI to show themselves from the 80s makes me want to heave. Let's just try and mainstream normalize our hideous misinformation tech with this fun little game. Geez I'm a grumpy bastard.

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

The word "news" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Oh yeah, my issue is definitely with the major party porking. Completely bored by the subsequent reporting about whether or not Albo happens to be an honorary member of the Marrickville club. And also wondering a bit why this story has only popped up now.

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Great outcome, but sounds like a heck of a lot of unnecessary drama because the teacher appears to have done bugger all to clarify what was going on with the dud submission.

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

ALP has rolled out Ros Kelly's whiteboard. Rutherglen Golf Club in #Indi is nearly 100, clubhouse falling apart. Can't even apply. Marrickville GC in PM's Sydney seat got $6mill for clubhouse refurbs, including fixes to the septic system, which I can still smell from 250kms away #auspol

'Misuse of public money': Allegations of pork-barrelling hit government

The Centre for Public Integrity warns that the federal government appears to have pork-barrelled a $560 million "invitation-only" fund, directing the vast majority to safe Labor seats and marginal sea...

What do you mean "if"? Don't you dare check out early! :)

Thankyou for still being here, Sandy. Lovely pics as always :)

Look, at this point if the Russians close in on Washington with a few howitzers, I'd be less upset than a decade ago.

Brisbane coach Chris Fagan : "I do feel sorry for Sydney because they have been such a terrific club in that regard for a long, long time but these sorts of things happen." GET IN THE BIN. #AFL.

His opinions are complete garbage. What he looks like is irrelevant.

Yeah, we may have gone from "Deeply Concerned" to "Outraged", but is long past time for Penny Wong to move the needle all the way across to "Consequences". #auspol #genocide

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

What a day for our pissweak mainstream political parties to choose to ignore the will of the Australian people and prop up the #AFL and their gambling paymasters. Perhaps like Pavlich, Albo and Angus are 'disappointed to find themselves in this situation'? #auspol

Wowsers. That has to be the end of Pavlich at the Swans. What an appalling thing to say. #afl

Hehe, I wasn't WATCHING that nonsense! Was just a quick look at the ABC news for the headlines before bed 🤣 Just got up, so about to look again and roll my eyes...

Andrew Denton has got a hall of fame gong at the Logies tonight, and so well deserved. But his work advocating for Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation, now in place around the country is a lasting achievement for all of us #logies

Mate... Not even close! I thought so too! Looks like it has a few hours left 🤣🤣🤣

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Sounds about right. Also, given the pissweak 44% turnout, fair to say that 'None of the Above' got double the Farage vote. About 44,800 (56%) to 22,200 (27%). Or triple if you count all the votes for loonies as 'None of the above'.

If we must put up with tedious #melongate stories for yet another day, perhaps it is time for Tim "just wear a jumper" Wilson to get traction on Lib housing policy by shoving a couple of hot melons up his jumper to show how he and Bragg think people can stay warm in a shit house #auspol #jumpergate

I love this website, surely my feed did this on purpose :

Does arguing with people on the internet who are clueless about how to fill out the #census religion question count as "unpaid voluntary work"?

Looked like the beginnings of the PR exercise for her next gig to me.

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Forget the religion question, that is EASY. Big shoutout to 10 million households having a massive argument right now about about the "hours of unpaid domestic work". #census

I'm glad you cleared that up :)

This one is well and truly out now ;)

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

It is certainly a huge challenge to get this job done well, and inclusive for as many people as possible. But we should be very proud of our ABS in my opinion. Our census is stellar compared to a bunch of other countries :)

Ian Gay @iangay.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

No you don't. It is preferable, but is perfectly fine to complete it afterwards
