Congratulations to lawyer and human rights activist Navanethem “Navi” Pillay on her Nobel Peace Prize. Few have devoted their lives to justice, peace and human dignity like she did.

An obligation to remit GST is not a 'tax bill'. That's other people's tax that you collected on behalf of the ATO. It's not your money. If you're remitting GST on a credit card at usurious interest rates, your business is already fkd. Or was that so you could score some nice frequent flyer points?

#AUKUS is a massive waste of money, is strategically stupid, and represents Australia giving up what little national sovereignty we have left for the privilege of being an ATM for the US and UK governments. And now we can add; corrupt. #EndAUKUS #aispol www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if AI can't improve productivity of coding, then all other claims about productivity improvements are essentially horseshit. Coding was the one thing everyone was like "well yeah of course it will be able to do that faster"

ABC 7.30 is biased in favour of Aust alliances & talking points? A casual observer of the program knows that already. Sarah Ferguson has a glaringly obvious difference in tone, language and questions depending on whether the guest is from an allied country or not. www.ettemedia.com/war-of-words...

I'm feeling attacked by @theonion.com but also 10/10.

"How a Book Becomes A Bestseller, The Onion demystifies the publishing process."

1. Proletariat becomes literate.
2. Author's creative inspiration flourishes upon marrying spouse with high-earning, unethical job.
3. Author chooses magical being to have sex with, then works backwards.
4. Author lands agent by running full speed into them while holding loose-leaf copy of manuscript.
5. Penguin Random House blackmailed into seven-figure book deal.
6. Editor removes typos and originality.
7. Famous author who hasn't read book reminded they got three glowing blurbs last year from authors who hadn't read theirs.
8. Publisher contacts Merriam-Webster to license all words it's using.
9. Marketing completely misrepresents plot, tone, and author.
10. Terrified independent bookstore owners gamble their razor-thin profit margin on this one.
11. PR firm hires thousands of people through Craigslist to performatively read book on subway.
12. Colman Domingo, contractually obligated to appear in all things, voices audiobook.
13. New York Times oracle nods.
14. Book written for sole purpose of becoming movie becomes movie.

If someone threatens to withdraw investment because they are not getting their way, that does rather suggest that, until now, they have been getting their way.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democra.... #USpol #USA In Australia we can eat and drink whilst in line on election day. In fact because our elections are compulsory and held on a Saturday, School halls are used as polling Stations. Schools fundraise by selling food and drink. We celebrate our Democracy.

Vibrant you say @atlanticbirding.bsky.social? Well, you know what's coming ... a #RainbowLorikeet of course. These vibrant beauties certainly brighten up any day. My 'feathered rainbows'. #BirdOfTheDay #Black&White: Main theme #Vivid: Alt theme #Birds #ECK #Australia

A Rainbow Lorikeet sits on a cross branch in front of a background of a green bushy tree.

The rainbow lorikeet is a vibrant parrot about 30 cm long, known for its colourful plumage, which includes a blue head and tummy, red curved beak, green wings, and an orange-yellow breast. They are highly social and energetic birds, often found in flocks, and primarily feed on nectar and pollen.
