Australia's foreign policy has been weak as proverbial since Keating, with perhaps Rudd as the brief exception. It surely contradicts the known laws of physics for anyone to actually, physically like Richard Marles

The age where one in six boys is now on the NDIS
Australian children are still flocking to the NDIS, even as the government begins designing a way to help families outside the $46 billion program.

Lolol. OpenAI lost just a lazy $20b in its reported 12-month financials 💩 . Losses growing year on year. Surely, they are running out of greater fools to buy this ludicrous hyperscale LLM story 🫧💥 Via @edzitron.com m.youtube.com/watch?v=UnLR... @alankohler.bsky.social

The number 1, 2 and 3 priority of US is to get the money out of politics. Stack the courts; do whatever. The 50-year trickle-down assault on the population has only 'lifted all boats' of the oligarchs

The Coalition’s plan to index income tax scales to inflation may work on paper, but critics argue it risks fuelling inflation, blowing out the budget and tying the RBA in knots. Indexing income tax scales — another bad idea from the Coalition ~ @thekouk.bsky.social

2025 goes down as the ~3rd-warmest year on record (based on ERA5). Like in 2024, every single day this past year was warmer than the average of even the most recent reference period (1991-2020).

Like $3 m super tax reform which sailed through with easy public support, cut down low-hanging cap gains tax benefits (especially housing), eg sale of assets >~$5 m. Likewise, franking credits refunds for individuals >$5 m etc. Family trusts similarly. Opponents can't win these fights

He's scared. Tesla sales are tanking, California is about to rule that "Full Self-Driving" is false advertising, Starship keeps blowing up, SpaceX loses too much money to IPO, and XAI is burning $10 billion/year for the 4th place chatbot. It's over, he knows it, and only corruption can save him.
