Surely he's the Martha Stewart of fund-my-bro-tech without the ability to goffer the edge of a hostess apron, run a magazine & homewares empire and partner with Snoop Dog for cash?

Almost certain she didn't like somebody looking like they're from one end of 'normal' spectrum.

Good tram ride home chatting to stranger in wild clothes while a mean lady rolled eyes & harrumphily moved away. Stranger & I talked archaic hobbies (think: painting miniatures) & philosophy & thoughts on DV. As I got off, stranger & new person started chatting. Score: mean lady 0 vs Strangers 3.

Women with PMOS should get subsidised weight loss drugs, advocates say

With GLP-1s to treat the condition not specifically approved by the TGA, patients are being prescribed them off-label

Have just caught up with The Age spruiking its upcoming talkfest called Melbourne Assembly. While NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani is busy being global city chief of the decade, the paper has invited the ex-mayor Bill de Blasio. Why not search his name & 'scandal' if you have a spare hour or so?

Every one of these coins looks like it was illustrated by an engineer with an AI clip-art fetish who fought off proper graphic designers with a T-square, and a ruler, and a spirit level, and another ruler.

If you're going to write about First Nations & Indigenous issues please stop using the old colonial & discredited word 'Aborigines' unless in attributed quotes. White people have repeatedly been asked not to - by Aboriginal people.

Lots of powerful folk eulogising the late criminal, thieving liar (& author) Jeffrey Archer. So far no quotes sought from junior Tory staffers, wait staff, publicists & assistants (etc) about what it was like dodging the hands & leering suggestions of a notorious creep convinced he was attractive.

ChatGPT is adding the signatures of real New Yorker cartoonists to its AI-generated images. So far, I've found the signatures of more than 15 contributors. "It’s slop, and unlike the other slop that I’ve encountered, this is slop that’s pretending to be me." www.niemanlab.org/2026/10/chat...

Will the withdrawal of free universal Covid vaccines be replaced with other free vaccines (MMR for adults) & proper rebates for iron infusions for women, weight-loss medication for people who need it but aren't diabetic, etc? Or will we just give polluting companies more of our money?

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

US campus rape scandals remind me of the seemingly endless, hideous history of Sydney Uni's St Pauls College. And of all the private boys' schools. And the intermittent AFL player horrors. And the perennial rugby ones. And .... and .... and ... #ReallyTakingItSeriouslyThisTimeSaysSpokesman

Pacy little honeymoon they had there. The #Greens Party policy to abandon Ukraine to the merciless Putin is as ethically bereft as our government sending bomber bits to Israel while it's trying to obliterate Gaza. Stand against war criminals or stay home. Who dis? New vote.

Brave young women who understand they will have to protect each other, showing solidarity. So many of their male classmates, their university staff, cops, lawyers and local prosecutors have turned out to be rapists or rape enablers, apologists & bystanders. #waragainstwomen #cornell

What a misunderstanding of what people want from art. Like those tiktokkitygram AI romance 'stories' based on fairytales but with all the fun & weirdness sucked out, plus dire dialogue. People want to feel things & have a connection, they don't yearn to shrug 'oh that can be classified as music'.

There's just way too much to be very cross about, today. The Australian government investing OUR MONEY in EllenMusk's stupid space project and weapons companies is next level crap. I've disagreed with governments before but I've never been this disappointed in one.

I am imagining all the hundreds of people talking to Bogong Moths this week. 'Thanks for dropping in, maybe call first next time'; 'Oh, haiii, byeee'; 'Sorry my porch light discombobulated you'; 'Please, seriously, just go'.

Lotta straight women tired of wondering who's a 'good bloke', or pretend 'good bloke', or guy who'll do nowt to change things even for his own daughters, or a no-hoper, child-exploitation enthusiast, wife-drugger, former rapist, rapist, or rapist enabler. Safer to get a shitzu with anger issues.

EDITORIAL | Cornell Won’t, We Will

Horrible story. Student journalists doing the JOB, braver & more dedicated to truth & public interest than a lot of mainstream media proprietors. I hope every Australian school & uni is also now scared of lawsuits from students who've been harassed and attacked. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

The Editorial Board demands that Cornell stops protecting the alleged Chi Phi rapists through the University's opaque sexual assault policies.

My brief time as a jnr finance reporter on a daily city newspaper right before a major stock market crash taught me so much: the experts don't know what is coming & can't say for sure what's happening now, but wow in terms of past events & trends they really can't agree on what they were or why.
