Also, is Dave saying that he voted Labor after his tantrums about Covid lockdowns? I would like to interrogate that.

A 'lifelong Labor voter' just concerned about the power of the union movement and convinced the party of capital doesn't have any money. He is suck a fucking dickhead.

Hughes claimed while Labor had theỗẠỗmassive union movement behind

them", most Liberal candidates "don't have money behind them" and were
struggling like every other Victorian.

"So that's why I want to help them out, he said.

My only share purchase was in T2. Used some of my compo from the shooting. I can still book the loss any time.

I get that they need to check but if banks allow longer names containing special characters, that needs to be provided for in the payment system too.

My Bank: when trying to pay someone you can't use '&' in a name and it must be fewer than 36 characters. Me: inserts part of the account name, omitting the '&' My Bank: THE NAMES DO NOT MATCH!!!!! ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE NOT BEING SCAMMED????!!!!???? Me: click 'proceed' My Bank: ARE YOU REALLY SURE?

Full disclosure: that Howard interview was from 2015. However, the Rodent had been out of office for 8 years before it, in an election in which he also lost his seat.

Yeah. My partner just does one way and PT the other. I like to do both directions. It means I have to have no evening commitments to do it though.

It isn't until I speak to normal people, that I remember that a 60km round trip is actually a long distance.

RanTLaw @rantlaw.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

A reasonable suggestion but it's not the distance, itself, that I find challenging. It's the time it takes. I like to get in early, so that means having breakfast and getting ready very early. That's the part that's difficult when adjusting to DST.

If I was closer to the city, it would have been okay but my commute is 30km one way.

RanTLaw @rantlaw.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

So, planning to restart the bike commute into work the week after daylight saving started was a bit overly optimistic.

I get the consent concerns. And feeding more stuff into the LLM chumbox creates some issues for me. But I think we are supposed to be most concerned that it is Israeli.

I wonder if Deepcutnews would have similarly highlighted the company's origins if it was from the US.

RanTLaw @rantlaw.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

This piece would have read as just as concerning if it did not contain the constant reminders of where the company is based. They could have easily been cut to just one and it didn't need to be in the title.

This is how you get shit like Hanson promising to put Andrews and Allan in prison by the end of the year. That kind of thing grew out of the cookers shouting continually in response to covid. It gained a life of its own through a concerted effort and a lazy media,

Much of what we see as the rightward drift of politics is loudmouth chuds shouting long enough and loud enough on the right platforms for it to become the accepted norm.

This is what happens downstream of 'x says y' reporting: an analysis piece that takes the reported statement as received truth. In this case, it's the Coxon LessWrong bullshit.

This is up there with the items informing us all that some guys in the Nazi bar say they don't like a thing they haven't and won't see/read/listen to/play. It contributes nothing.
