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

OpenAI hacks the Australian Government this time. I don’t quite understand why these hacks don’t result in criminal charges every time. Hacking is illegal, and these systems are owned and run by companies with responsibility for their tools. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Some more equal. My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Title “All animals are equal…” barnyard where Chris Minns stands in from to stables with a cow at one end, a horse the other. In the yard, six assorted cats in front of Minns who holds “HATE SPEECH LAWS”. A bin behind him with “SACKAR REPORT”  Also in yard, collie dog, sheep, pig, chicken, duck, rat and mice, two chicks. A crow. Minns says, “I’m afraid from now on, hate speech against cats is of a higher priority than hate speech against the rest of you.”

In the room. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Room with male psychologist in chair with notepad; on couch is Anthony Albanese looking anxious, shoes on floor beside him. Behind the scene is a line of people including: a blond woman in a suit with a folder; a pinstripe-suited businessman with cigar; a man in suit with hi-vis vest and hard hat; a croupier in waistcoat flipping a coin; a man in military garb with US flag on chest pocket; a tech bro with phone in jeans, t-shirt and jacket and peaked cap. Psychologist says “So tell me - are those lobbyists in the room with us now?”

The old BoM ENSO warning system criteria for El Nino have been met. Historically it would now be up to the BoM climatologists to agree they are comfortable with an El Nino Declaration (ie criteria wont bounce below thresholds suddenly, and system fully coupled). docs.google.com/document/d/1...

In Belgium, employees receive compensation for every kilometre they ride, with some cyclists earning up to €810 per year. And why not? Biking saves public money for everyone. “All employees in Belgium who cycle to work are entitled to a bicycle allowance of €0.28 per kilometre of their commute.”

Belgian commutes pay off: Employees earn up to €810 for cycling to work
One in five people in Flanders commuted by bike and received compensation last year, but this figure is significantly lower in Brussels and Wallonia.

Having demonstrated to all their neighbours that host US bases that they can strike their homelands if they allow the US to launch attacks on Iran. It's now up to these countries to decide if they will side with the US, and suffer the consequences or stand up for themselves and expel the "occupiers"

An example of the subtle use of language to #FrameTheBlame, this headline could have been written differently, but the way they have done it implies the virus is "India's" fault. Could have been "What you need to know about the Nipah virus outbreak in India". Done deliberately.
ABC News social media post, shows two medical people in full hazmat outfits with the head line "What you need to know about India's Nipah virus outbreak".

From the other, most hated site, this tweet is very good though.
This post copies a Twitter post. The original X post says, "Hamas commander previously declared dead by Israel reemerges in Gaza". which is reposted with the comment, "bad new for Israel, the last time a Palestinian came back from the dead they made a whole ass religion out of it"

Single panel editorial cartoon titled What People Are Not Talking About. A couple sitting having coffee reading the papers, the Lib Nat split all over them. One says, “So, they get around 28% of the seats in the house”, the other says, “Yep . . . but still around 90% of the news cycle”, the dog lying at their feet think, “And the cartoons   dammit”.

Cartoon- scene in Gaza. A mother holds onto her two children as they huddle under a bit of broken building. 
Mother: Let's just close our eyes and pretend this isn't happening.
Daughter: Do you think it'll help?

One of the hosts of @radiowarnerd.bsky.social said just the other day that they expected to see democrats doing a “stabbed in the back” narrative about Ukraine’s chances in the war and there we go the political cartoonists are already at it.
A political cartoon where Trump stabs Zelenskyy in the back while he boxes with Putin.

Political cartoon. 

Trump and Zelenskyy are on a stage each behind a podium. Trump stands in front of red "T" banners and is wearing a military uniform with gold epaulets and 15 large medals. The medals have slogan buttons instead of coins that say things like Russian Asset, Worships Putin, Admires Xi, no rights, no education, White Nationalism, Project 2025. Trump's pointing accusingly at Zelenskyy, shouting, "He's a Dictator!" Zelenskyy, in olive drab T-shirt, just sighs and looks sad and tired of this.

The response #USPolitics #Trump #Ukraine #auspol
Single panel editorial cartoon titled The Response. At the top of the page text - ‘INVASION. CARNAGE. PLEAS. RESPONSE.’  Ukraine President Zelenskyy looks out at us wearily, a baby’s rattle has been thrown from the right and bounced off his head, he has not reacted. The rattle is in the colours of the US flag.

The root of the problem, education. And it's why the right wing side of politics want to cut back on public education, it's a deliberate strategy. They only want you to be able to shout "come on Brenda". www.instagram.com/reel/DFe4gqv...

Gov. Pritzker just put out a very long statement about the plane crash in which he calls Trump "unfit to lead during moments of crisis," and says the Trump admin must be asked: "Did Elon Musk play a role in the removal the former FAA director who had bipartisan support?"
