Sad news about Jeffrey Archer. Put out your brown envelopes.

I was once at a conference where some American union delegates were talking about increasing membership and someone in the audience caused a kerfuffle by asking "but what about the jews?" He meant the dues. Union dues. THE DOOS!

Could you imagine being the President of Queensland's Police "Union", who when being asked about being denied a watering-down of domestic violence definitions say the actual words "I certainly don’t stop when I’m told no the first time. No means not right now."? Fuck me.

Dear Tanya: Have you considered trying something that works?

We got our under-16 social media delay. We got age verification for online pornography, we have banned deepfake nudes, we have banned nudify apps, there’s a whole range of areas where we are acting. The question now is what more should we do? What comes next?

if I was a young person being told that the best our economic system can ever offer me is working longer and longer hours to live with more and more roommates and eat worse and worse food, I might start getting this crazy idea that we need a new economic system

It takes years of studies and community debate to approve a single bike lane, but data centers are going in left and right with the footprint of a small natural disaster and almost no bureaucracy gets in the way.

Seeing the news of Mladic popping his clogs reminded me that there was a time, years ago, when the Leaders of the Free World thought genocide was bad and they did something about it. What a time.

I hear that what with the UCI having all sorts of cheating issues, Seb Coe has offered to step in to check that all riders' bras are appropriately filled.

A photo of Seb Coe making a hand gesture that looks like he's grabbing a boob. It's a bit of a stretch to be honest.

I love the shameless projection by politicians at international far right conferences, organised and funded by transnational billionaire networks like Atlas, accusing left-wing resistance of being nefarious "globalists". Sorry, Bridget and Pauline, which country are you saying this in exactly?

Good pedestrian and cycling infrastructure should mean nobody has to play frogger. If there isn't enough space to do that and also have cars on the roads, then the cars need to go.

What's the difference between FIFA and the UCI? One of them is craven, corrupt, and morally bankrupt. The other is also all of those things but also comically incompetent.

The AI rollout is an incredible test case for the power of capital to overrule everything in its way. An overwhelmingly stupid, obscenely polluting, and wildly dangerous set of technologies are being brute-forced into every part of our lives because money says so.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

If your release packaging is susceptible to human error, your release packaging process is fragile and the organisation is to blame. Ask me how I, an erstwhile release engineer, know this.

I can't think of anything _more_ Australian than people panic-buying petrol because they've moved to a dormitory exurb and are completely dependant on their enormous tax-deductable twin-cab ute.

A newspaper headline: "News live: Chris Bowen says people buying up Bunnings' jerry cans amid fuel crisis 'unhelpful and unAustralian'"

I really do feel for Iranians, coming from a region that is harmed by both the "anti imperialist left" and the right. The former teams up with our genocidal governments as long as they say they're against the US, the latter wants us bombed into oblivion and prevented from immigrating.
