www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... TL;DR: fuck yeah! It’s funny you call a determined, considered and strong leader “combative”. I think a “no bullshit” position isn’t combative. It’s highly practical and might just overtake labor who are “LNP-lite” right now & far from the centre

David Shoebridge wants the Greens to ‘seize this moment’. Is his more combative style the answer?
New leader says his party must connect with millions of disaffected voters and ‘make them believe in politics again’

I love you Carrot weather app.
A map of the Great Lakes with the name of the lake that dickhead decided to rename correctly labelled as Lake OntarioThe information panel in the carrot app when you correctly identify the location of a cryptic clue. 

Lake Ontario
Great Lakes, North America
Lake Ontario is the smallest of the Great Lakes by surface area, sitting along the border between the United States and Canada.
Fun fact: Ontario the province was named after Ontario the lake, not the other way around. So renaming the lake because it sounds too Canadian is not just stupid, it's chronologically stupid.

A Bunch of Einsteins By me and @postcardsbybecky.bsky.social Read more cartoons! —> #Policartoon Support the cartoons! —>patreon.com/barry
TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has six panels.

PANEL 1

A bearded man in a red cap is recording a video of himself.

JAKE: Why should taxpayers be on the hook for science research with no real-world value? If their research were worth anything, private industry would already fund it!

PANEL 2

Jake’s rant continues over a cross-section of the landscape, from farmland and suburbs to a city; his voice is coming from a little cabin. A fiber-optic cable runs underground all the way across the panel.

JAKE: Believe me, these researchers aren’t a bunch of Einsteins!

CAPTION: There wouldn’t be high-speed internet for this doofus’s videos without fiber optic cables!

PANEL 3

Under the ocean, a fiber-optic cable runs along the ocean floor. Word balloons coming from the fiber optic cable contain the icons of many internet-based services — Facebook, Zoom, Discord, Netflix, Minecraft, and more.

CAPTION: Without fiber optics, the internet would be far too slow for how we use it today.

PANEL 4

CAPTION: So where did fiber optics come from? Well…

CAPTION: 1966

In a laboratory break room, an excited scientist throws his arms wide while another scientist eats at a table.

SCIENTIST: Now that lasers exist, we can use ultrapure glass fibers to carry light long distances!

OTHER SCIENTIST: How does that do anything?

PANEL 5

CAPTION: 1960

A scientist proudly holds up a diagram of a newly invented device. Another scientist sits at a microscope.

SCIENTIST: I call it a “laser”! It’s based on the old theory of stimulated emission.

OTHER SCIENTIST: But Theo, what use is it?

PANEL 6

CAPTION: 1917

Outside a university, a pompous-looking man gestures indignantly as he reads a scientific paper. He's speaking to a young Albert Einstein, who rolls his eyes.

MAN: Albert, where’s the practical value in this “stimulated emission” drivel? It’s a waste of taxpayer money!

If you haven't seen Terminator Dark Fate (2019) it's actually pretty good and focuses on women (Linda Hamilton, Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes) fighting a Terminator in the form of a border patrol agent. Arnold helps out around the house. Might be a good watch this particular week.

I’m amazed how many people in the USA are so happy to willingly be lied to like this. That it’s more than 20 people and probably in the millions is phenomenal to me. No wonder Donny likes dictators. He can’t get enough dict.
Grocery prices are up, not "way down," since former President Joe Biden left office. Grocery prices have increased 3.4% on average since January 2025, the month Trump took over from Biden, through August 2026, according to seasonally adjusted figures from the federal Consumer Price Index. (Overall consumer prices are up 4.8% over the same time period.)
Far more grocery products have increased in price than have "come way down" since Biden's term ended.
While a smattering of grocery items have gotten cheaper since January 2025, the federal figures show that a much greater number of grocery items have gotten more expensive. You can check out the numbers yourself in the searchable graphic at the bottom of this section.

Progress. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Meet Bella & Boi.
A monochrome drawing of two figures (anthropomorphic animals), a deer and a fox, standing and looking at a TV and a rectangular device beneath it, like a VCR or DVD player. Above the TV hangs a star-shaped sign with the command "Buy!" On the TV screen, they see themselves in real time, standing there and watching the TV. The deer (named Boi) is wearing a neck warmer, and the fox (named Bella) is wearing a short-sleeved, fuzzy-textured top. Behind the deer, to the left, is a surveillance camera.

Boi: I’m stressed out by all this technological progress, Bella.

Bella: If technology is making you stressed, Boi, it’s not a kind technology.

Bella (cont’d): And there are less kind people behind it.

Bella (cont’d): And that’s not progress.

The idea of a "tech industry" has always relied on "computer" being a special kind of medium, akin to alchemy. And if tech demands to be king, AI hype has now elevated LLMs to a king of kings. But the solipsism has hit a dead end. The only way forward is to recognize that computers are not special.

LLMs are just normal technology. But tech is just a normal medium.
The more we focus on a particular technology, the more we lose sight of what normal people actually care about.
