Gang - You may hear more about the ‘grandparents’ rights movement. It might sound reasonable at first. Be assured: everyone in this movement (and it is a movement) is a perpetrator of child abuse. There are no exceptions: grandparents with legitimate problems who really care leave immediately.

[Mum has just told me about one neighbour I know who died, and one I didn't who was murdered] Mum: 'Oh and there's another piece of news-' Me: 'Don't tell me - another person died!' That was in fact the news. Another person I knew had also died. Life update, never making a dark little joke again

Well I for one have had my trust in the NACC fully restored. No questions left for me, not a one. Seriously though - for real - do the folk at the NACC not understand how public trust works? It's not an unknown area, we have a pretty solid idea of how building trust is done and this isn't it

Agree. I was lucky enough to see Kilgour's talk, and I found her explanation - and her analysis of Robodebt - compelling. I understand the NACC's restrictions much better now: they can't 'get' people for professional or ethical failure, only corruption. Frustrating. But comprehensible.

The cognitive dissonance between watching a man with late stage dementia be talked about by journalists as if he is making strategic decisions can only be addressed by looking back to history. This has happened before, it will happen again, journalism has never developed a coping mechanism.

Wrote an article recently about how Australia stupid definitely build tonnes of data centres *if* we regulate them. Like, a lot. Well I was absolutely right but looks like we are not actually going to regulate them in any meaningful way. Which I kind of guessed (which is why I advocated for it). 🙃

Real talk, yesterday I saw a woman on LinkedIn complain about getting gendered responses to the completely new word she’d invented: ‘Artificing’. Yes like the dnd class. And also just the… word. Which is hundreds of years old (TIL). Yes, she 100% went for tone policing when I pointed this out.

They’re not wearing uniforms. There’s something weird happening here. The ICE agents (are they?) aren’t wearing standard/matching police vests or basic PPE. Note the tshirts, sneakers. Vigilantes? State approved volunteer vigilantes? That’s a big step, a downwards step.

This is a great explainer, and if you have a professional job in Australia, it's something you need some awareness of. Learn the structure: Brahmin - priests Kshatriyas - warriors Vaisyas - merchants, skilled workers Sudra - Farm workers, servants Dalit (formerly 'untouchables') - beneath caste

NICHE JOKE INCOMING the Allahakbarries walked so the Rock Bottom Remainders could run

screencap of a tumblr post:

glowcloudatlas-deactivated20170
Literally one of my favourite facts ever is that J.M. Barrie, Rudyard Kipling, H. G.
Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, P. G.
Wodehouse, A. A. Milne, as well as the son of Alfred Tennyson and many others played on the same amateur cricket team AND THEY WERE TERRIBLE how great is that

and then below is another post with a Wikipedia screencap -

Allahakbarries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Allahakbarries was an amateur cricket team founded by author J. M. Barrie, and was active from 1890 to 1913. The team was named in the mistaken belief that Allah akbar meant ‘Heaven help us’ in Arabic (rather than ‘God is great’). Notable figures to have featured for the side included Rudyard Kipling, H. G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, P. G. Wodehouse, G. K. Chesterton, Jerome K. Jerome, A.
A. Milne, E. W. Hornung, Henry Justice Ford, A. E. W. Mason, Walter Raleigh, E. V. Lucas, Maurice Hewlett, Owen Seaman, Bernard Partridge, Augustine Birrell, Paul Du Chaillu, Henry Herbert La Thangue, George Cecil Ives, and George Llewelyn Davies, as well as the son of Alfred Tennyson.
