I can understand the idea of blocking people on sight: it starves these attention seekers of the thing they want. But on the other hand, if I never see what horrible things they are saying, how can I comment on it or better still mock them? Do people perceive the lack of opposition as strength?

I had him auto-blocked by a "troll" list, and when I turned that list off, he was blocked by a "maga" list. And when I turned that one off he was blocked by a different "Maga" list and when I turned that off he was blocked by a "couch fucker" list and then when I ...

Rhyming "lost" with "host" is giving me the conniptions.

One of the volunteer "guards" that 50501 had at the event. So their original letter about how "someone was shot and someone arrested for having a gun" never mentioned in any way that the person who shot (and killed) someone had been one of their volunteers.

There was a lot of commentary on 50501's post on bluesky where many people were saying that a) the person grabbed for having a gun (the one in the video I'm guessing) was NOT the shooter, but someone who had a gun they were allegedly legally carrying. And B) the person who was killed was killed by

But I did have a boss who thought he was amazing and something to emulate. Said boss was a nightmare to work for, and in the end the company went bust without paying into my superannuation fund (legally obliged to in Australia) which goes to show the kinds of followers he has.

Years ago I remember reading a website that was dedicated to pointing out scam artists in the Real Estate field. It critiqued the first book and pointed out the misrepresentations and lies that were in it. Took a while but I found the link: johntreed.com/blogs/john-t...

Since the Monarch's birthday and New Years Day are both Honours days where people are given honours, knighted etc, by having the "official" birthday in June it splits up when honours are granted.

Don't give them ideas! Or maybe do, because watching people take out a fleet of Cybertrucks with water balloons would be hilarious.

He is literally saying there is violence when there isn't any. The media is complicit, they are acting like downtown LA is in flames. They are playing chicken with the Insurrection Act and getting closer and closer to the line.

I read this straight after seeing this: bsky.app/profile/mtam... from Kobo about how they want to use AI. As in, not training it.
comment in response to

Back in 2008 Neal Stephenson predicted that AI would exist to create crap on the Internet on behalf of shady businesses who would be enriched by filtering out all the crap. Artificial Inanity.
Deliberately "planting misinformation in the enemy's reticules" is the point.

Ah, found another comment elsewhere that the QLD LNP is actually a division of the Liberal Party of Australia, as per it's own constitution. I'm going to guess it will be divisible into it's parts because it was held together by the coalition existing.

According to the AEC results, the LNP have 16 seats and the Liberals have 18. The Nationals have 9. But the LNP members can choose which party they sit with (Littlegood is actually an LNP member but he's the leader of the Nationals, for example).

Complete lack of a functional opposition party will mean the ALP will sit on their hands for the near future and squander any "mandate" implied by their landslide victory.
Yeah, or Utopia. One of those.

@acollierastro.bsky.social has a few youtube videos on the subject of AI, including www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUrO... and it's great. AI does not exist but it will ruin everything anyway.

I do like the way you can click the plus sign and add an extra post in reply to yourself, and thus quickly get out a bunch of words in a thread. Unlike the old place where you have to keep track of it as you go.

So even if we did manage to catch some of the "brain drain" we'd be hard put, in Australia, to fund research with them anyway.

Here in Australia I saw comments that a lot of research grants in our universities come from US funding. Those grants have been cut back or cut off, leaving research teams in the lurch: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

I watched a video about this couple in a small South Australian town that collect bread tags and melt them and pour it into molds to make bowls and plates and things and their whole town get together and find the bread tags and sort them out.
And now we use cardboard instead.

Ludicrously the Coalition have made noises about changing to a more "American" style health care policy and eliminating Medicare (Australian Medicare, which is the government funded system). And then they wonder why they don't get the votes.
