Jacinta Price has been busy this weekend trying to scrub the evidence of her family MAGA Christmas, deleting a Christmas Day post featuring her whole family wearing MaGA hats on Christmas Day. It has now been deleted from her personal FB page. She missed this one though, wearing her cap in public.

Its only going to get worse… www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

There’s a decent chance that Asian Australian representation in #auspol will improve after the upcoming #ausvotes as parties have preselected a number of Asian Australian candidates in winnable seats www.straitstimes.com/asia/austral...

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

People are very eager to let Whitmer off the hook for getting caught in an Oval Office photo op, so let’s take a quick look at the reason she was there

Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.

Science Saru’s The Ghost in the Shell series gets a new teaser trailer

And away we go: the open constitutional crisis has officially arrived

This has to be against the Hippocratic Oath You have children who need help, you know what the best treatment recommended internationally is, they're already taking it, and you're legally required not to help them at all Really disgusting www.thepinknews.com/2025/04/11/w...

Super cool (and entirely appropriate) that Revolutions by @mikeduncan.bsky.social is part of the source material for Andor www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

There are market distortions, and then there is "the tariff policy was so chaotic that it turned used cars into an appreciating asset" www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Xi on his knees begging Trump, when the walls fell

Price doing her best to help Labor actually win a bigger majority. She is one of Labor’s best assets www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Well I mean it might alarm the Nationals if they were still an agrarian party rather than the political arm of the Minerals Council www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

At this point the political attack ads are just writing themselves. #AusPol #AusVotes www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

That thing that is named after a Trump initiative is not an ode to Trump but also planned to be structured the same as the US version? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The fact that Jacinta Price didn’t even realise she initially said it, highlights how internalised & normalised MAGA is within the Coalition www.smh.com.au/politics/fed... #auspol

“…there is now no real clarity around the plans for the public service or, significantly, how much money the proposed cuts might achieve if the government is actually going to be paying people out for voluntary redundancies.” @latingle.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04... #auspol

New on my blog: Who drives to work in Australia's CBDs chartingtransport.com/2025/04/09/w...

furious at how perfect this column is, wish I could be happy for Duncan but unfortunately I'm simply seething at how good he is

we really do

the way in which the US economic system seems to kill people who can't cope with it is a genuine public health emergency, but the rate at which it seems to kill people who are by any reasonable criterion succeeding is also a serious policy issue

uh...why was it only removed in three territories?

"BasedtradchadUS" is like tying to make a single word for "dim insufferable racist douchebag" in German

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

this may be the single most belligerent thing an EU bureaucrat said to a US president in my lifetime, maybe ever "we will allow you to make us an offer but we're gonna continue preparing to fuck you up if it isn't satisfactory"

the fucking morons with off-lead dogs at Sunny Coast beaches are a menace. Every fucking day there's an incident.

It’s fascinating to know how others see us, so urbanist Youtuber Ray Delahunty @nerd4cities.bsky.social reports from his recent visit to this corner of the world were eagerly awaited TL;DR he glows about Melbourne though myki gets a dry roast His Sydney report next apparently youtu.be/oUqavm7KhGg

Did you know that donations to private-school building funds are tax deductible? So really, we all helped build the faux baronial castle at Scots, suit of armour and all. The architects have posted a bunch of photos so you can enjoy a virtual tour. taylorau.com.au/projects/the...

Remilitarizing japan and germany defending the democratic order against an expansionist nationalist united states, all we need is competent italian mass engineering and we’re in full inversion
