yeesh i checked and yes, nova peris OAM -- one of the faces of the newly-hatched PR campaign by AUS media corporations called #standuptohate -- really did RT this post ... which makes sense if you read the rest of her timeline. 🫣 h/t : @altmediawatch.bsky.social

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

Look, I'm so happy that Dutton is gone and it's a Labor win rather than the LNP. But, to see Labor win such a majority and people turn their backs on the Greens and others pushing for *genuine* progress for social and environmental justice makes me very sad. Labor are neoliberal light. #AusVotes25

Labor have committed $1B to widening the Western Hwy. Meanwhile, the suburban railway next to it is stuck with overcrowded regional trains, with only vague hints that it might be electrified soon-ish. "One more lane, bro" never works, only viable alternatives to driving. abc.net.au/news/2025-03…

Threats, lies and a clusterfuck. One of the more batshit stories I've done. Plot to take over Meals on Wheels, private firm that was paid millions to do it while trading insolvent and a senior public servant sorry for his behaviour. Everything laid bare. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2025/02...

I'm currently watching openings in #LatouffvABC & I'm deeply bewildered by the ABC continuing down this dark path The amount of dirty laundry that's about to be aired, and broadcast across all of Australia's eagerly awaiting rw media, would seem to be something any organisation would want to avoid

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks. www.ft.com/content/a0df...
