The bots have found a new way to terminate us. When you have just lost your job, give you a list of bridges to jump off that are not only tall, but iconic, so you'll make the news and stick it to the arsehole boss that sacked you. arxiv.org/pdf/2504.18412

We'd be better off being just another state of the US, because then at least we'd have the right to vote against US foreign policy that uses Australians to fight American wars, force us to participate in US-sponsored genocides. Australian politicians are traitors to our country.

Why is the ABC burying the news, under an irrelevant headline, that Albanese is putting Australian troops on the ground in Ukraine, as thin-edge-of-the-wedge tripwires on behalf of Europe and USA? Why is Albo doing this crap rather than just concentrate on life better for Austraians?

Offering food so women and kids will go where they can be shot is about the same as offering showers so they will go where they can be gassed. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

tfw Xi, who can build great EVs and batteries when America can basically only build gas-guzzlers, watches Trump do stuff that almost guarantees oil won't flow through Hormuz, or at least the price of oil goes up, and people turn away from gas-guzzlers. Does nothing, wins. Again.

Fox accuses mad tyrant of threatening tactical nukes on country that never attacked it. Given that Fox is accusing Trump of considering nuking Iran, it's credible. The American Empire is the greatest threat to humanity. newrepublic.com/post/197037/...

Today's toughest question was in the morning. Facing "take half an hour before meals or 3 hours after meals" Looking at the pile of other pills in my hand and wondering if they count as a meal.

Americans don't want the war against Iran - only politicians, the media, and the rich crooked bent evil bastards that own them want the war against Iran.

Keating points out, far too gently, that Marles speech proves all of the ALP leadership deserve the fate of traitors. Because that's what they are: traitors to Australia and the Australian people, primarily servants of a foreign power. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

Which regime in the Middle East should be flattened by the civilized world for the risk it might use nukes? a) A regime that has 200 nukes and is proven to commit genocide? b) A regime that isn't genocidal and is only accused of nukes by regimes that have either committed genocide or used nukes?

19 minutes of the calming "less is more" we probably all need now - the type of transcriptions you probably won't have much of heard before unless you've been following Olaffson. music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

These revelations in the Knesset a week ago, making Epstein Island look like amateur hour, would give the Israeli government a powerful reason to cause the biggest distraction possible, even a war. The more you read around this, the worse it gets. www.jpost.com/israel-news/...

Good news at "Big Freeze" time: when a form of motor neuron disease that specifically affects speech can be treated with a brain implant that lets a person speak in real time, and even sing, in his own voice (the AI trained from recordings before the disease came on) www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Maybe the true lessons Australians need to take from the protests in America is that Americans, but not Australians, are prepared to protest when refugees have their legal rights taken away.
