Very key point made here. Any "shortage" is due solely to exports. We don't need more gas, we need to send less to Japan which has so much it exports our gas to other countries! (also worth charging the companies to mine our gas and also to tax them properly) www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

A brilliant must-read by Stephen Long about his Dad’s war time service fighting fascism and the fascist threat now rearing its ugly head. At last a journalist has had the courage to use the ‘f’ word.

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

Have been thinking a bit about how legacy media and journalism are entirely incapable of even beginning to grapple with a situation about which they can never plainly state the simple reality, which is pretty much

Not just that. 1. The more disasters in Oz, the more expensive insurance will be 2. The more disasters globally, the more expensive insurance will additionally be (global firms + reinsurance) 3. The smaller the capital pool of Oz insurance firms, the more expensive it will ALSO additionally be.

A regular reminder: the reason energy bills are high and rising is mainly because we’re so reliant on gas, and gas is a lot more expensive now

Well what do you know, turns out there is a corruption issue in the Robodebt referrals worth investigating. NACC independent reviewer says all six people referred should be investigated for possible corrupt conduct. The NACC gets to do the investigation, of course. www.nacc.gov.au/news-and-med...

When people like Dutton talk about “cultural diversity” or DEI jobs they’re essentially just denigrating non-white people. It’s straight racism and journalists need to call it out. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

💯 We also need to normalise asking people what they mean when they say they want to cut ✂️ "red tape". What regulations exactly? Do they mean the regulations that: - support aviation safety - underpin worker safety & pay - promote protection of our personal information - enforce food safety

I just think it’s very funny that videogames act like it’s a normal thing to go up to a bartender or a shopkeeper and ask if they’ve heard any rumours.

It's hard to express how much is going on here and what a big deal it is. We've been building toward this for over 8 years now, and we genuinely built a video game history research tool that is usable by anyone. We're democratizing game research through a free, no-bullshit, human-curated resource.

EA and BioWare execs forced these dragon age devs through the Veilguard release cycle, didn’t support them whatsoever when they were being threatened and harassed online, and then fired them all without even the decency of calling it what it is. That’s some shit behavior.

If an executive sets sales “expectations” and the game didn’t sell at those expectations then the executive who got it wrong should have their head on the chopping block before the creative team. You’re the one that beefed the numbers, man. I dunno what to tell ya!

A reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found - the killings were unjustified - none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns - no warnings were given - no soldiers were under threat - the troops were the first to open fire 43 years on, we await the first prosecution.

I've spent 30 years doing politics on the left. The only commonality over that time was that most of the media is always against you. That is simply the furniture in the room. If you're blaming the media for your predicament, your incompetence managing the actual world is the real problem.

Almost every buddy rom-com with a male lead (think Swingers or 40-yr old virgin) involves the male lead being told by other men what 'the rules' of dating are, and he doesn't find true love until he ignores those rules

American company copying and plagiarising: move fast and break things, ie good. Chinese company copying and plagiarising: a threat to all that is good, pure and decent, must be stopped (preferably with lasers) Rinse and repeat for pretty much everything.
