Any Melbourne chums - go and have a look at Ben's exhibition. He's an all round good egg, and an amazing artist: www.at14.com.au/exhibitions#... 14 Gallery, Langridge St, Collingwood

Another day, more enshittification. Microsoft Outlook has got rid of the "not junk" option for emails. Trudged to the MS website to see the usual solution: 1) Edit the registry 2) Rebuild the PC using chopsticks. 3) Light candles rendered from human fat on the 5 imperial vertices and invoke evil.

Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇 90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free. To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax. Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol

Friendly reminder to Australian book lovers of a brilliant way to buy online from indie booksellers - yourbookstore.io . You can see which stores near you have the book you want in stock, and they’ll post it or you can collect.

The company, their riders, the venture capital vultures behind them, and the half witted #brisbane city council that facilitate them - these are just litter now

Just starting to read the final novel by CJ Sansom. He is such a sad loss to us. Going to relish every page of Tombland. #booksky

Just sent a message to Anthony Albanese to ask whether he thinks it is responsible for an Australian government to continue to trust the USA as a reliable ally. The overnight destruction of USAID must be a sign (if we needed one at all), that the USA is headed for chaos at best, fascism at worst.

This place still feels a bit small, not football focused, but maybe we could try and connect Arsenal fans at least. If you are an Arsenal fan, leave a reply, people can follow, also please repost or whatever it's called her and hopefully it can spread. #arsenal

How many layers of paint on the boundary street / Dornoch terrace viaduct? There must be a whole political graffiti history under there #brisbane

Australian uni Vice-Chancellors are among the highest paid in the world. You'll be shocked (shocked!!!) to discover that higher pay does not lead to a better student experience. @jack-thrower.bsky.social writes #OffTheCharts australiainstitute.org.au/post/the-hig...

Why do people who seem otherwise intelligent and competent keep suggesting GenerativeAI as a solution to problems that require accurate information when the one thing it can’t deliver is…accurate information?

I may have groped my way to an insight on #AI in my work. Those that value creating quantity and "content" quickly love it. We that prefer quality hate it. I think we are going to be overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of grey goo produced by the former, before it's seen that the goo is useless.

Road resurfacing works on Melbourne St in South Brisbane have revealed the old tram tracks. The tram network was shut down back in 1969. I wish they'd bring it back instead of implementing this silly Brisbane Metro project which is just electric buses that look like trams.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike
