i keep getting ads to upgrade my phone and they think putting all this ai crap in the ads will make me think I need to upgrade, it makes me want to stay with the current one tbh

I think its at the point where I see almost as many e-bikes as normal bikes on the trail i ride regularly on.

"I want every Australian to know they only need their Medicare card, not their credit card, to receive the healthcare they need," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said. TIL that my teeth are apparently not part of my healthcare.

This is good but it feels cynical to hold onto this policy until now so you can campaign on it

Watching 24 and President Palmer is worried about going to jail.

This all looks like good stuff but we need to invest exponentially more in active transport in this state then we are. minister.infrastructure.gov.au/c-king/media...

People tho think that recently naturalised immigrants are all die hard labor voting lefties have probably never spoken to an immigrant. It figures that would be part of Duttons lies though.

I have been re watching "24" for some reason and its quite good for something to just have on playing in the background where if you miss something it doesn't really matter.

If there is one thing that has changed about US politics in the last few weeks its that the "both parties are the same" argument looks even dumber then it did previously.

Does anyone else just fast forward those vids to the end that have guys digging stuff out of the sand at the beach instead of just skipping them?

I was honked by an impatient Tesla driver yesterday while waiting for a safe break in traffic to turn right onto a busy road and I don't think I've been closer to real road rage they got a turnaround and dirty look. They couldn't even see the oncoming traffic I was waiting for!

Alot of this stuff makes a hell of a lot of sense, wonder if much of it happens in NSQ.

So ublock origin stops the embedded ads in primevideo? Why exactly have i been using the app on my pc instead of the website version?

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...

Rest in Piss

I am quite bad at trouble shooting weird sounds on my bike, there was this weird squeak and it took me ages to figure out that it was some shorts that I haven't worn in a long time rubbing up against my seat. Probably better then the time I troubleshot my shoelace hitting the bike frame sound though

*opens youtube* Zack. D. Films: "When you fall into a pit of lava you should do this!"

Snow in summer, very normal weather.

I don't get the conservative Catholics who hate the current pope and his "progressive" stances on some issues and will hate the next one that is elected by all the cardinals he has appointed, especially late converts. There are lots of other christian groups that agree with you go join one of those?

Well this one aged poorly.

First puffer jacket of the year spotted in Melbourne

Hmm maybe I need to find my beanie for tomorrow that looks a bit cold in Melbourne.

Scoop: The databases powering DOGE.gov are insecure, and people outside the government have already pushed their own updates to the site to prove it: www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

Fuck all of this, they should really get sued.

My grandpa came to Australia at the age of 13 from a tiny volcano island because he had a relative (who he didn't get along with at all once arriving) vouch for him to come here. I'm sure there are many family histories like that here yet the sentiment to immigrants is always "fuck off we're full"

Some people are really obsessed about what a little kid said in the oval office. It's all really weird, maybe don't obsess about it, there are lots of ways to criticize the fascists dismantling govt in the US without doing that.

If the twitter guy manages to sabotage and get rid of AUKUS that is one thing I can actually get behind although maybe he should have done it before we paid em almost a billion bucks this week.

You really don't have to do this channel 7

We need more of Labor to talk about the trans hate and call it out clearly, its a pity that Graham is leaving parliament.

Maybe its not a good to have the country with the most powerful military and economy in the world dominated by a bunch of crazy people who legitimately believe we are in the end times.

Someone should ask the LNP what they think of the Trump 25% aluminium tariffs that were just announced. I'm sure Albo will be meek as fuck.

Had a little bit of caffeine for the first time in like 6 months today and am conflicted as to whether it was a good idea or not.

I am watching the Super Bowl for some reason, I have no idea about the game or rules or anything but the half time show seemed pretty damn good.

Front page of the Herald Sun (I thought they’d be crowing about the greens losing the Prahran by-election)

As the expected Christian Nationalism EO came in, I’m seeing a bunch of “this isn’t real Christianity” noise in my mentions. Nope. Christian friends. 1/x 🧵 This is 💯 part of the history of Christianity, dating to Constantine, to the Holy Roman Empire, forced conversions, Inquisitions, +

Went to see some fireworks this evening.
