In our actual cyberpunk dystopia, there will remain in the dark nooks and crannies of the world machines which are cognitohazards people must avoid.
Young people told "if you see one, don't fucking talk to it. Don't ask it any questions. It will drive you mad and get you to kill yourself."

Ignore dopey spin like this.
Spending is not historically high once you take into account the NDIS, and we are an extremely low-taxing nation, so suggesting that "only higher taxes are keeping the deficit to merely bad" is quite silly

Ignore Labor’s spin — our fiscal situation is bad, and driven by a government that can’t stop increasing spending, writes Bernard Keane.

As I understand today's discussion, we can stop an ISIS cell by policing the speaker list at writer's festivals and the BA syllabus at Unis. And by "stopping demonstrations." This is madness.

John Howard made Australia a target for terrorism by illegally invading Iraq & contributing to the rise of ISIS who went on to radicalise the Bondi attackers. He should apologise to Jewish Australians, and all Australians. #auspol

The idea that changing a definition to include criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic and cracking down even further on anti-genocide protests would have in any way made anyone safer is madness. That the Coalition have so comprehensively jumped to blame here is insanity. Who is this speaking to?

Who the fuck would listen to Howard push back against gun reform in the wake of the biggest tragedy in decades (and no one is saying it’s just gun reform which is needed, ofc hate in all forms, including anti-Semitism is horrendous) and come to the conclusion that THIS is the take?!

Incredible the entire press gallery is actually buying the line (promulgated by Netanyahu!) that Albanese is personally to blame for the Bondi attack.
No one is actually explaining how firing academics for opposing Israel’s genocide would stop two people who never went to uni from this shooting.

I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

Besides the fact that wealth, opportunity, safety, rights and justice are so unequally distributed, it is utterly bizarre to criticise people for working for a better world.
I find it fascinating watching Aussies sitting in a prosperous, functional, well-governed country with an unglamorous but adequate government, and somehow managing to direct their hatred against these things, rather than focusing on shitheads like Dutton/Joyce/Hanson who are trying to destroy it
