Also, happy 2026. Let's hope it results in some good outcomes for struggling and subjugated humans and other animals. Actually, let's not hope; let's make it happen.

You know, all this "no social media accounts for under 18s" thing is accomplishing is making adults submit personal information to a bunch of overseas services not subject to (weak) Australian privacy protections.

Well done, pollies. Yet again you managed to not achieve anything useful. #auspol

Israel should be banned from every international forum.

That Israeli President Isaac Herzog is coming to Australia is a disgrace.

News out today shows big utes designed to cary cargo are better at killing pedestrians than smaller vehicles designed to cary people

did you know the popularity of these behemoths is based on a range of subsidies?

But the govt is inquiring into subsidies for EVs…

Sometimes I wish Americans would just shut up and sit down. The loud ones preaching their opinions across the world really give the rest of them a bad rep.

"Oh look at me and my opinion on... " meanwhile their country is on fire and their citizens in jail, dead, or dying. Stfu.

Esp. about guns.

On a more technological note, I think something is missing from the discussion around genAI in video games: the environmental and moral costs.

Environmental is easy to grasp. But unless you *know* the model is ethically trained, you're using stolen work, even if only for a paceholder or idea.

In Andrew Bolt's infamous 2018 "tidal wave of immigrants column", he specifically singled out Jewish communities as 'part of the problem'

The idea that the far-right, anti-immigration parties and xenophobe media are going to protect the Aus Jewish community is absurd

In Melbourne’s Springvale, one in four residents speaks Vietnamese at home. Another 10 per cent come from China or Cambodia. In Sydney’s Fairfield, one in four residents were born in Vietnam, Cambodia or China. In Sydney’s Five Dock, long after the heyday of immigration from Europe, one in seven residents still speaks Italian at home. In Melbourne’s North Caulfield, 41 per cent of residents are Jews, including hundreds who have lately fled South Africa. Dandenong now has an official Little Indian Cultural Precinct, with 33 Indian businesses. Such colonising will increasingly be our future as we gain a critical mass of born-overseas migrants. Like tends to attract like and these new colonies can then more easily keep their cultures thanks to satellite TV, the internet, and cheap travel.

The fuck wits calling for reduced immigration as a result of Bondi know it was an immigrant who tried to stop the shooters, right?

And a majority of the doctors and nurses treating the survivors are immigrants?

Oh, they don't care about facts?

‘I fear for the future generations’: Pauline Hanson scolds ‘weak’ PM and Labor govt for blaming Bondi massacre on gun laws One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has recounted the “hatred” she encountered at the Bondi memorial for the “weak” Prime Minister who has blamed gun laws for the Bondi massacre. Australian senator suggests worst gun massacre was a conspiracy Pauline Hanson floats the idea the 1996 Port Arthur shooting, which left 35 people dead, was a false flag operation.

Ley is failing the Jewish community. She is choosing to politicize rather than unite Australia on this national tragedy. If she succeeds I fear it will become a political football robbing them of real effort to ensure this never happens again. After Port Arthur we came together. We need that again.
