I’m on the train (in Sydney) and a dude just tried to show a reel to the woman sitting next to him who had NOT gotten on at the same station. She has now moved seats.

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

My AFP neighbour told me pedophiles keep accepting the CSA material he gives them so I asked him how much CSA material he has and he says he just gets more from other pedophiles so I said it sounds like he's just enabling a massive network of pedophiles and his sergeant started crying

No way in the world this could go wrong.

A covert investigation can involve an official assuming the identity of a paedophile online, allowing them to trade in pornography to garner credibility among criminals, for the purpose of gathering evidence to arrest and prosecute real-world offenders.

What the fuck I’m just learning now that when straight couples break up they don’t always share custody of their pets??? What is this, the 1950s?

Now that the Deloitte report, about the government's unlawful administration of mutual obligations, is making international headlines, it's worth looking at what's actually in it (apart from AI slop) and WHY it was actually commissioned

This is incredible news, and shows the incredible power of collective action. The fight against the neoliberal university (my own included) goes on, but its nice to hear some good news for a change.

#Breaking | ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences will not face structural changes at this time. No renaming, merging, or disestablishment of areas. Change management appears to have been halted, even walked back completely. It’s unclear the impacts of this announcement on the school of music.

Labor to introduce ‘tell us once’ legislation to cut red tape

The finance minister, Katy Gallagher, says Labor will make it easier for Australians to engage with government services, with new legislation to create a “tell us once” approach.

Labor will introduce new legislation today called the regulatory reform omnibus bill 2025, designed to provide better regulation, cut red tape and provide more accessible government services.

The “tell us once” approach at Services Australia is designed to reduce the number of times Australians are required to provide the same information when accessing services like Medicare rebates, Centrelink, and child support.

Gallagher said the bill is an result of the government’s economic reform roundtable.

“These are commonsense reforms from the Albanese Labor government that will make a real difference in people’s lives,” she said.

“Accessing everyday services shouldn’t be difficult or burdensome, and we’re committed to streamlining services like the age pension and child support to make them simpler and easier to access.”

Due to complicated reasons regarding my last relationship it should be illegal to play Whitney Houston’s “I wanna dance with somebody” in public and I should be able to claim damages if I hear it at, say, the waiting room at the gynaecologist.
