An almost daily pick-me-up I do is visit the Angler Alliance webcam page. Shows many Tasmanian lakes and is by far the best webcam implementation I have ever seen.

To disappear somebody’s children - is there a worse death to inflict upon a family?
To repeat the darkest parts of our history again and again and again, it’s unbearable.

I don’t keep up with explosive technology, so learning about these new bombs is giving me the same feeling as learning about Hiroshima as a child. Deep, deep sadness that we are capable of such things. Both kinds of weapons killing so utterly that there’s nothing left to grieve.

Wednesday's cartoon in The Mercury Newspaper: Jon Kudelka helped me get my first cartooning job at The Mercury. He also showed me how to be quick-witted and fearless. I was in a constant state of joke-envy over his cartoons. I'm gonna miss that feeling, but more than that, I'm gonna miss my friend.

This is exactly what I was concerned about! That it would mark Jewish AUSTRALIANS as being ‘not really Australian’. Wow social cohesion!

Sorry to be Radical Left but I don't think we should put people who haven't committed a crime, and aren't even accused of committing a crime, into any sort of "Detention"

Reading the comments from my fellow Australians who love the taste of boot more than anything else, are actively rejoicing, & knowing they’re my generation: Dystopiest

Labour parties around Australia were formed because colonial governments kept shooting striking workers who were protesting. Chris Minns and his draconian anti-protest laws are a disgrace to the history of his own party. #auspol

Underground railway? Handmaid’s Tale resistance? Escape from concentration camps? Not so long as Ring Doorbell Cameras exist! (Some of us have been concerned about this for years, and now here it is. The dystopian name is just the cherry on top.)

one of the few outlets to publish an accurate account of NSW police brutality. Most media seem very confused by the fact that police blocked the exits and then police attacked people with pepper spray, fists, and steel cap boots.

This was planned. And Chris Minns owns it. - Michael West
NSW Police have assaulted dozens of peace protestors who gathered to protest the visit by Israeli president Isaac Herzog to Australia.

(That’s Jeremy’s thumb btw lol) He was astonished & remembered he’d seen similar complaints on Woolworths & Coles subreddits recently, so this is not limited to our experience! The staff were very helpful & instantly refunded it without question, adding to the ‘Hmm’ of it all. Watch your receipts!

🚨 Attn Australians!!! 🇦🇺 🚨
Look out next time you’re in Coles/Woolworths:
Jeremy purchased 3 items today, 1 was incorrect so we went to exchange, in service queue we noticed A 4th ITEM he hadn’t purchased at all was on the receipt. We had to google it - a water pistol! Is the AI hallucinating?
