BREAKING: The NACC Inspector has launched a formal investigation into Commissioner Brereton's conduct.
This is the SECOND time his behaviour has triggered an Inspector investigation. The first was over the Robodebt scandal.

Awful news. Jon is one of Australia's great cartoonists and much more again in Tasmania - a cultural institution. Sharp, funny, insightful, principled, often searing but often joyful, uniquely Tasmanian. His art and work will last.
Much love to his family and many friends.

There are so many AI features that are just 100% no-one-asked-for-this. This is meant to be economy-altering nearly-conscious human intelligence level stuff and it's just so comically mundane

This is really the critical point: Firefox is packing its browser with AI slop functions by default; relying on a user actively choosing to turn it off.

Yuuuup. Our use of the internet simply does not scale in proportion to the proliferation of hyperscale data centers. Netflix doesn’t have a billion new movies. We’re not uploading 1000x as many cat videos.
People are now trying to defend their AI generated slop images by saying things like "well, using Netflix and social media use just as much energy and are also bad for the environment" and I just really hate how people have no critical thinking and comprehension skills anymore

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
