This is probably one of the most pretentious things I will ever say about music but I think albums made with streaming in mind are inferior to albums made to listen to end to end.

The sound and feeling they give is completely different and you can tell.

There I said it. I won’t take it back.

Oil painting is such an underrated hobby because what do you mean for three hours my main task can just be “don’t eat the paint”?!

Hiya, one of the local disableds here.

While you're celebrating #Menulog closing down, remember: Woolies and Coles delivery is getting less reliable (at least where I am) and platforms like Doordash give me access to Aldi as well as ways to fix my weekly groceries when the orders are (very) wrong.

These reforms violate human rights obligations, contradict the evidence and will be devastating for children and young people in conflict with the law.

In an Australia first, I used FOI to get the AI chat logs of Australia's top national security bureaucrat.

They show how he used Microsoft Copilot to ghostwrite speeches and messages to colleagues.

This comes as the government looks to push AI use in the public service.

For the first four months of its existence ASIO was named Australia's Security Service. It was quickly changed and we were robbed of a great acronym.

Hey #kawaiicon one more thing as we head back to work: if you're going to try taking your full lunch break or finishing on time and feel like you're already "failing" that’s okay.

Consistency isn’t about being perfect; just show up and try your best each day.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.
