I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Renaissance paintings for the modern age.

Did you know that basically every animal gets the zoomies?

it's beautiful that there exists a universal behavior, where the only way they can express the sheer happiness that comes from being gifted with 4 strong legs and allowed to walk God's green earth, is to absolutely haul ass like a maniac.

160,000 people to be kicked off NDIS as Labor overhauls eligibility Health and NDIS Minister Mark Butler unveiled a list of cost-saving measures designed to return the scheme to sustainable levels in a major speech to the National Press Club.

"...a list of cost-saving measures designed to return the scheme to sustainable levels..."

Things that are actually sustainable versus cutting supports to disabled people:
Taxing the rich
Taxing corporations properly
Having a resource tax
Having a carbon tax
Tax... it's tax all the way through

So, you've decided to write a terrible EV piece. An early column, because I'm away this Friday.

My head assploded and harsh words came out after reading the ABCs stupidest ever 730 report on EVs

This has happened to me, more times than I can count on both hands. It's one of the major reasons I stopped.

Yeah. It's a weird phrasing, honestly.

Because there are TWO different pieces of hardware in that shipment, and only one of them is the Controller 2. Neither of them is the Steam Machine 2, apparently.

Guessing a lot of outlets talking about the Steam Controller 2 didn't actually check out the manifest or know much about how Harmonized System codes are used by Customs Agents.

This is what you get for cribbing from each-other and not doing your research.

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

Oh, wait. Sorry, just getting this handed to me.... I see.... During a 'ceasefire', apparently only the USA gets to shoot at civilian ships.

I’m not well at the moment

Seeing Labor yet again ignore the most vulnerable has me in tears

Who the fuck is in your ear Labor

Why are you so fucking cruel to us?

I’m a dv survivor

You “value” us at $29k pa

Get fucked

A prime-time hit job on renewables falls apart under basic facts Spotlight's TV report on renewables and EVs collapses under basic fact-checking, highlighting how misinformation is shaping Australia’s energy debate.

A prime-time TV report on renewables and EVs fell apart at the first fact-check.
Misinformation is distorting Australia’s energy debate – and being amplified in mainstream media, Giles Parkinson writes.

In current Trump terms, "ceasefire" means that firing on civilian cargo ships doesn't count.

Australians are being played by Rinehart and Hanson, and the media is helping – Amy Remeikis Legacy media's refusal to scrutinise One Nation is going to hurt the country

It should worry you that the One Nation candidate on track to win Farrer thinks it is "above his paygrade" whether Gina Rinehart is funding the party.

When you hear it said
that the approaching
“mega El Niño”
may well be similar
to the devastating El Niño
of 1877,
you should know
that we are ready,
yes, at this point, you should know
that we are very ready,
yes, we are ready to ignore
mass death and suffering.

Greens say community has ‘no confidence’ proposed savings from NDIS will help disabled Australians Jordon Steele-John, the Greens’ spokesperson for disability inclusion, said there is “no confidence” in the community regarding proposed savings from the NDIS, set to be revealed by health minister Mark Butler today. Steele-John told RN Breakfast this morning: People cannot understand, quite rightly, in my opinion, why a government facing a budget, which is ultimately always about choices, would choose to cut their services rather than make the gas exporters pay their fair share of tax, tax Gina Rinehart or Clive Palmer a bit more, or maybe … buy one fewer submarine from Donald Trump rather than take away their ability to connect with their community or get the absolute basics they need to live. Steele-John went on to say disabeled people and their families are “sick of being used as political footballs”. We’re in a situation right now where the state government is saying we cost too much. The federal government is saying we cost too much. And in the middle are disabled people and our families who will end up receiving Less services and support. We will end up without the supports that we need to live. photo of a man in a suit with glasses talking at a mic

Congratulations on landing a new spot!

i love living in the first village of an rpg man. friendly neighbors, music is chill af, we even got that one kid we adopted into the village of whom the ancient prophecy was written about. anyway there’s a big ceremony tomorrow can't wait to still be alive after it

Not knowing what the worst people in the world were thinking every fucking day

I see that wealthy individuals and organisations are expecting that the #NDIS rejigging will continue to be extremely profitable for them. If only we could expect that it would actually help people with impairments and disabilities lead better lives. #auspol

Critics of new bill say Ohio women would be banned from sports bras, bikinis in public 'The peak of fear mongering.'

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.

HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

Granted, you don't need to use a generative AI to do that; it's possible to pull off with what I think of as "lazy news writing". Either way, that journo is not worth your time. Consider getting your news somewhere else.

Look, if you want a solid tell that a games-journalist is using AI for articles, it isn't em-dashes or the use of certain words. It's articles that recycle material from preexisting articles, without adding anything new, and often maintain conjectures long after they've stopped making any sense.

Seriously, though. It's an interesting impasse. Any conceivable deal that US negotiators could possibly successfully land will be unacceptable to Trump himself - so he'll just ignore the terms or unilaterally add terms, breaking the deal. Like last time.

There were a lot of us games journalists who never studied journalism, but we could at least do these basics. Cmon.
