So a cut to a quarter of social and community participation payments. On one hand, this is terrible for all the participants who are going to lose support to go anywhere outside homes. It’s also terrible for workers who only do social and community participation shifts

impossible to find a frankenstein recipe online that doesn't start with a freakin novel about the guy's early life in geneva... just gimme the ingredients and method

If I think it's a genuine fuckup and a small business would benefit from knowing about it (like a quality control issue), I will send the kindest email I can without the expectation of a make-good; if it's a big corp I will start firm but polite and go scorched-earth up the chain if necessary.

But it is tho…chatting with ai should be considered like chatting with a malevolent demon that may seem like it can help you but you can never trust it and it may well drive you into madness

Alex Jones is taking it all really well 🙃

They did it. They’ve really finally recreated the experience of trying to enjoy superhero comics. This is the most expensive “[Ish #215 -Ed.]” ever brought to pass

“By stripping the right to asylum, nations are creating a growing underclass of placeless, rightless people to police in perpetuity, and an ever-greater policing apparatus with which to crack down on them—and, increasingly, everyone else.”

Legit question in the Australian today, how can Simon Benson kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into his yard within 3-5 mins while small kids play?

InfoWars Let me tell you a story. When I was a child, I suffered from night terrors. It was always the same dream: I could hear my family and neighbors wailing…

Some timeline stuff:
— We expect to get InfoWars.com after the judge clears it in a couple of weeks.
— We'll build a world of characters on the site and across social media. Tim Heidecker is in charge, and we have grand designs.
— Visit theonion.info, buy a subscription, help us dominate the world.

Update on the housing crisis on the mid-north coast - this person is charging $175 a week to pitch a tent (byo tent), with extra for access to a bathroom. Tempted to reply and ask how much to be allowed to hose oneself down in the yard. Something should probably be done about the housing crisis.

you have to shit out that turd before you can polish it

The RBA’s policy deliberately creates unemployment. So why do we treat the jobless so badly? The way we deal with rising inflation is highly problematic.
