Went to a poetry night tonight and most of the poems were about shit men assaulting women and children. So edgy. Such a nice night out. /s

Yesterday I published a piece demonstrating that "AI" as an artifact is built on fascist thinking logic. We need to push back against this further encroaching fascism into our collective consciousness.

Australia news live: Mark Butler says NDIS changes are ‘hard decisions’ but will stop scheme becoming ‘ATM for crooks’ Follow live

Why is the NDIS an 'ATM for crooks'?

Aren't paid consultancies an ATM for crooks?

Isn't giving away all our gas an ATM for crooks?

Isn't AUKUS an ATM for a crook with an orange painted face?

Crackdown on unregistered NDIS providers coming in bid to save $6b a year NDIS Minister Mark Butler will announce reforms to the disability scheme on Wednesday that will aim to save more than $6 billion a year by 2035 — and the largely unregulated market of NDIS providers i...

You refuse to tax companies that can afford it but are happy to throw vulnerable people who can't under the bus. You know people WILL die because of you maggot pieces of shit and your gutlessness. Fuck you @australianlabor.bsky.social and everything you have become. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

A graph showing increasing defence spending over the decade from 2026-27. Rising from just over $60 billion to close to $120 billion.

The NDIS is far from perfect. But there's something particularly inhuman about the Labor Party pushing through changes that will see 160,000 people kicked off disability support in the same week they proudly announced an increase in military spending of $53 billion over 10 years.

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

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

@australianlabor.bsky.social too gutless to hold providers accountable, too gutless to tax gas, just brave enough to pit the elderly against the disabled. #auspol

Australia news live: about 160,000 people to be cut from NDIS as Mark Butler says scheme ‘costs too much and growing too fast’ Follow live

I love that they say things like 'people will be moved to services outside NDIS' as though there are actually services there for those people to access.

Just catching up on NDIS and gas tax hearing news. I’m disabled but not eligible, and I pay a shit-tonne of tax. My mortgage has gone up again and it costs $77 for <half a tank of diesel.

I don’t feel like contributing to society anymore. How’s everyone else coping?

A survey of MEAA members in the creative and media industries found that 71% are extremely concerned about the loss of human-led creativity.

AuDHD means being autistic and having ADHD. And it can look very different to a single diagnosis

People with AuDHD often find their traits and experiences don’t neatly fit into either category – and they can find themselves pulled in different directions.

Virgil van Dijk wheels away to celebrate his dramatic winner v Everton.

6 - Liverpool have now scored six 90th-minute winners against Everton in the Premier League - the most one side has against a single opponent in the competition's history. Bragging.

Freddie Woodman in 2066

Freddie Woodman deserving of a mention imo. Came into a hostile environment and didn’t put a foot wrong. Well done Freddie!

Jesus that was a stressful game. Badly played for half of it, but yep, it’s a win! Really hope Mama is ok, and Woodman too.

Oh, Curtis. Dear Curtis... #lfc

What a beautiful corner. Fantastic. #lfc

OH MY GOD IT HAPPENED!! It’s happened!! #lfc

😭😭😭😭😔 #lfc

Oh my god, Slot, what are you doing? These subs are illogical. Once again, I don’t understand his choices at all. #lfc

And now there’s no urgency at all, FFS. Are they trying to win? Slot, make more subs if you’re not getting them fit enough for 90 minutes!! #lfc

I really hope we can score again… but they look more likely to. #lfc

Yaaaaay, Rio! Let’s go! Let’s go! #LFC

We could do with one of those right now, SLOT, do your job! #lfc
