Australia's cyber security co-ordinator just dropped what I think will be a very useful reaction meme

Gotta hand it to Trump: He knows who the cheaters are in football as well.

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

Takeaway coffee sales plunge as fuel and living costs dent Australian spending. Is the economy next? The trend has been accelerated by the US-Israel war on Iran, leaving households – and cafe owners – glum, surveys suggest

I can definitively say that the cost of petrol has absolutely ZERO impact on my spending habits. You know why.

Frame #2250 from S01 -E07 - Bamboo Shoots-627697

i once threw up at a smashing pumpkins concert and billy corgan has yet to ask me if i’m feeling any better.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Exactly one year ago today:

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Increasingly mainstream news is just a fan fic commissioned by the white house

This is not a surprise, this is the normal thing that happens with this party.

It will get worse from here, this is also the normal thing that happens.

went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted

“You can’t possibly make the Cybertruck any uglier.”

“Wanna bet?”

I just happened to rewatch this match a few days ago, and this could have been the worst refereeing performance over 90 minutes in any match of significance, before you even consider the 3 yellows debacle.

I saw a thing this morning of a guy who blamed tornados in the area on new roundabouts and the cars driving in them. That has to be the single most American thing I've ever heard.

The curse of being on the left is being correct to early

The news is full of stories about evil empires, papal threats and unrest in the Middle East. The only solution is a new Crusade.

It's a total mystery.

Did not have "cheering on AI-generated anti-American Iranian propaganda" on my 2026 bingo card...

Iran posted this. What a humiliation for Trump.

For those who think the media has hit rock bottom. Sorry there is no bottom.

*talking to teenage militant atheist self*

current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church

teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government

current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

Ralph Wiggum: When I grow up, I'm going to Bovine University.

This is a tertiary education I can get enthusiastic about.
