Older people have been saying this for months. Labor's automation of aged care assessments has been a disaster, under-assessing need and priority, denying care and driving up waitlists. It's past time to bin the whole thing and put humans back in charge of decision-making.

Imagine it being documented for the entire world that your parent is a lazy deadshit who couldn’t be bothered mustering up 3 nice words about you.

Australia has essentially eradicated cervical cancer, two decades (+/-) on from the introduction of the HPV vaccine

Twelve-year-old wins Australian slam competition prize with poem about ChatGPT: ‘It’s totally unnecessary’

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

And that’s with most of their revenue being a fake techbro circle jerk.

White DJs now using AI to steal the voices of black female vocalists on their tracks rather than actually hiring black female vocalists is 🤮

My bestie of 20 years just won with this gorgeous portrait she got of me 😍

SCENE: Kelly Clarkson and the owners of Art of Play meet at the COVID conscious lesbian bar for an arranged mediation. The mediator walks in: it’s Ed Sheeran. Mark Zuckerberg is sitting up the back pretending to enjoy a Guinness because his Muse told him this was the hot new spot to look Normal™️

This firm has given me my best line of the year. I use it all the time in my trainings. It is “don’t use AI without disclosure and human oversight because we want to delight our customers not Deloitte them”. It gets a chuckle every time.

I learned how to make French Toast from Saturday Disney.

Poop eating dog eats its own poop. More at 6.

Finally realised what tech companies insisting 'you need to suffer some hurt right now to enjoy a glorious future' reminded me of

10kms into the MCG with @heydaaaavey.bsky.social

Apparently queer people existing must be relentlessly censored by Government, but the Government live streaming real executions is fine and dandy.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

My lesbian wifey from the country got the nicest photos of me I’ve seen in ages 🥹

Maybe we should try to anthropomorphise climate models so they stop defunding them

Eerily similar to the abortion debate. They care about a foetus right until it becomes a human being out in the world and then don’t care if that child lives in abject poverty. They want to anthropomorphise chatbots so we feel bad for regulating them while not caring about the harm to real humans.

oh so *that’s* why the BBC is turning to shit www.ign.com/articles/50-...

The AFL kind of fucked itself with the perfect pre-game show of all time that they’ll never surpass huh? It was Tina for the NRL. Now Kylie for the AFL. Good luck to anyone after lol

NT Police hiding behind a spokesperson for what should be a full-throated condemnation from the top brass. Active investigation/court proceeding or not, it’s not disputed that it happened and this is an utterly piss weak response: www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

War criminal not arrested, but the police jumped right in arresting *checks notes* some people holding banners.

Hold the CEOs personally, criminally liable for each instance of this and watch how quickly guardrails are suddenly entirely possible and reasonable.

how did this happen? well we forgot to tell them not to do that

"Independently" my fkin arse.

So Zuck invented a tamagotchi that spies on you and lies to you?

Progressives have really got to stop lecturing the community that “actually you’ve got it really good” - because there’s also also a whole set of inequality metrics that back up the very real pressures people are feeling in their jobs, homes, families, communities.

Once again I’m saying: the west / anglosphere should really pay more attention to the Gen Z protests in middle & low income countries. Far from perfect, but incredibly effective:

#TeamArt 🎨

What I would have looked like in the 80s.

Turning to Copilot because you're sad is insane.

Oh, so they’re *completely* out of ideas.

People will die to keep the tobacco lobby happy. Insane www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

QLD Government spending its time attacking trans kids and Indigenous art - meanwhile they can’t seem to manage safe water www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...
