sooo I have no idea how I ended up at an enterprise bargaining table, representing thousands of employees vs a multibillion dollar corporation, but here we are

Ukraine bombs Russian data centres, kneecapping their foreign influence bot campaigns, and then suddenly powderfinger is able to get back together? Stay woke 👁️

Oh I can't wait for Trump to not care about this at the top of his voice for the next twelve months

this whole OpenAI Australia hack/breach story is very disappointing. If AI is going to hack into our government, i'd hope it would at least be Australian made 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Custom made engagement ring & setting: $4000 Stone: $1000 Guaranteed next day delivery Express shipping: $50 Australia Post sitting on it for two days and counting: priceless

"RBA warns inflation risks starting to materialise" Oh, I know the solution to this! Let's do something that will put prices up even further! That'll fix inflation, right? .....right? #auspol #RBA

So, I have been using #Linux (CachyOS) on my desktop machine for six months now. And my perspective as somebody who likes to play games and write/record music: It's still not ready for everybody to use. But it sure is damned close. Close enough that I'm 99% moved over from #Windows... 1/2

...and that additional 1% is literally one application that I haven't used in ages and may never need again. Literally the only reason I wouldn't recommend it to everyone is it's a bit of a mess-around to get certain things working. But I personally don't mind that because it's fun for my nerd brain

I lost my job, my kids have measles, my electric bill has doubled, and I have explosive diarrhea from a parasite the CDC no longer monitors. But at least now Black kids won't be getting free breakfasts from Head Start anymore.

Someone please give me some compelling reasons as to why a cheap 1990's Lotus Elan is a bad idea. "It's a convertible" is a pretty big mark against it already, but I'm still tempted...

I gotta say, these new spy shots of what might be the new #Toyota #MR2 or #Celica have me getting a bit hot around the collar. I mean clearly it's a test mule, but still...

I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs. I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. 1/5

This is as damning for the media and for Congress as it is for him.

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

whoever invented reactions for emails needs to be put into stocks, hauled into the public square, and subjected to public humiliation.

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “As a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.” — Pope Leo XIV

Certain people say that flying the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags is divisive, and we should only fly the Australian flag. You know what flag I find divisive? The Australian flag. It's flown most proudly by people who would spread unfounded lies, hate, and division in this nation.

that's not to say that there's not millions of wonderfully patriotic aussies that love the flag, of course. It's just that they're drowned out by the ones that behave very poorly in the name of the aussie flag

so it looks like Toyota really are going in for a new MR2 at last. I am, of course, here for this. That engine looks manic!

Just what is Steve Palmer (aka Steve Snake) up to these days anyway? I feel like the time has come for a new retro Sega emulator...

The whiplash this past week regarding everything Xbox is among the most extreme I can recall seeing in the games industry. Going from a hopeful, exciting showcase to the worst possible news. The absurdity of all this is staggering. :(

But we'd never do that, we'd rather keep giving tax handouts to brainless morons to build subpar quality housing for millionaires.

Not sure what drugs Lotus are on, putting a 4-speed automatic in their sports car and their only offering... but I sure don't want any of them
