@ConversationEDU @michellegrattan @UniCanberra And yet, not one single politician from the Australian Liberal Party has publicly condemned Elon Musk for his Nazi salute. The current "furore" over Antisemitism is a ruse led by the Right Wing Think Tanks and News Limited to undermine voter confidence in the government.

The Albanese government if re-elected will provide a $10,000 incentive payment to apprentices to work in housing construction. @michellegrattan @UniCanberra theconversation.com/albanese-to-pr…

The correct term for Elon Musk sycophants is “the elongated”.

The best way to avoid being scammed is to avoid taking phone calls. The best way the government can help prevent scams is to make all unsolicited outbound business calls, and the devices used to facilitate them, illegal. theconversation.com/the-dangers-of…

We should make it Australian to give the boot to people who use the word "un-Australian".

Which seems kinda long to have a ban on anything but especially against something that encourages kids to be active. But also way too late to actually protect kids from whatever it is they thought would happen to them who would have been #breakdancing during it's heyday.

I just found out New South Wales has an active ban against #breakdancing in schools. It's been in place since 1999.

@DaveMilbo Not that I'd prefer money to be spent on submarines. Just hurry up and invent teleportation.

@DaveMilbo But Australia will make them useless. If we built a VFT between Melbourne and Sydney then every pissant town in between will be crying out for stations to "revitalise" it with "tourism dollars". Not to mention all the fucking safety measures we'll put in place.

I am perpetually and forever on team Very Fast Train in this recurring saga, mostly on the grounds of 'get your fucking shit together, this is embarrassing' and 'maybe governments could just pay for nice, useful things we need for once?'

@LeenaVanD That fucking post is a test of my patience.

@tha_rami From a guy who learned to fly a plane after playing flight simulator, I find it hard to understand your objection to a games developer wanting his staff to experience "real life" so to make their product the best it can be. After all, I became a Transformer for 3 years...

@Asher_Wolf Are we allowed to punch them when we meet them?

Whilst I think this is a step in the direction we need to take, if Twitch was serious about helping DJs they'd bring back Hosting. It was the best way for us to get discovered. This appears to be mostly an effort to help them not get attacked by the copyright police.

You want games and the games industry to prosper as anything but a money spinner for uncaring investors, we've got to unionise and also smash capitalism.

This is EA's message to investors. Investors don't give a fuck about games nor the people who make them. All they want is return on their investment. You keep investors interested by talking about the money makers - currently Ads and AI - not decades old IP which costs big bucks.

Then I see Ninja Theory is trending and then read the stories and I'm like, oh seriously, go fuck yourself, The Games Industry! I love so many products you produce and so many individuals who are passionate about working in it, but we all deserve so much better.

I came here to lament on @WagaduChronicle shutting down, to thank everyone on the team for their passion and dedication and tell them they did a fantastic job, and thank (once again) @liamesler for bringing my attention to it. You did a bloody good job people.

This is because journalists started to use Twitter AS THE NEWS instead of a source of news.

@LukePlunkett Great article and I have the same speakers and same experience. But I've lived in different countries and even took them there and back. But the normal words we have to butcher because of the Yanks now though... Grouphouse? ooof🤦‍♂️ You poor bastard.

"Doubling down" on games as a service based on the success of Hogwarts Legacy is like deciding to build an office block because your work from home lifestyle is so successful. It completely misses the point.

This makes no sense to me. Hogwarts Legacy was successful because it was a stand alone game. It was enjoyable because it was crafted to be played by a single player at a pace they enjoyed.
