Nice to see something positive news about public transport investment. The only problem with the Suburban Rail Loop is that it should have been started decades ago #SRL abc.net.au/news/2025-06-2…

@NC_Renic Needs to stay true to the source though. Even once they're happily married, they still give each other trash reviews

Just want to spruik @BarillaAUS for putting their pasta in entirely plastic-free packaging. They didn't used to be my go-to pasta, but they will be for as long as they're the only brand doing this in the supermarket

1. Log into your Microsoft account. 2. Go to subscriptions. 3. Select the option to cancel your subscription. 4. There will be an option to downgrade to a "Classic" plan without AI (which is IDENTICAL to your previous plan). Thanks to Atomic Shrimp youtu.be/eYVPThx7yss?si…

Do you hate Microsoft's Co-Pilot? Do you feel like were forced to upgrade? Turns out you can go back to your previous, "classic" subscription, but Microsoft has hidden this option. It's easy. Here's how:

I was luck enough to contribute to the book 'The Anthropology of Ambiguity'. The amazing podcasters over at @tracesdreams recorded interviews with many of the authors. If you want to see what you it was all about, check it out here youtu.be/F5qf8KWgcTY?si…

@nise_yoshimi Also, as an Australian, I can double the tension. I actually love a lot of old Aussie folk tunes and poetry. Really grabs my heart sometimes. But knowing it all comes from genocide makes me feel it in my stomach

@nise_yoshimi I think this is a big tension on the left more broadly. Many of my friends want to live in a post-nationalism world, but nations still have such a sway over people's emotions. Yes, they are relatively recent social constructs, but they spread fast because they're powerful ideas

Keating’s unarguable proposition: it’s not in Australia’s interest to go to war w/ China and the Aus people know it. Yet we’ve turned northern Aus into a US base and AUKUS will shrink into a decision to host US nuclear subs in our ports. Both guarantee we will be a nuclear target

@JennyENicholson You kidding me? As far as I'm concerned that's a compliment to Disney writers! I reckon you could write a freaking cool sci-fi story with that premise. A bit Left Hand of Darkness but more hippy and asking but still asking questions about gender, individuality and the mind
