So I'm on the record, I'd rather inconvenience and zero deaths, than what we have now. Insult me if you please, or block me.

@Info_Aus I feel Canberra is going to be surprised by its defeat on this one.

@R_Chirgwin The govt wants to water down copyright to allow AI companies to use everyone's creative work for free!! independentaustralia.net/politics/polit…

@GrogsGamut Remember how the rise of Indies would save politics? Right now I'm wondering where Allegra shops to buy whatever it is she thinks with.

@merkin_about That's very pretty!

I made this a couple of years ago & have never used it. It's called the virus stitch & makes a lovely lap blanket. #crochet

Dutton has the worldview of a Queensland cop, someone once wrote. We should take that seriously via @crikey_news crikey.com.au/2025/01/29/pet…

fuck off

A @guardian investigation finds over 3,000 imports into Australia were from companies blacklisted over Uyghur forced labor, the first assessment of the large and growing scale of Xinjiang-linked imports into the country. Nations that fail to act become complicit.

@R_Chirgwin @noplaceforsheep Yep. TBF, as long as the country has a military justice system that enforces the Geneva Conventions for its military, then the ICC is deprived of jurisdiction. It is only in cases like Israel, where the jurisdiction of the ICC gets invoked

@Nyx2701 @noplaceforsheep America has always regarded itself as exempt.

@noplaceforsheep It’s a good analysis but it misses the key fact that the US has been undermining the rules based order for decades. Its hostility to the ICC and the legislation that enables its military to invade The Hague are good examples of this.

@Nyx2701 this is interesting

Military procurement in this country stinks.

Tasmania’s waters are being destroyed by toxic salmon farming, yet Peter Dutton wants laws to protect this destructive industry. Tasmanians are demanding action to save marine life, not sell it out to foreign-owned giants like JBS. #politas bobbrown.org.au/liberal-leader…

@Guzzak @evcricket Where @evcricket lives, you hit sandstone real fast.

@evcricket Do they? I have 1,000 feet. Almost no bedrock. In fact, Alaska has very little solid bedrock.

People forget how much dirt there is, right under their feet!

The more Dotton imbibes American electoral calculus, the better I like it. He's training a whole team to lose.

Good news for Blue Mountains people: we don't have to cope with the biggest, baddest funnel-web spiders! australian.museum/about/organisa…

He’s turning it off. Expert advice is that it’s the only way to keep teens off social media. RIP NBN.

@JosephineCrow16 @tim_rust That was so good, darling. Because of the players, you could see how much the girls wanted to be there: watching their idols, getting their autographs.

@tim_rust @R_Chirgwin It was lovely to see so many dads with their girls at the North Sydney match. Enjoy this special time.

Went with @JosephineCrow16 to North Sydney Oval for the Au-Eng women's ODI today. For its age and shortcomings, it's a lovely oval. And the women attract a friendly, happy fan base; with an emphatic Au win, it was a great day!

@tim_rust @JosephineCrow16 Enjoy!

@R_Chirgwin @JosephineCrow16 I will be going to the 4 day match at the MCG with my daughter and her kids. She's a big fan of women's cricket of any flavour

I love that Zuckerberg just came out and said people abandoning his apps by the hundreds of thousands are "virtue signalers" and that they're going to start AI generating their own users. BOTS CAN'T BUY SERVICES FROM YOUR ADVERTISERS MARK.
