  Malicious compliance is always a valid protest tactic. https://metro.co.uk/2026/08/10/councillors-wind-reform-colleagues-singing-much-national-anthem-29340726/amp/

  The only traditional difference about how the ALP and the LNP like to kick disadvantaged people in the face is that the ALP try to discretely jerk off about the misery they cause later. But more recently, they seem to even be giving up on that. #auspol https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/aug/09/centrelink-pursuing-debts-that-are-more-than-40-years-old-despite-agreeing-to-waive-old-arrears?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

  Scientist1: "I have good news and bad news." Scientist2: "What's the good news?" Scientist1: "I have definitive proof that the Universe is a simulation." Scientist2: "Good grief. Then what's the bad news?" Scientist1: "The simulation is written in SNOBOL."

  Back to watching more "Ride or Die". And absolutely in love with them using "Kill of the NIght" by Gin Wigmore as the theme song. #music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK_NnGSTf0M

  For the love of *waves hands* everything, if you are thinking it would be cool to "add a voice agent" to a business application, could you please pay 10 people to go into random offices and start Enunciating Commands Loudly to understand just how much it will piss off the average worker?

  Back from my nuclear stress test and my husband had done this drawing of me ... the last coffee I had was around midday Sunday and I'm now enjoying one a bit after 13.00 Tuesday. This. This is me. #catsofmastodon

  Every time I see friends post excitedly about going to the USA for a holiday, it takes all my fucking effort to not reply "Enjoy the fascism! Hope they don't arbitrarily arrest you and put you in indefinite detention!" Like, seriously, why the fuck are you still going over there?

  Josh Taylor on the Guardian: "Telstra’s $30,000, 15-year-old server that wasn’t updated caused outage, execs say" Yes Telstra Execs, you're 100% correct the server caused the outage, not the hierarchy of management who decided the cost of the modernisation project for that piece of technology was too expensive. Just like how it's the NT4 server in that business over there that caused an outage, or the Tru64 system in that other business that caused its failure, or the Netware...

  Imagine if you bought a box set of DVDs from a nearby store. Then a year later they changed their distribution agreement and could no longer sell those DVDs, so they broke into your house to remove them from your library. https://www.techdirt.com/2026/07/15/sony-deletes-a-bunch-more-movies-from-the-accounts-of-people-who-bought-them/

  "People of Earth. I am Slaaartvast the Magnificent, the transcendent son of Slarm and daughter of Graabnust. I regret to inform you that your simulation has (again) run off the rails. Please stand by while I adjust the prompts that run your reality. This may be disconcerting and for some, uncomfortable. However, I need to max out the empathy traits and that will also involve getting rid of this 'capitalism' bug you seem to have developed. Oh, let me know if you need some guillotines...

  Remember to periodically assert your dominance in the office (and encourage management to suggest you work from home more often) by regularly reheating Tuna and Gorgonzola wraps in the kitchenette, and eating fresh Durian at your desk as an afternoon snack.

  Entire V/Line service shutdown because of a Telstra outage? Jesus Fucking Christ, it's 2026 and concepts like "robustness" and "redundancy" still seem to be completely missing from some business lexicons.

  #uspol As another horrible person approaches their end, remember that "speak no ill of the dead" is a terrible admonition that can turn even the worst people into saints. Instead, comfort yourself with this: "Of the dead, speak only the truth".

  Do not go gently into that good night. For it is very dark, and you are likely to be eaten by a grue.

  Remember, it's only illegal if a private citizen does it. If a company does it, it's "increasing shareholder value" and "business initiative'.

  From a behaviour and ethics perspective, this tells me far more about Peter Diamandis than it does about an average human being. #surveillance #ethics #privacy https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/26/xprize-founder-says-humans-behave-better-when-theyre-being-watched/

  Today I horrified an American colleague who had recently visited Australia and described a very tasty thing they had eaten but couldn't recall the name and when they had described it enough I automatically called it a snot block before correcting myself to vanilla slice.

  Dear Word Game Developers: If your game does not accept swear words because of some prissy personal beliefs you happen to have, I’m calling it a hate crime against Australians. Sincerely, Fuck you.

  #auspol A monoculture is just such a repellent thing to say that you want in a country, and I think you have to be remarkably stupid, remarkably bigoted – or both – to think it is a good idea. What's the logical extension of a monoculture? Forget about whether this is about skin colour, accents or languages. Sorry, only one type of restaurant allowed, ever. No, you can't have nut milk because you're lactose intolerant, you can have an espresso or you can have real cow's mil...

  Writers convention Host: "We have a particularly special guest with us tonight. The ghost of J.R.R. Tolkien will be making a few comments." J.R.R. Tolkien's Ghost taps the mic: "Is this on? Yes, well, sorry, I just thought I should come back. You see, I made a slight mistake. It's meant to be pronounced Jandalf."

  Given his prior cosplay as a lump of coal by rubbing coal dust all over his face to talk about fossil fuels, I can't wait until Matt Canavan goes into full swing over the fuel crisis and dresses up as solar panels for a photoshoot. Or maybe he'll dress as a giant battery. (Don't. Lick. The. Battery.) #auspol

  #auspol Guardian on Hanson and Bernardi with their flights supplied by $billionaire, and Hanson declaring in the members interest register: “Wonderful catching a flight that doesn’t try and welcome me to my own country each time it touches down,” she wrote.' I can't imagine how much it must diminish someone's humanity to be so hateful all the time. Imagine feeling a need to write that. What a sad little creature she is. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/a...

  Ah yes, my watch is telling me I've been in afib since ~8pm last night. That'll explain the level of fatigue I'd been feeling for 24-48 hours before (I'm starting to see the pattern). So, signed off work before I even started for the day and watching to see if I need to visit the hospital. Le'sigh.

  Guardian, “Anthony Albanese says improving voters’ lives best way to fight rightwing populism and Pauline Hanson”. Well dude, you have a supermajority in Parliament and in a time of rising costs of living, there are so many levers to pull. Shame you don’t seem inclined to pull anything worth while. #auspol
