What's going on with SBS World cup livestream? Showing yesterday's match today....ggrrrrrr

On KS Channel 9 presenter. 'Tough few days'. Is he naive? Maybe. Is he receiving poor advice? Maybe. Does he have history of making poor decisions? Yup Is this his responsibility? Oh yes!

Looks like the ABC hasn't reported on the case today, but the BBC has: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Yes, whenever you hear stuff like this - AI inevitablism from respected creators and normally trusted sources - remember that nothing in your lifetime has had so much money spent on convincing you that it cannot fail and that we desperately need it, consequences be damned.

Dead certain. The ledger showing how Australia fails its women - Michael West

So far this year, 34 women have been killed by their domestic partners as Government carefully selects what atrocities to focus on.

It’s nice that the Pope is yelling at AI techbros and warmongers. But, please remember that he also thinks banning trans healthcare across an entire country is fine and thinks abortion is the enemy of peace.

Netanyahu's Isreal is a pariah state that benefits from the protection of Big Bro Murica. I look forward to Netanyahu and his Govt being ostracised from the international community. It worked with Apartheid South Africa and Isreal can be welcomed back when it stops behaving as a terrorist state.

This whole thing stinks

Segal then said that while she is no longer the President of the ECAJ bcoz of her now “independent” role, she “can’t be removed” from ECAJ because of a “technical” matter, before admitting she has hired an ECAJ “specialist” to work in her office.🤦‍♂️ Unbelievable. #auspol

The Albanese Labor Government has just given the Federal police $200 million, as part of the new 'AUKUS Command' force. Today we learnt this is solely to protect US and UK submarines. Australians paying for the protection of the US military, that's AUKUS.

Are people actually going to vote for this woman? 😳 #auspol #trumpLite

I have posted about this today already, but the editorial line at the AFR right now is utterly unhinged. The $400k figure in this headline - given with zero context - is over TWENTY-FIVE FUCKEN YEARS! The only reason to put that number in your headline is to make the changes sound scary and big.

John Safran on SBS tonight, talking about free speech, offensiveness, and fine-lines in debate and democracies. Enlightened insights, ending with the inward question... what BS opinions of your own has everyone else had to tolerate? Good question, JS.

“I am Jewish, and the antisemitism I experience comes from Zionists and far-right supporters of Zionism because of my outspoken opposition to the actions of the Israeli state.” – Judith Treanor #antisemitism #zionism also #FuckIsrael

The antisemitism I experience comes from Zionists and far-right supporters of Zionism because of my opposition to the actions of Israel.

Hi @scienceau.bsky.social, perhaps the Science Meets Parliament gala dinner Pauline Hanson's so fond of can spotlight fossil fascism, to enable scientists to educate themselves critically about One Nation, racism & fossil fascism❓(backgrd next post) Not just provide photo ops for One Nation reps

Dr Jeremy Walker@jeremywalker.bsky.social · 3mo ago

3/- It's absolutely urgent that we discuss and name the current Hanson-LNP moment as fossil fascism, not resort to mind numbing lazy cliches like 'populism' or compartmentalise the racist content away as in any way seperate from the 'dump net zero'/fossil fuel funding/Atlas Network disinfo.

Apparently, early polling shows a negative response to the budget tax changes. Really? So, trying to reverse generational tax inequalities is generally unpopular? I think the polling is unrepresentative or just wrong. Or Pauline effect? #Budget2026 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Sir David Attenborough. Rarely would I say that there are humans who should be idolised. But I can't think of many who have had such a continued and meaningful impact on the world through their passion as him. Happy 100th birthday, and thank you for all the amazing Life on Earth you have shown us.

For the record, every Trump critic I know always thought and said that Hunter Biden was a garbage guy trying to trade on his dad's name. The pushback was on whether *Joe* Biden was involved in kickback schemes. No one no doubts the Trump Family—top to bottom—is utterly corrupt.

You should be too. And if you're not, be furious for someone less well off than you. If we don't actually start voting for the future, we are completely and utterly fucked.

Western journalists, who largely ignored Israel's slaughter of their colleagues in Gaza, are playing handmaiden to Trump's fascism.

Just re-upping this post from NIH/CDC “Director” and right-wing podcast staple Jay Bhattacharya, who seems to think that he is a more “trustworthy source to comment on reforms in public health” than the Lancet. He traded science for politics to gain Twitter fame, and has not altered course since.

I am reminded of how many people only start complaining about systems once they have to start using them liked aged care or disability support. It’s too late then, mates. You should have been advocating for the improvement of these systems several decades before.
