Byron Donalds speaks about the importance of education in front of a misspelled sign. You can’t make this shit up.

@MichaelAArouet @larrythkw Remember when Europe went back to cutting wood for electricity 3 years ago? This pic from a friend of mine in Germany.

WOW. 750,000 complaints about BOM's new website. #BOM CEO Stuart Minchin told estimates the Website price was $4M then $32M and finished at $96 when "they received the final bill" Another $16M has been spent so far to fix some "issues" No one has been sacked for this failure

BREAKING: A whistleblower has handed to me the late term abortion procedure used at hospitals across Australia and it is horrendously cruel. 🛑No pain relief is mandated prior to the injection of potassium chloride into the baby's heart. 🛑Potassium chloride is injected into a live baby at a gestation when they can feel pain. In animals, this injection is banned unless the animal is sedated first. This needs to stop. We need to ban feticide now. Join us THIS Wednesday at 5.30PM outside SA parliament as we rally for these babies and support Sarah Game's efforts to ban feticide for babies older than 25 weeks in South Australia.

This is my type of humor

The Catholic Church operates over 5,500 hospitals globally. It is the single largest non-government provider of healthcare in the world.

Last night’s 60 Minutes episode looked at the big changes to negative gearing & capital gains tax. Younger Australians are realising they were told one thing before the election… & got something very different. Many now feel they’re in a tougher position than ever. Housing just got even harder. Welcome to the harsh reality, regret has set in. This gov’t has screwed over all Australians.

@MarkoMatvikov @KarenRose2021 Australia should be one of the richest countries in the world The reason we’re not? Canberra! 🤬

Go back 50yrs , the bloody government would produce short movies about all our successes in industrial production , small business, exporting , homes, road infrastructure & people’s enjoyment of our natural amenities, come the 80s we saw a shift into demonstrations like ban nuclear ships entering Australia & from there it’s been like a slow train wreck, all of the above has gone backwards!! No longer the “lucky” country, now more like a nation begging for help , christ we can’t even produce the fuel we need to support ourselves!

There are many good X articles lately, some superb, intellectual, and honest. They are 1000x better than opinion columns in newspapers. I noticed my chat group has more X article links than links from MSM. In the era of agentic AI, speed in reacting to truthful information is everything, or gradient descent can quickly go in another direction. A rare sign of enlightenment.

Australia ban on social media for u16s: - exempts Bluesky UK ban on social media for u16s: - exempts Bluesky The establishment wants to control the rapid shift to the right while promoting a far-left platform as its replacement (fortunately, no one is interested).

Jimmy Carr nailed something a lot of us feel but can’t explain. We’re living better than 99.9% of humans who ever walked the earth, hot showers, modern medicine, endless entertainment, kids that actually survive infancy, yet so many of us feel miserable. He calls it “life dysmorphia.” We get used to how good we have it (the hedonic treadmill), then compare ourselves to everyone else and tank our own happiness. As he puts it: happiness = quality of life minus envy. Marcus Aurelius put it perfectly: “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.” When was the last time you caught yourself feeling unhappy despite objectively having it pretty damn good?

As stated previously, we are now at the stage of the cycle where your house price loses more money for you than you make from your full time job 👍👍

Hughesy is spit roasting the Labour Party 🤣 @DHughesy is a god

Pretty big this is in the Fin review. Few years ago this would be seen as very racist but it’s probably pretty true

Being a crypto bro in my home Australia means 25% corporate tax for qualifying companies, and up to 47% on the rest when I cash out. Make a million dollars profit after taking all the risk? • Company pays $250k corp tax → $750k left. • Distribute (franked or unfranked) at the top rate and you walk away with roughly $530k net. Let’s say I buy a $250k company car: I can only claim depreciation (business portion), and if I lease it over 12 months without a proper logbook, I get hit with Fringe Benefits Tax. I get fucked in several ways, left right and centre. Meanwhile, I stay in Thailand, paper-move my crypto, and that million is all mine thanks to 0% on crypto capital gains for 5 years via licensed platforms. Then my money comes back tax-free and snaps up fire-sale bargains as a result of the government’s stupidity, at the cost of everyday Australians. The thing is, I’m not an isolated event. Capital will flee Australia, and the government will try to squeeze more blood from the stone.”

Labor’s going to lean heavily on shallow voting record attacks - here’s how it works: > Package legislation under a slogan - ‘higher wages’, ‘cost-of-living relief’, ‘cheaper medicines’, etc. > Claim that anyone who votes ‘no’ to the bill is opposed to the slogan - while dismissing scrutiny of the actual detail > Ignore legitimate concerns about effectiveness, trade-offs and unintended consequences buried in the fine print > When the outcomes don’t match the slogan, blame those who voted ‘no’ while insisting the intentions were good All while holding a majority in the lower house and support from the Greens in the upper house - meaning they didn’t need their opponents’ support anyway. So don’t be fooled by these attacks - a bill is not a slogan. And bad bills destroy lives.

Thanks to socialism, the average Zimbabwean became a trillionaire before @elonmusk 💪

META IS AN ABSOLUTE MESS INSIDE RIGHT NOW Wired just dropped an exclusive, and the details are wild. This week someone interrupted a livestreamed Meta meeting, open to thousands of employees, with an expletive-filled rant about "being the company's bitch." They told the presenters to find a specific Meta AI executive and "tell him that he's a piece of shit." A presenter covered their face with their hands. Employees in the chat called the start "spicy." Here is what's behind it. Meta's AI restructuring cut 8,000 jobs last month, 10% of the company. The same restructuring feeds a unit called Applied AI, where 6,500 engineers and product managers have been drafted in waves since April. There is no application process. You get selected, and your options are join or leave the company. Members call themselves "draftees." The new job: writing puzzles and coding problems to train Meta's AI models, two tasks a week. People hired to build apps for billions of users now assemble training data for hundreds of AI scientists. "It's literally the gulag," one employee told WIRED. "You have zero purpose in life all of a sudden, you barely interact with anyone, you just have these tasks every week." Another: "Most people find the work soul-crushing." At the same time, Meta started recording US employees' clicks and keystrokes to generate more AI training data. Over 1,600 employees signed a petition demanding it stop. The concession: employees can pause the tracking for up to 30 minutes. Zuckerberg's response came in an internal memo Friday: "We've made mistakes and will almost certainly make more." He repeated his promise of no more mass layoffs this year. His fixes: limits on the manager ratios Meta had deliberately pushed to 50-to-1 on some teams, bigger budgets for team events, a hackathon next month, and assigned desks by the end of the year. That same memo says Meta's north star is "to be the best place for the most talented people in the world to make an impact." The most talented people in the world are writing puzzles for a model and asking permission to pause the keystroke logger. META declined to comment.
