Good call.

I think they'll want a less ambiguous word than "substantially" at some point, but keeping AI slop off the platform is a good start.

We need more mainstream media to start calling out attempts by lobbyists (all kinds, really) to effect change.

Otherwise narrow interests are all represented behind closed doors.

One step beyond the Streisand Effect.

Streisandcide? A decision made to prevent something from being seen that goes so badly that it destroys the organisation/event that was making the attempt.

Fucken idiots.

'I don't direct the board... but I did make it clear that the government wanted this to happen'.

Said the man in charge of the body that appoints the members of the Adelaide Festival Board which appoints the members of the Writers Festival board.

@tonymartin.bsky.social, thanks for including the old "Total Tools" sketch in Sizzletown 101.

I was out on a walk was probably freaking the passers by with my laughter.

"Tony Bullimore" really hit hard. That guy *was* a total tool - famous for sinking boats.

Something I hate about "reality" tv shows is that a character visits someone and you get shots of cars arriving and from inside the house. Then they say "Hello" and shit...

Ridiculous.

Good work, Ben Stokes on getting your bowler away from the umpire during that non-decision. Unsure what the 3rd Umpire was doing...

It is the fault of the English and Australian cricket teams that I have American "football" on my TV at the moment.

I rarely venture to Twitter... but every now and again it can be worth it.

Watching a bunch of Trump cultists lose their minds over a Tweet from Brian Krassenstein (no idea who that is, btw), calling for his arrest, etc.

When he was just aping some words Trump used on Truth Social.
