There's a long habit, because of music's, uh, narcotic, effects on us to attribute our most treasured beliefs to our favoured musicians. But Rosenberg's insistence Handel was actually pagan is something else

The extremely common media takes pre election about a Gen Z rightward shift, born of a lack of any actual engagement with Australian society, was truly remarkable stuff

I genuinely think there is a case that anyone using an AI product of this kind should face a short prison sentence. It's vandalism, just like painting on a wall or smashing a bus stop.
And you don’t even need an actually good bit of tech, which “Objector” may or may not be, to do this! If you just ask the free version of any genAI to do something plausible it still louses up everyone else’s productivity to work out it is bollocks!
The automated problem factory!

This reminds me that Stalin forcibly transplanted hundreds of thousands of ethnic Koreans to Uzbekistan because he assumed they'd side with Japan. Uzbekistan still has one of the larger Korean diasporas and later emigration means Russian food is pretty abundant in Busan

In contrast to the "golden generation" a sizable chunk of the current squad has never lived in a world where Australia failed to qualify for the World Cup

It was a real treat to sit down with Juan Mata this week ahead of the Melbourne Derby.
He's done a lot in his career. 𝘈 𝘭𝘰𝘵. But he still loves to play the game. And no matter what happens, he's not going to let that change.

From Chelsea and Man Utd, to Japan and Australia: Why Juan Mata can't quit soccer
At 37, Juan Mata has won just about everything you can in the soccer world. So why is he still chasing minutes in the far-flung Australian A-League?

hard to believe that people are talking about an animated film about early 20th century mice immigration and it's not the one with the rapping dog
It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

It's also grimly funny that the concentration of information flows into a handful of global platforms shows deleterious effects less because these firms are so powerful, but that they are so weak under pressure
uh i would say it's mildly alarming that the Trump administration is using its sanction powers to compel tech companies into taking its critics offline.
