A humiliating backdown on an ideologically driven policy that would have hurt services, ppl working from home & pushed the ACT into recession.

I'll keep fighting against public service cuts but have no confidence Coalition won't keep attacking Canberra.

Coalition commits extraordinary about-face on 'end' to work from home
A Coalition promise to send public servants back to the office has been jettisoned, and plans to cut 41,000 Commonwealth jobs walked back significantly, in a mid-campaign backflip.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.
Tweet from Scott Jennings, saying "um, yes, that's really a problem," with a quoted image saying "The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality right-wing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence, people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly aren't usually on our side."

Top comment on the recent NYT story on DOGE’s young aides

Goran World - yesterday As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you don’t stand up now—if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to comply—you may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.

I haven’t watched #AustralianIdol in a long time… anyone else notice that they’re presenting each night as a different day of filming (“day 3!” “day 5!”) but the judges are wearing the same clothes each time? 🤪

I asked my Instagram followers what they want to do next with social media. Interesting that ~70% want off Meta, but most don’t know where to go next…

Grace Tame - what a queen. Great read:

Most LGBTIQA+ Australians who responded to a national Just.Equal survey support police marching in pride parades, but a majority also want conditions to apply.

Seeing a lot of people venting their frustration over use of AI like ChatGPT, because it uses significantly more energy and water than traditional search engines. Especially in the wake of the California fires, which is making many of us feel a bit helpless in the face of climate change…
