It’s fantastic seeing real minds like this at work. You know … solving the big problems like protecting us all from text without serifs. I mean even the term “sans serifs” is foreign, and calibri sounds like a drug dealer.

If you’ve ever made racist complaints about foreign call centres who can’t speak English, I would encourage you to spend an hour of your life talking to an AI call centre. You’ll be begging for enthusiastic broken English.

progressives expect more than conservatives.

Albo, despite growing up in an era of poor artistic representation of women and marginalised groups should have somehow developed a diverse musical palette.

Morrison gave a sausage fest of pubrock and got a free pass

As an atheist - I’m surprised this is what I’m being pinned for. I’m a huge fan of the women’s World Cup, and give zero shits that some of those champs get it on with each other after.

I’d be more worried about my desire to take away the benefits of science from those who don’t believe in it
Looks like a perfectly good future to me 🤷

I can’t stop thinking and Scott Morrison’s recent award of an AC

Not interested in the politics, but genuinely interested in the purpose.

When he next goes for a job, is there anyone reading his CV who will see those two letters and feel they carry more weight than “I don’t hold a hose mate”

The comments section is so much more civilised since the election.

TL: DR - Palmer spent $60 million spamming us all relentless only to get half a percentage point higher than “legalise cannabis” who spent $6,000

And while 6k is a lot of 50 bags, I’m happy to know you cannot buy you way out of being deeply unlikable

So last night my electorate returned the LNP candidate.

But what brings me the most joy is seeing the vote for one nation and trumpet of patriots roughly the same as informal.

The electoral support for these parties is equal to the number of people who can’t fill in a form with 7 boxes

Such a small thing, but watching someone lose an election and give a gracious election speech … glad to live in Australia

Dear LNP

Now that Dutton appears to be gone, can you work on rebuilding a party and platforms that are somewhat electable.

This ALP government needs an opposition, but your culture ware bullshit is toxic.

Seriously, we need to stop electing small target strategy conservative governments who sail in on the back of ALP incompetence and then reveal their true colours.

The thing I never understood about the Nazis is how such a group of physically, emotionally, and psychologically crippled mutants latched onto the idea of a superior form of humanity.

After watching the freak show in Trump’s cabinet, I now understand this puzzle better.
