I keep seeing people say that Murderbot refers to itself as "she/her" in the books (you know, the ones I wrote). Could someone comment with a quote (from the books I wrote) or point me (the writer) to where that is? Maybe I can clear up the confusion. In the books. Which I wrote.

Australian journalism focuses almost entirely on political drama rather than political information. Journalists talk about public perception, but that's the only information they present to the public.
Journalists are not doing their jobs and it damages our democracy.
This morning on ABC RN Breakfast, Sally Sara's first qn to Treasurer @jimchalmers.bsky.social was this: "Will this rate cut get Labor over the line at the election?" srsly. Yet Sara failed to even mention THIS 👇 fun fact. #auspol #ausecon #AusVotes2025

Reading EBAs is an actual skill, as is knowing how people qualify for various allowances and loadings, who knew.

(Good article, great ground work done by Kenji Sato)
It’s taken nearly 18 months of every mainstream news outlet, commentator and politician claiming traffic controllers somehow get paid $200,000+ a year for a journalist to actually see if it was even mathematically possible.

And surprise surprise, “industry modelling” was basically made up.
Are Australian traffic controllers really earning $200k per year?
Politicians and news outlets claim Australian traffic controllers are earning $200,000 per year. The ABC has crunched the numbers to see how credible these claims are.

That lift is still pretty exciting some days.
