I’ve said it before & I’m saying it again.
Every single time I use this Fetch TV remote I am angered by the design decision to put dark grey on black for these buttons.

I use it infrequently enough that I have to shine a torch on the remote almost every damn time I use it.

Braindead design choice
Look at this irritating thing. These 4 buttons have dark grey text on a black button. Like who the hell designed that? 9/10 I’m watching in the dark. So yeah, grab phone, turn on light. Look for button I want. Yes I I’ll memorize eventually… but I haven’t yet since I don’t actually use it that often. Stupid design.

US aligned governments do not serve citizens, they serve corporations and industries and it has been thus for decades.

This includes Australia.

Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

In Andrew Bolt's infamous 2018 "tidal wave of immigrants column", he specifically singled out Jewish communities as 'part of the problem'

The idea that the far-right, anti-immigration parties and xenophobe media are going to protect the Aus Jewish community is absurd

These are just trends for now, ANDREW BOLT What do we today share as Australians, when we don't even have a national day or flag we can agree on any more? In Melbourne’s Springvale, one in four residents speaks Vietnamese at home. Another 10 per cent come from China or Cambodia. In Sydney’s Fairfield, one in four residents were born in Vietnam, Cambodia or China. In Sydney’s Five Dock, long after the heyday of immigration from Europe, one in seven residents still speaks Italian at home. In Melbourne’s North Caulfield, 41 per cent of residents are Jews, including hundreds who have lately fled South Africa. Dandenong now has an official Little Indian Cultural Precinct, with 33 Indian businesses. Such colonising will increasingly be our future as we gain a critical mass of born-overseas migrants. Like tends to attract like and these new colonies can then more easily keep their cultures thanks to satellite TV, the internet, and cheap travel.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

Lots of people aren’t ’digital first’: elderly, many people with disabilities, CALD communities. I love using online services, but I believe policy should meet communities where they’re at, not just serve a mainly rich white demographic. Gvt payment platform should always accept all legal tender

1. A blockade is an act of war

2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨

3. It’s always about oil.

The idea that massive crackdown on anti-genocide protests in universities, and refusing to support Palestinian statehood would have somehow prevented last Sunday's terror attack in Bondi has already infected Aus media so deep that they're taking it as a truism

Sabra Lane: And you also called for action at universities too. Are you satisfied that enough is happening on campuses around the country? Jillian Segal: Well, I am conducting or having an independent person conduct a review of each university. I've called it my university report card. And they are looking at what each university has done in terms of policies, procedures, understanding for antisemitism is an education of those who lead the university, the executive group. And so I will have a report card on every university, mainly the GO8 universities in the first quarter of next year and the others to follow shortly thereafter. And then we'll be able to answer the question exactly. But obviously, it's a major focus. Sabra Lane: Jillian Segal, thanks for joining AM. Jillian Segal: Thank you very much.

An economist can correct me if I’m wrong, but as I understand it, the system as *designed* REQUIRES ~4-5% unemployment.

It then punishes those people for being unemployed, including a payment so low it actively hinders seeking employment.

Then blames them for being unemployed.

DARVO as policy.

Bluesky has also asked the @australia.theguardian.com account to put in its age, and is even more restrictive.

Guardian Australia can't use @bsky.app, though 3rd party posts are still going through.

I won't put GdnAus's 2013 launch as birth date in case it nukes the account. Maybe I'll try 1821

This is why Elon Musk’s X platform was fined by the EU. Elon refused to follow the regulations that every other platform has to adhere to in the EU. This is not a “free speech” issue.
