Unlike most Australians, Pauline Hanson won’t be sweating on more cost-of-living relief. The defection of Barnaby Joyce from the Nationals boosts One Nation to party status. Now with five members, her salary as leader will increase by $100,000 to $340,900. satpa.pe/sa1DCjQ

@curiousquail.com I just rediscovered your chiptune remixes on my MP3 player. I'm so here for the vibe. I literally just went to an indie developer games showcase and networking night and man the chiptunes are absolutely what I needed to hear and vibe so well with.

There's an old question among GameMaker users who've chosen the tool for its simplicity. How do I make a 3D game in GameMaker? Then you find out you need to know quite a lot of maths and you ask yourself the next question. How do I make a *sort of* 3D game in GameMaker but, like, easily? #gamedev

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

I'd just like to say a big fuuuck all y'all to the boomers who grew up with a thriving economy and a robust social safety net, and then pulled up the ladder behind them.
I love being condescended to my entire lifetime by an older generation that literally lives in a different financial reality 🤌.

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

The Supreme Court is a corrupt, illegitimate institution governed by six right-wing hacks who value advancing Republican political agendas and politicians over any semblance of law or process.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.
Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.
