My column this week is about how fucking BAD the body image/fatphobic vibes are at the moment and how other people need to engage before it destroys us all. I don’t ever insist you read my stuff but I’d love you to read this one www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.
ABC White House correspondent just released ANOTHER anti-trans EO expected that we did not cover in our piece this morning:

A federal ban on funding to programs that acknowledge and affirm transgender people.

I know you’re prob sick of me but I got this off my chest earlier this week & I think a lot of comedy fans could find it cathartic maybe. I’ve been stewing about it for ages & Im happy that it came out as something other than me snarling and growling heterosexualnonsense.substack.com/p/comedians-...
Comedians obsessed with 'wokeness' are the ones ruining comedy
there's nothing less funny than old lazy jokes about cancel culture that we've heard before

“Will pay any amount.”

Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

Rush to select new NDIS needs assessment, to feed outcomes directly to plan budgets, will lead to catastrophic errors. Confidential briefing docs reveal timeline is so tight officials are all but apologising to disability advocates for a fait accompli. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/...
Exclusive: ‘Catastrophic errors’ seen in rushed NDIS reform
Following confidential briefings, disability advocates say hundreds of thousands of people will be underserved by new eligibility rules that are reminiscent of failed Coalition policy.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

Trying out setting a super low price to RSVP to DevOps Sydney meetups, so we don’t have a bunch of time wasters RSVP’ing and not showing up.

Pretty proud of this last minute lightning talk I did at PyCon AU on the weekend.

I started volunteering with NSW SES almost three years ago, and there’s a lot of good reasons for people who work in tech to do it if they have capacity

The Washington Post reports that Michael Anton and Sebastian Gorka had a falling out over who should receive credit for writing Trump's speeches. This is incorrect. In this thread, I will tell you the real reason why Anton dislikes Gorka. 🧵

The gender pay gap — the difference in average pay between Australian men and women — is 11.5 per cent, which is the equivalent of working from November 19 until the end of they year without being paid for it.
Gender pay gap means women working for free from today until end of year

Celebrating our return to Bluesky by sharing the most batshit Australian speech ever given: Bob Katter's gay marriage speech, in all its unhinged glory. Enjoy.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Jen Easterly has been an absolute icon in her role. She truly prioritized building relationships with business and the infosec community, implemented the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative, and championed secure by design development.

Her departure will likely mark the end of the CISA function.
CISA Director Jen Easterly just held a virtual meeting with agency employees to talk transition, per a person familiar with the matter.

Source paraphrased as "We will prepare for transition because that's what we do."

Easterly thanked staff and said she and her deputy would stay until Jan. 20.
