i guess it’s because i knew a bunch of hacker misfits in my teen years and there were heaps of movies about them being a huge part of the resistance but i really expected hackers to stick way more spanners in way more works than this, in this current climate

That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.
"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."
This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.

CSIRO to slash hundreds of jobs in cost-saving drive
The staff association at the nation’s leading scientific research organisation says the latest round of cuts marks “a sad day for publicly funded science”.

You know, I’m (for some reason) rewatching the Batman V Superman extended edition and, shorn of all the weirdo online bullshit, I quite like Snyder’s little DC trilogy. Man of Steel, BvS Extended, Justice League extended. It’s weird, kinda dumb, but sincere stuff.

For fifteen years, I’ve been trying to figure out why my body and brain seem to work differently to everyone else’s. As of today, I legit think I have a scientific theory that would explain everything. This is, remarkably, not a build up to a joke. I am joyous ❤️

There's an 11year old girl sitting in adult cells in Perth lockup because she got caught shoplifting a drink and a pastry from Coles.worth less than $10
'7NEWS can reveal the Adelaide teen accused over a sickening attack on a homeless woman at Hawthorn is the son of prominent business leaders. The Youth Court has been told the former private schoolboy was already on bail at the time of the alleged assault which was filmed and posted online.'

Case in point: I’m super white and my hair is like the antithesis of loc-able hair. Flattest, straightest hair in town. I once had a hair dresser try to poof it up a bit - ‘it’s remarkable, it just falls straight over, it doesn’t stand up at all’. As such, I do basically nothing to it ever 😎
The age old argument about why white people should not get dread locs: wear the styles that are good for your hair type specifically.
Some white people have curly hair, and some are white-passing biracial people with kinky hair who can make it work. If you have bone straight hair try another style

The Department gets cranky at social security decision makers for following the law (when determining a reasonable excuse).
Here, they conclude that these LAWFUL social security decisions are "not consistent with the policy intent" of applying more penalties. Extraordinary

We also see that the Department tried to attack the “reasonable excuse” provisions, enshrined under social security law, to further reduce administrative burden for providers and government, & streamline more punishments and penalty decisions against job seekers

These docs show that the Department knew many job providers' decisions are incorrect - and complain about the administrative burden of overturning them
Their solution? Give job providers new, automated powers to make harsher punishments w/ less government oversight. Legally disastrous

It’s interesting watching Labor get punished by the courts on refugee concentration camps and robodebt and then proceed to do pretty much exactly the same approach as soon as they possibly could.
NEW: I have obtained, under FOI, a secret Department report that initially recommended the Targeted Compliance Framework - aka, the unlawful "mutual obligations" scheme
It reveals that, like Robodebt, they recklessly built this thing to punish "entitled" frauds who never existed

Interesting to see this echoed in ‘Palestinians who died of starvation had underlying health conditions’ bs. In both instances, it’s an implicit argument that it doesn’t matter if already-sick or already-disabled people die and in both cases it’s distraction bullshit from a far bigger crime.
This healthy vs vulnerable narrative with children brought us to this place.

Epstein was convicted in 2008.
This dump of emails shows him *over a decade later* in constant communication with damn near everyone with any degree of power.
There are emails from 2019, 11 years later, over decade later.

The thing about elon going to epstein island in 2014 is that Epstein very publicly became a registered convicted sex offender in 2008, 6 years earlier.
Note: Epstein set up Elon's brother Kimbal with a girlfriend in 2011, 3 years after Epstein became a registered convicted sex offender.

It’s gonna be weird when all the texts and emails come out showing people planning Epstein’s death and whatnot. Just typo-ridden midnight texts like ‘he y so we gonna have jef suiside or wat lots of luv the vice president’
“Hundreds of texts over almost a year show Maga influencer Steve Bannon and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein workshopping legal & media strategies to protect Epstein from the legal & publicity quagmire that enveloped him in the last year of his life.”
Something something traditional values.

Super curious about this. Struggling to think of examples (and I know a lot of songs).
You could say Doctor Doctor by Robert Palmer and Legs by ZZ Top. The first one is about a woman who is a doctor (in 1979) and the second one is about a woman’s competent use of legs. But, yeah, it’s a stretch.

The algorithm brought me Cake’s “Short Skirt/Long Jacket” on my drive to work, and I am wondering what other songs celebrate female competence (“she’s touring the facility / and picking up slack”, “she uses a machete / to cut through red tape” etc) from a masculine POV. They must be out there, no?

There’s a strange similarity between R Kelly and Israel. I remember when that R Kelly doco came out and everyone rushed to denounce him. But, the first reporting of his crimes was in like 2001. There were viral comedy sketches about his crimes. But, everyone feigned surprise and shock. Familiar.
