I'm traveling so no menorah, and weirdly there are no good windowsills in this place, so this post will have to do. This first night of Chanukah, let there be light.

Okay hivemind, a little help: THIS abomination has appeared in the top corner of my Outlook. I've uninstalled Copilot from the app and the computer, I've turned off connected experiences, and there's no obvious way to remove it from the toolbar. How do I banish it forever?

Good. How about we also prevent more outrageous student debt by finally scrapping the stupid Job Ready Graduates funding model, as the Universities Accord recommends? #FundUnisFairly

'Anthony Albanese says his first priority once his frontbench has been sworn in will be to introduce legislation to cut student debt by 20 per cent, as promised.'

Everything on this list is a) needed in its own right, and b) helping to project American soft power and values around the world. That helps us do the other things we want to do, like avoid wars, trade with other countries, and derive the benefits of a working international order. Great job, DOGE.

#liberal works in Oz; pulls up lots of odds and ends. #democrat doesn't even come up when you search for it. Global tech broligarch fascist bullshit. You can quote me on that.
