I've had a comprehensive listen, and I've decided that Massive Attack aren't against Iran

News headline:
US-Israel war on Iran
Trump says decision on 'massive attack' against Iran is close

A powerful article from Abdaljawad Omar @hamayel.bsky.social "Gaza and the Problem of Moral Stupidity" gets to the bottom of something I've only half-understood up until now, with useful intellectual context. https://www.equator.org/articles/moral-stupidity-gaza-palestine-abdaljawad-omar

Moral stupidity, understood this way, signals the unbearable in negative form, marking the place where recognition was refused precisely because recognition was available. These people act morally stupidly not because they know nothing, but because they know too much – and because what they know, if inhabited fully, would cost them their world.

Hmmm, I wonder why that is, Jillian?

First headline:
‘Very serious perception’ in Jewish community that ABC’s Middle East reporting creates negative impression of Israel, Jillian Segal says

Third headline:
Photo of bound Palestinian detainee corroborates Israeli torture reports, say rights groups

You've got to respect a ratio like this. The most perfectly-formed dumb shit aimed squarely at the bsky readership.

Oh no! It appears some embarrassing pictures of the new PM have surfaced. Dirt units these days!

A ginger cat has her head in a toilet bowl - you can see her back and her fluffy tail hanging out

A ginger cat lies on the carpet with her front paws clasped together and an insane look on her face

A ginger cat sits on floorboards of a similar colour to her fur. Her back leg sticks out awkwardly as she looks into the camera, having probably just been licking her own bum

I, too, have decided to step down as Prime Minister of the UK. It's time for new blood (my cat, Lola). (Picture of new PM provided for full transparency)

A ginger cat lying on a set of stairs. There are gaps between each step. The cat looks very comfortable, and her fluffy tail is hanging off the step.

At least they can tell I'm not Péter Holló, but then there are the hallucinations - really just even more incorrect. At least all that water's going to good use!

GLM 4.7 Flash thinks I'm known for my work with The Necks

Mistral 3.2 24B thinks I'm a rock songwriter, known my work in bands like The Drones and Total Control

GLM 4.7 Flash also has a version of me as an Australian bassoonist in the ACO?

Mistral 3.2 24B has also hallucinated a version of me who's an entrepreneur and founder of the Golden Plains festival

"What is this sorcery?" Back in September. She ignores it now :)

A little fluffy ginger cat stares up at a disturbing fluttering thing hanging off the ceiling. She's pretty sure it wasn't there before!

FYI

Screenshot of Google AI result for "mog", which begins with any explanation of the slang term and then informs the reader that "In Australia, 'MOG' frequently stands for the Melbourne Orthopaedic Group."

Saw Split Enz tonight and it was LOVELY. They played nearly all the hits, but missed a trick by neglecting the best Bad Pun Song ever... #AnotherGreatDivide www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmWb...

Photo of the stage at the terribly-named, fairly terrible TikTok Entertainment Centre in Sydney, with Split Enz performing.
Neil Finn wears a blue suit. His brother Tim Finn wears an orange suit which looks kind of mustard yellow here, Noel Crombie (who of course designed all the attire) is in a brown suit, then the two kids sitting in on drums and guitar, drummer wears a shirt & vets, guitarist in a black & white suit patterned in what I can only call "David Jones", and the great Eddie Rayner at the keyboards is in multiple warm colours.

Thing I hate: Australian sellers on @discogsofficial.bsky.social selling in US dollars. Many seeming bargains which are anything but.

A screenshot from Discogs showing an Australian seller selling an item for $34.31 + $3.00 shipping, but when you look underneath it says "About A$51.49 +GST", showing that those prices are in USD.

David Brat is the wurst choice they could have made

Screenshot from the Guardian reporting that "The White House has nominated David Brat, a former Republican member of the US House of Representatives, to be the next ambassador to Australia."

Anyway, best kneidlach coming for tomorrow night's Seder.

A portrait photo of a clump of matzo dumpling mixture on a wooden spoon above a red plastic container with the rest of the matzo dumpling mix. Chicken crackling is crumbled through the mixture, which also has parsley, melted butter and hot water, but the eggs are waiting until the mixture cools.

OK, but you're telling me this is his 15 year old promo pic and not AI-generated?

Screenshot from Stereogum of a news article titled "Singer-Songwriter Pleads Guilty To Defrauding Streaming Services Of $8 Million With Ai-Generated Songs".
The hero pic features a man, apparently 39 years old at the time, wearing a hat (trilby maybe?) and a white t-shirt, holding a guitar, standing in front of a wall with a huge multi-coloured graffiti tag (I mean, it's just a big tag, with some background green splotches. It's probably not even real graffiti). He's photographed from an angle, staring into middle distance, hoping to look soulful.

It says something about the state of my head that I thought, "Wait, they're testing napalm on kids now?" Although it also says something about the Guardian style guide's dogged insistence on only using initial cap for common acronyms.

A headline from the Guardian that says, "Naplan testing paused on first day for 1.4 million students amid widespread tech issues"

Peter Hollo@peterhollo· Feb 28

Fuck this guy too

Australian news headline saying, "Albanese says Australia supports US action against Iran and stands with the Iranian people's 'struggle against oppression'."

Actually, I don't think I will

Portrait of the poster as an avid CD collector. Standing outside Record Jungle in Kanazawa. I bought 16 albums including two 3CD sets and one double CD - all for ¥8,800 - about AUD$82. Classic jungle, Japanese trip-hop, glitch IDM. Japan is CD heaven 💜💿🇯🇵

I'm on this app now as @celloraven - but while it doesn't have desktop support I probably won't use it much. Anyway, find me there so I can find you! @upscrolled.bsky.social

Tells you everything you need to know really. Quote-unquote "Jewish leaders" concerned that the Royal Commissioner on Bondi will be "too left-leaning". And Frydenberg further detailing that they want someone to deliver the right(-wing) conclusions. (cont'd)

Crikey this morning quoting SMH:
It also notes some Jewish leaders in NSW have expressed concern over the potential appointment of Bell “over their belief she might be too left-leaning”.

Former Liberal treasurer Josh Frydenberg responded to the coverage last night by posting a statement on X declaring: “The Prime Minister has been told directly by leaders of the Jewish community that they have serious concerns about this appointment,” adding: “Prime Minister, I appeal to you, this is the time to do the right thing and call a Commonwealth Royal Commission with the appointment of the right Commissioner whose leadership will provide the answers and solutions our country so urgently needs.”

The report in the SMH also says Bell declined to comment when contacted by the newspaper and that Jewish leaders “have privately acknowledged they risk blowback from the wider community if they appear to be making political attacks against the royal commission after the prime minister yields”.

Can't wait to read @theguardian.com's best albums of the year from 5 to -4!

A screenshot from The Guardian's website, with the heading "No 5 coming soon", followed by the sentence: "Come back tomorrow for the next 10 albums in the countdown!"

Thanks Google AI, my IP address definitely is the IP address of a random Google crawling bot. Great work 👏🏼

Screenshot of an AI Overview section of a Google search page, confidently stating the "Your current public IP address is 66.249.74.34."
It goes on to state some info about what IP addresses are and the difference between public and private IP addresses. It has a widget with the "What Is My IP Address" site, which contains that same googlebot IP address in the excerpt.

Is this a thing?

Zohran banner, but the "for" is a misspelled 4. It reads:
"WON TOO FREE" (newline) "for feif sick".
Yes, it's dumb.

I don't see why she can't still shoot people in the face if she wants to?

News headline saying: "Liz Cheney wanted to follow her father's legacy. Instead, Trump ended her career"

Also need to add that I really cringe at the maleness of these selections! It's reflective of the times, sure, but also of my listening (im)maturity. Looking through the great replies, there's Kate Bush's Sensual World, Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation & others... Here's 4 more, see alt txt as always!
