This has mysteriously appeared in our offices. There’s nothing we do that would have to do with them at all. Should I be checking it for bugs?

The rest of the instructions don’t make much sense after I discarded the ham.

Instructions to cook a ham, with the 2nd instruction being:

2. Remove boneless ham from plastic bag and discard.

Pretty sure the Granuad meant Jay Vine, not that UK broadcaster Jeremy, after he stopped making cycling videos went into training and changed nationalities to come second in the world TT championships. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s... From

Pogacar, celebrating his 27th birthday, had set out to do the time trial and road race double but the Slovenian finished fourth. The Australian Jeremy Vine came second in 51:00.83 with Belgium's Ilan de Wilder in third.

Far too many of them don’t think of journalists in Gaza as “one of their own” though.

The classic Peter Griffin Colour chart meme.

A policeman holds a card up in front of Peter Griffin, who is sitting in the drivers seat in his car, after being pulled over.

The card has 6 skin colours on the right.

Next to the first three is is labelled “journalist” where the skin colour ranges from pasty white to pink.

The next three colours range from brown to black, and are labelled “not a journalist”

I love how people from the US, even when they appear to live in other countries, are unable to conceive of the ‘general public’ as anything other than white people in the US. No one else counts.

do you ever stare at the ceiling and think about how the worldwide scientific establishment did the impossible and created a COVID vaccine in under a year and the response of the general public has been to go on an unstoppable rampage to destroy science and scientists

I’ve been using the Tour Tracking app this season and in terms of the data functionality we used to get from the SBS app it’s as good or better, and you can use its Time Machine feature to sync it up if you are watching a replay later on. It has a free trial period as well.

Discord is clearly an Age Restricted Social Media Platform under the law as it is currently written. It is affected. The Minister has the ability to create rules to exclude platforms like Discord, but until they do so it is automatically included. parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/dow...

63C Age-restricted social media platform
(1) For the purposes of this Act, age-restricted social media platform means:
(a) an electronic service that satisfies the following conditions:
i) the sole purpose, or a significant purpose, of the service is to enable online social interaction between 2 or more end-users;
(ii) the service allows end-users to link to, or interact with,
some or all of the other end-users;
(ii) the service allows end-users to post material on the
service;
(iv) such other conditions (if any) as are set out in the
legislative rules; or
(b) an electronic service specified in the legislative rules; but does not include a service mentioned in subsection (6).
Note 1:
Online social interaction does not include (for example) online business interaction.
Note 2:
An age-restricted social media platform may be, but is not necessarily, a social media service under section 13.
Note 3:
For specification by class, see subsection 13(3) of the Legislation Act 2003.

The University of Melbourne is utterly shameless. What a disgrace.

The media release also proudly announced,
"The Mabo Centre welcomes Rio Tinto as its founding partner." The irony is astounding, especially when the very next sentence boasts that "The Mabo Centre will undertake research
to identify best practices." Best practices for what? Corporate partnerships that blakwash the legacy of land theft?

The release also stated that "the centre was conceived after long consultation," yet the Centre ignored Zenadth Kes cultural protocols during the long consultation. My father, Eddie Mabo Jr.—the eldest son of Eddie Koiki Mabo and the most senior Mabo family member-
didn't even know the Mabo Centre existed until I asked him about it after its launch.

This centre seems far removed from the radical Blak activism that defined my grandfather's legacy. Instead, it looks like more of the same— where so-called experts profit off Native Title while the people it was meant to empower are left behind.

If I’m serious for a second, perhaps people could think about the stress placed on service people who fear they may be purged because of their gender, or colour of their skin, with SCOTUS cheering it on, when wondering why planes are falling off US carriers. slate.com/news-and-pol...

So why did the Supreme Court let it take effect anyway? The most generous answer is that the conservative justices demand sweeping deference to the commander in chief, even when he acts out of undisguised bigotry. Perhaps their vision of a unitary executive includes a president who can discharge entire classes of minorities from the military—a view that would also authorize the return of racial
segregation in the armed forces. (Hegseth has gone out of his way to purge racial diversity from the military's top ranks.) These justices may also believe that the Constitution does not protect transgender people against sex-based discrimination, a position they previewed in recent arguments over bans on gender-affirming care.

Ahh found it. It was this excellent @frankbongiorno.bsky.social article. insidestory.org.au/are-the-libe...

The standard issue facial expression is the sneer, the verbal reflex the sledge. And not just the sneering at and sledging of the political opponents you are actually fighting. Early in his campaign, Dutton was talking about how he could coerce those involved in woke "indoctrination" of
students in schools. He insulted and threatened hard-working teachers and school communities in the interests of
prosecuting US inspired cultural wars.
Later in the campaign, he disavowed any intention of interfering in the national curriculum.

Above all, the Liberals would do well to lose the sneer. They should not sneer at teachers and public servants. They should
not sneer at government schools and universities. They should not give the impression that they believe young people are irredeemably "woke" and that women remain second-class workers and citizens.
They should not sneer at the unemployed: they might rather consider how they might outflank Labor on support for JobSeeker. They should not sneer about the deficits of First Nations communities: they should celebrate their achievements and support their aspirations.
