  • Looks like it does do the thing Adobe claimed it wouldn't after all.

    Still poor form from Nine for using it in the first place, and for not catching it in the editorial process. But seems this is just another reminder this week of the biases of generative models.

  • Unfortunately of late it’s been used as a platform to launder the transphobia of both Barry and producers.

  • Respect to the investigations team for running this.

    ABC hires 'notoriously anti-worker' US law firm, Seyfarth Shaw, in Antoinette Lattouf unlawful dismissal case

  • Housing costs, rental or purchase, are only resolved by supply and ending real estate's position as an investment vehicle.

    That means large scale public housing investment to the point that it actively devalues property on a capital value bases. Rental yields are already a poor investment on their own. That leaves the "just park the money" crowd with a simple choice: sell now or watch it depreciate.

  • Ask any former employee about just how much those comments were not out of context.

    Horman’s been awful for years. She just decided to be publicly awful this time.

  • Good. The behaviour of the state government towards the residents of public housing in Victoria has been nothing short of abusive.

  • The Stage 3 tax cuts are so unaffordable in the long term that they are effectively the death knell of what was once Labor’s traditional objectives.

    They need scrapping, not expanding.

  • While we continue to provide arms, manpower, and any modicum of diplomatic legitimacy to war criminals engaged in at least one of three of the most dire crimes against humanity, these protests remain relevant to our country and governments.

  • The use of the word targeted raises an eyebrow. I wonder if it’s actually meant as the AAP are implying. It doesn’t appear to be a word CSV have used.

  • The Visit Report is up in full here

  • It would be wise to consider this a threat.

  • Something we're seeing in the closeness between those individuals and organisations vocally supporting said ethnonationalism and white supremacists. Be that Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL and Musk in the US, or Avi Yemini and our various white supremacist and neo-nazi organisations right here in Melbourne.

    "Ethnonationalist international" is quite the global phenomena at the moment. Up until they share a border anyway.

  • The senior officer – who can only be referred to as AB for 40 years due to a court order – was charged with high-range drink-driving before police announced the incident in November. His employment status is under review.

    Well chosen court ordered pseudonym because "a bastard" really doesn't narrow it down.

  • Bombing civilians is not a trait of Jewish people. Using access to humanitarian aid and water as a weapon of war is not a trait of Jewish people. Destroying the healthcare systems supporting 2 million people is not a trait of Jewish people.

    The US has a major party that is stuffed to the gills with Ur-fascists, Christian nationalists and white supremacists. Do you really think there’s no understanding from those elements of the Republican Party of what’s being done in attempting to cast opposition to the crimes of the Israeli government as opposition to Jewish people in general?

  • Considering the US far right’s evident interest in insurrection it’s almost a little surprising this wasn’t the lead case. The more non-white military officers the more difficult it would be for US fascists to put together an openly white supremacist coup.
