And good news in Australia (despite the disingenuous headline).

News today: vote has been postponed.

My admin friend told me that all email is now secure and encrypted by default.

Of course you have to trust whoever is hosting your email though. Don’t trust Gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc

#Robodebt will have at least created a generation of citizens who understand the level of government corruption. It was an actual conspiracy.

My favorite Chaser is from their TV show when they dressed as Bin Laden and bypassed security to get near George Bush.

Point taken. I did look it up because I expected half of it to be true.

In Australia we have two satire sites called Betoota Advocate and The Chaser which sometimes are about 80% factual (about conservatives).

This is just an Onion type satire site. He didn’t mention any house-maid. Citing missing out on Sky TV as “hardship” though is still bizarre.

They sing in a higher pitch (more annoying to humans?) to compensate for urban noise.

She could have just denied it was her in the video. It is impossible to prove if someone denies it.

In Australia my friend identified a woman appearing clearly in a TV news bulletin being arrested at an anti-lockdown rally and complaining loudly. In fact it was official supplementary extended footage from the TV station uploaded to youtube: about 20 seconds of just her.

She is denying it was her though and is suing him for defamation. It has cost him over US$100 so far and the hearing day has not even arrived.

I suspect the ranting author failed to appreciate that Bluetooth is probably cheaper to implement for the audio because regular headphones require three wires while power supply only requires two. Ingenious really.

EDIT: Proper wired headphones would also require a soundcard in the dongle.

The guy was having a funny geeky bitch. He was laughing at himself. He doesn’t expect Apple to change anything.

EDIT: I think you are right, that last paragraph of his is weirdly serious. Would have been pure comedy without it.

It isn’t “action” to recognize a borderless state. Or are we talking about recognizing a government? A dictatorial, bigoted, homophobic, sexist, racist government in the form of Hamas.

Supplying weapons at this point I believe to be unethical because the invasion of Rafah is futile except as an excuse for ethnic cleansing. The same kind of cleansing that Hamas have been hell-bent on for decades. I am not in favor of either.

Israel isn’t committing “genocide” though. That is not what the UN called it and for good reason.

lsrael could kill every Palestinian if they wanted to but choose not to.

Hamas wants to kill every Jewish Israeli but cannot.

That is simpleton level of simplicity.

Penny Wong went to the region pushing the 2SS. That is about 15 million yards.

Because I imagine a state needs to be defined physically before it can be recognised. It seems you don’t care enough to track down the statement parliament was asked to sign.

Labor are focused on the hard yards of a 2SS, Greens are trolling with theatre. In fact Greens may not even support a 2SS because it goes against the call of “from the river to the sea”.

You still haven’t told me what the borders of that Palestine are.

Penny Wong has already called for such a two state solution. What was the point of this motion?

I was asking what were Greens proposing? I know many of their constituents chant “from the river to the sea”.

I recall that when Labor first rejected the call for a ceasefire and Greens walked out of Parliament. The document Greens were expecting Labor to sign contained no acknowledgement that the October 7 massacre even happened (let alone condemning it).

A few weeks later the document was amended and Labor signed on.

What are the borders of the proposed Palestinian state?

“From the River to the Sea”?

Misleading title. He did not win the appeal.

He won the opportunity to have an appeal hearing.

It is last week’s news anyhow.
