@kevinroose I am patiently waiting on my application to be approved for the Forkiverse - as a long-time fan of both shows (back to the start of Reply All with @pjvogt.bsky.social) this will be my happy place!

Received my first AI-agent powered spam call today. I shudder at the thought of these things left unchecked. Bring on that very overdue call screen feature Apple!

So the only other option is to go back to Twitter and deal with the cesspit of abuse, racism, homophobia & misogyny?

This is a brilliant evisceration of one of the so-called 'greenest' nations on Earth... although Australia's pathetic non-taxing of the fossil fuel industries probably angers me even more.

Watching closely from Australia as our hare-brained social media ban comes into effect by the end of the year, no doubt with the same level of success.
Populist, simple-minded politics that do nothing but make us ALL less safe. No one is getting my data.

A fireball ripped across western Japan on Tuesday, stunning onlookers. The large, bright meteors are produced when meteoroids enter the Earthโ€™s atmosphere at high speeds and under incredible friction, generating heat and creating a brilliant glow. https://wapo.st/3JoA5l0

It's astounding they are clinging onto this populist, divisive agenda even as the Australian electorate has rejected it so decisively. May they continue their journey into political oblivion....

โ€˜You have unmet needsโ€™: the psychology behind Australiaโ€™s love affair with big cars The promise of adventure, attention, muscle and safety is driving consumers towards large vehicles โ€“ even as they fuel congestion and outstrip the size of car parks

Australiaโ€™s love of an SUVs & utea is insanity - or as explained here a mix of narcissism, a need for adventure and an incorrect assumption of safety.
And itโ€™s all subsidised by taxpayer money while EVs get zero support. Ridiculous

Staggering in its audacity and intention to incite and inflame. The Chief of Staff who green lit this harebrained scheme should be fired immediately. Shameful by the Murdoch press.

Could the UK actually get colder with global warming? Some scientists fear the risk of a collapse to warm Atlantic currents has not been taken seriously.

more than 40 of the worldโ€™s leading ocean and climate scientists are trying to bring attention to the โ€œgreatly underestimatedโ€ issue of changes to Atlantic sea currents from climate change, which could potentially render the UK unlivable

Fabulous hour with @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social and @aoc.bsky.social - the Democrats (and similar here in Australia) need more fresh perspectives like AOC's.

The Brave New Social Media World Zuckerberg has ushered in on FB resulted in me getting this AI generated fake story about King Elon's generous largesse, accompanied by an AI-generated summary of the comments that complain about such AI-generated fake news that function as pro-plutocrat propaganda.

More like wishful thinking. Whatโ€™s left of the Libs is an out of touch, dangerously conservative mob. When will the party modernise itself. A fiscally conservative, socially progressive party would dominate Australian politics.

Oh there was a lot of yelling in my newsrooms in the late 90s and early 00s. Wouldnโ€™t pass today but I remember screaming matches across the COS desk in front of everyone. People storming out (one just never came back) and tears in bathrooms. Canโ€™t say I miss it!

Time for an interest rate rethink? | Stephen Long on the RBA Australians have been punished with high interest rates, the wrong tool for inflation driven largely by excess corporate profits. As Stephen Long explains. w...

The RBA has got it wrong, punishing workers with persistently high rates as the economy flails.

"Profits have been driving inflation. Companies have fattened their margins, and if your only response is to target workers, you're punishing the victims," explains Stephen Long.

Meanwhile they ignore the hateful, racist, misogynistic bile that led to millions of people fleeing here in the first place.

Yep - when I was a journalist at ABC Radio News in Australia it was one of the summer jobs when things were quiet. Update them for The Queen, prominent Australians and people of note worldwide.
