    Final listen for tonight - Brisbane band &quot;The Worm Turns&quot; &#39;s first album I love their song construction, lashings of folk(alt) and topped with powerful guitar, bass, and drums. Made to play LOUD. #BandcampFriday #TheWormTurns https://thewormturnsband.bandcamp.com/album/the-unbreakable-bond

    I remember at the time that I was puzzled with John Howard&#39;s high rotation deploymens of the SAS early on in Afghanistan. Is there a link between that, and the subsequent issues being uncovered? #SAS #auspol

    @jpm@aus.social Ah yes. Two of ours have nearly finished. They still look less than their &quot;fluffybum&quot; best.

    @zoy@merveilles.town The most ridiculous outcome of this whole AI-crafted slop, is that no human in a corporate setting will read email. AI excretes an email then, and is summarised by the receving AI and replied to by AI and decisions will be acted upon by AI and ..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

    The majority of the world&amp;#39;s response to the crisis in the Straits of Hormuz is to double down on renewable infrastructure plans. Our home-grown fossil-fuel funded muppets have a plan to double down on all things oil. https://statements.qld.gov.au/statements/105012 #qldpol #lnp #renewables

    @obrien_kat I am shocked. Like bookmakers, Polymarket would turn a pretty penny by managing the risks in their favour. Bookmakers would have more customers as &quot;winners&quot;, but in the long run the majority of the cash flows one way.

    &amp;lt;rant&amp;gt; Filling in a 20 page Services Australia Form by hand. Good times. Applying for my wife&amp;#39;s pension. This is the last resort after having a meltdown over it last year and the application lapsing. I tried five different ways to fill this in on my computer.

    I was just told about an AI job running for 24 hours (Google&amp;#39;s Jules). It reported all tests passed successfully and was asking to finish.

Mendacious Weasel or Eager Intern? #AI

    Leadership by corporate media worked a treat for John Howard. Labor are fools to follow their polemic. @amyremeikis.bsky.social nails it &amp;quot;Anthony Albanese ruling out a tax on gas companies, with a narrative adopted by the incurious that it is “not the right time” because of the “global sensitivities” is not good policy or even a smart one.&amp;quot; https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politics/australian-politics/2026/04/25/albanese-labor-gas-tax-safe

    @phooky Let&#39;s all match sideways together, with Dr Zoidberg as our mascot. Though we would have to give him a title like &quot;President&quot; to get him to be our mascot. There is precedence.

    @lowqualityfacts When I was still living at home, I painted my bedroom walls [sunburnt] orange. My rug and bean bag were lime green, so I did not reach this photo&#39;s level of awesome.
