Turns out putting unqualified white supremacists in charge of literally everything was a really fucking bad idea.

Sure are. Hi, Palantir.
Is anyone looking at the computing shambles of the systems failures at Microsoft today and reflecting on our sovereign safety. It's a good model of what theoretically could happen.

Letting soulless, greed driven billionaire techbro’s & AI have control of everything, is going spectacularly well.

Is there anything in the Australian constitution which gives us recourse against a senator who is clearly mentally unwell?
Yes, dear. Of course, dear. Bless. @senatorbabet

Every time I see a Kookaburra, I can’t help but think of when Steve Irwin broke up a fight between two of them,

Israel just murdered a doctor featured in the film about Israel murdering doctors
My colleague and friend Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira was killed yesterday at work when Israel, backed by the US as always, bombed the surgical recovery room at Nasser Medical Complex. Two of his colleagues were badly injured, and many patients were hurt and killed. Dr. Rizk is featured on the original poster for the documentary American Doctor, standing to my right as we did a redo laparotomy on a disaster abdomen. Dr. Rizk was one of those surgeons we describe as "super enthusiastic". On rounds he would jump at the opportunity to change a dressing, clean a wound, or pull a drain. He always had an answer to any question anyone asked. He embodied the surgical wisdom that "a chance to cut is a chance to cure." Dr. Rizk's shocking murder is yet another reminder of why we must get control of our country. Our government has no right to force us to subsidize the mass murder of doctors and children, not in Palestine and not anywhere.

Police concluded there was "insufficient evidence". That is not 'cleared' as is yelled here 🙄
#BREAKING Sydney Swans players Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, James Jordon and new North Melbourne recruit Nick Blakey have been CLEARED by Victoria Police over the incident at the Pullman Hotel in August. They will not be facing criminal charges. @9NewsMelb

Then why are men so afraid of prison specifically because of the threat of rape? At worst, it's uncomfortable, right?

A provider just told me that if the disallowance motion doesn't get up, his business is looking at 5m of losses, certain closure and scores of job losses. The reason Labor is doing this? Not for the money, but to impact the disability market and force closures of anything but a few providers so that they can block fund them. Reliably informed by insiders that this is nothing to do with the overall cuts - that is why it is separate. This is shameful behaviour on Labor's part. Contact your Senator and tell them to vote for the NDIS social and participation and capacity building cut disallowance motion, and let disabled people out of an eternal lockdown to join the community again. We have the right to work, play, seek medical attention and be part of the rest of Australia. #auspol

Right now, in Adelaide, trees are being chopped down in our park lands to make way for a motorsport track. For those unaware, the city centre of Adelaide is encircled by a wide green belt. The city's crowning glory. Pointless destruction of our precious tree canopy. #stopthechop

A second child has frozen to death in Gaza and the media is staying silent about it. The people of Gaza have the right to aid even under occupation—it is an obligation under international law.

הגיע הזמן שהמדינה שלנו תפסיק להפציץ בתי חולים בעזה. 6 הרוגים הלילה בבית החולים נאסר בחאן יונס. אין איך להצדיק את זה. אסור להמשיך בזה.

UPDATE: Microsoft says they cannot fix the Outlook outage because engineers are getting too many Authenticator prompts.

I wonder if the Microsoft Outlook engineers are stuck in their own vicious cycle of Authenticator prompts?
