- Comment on Chris Minns Slammed In Parliament Over His ‘Biological Differences’ Comments 1 day ago:
She’s a person whose thoughts have shifted on this particular topic over time and its an interesting and very public pathway she’s trodden with lessons.
As to why you might care. You were given a chance to gain more understanding about this world we share. Its up to you whether you take it.

In this two part podcast they go through JK Rowlings Transformation on the trans ‘issue’. Through it I found a better understanding of trans exclusion, and it was also interesting to consider the effect social media might have had on JK Rowling.
I don’t feel at all qualified to reject or accept anybodies arguments on this topic, but I know a culture war pile on when I see one. And the Murdoch bottom feeders love this one, so I’m naturally suspicious of trans-exclusion due to that context.
The best antidote to the Murdoch shitrags is understanding topics more clearly. The podcast definitely did some of that for me, you might find it useful.

I hate to say it, but I gotta pay The Australian front page, not for content, but design-wise.
- Quite a witty cartoon lampooning the Treasurer
- Theres a decent number of words on the frontpage, like a proper amount. Each section probably leads in to an article of dubious merit, but its more than the bloviating headlines of the rest.

- Comment on Budget 2026 Australia: Jim Chalmers goes for broke in federal budget facing twin threats of housing pain and Iran war disaster 2 weeks ago:
Bit of a mixed bag. I’m glad negative gearing and capital gains are finally allowed to be touched. Unfortunately the decades of damage is done, yet plenty of people still think absurdly high asset prices, especially in housing, can only be a good thing for a nation.
- Comment on ABC radio kills third party internet radio streams and embedded links. 2 weeks ago:
Theres a place for trying ro understand consumer lukes and dislikes. But a national broadcaster has a wider duty to deliver the information the nation needs to here without fear or bias. Note, I am not saying the ABC today meets that duty.
Listening too much to the preferences of the listeners introduces a bias and a circular logic to deliver more of the popular shows with those listeners because otherwise why have the data analysis if you don’t act on it. Same can be said of trying to attract non-listeners. Sometimes less is more.
People don’t often want to be challenged, but its often what they need to hear to temper their own beliefs of their correctness. Thats a key public service that is necessarily affected by reacting your audience/non-audience too well. Its like fact-checking, no one wants it, but it works.
- Comment on UK Labour suffers historic local election wipeout as Reform surges 2 weeks ago:
I feel like things rhyme, they don’t repeat is appropriate here.
For example,
“Stop the Boats” was a slogan here long before it hit Britain. But its really not a thing anymore, and a large policy shift would be required from Labor or the Greens to see a path for that to have a resurgence.
Thats one example, but a lot of the drivers right wing populists have in other countries to play on are less common, or have been dealt with to varying degrees here.
So i really don’t support this idea that we’re politically behind the US or Europe. It doesn’t make sense to me as a framework to think about One Nation’s risen popularity.
- Comment on Tax breaks, super changes to kick in on 1 July as Chalmers flags more to come in budget 3 weeks ago:
With all these little announcables its starting to look like the typical budget, in that by the time budget day comes round there won’t really be any major announcements left. Leading ro budget day being a bit of a flat affair. Not sure its ‘bad’ politics per se, but it is boring politics. Boring can be good.

I don’t have the cash to be upgrading my phone very often, although funds are probably going to have to shifted around soon for it. I haven’t looked at Graphene OS, everybody talks about it like it is what Google android was meant to be.
Can it be installed on any handset? I ask because I’ve seen a lot of comments connecting it to the google pixel. Is that the only handset its compatible with?
- Comment on Google age verification 5 weeks ago:
Yeah sorry, its Jerboa. I’ve got sync as well, and yet I still forget dessalines and nutomic aren’t the only app developers. Never mind me! 🤦
Thats cool about the mobile site. Never considered using that till now. Might give it a try.
- Comment on Google age verification 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, i think my imagination just got a bit ahead of the issue this morning. I’m laying the blame on the screamin kids in the kitchen :p
I think almacca@aussie.zone reset my expectations for what this could mean pretty quick. Maybe it wasn’t worth the post.
Might hinder fediverse growth if lemmy app developers en masse don’t agree tobthe new terms though. But i suppose thats about it.
- Comment on Google age verification 5 weeks ago:
Well i suppose another option would be to log in via the phones browser.
I imagine most people accessing lemmy are using an app for the convenience. Is it likely other app developers will be happy to comply with these rules?
Kinda hope i don’t have to give up Jerboa, its a good app.

- Comment on Bombs, rain and destruction: Life in Gaza six months into a ceasefire 1 month ago:
Stop drawing this false equivalence of these two genocides. Two horrible things can happen at the same time in this world. Its really embarrassing, for you, that the only time you bring up the Sudan war crimes is to downplay the crimes being committed by Israel against Palestinians.
Whether thats because you have this obsession against Muslims, #notallpalestiniansaremuslims, or you have an unhealthy obsession for Israel, or both, or something else, its beyond disingenuous to keep drawing this false equivalence.
If you actually cared about the Sudanese people being trampled under that civil war, you would be posting about that alongside my posts about the Palestinians and we’d be upvoting and supporting each others dismay at these horrible acts being committed.
Instead you’re using a genocide of one people, to cover for the genocide of another. IKT please take some time to reflect on the logical inadequacy of the conflicting positions your holding. The deaths and trauma of both these populations are important and need more coverage.

- Comment on Coalition's migration plan panned as 'Trumpian', likened to 'White Australia' era 1 month ago:
Its not a matter of memory. Their voters don’t even know the immigration policies of the last quarter century. It makes trying to talk to this voting segment so hard, because they’re making their minds up based off half the known facts.
But they don’t know, they don’t know, and its so exhausting having to establish the same set of facts before you can even have a worthwhile discussion on something like immigration policy.
Then theres those disingenuous people, (or they’re that propagandised? I don’t know), that don’t recall the facts each time the subject comes up subsequently, and have reverted to their original set of statements. They’re exhausting people with less fruitful or interesting discourse to be had.

But you don’t understand Phil from bloody accounting’s footy training oval has a gravel carpark, so he needs a big car. /s
Riding into Welshpool was sometimes pure fear. Few to no paths, sharing roads with trucks and road trains. Got to within a foot of one once, rode side by side, wasn’t my smartest moment on a bike.
- Comment on Live: PM to address nation tonight on response to Middle East war 1 month ago:
I used to ride along there when I lived in Maylands riding across to Welshpool. Its nice down by the river. I’s never fit enough to do it everyday though. Got to twice a week on the regular until I moved. I miss that ride.
