you'd have to be extremely stupid to think that Microsoft, the biggest software company in the entire world, a company that has a line of premium laptops but makes their MONEY on Everyone Else Running Their Software, is somehow giving up. Microsoft, a company that just spent $69b

I just keep coming back to this: The @AlboMP gov has taken stronger action against a UN aid agency & the alleged actions of 12 staff than it has against the Netanyahu gov in the wake of the world's highest court ruling that a genocide case against Israel is 'plausible.' Shame.
Stunned @SenatorWong is choosing to pause increased funding to the UN aid agency @UNRWA in #Gaza at a time when Gazans are starving & without shelter. And why did she choose to tweet this today but nothing re the landmark ICJ ruling re Israel & genocide? Deeply disappointing.

This year's Global Game Jam was super productive, @Trevhscott and I are very happy with our resulting game: Emotional Damage. It's a VR escape room with a short narrative. quixotic-snake.itch.io/emoti… More polish coming before the #melbggj play party in April!

It’s not just that the ALP is spineless, it’s that they’re stupid as well.

Labor is trying to end public housing in Victoria. It’s a disgrace. Vic Labor has the biggest privatisation agenda since Jeff Kennett. Today I was proud to join some of my community at the Collingwood flats to stand up and fight back.

In 2018, I filed the first defamation lawsuits against Alex Jones, ultimately discrediting him in court. Today, I am proud to announce I have filed suit against yet another notorious disseminator of false information: The owner of this platform, Elon Musk.

It’s official - we’ll be voting in the referendum on recognition of First Nations People and the Voice to Parliament on 14 October. The Greens are proud to support the campaign for Yes. Yes for listening, yes for self-determination, and yes for justice.

Wait you mean to tell me that it's possible to coordinate things through National Cabinet??!?
Albo on a Rent Freeze: Can't touch it. That's a state matter. You want to abolish the federation? Albo on public holidays: I will force the states to yield. The Premiers will fold like tents. If they fail to succumb to my iron will, I will personally destroy each and every one
