  Kids and I were talking about gaming engines. Eventually my daughter asked "Will there be a Half-Life 3". My only response was to say "How could you ask me that question? I'm deeply offended". Then storm off muttering things about "you bring them up right, then one day, they ask THAT question" #Gaming

  It's pretty depraved that Anthony "I grew up in public housing" Albanese is throwing $53b - twice what an increase for JobSeeker to 90% of the pension would cost - at the ADF. Literally would rather kowtow to Donald Trump than help his own citizens. "We can't do all the nice things" except when you're told to by the orange Hitler #auspol

  I was walking past the old Italian dude who sweeps the footpath every day a few doors down - I suspect he does it as his exercise and as a form of interaction with people - and there was a bright new piece of graffiti on the tall brick fence next door to his house. I said, as I walked past "is it new? It's good", he said "oh, yes, they came last night, and did it. So quick". We both admired the quality in it. I said "At least no one will tag...

  @peterw oh, dude, I used to follow J. Michael Straczynski on Twitter (when it was good) and he was so upset at what happened to his creation. Not only was more possible (don't get me started), but the locking up of his content was nasty as hell. So glad to see it now available to everyone!

  It's becoming clear that Israel's 12 day war against Iran didn't "weaken Iran", it sent a clear message to Iran and their partners in the region (Hezbollah and the Houthis, mainly). That message was loud and clear: upgrade, arm up, be ready for round 2. Israel, being the dumbest Nazis alive, thought they could just take out the Ayatollah and that'd be that. A month in, and Israel are near breaking point while Iranians are on the street cheerin...

  I see siding with the US is working out. $120b wiped off your stock market, and they're going to be stuck with the bill for the war, too. Who needs enemies when you've got friends like the US: Iran war wipes $120bn off Dubai, Abu Dhabi stock markets https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2026/3/31/iran-war-wipes-120bn-off-dubai-abu-dhabi-stock-markets #USpol #Israel #Iran

  It's kind of funny, western journalists are going on about how "The US are now using B-52's" in Iran. Oh, honey, they've been doing that since day 1. I've been watching them fly out of North Dakota and Louisiana on FlightRadar24 for a month. What's happening is they're having to rely on B-52's (and B-1's and B-2's) more and more as they lose refuelling aircraft. Not sure of the totals, but I know of at le...

  The world has gone quite topsy-turvy. US, Israel, and their proxies in the Persian Gulf are waging a war against Iran, yet somehow they're painted as the victims. This whole "we did nothing" from the various royals around the Gulf is patently false. If you're going to be a proxy for the US, expect to be a target. If you're going to host US troops, expect to be a target. And these threats of retaliation are laughable. The US, and Gulf leaders, castrate...

  Kind of wild that rural types were calling us all "inner city latte sipping lefties" a few weeks ago, but now fuel prices are high, we should all have a heap of sympathy from these same bigoted arseholes. Hard. Pass. #auspol

  It's funny, every time someone asks "What would you do instead of 'No Kings'?" my response is ignored: Form cells of 3-5 people with no outside influence. Start disrupting at the basic level: block toilets in public spaces; make simple tasks take an inordinate amount of time; drive slower; make mistakes at work; only follow the process at work; break down basic systems by being strict to the law. It's not hard. In fact, 99% of the OSS manual...

  What happens when the US still keeps killing citizens at home, and bombing Iran? What does "No Kings" do next? More protests? Until you start burning cities to the ground, they will continue to be Nazis. If you feel burning cities to the ground is not an apt response to your country becoming Nazi, then you might be a Nazi, too #USpol

  I've watched this in parts, but I feel now is as good as time as any to post this. Rare Earth did a complete history of Lebanon (10 000 BC to now).

  The most despicable thing I've seen over the last year is Americans making up theoretical innocents that might be harmed by rising up against their Nazi President, while their country harms actual innocents. It's 1984, spelled out large. Ever wonder how Germany turned Nazi? This, right here #USpol #Israel #Iran
