Australia’s social media ban for youth under 16 is a bit like alcohol prohibition; it’s not going to stop the use, it’ll just send it underground amplifying the dangers.

@thiscassgirl Can relate. The Mrs legit ran into a door and didn't realise the implications of saying that so kept telling people. The looks I got...

No matter your thoughts on @andrewprobyn (I think he is an excellent journalist and news breaker and a wonderful mentor to many) the ABC deciding it doesn't need a political editor in Canberra is madness.

In hindsight it was not good for my mental health at all. I'm very grateful that I moved on to another job before the plebiscite because I think that would've really messed me up.

It's disheartening to see how worse things have gotten since I was a content moderator for Q&A in 2016. Loved the job, loved, loved the team, hated logging on every morning to see what vitriol had been posted overnight.

I decided to share my experience as the social media producer for @QandA

After Stan’s departure, I’ve seen a lot of finger-pointing by individuals and media organisations. I wrote this article as a reminder of how we could all be complicit.

For 89 years, Barry Humphries entertained us through a galaxy of personas, from Dame Edna to Sandy Stone.

But the brightest star in that galaxy was always Barry.

A great wit, satirist, writer and an absolute one-of-kind, he was both gifted and a gift.

May he rest in peace.

Imagine making such a bad first impression that your tribe still insists on voting you out even after they've learnt they might already be down two tribe members. #SurvivorAU

@stephharmon @katiecunning My wife is hearing impaired and can't follow dialogue when there's cross-chatter, background music etc. so we always have them on for her - but I love them too because you never realise how much is lost in poor sound mixing until you have them on.

SHOCK! New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is tapping out from politics. Will leave the job in the next month.

"I know what this job takes. And I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice."

She has also called an election for October 14

Word inside Twitter is that A LOT of employees are not saying “yes” to staying at Musk’s “extremely hardcore Twitter 2.0.” He has been meeting today with engineers to convince them to stay. His deadline to decide to stay or leave expired 6 min ago. https://t.co/IErjQTMRE6

!!! “I know of six critical systems (like ‘serving tweets’ levels of critical) which no longer have any engineers," "There is no longer even a skeleton crew manning the system. It will continue to coast until it runs into something, and then it will stop.”
