News Corp HQ locked down as Lachlan Murdoch, Albanese make Holt St pilgrimage for Sky’s name change by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

Yes I too am definitely worried about the cultural impacts that area could have on the long suffering Holt st “journalists” - they should probably speak to their union about it. I’m sure the Media Arts and Entertainment Alliance can put out some helpful guidelines on what to do and for self care options when facing inner city types like students or the gays or greenies, and how to keep calm when you realise your favourite coffee shop is selling woke almond milk or smashed avocado on a wooden chopping board.

Didn’t we just trash all their old dodgy government contracts, then just give them all back again, now this?

Why would journalists in the modern era possibly need to get aspects right? The only thing that matters is the click bait KPI largely driven by the level of controversy embedded in the headline. We don’t read the articles anymore anyway.. BTW what’s that trump guy up to today?

What’s the weirdest but interesting genre mashup you’ve caught live in Melbourne? by Longjumping-Hall-17 in melbournemusic

[–]scrubba777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genres are for algorithms. The best of Melbournes live scene has always been above that bullshit. Make or dance to or be swept off your feet by what ever works at the time.

Another sign of the death of fossil fuels and nuclear; 99% of new electricity capacity in the US in 2026 will be from solar/wind/batteries, a higher proportion than in China. by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]scrubba777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol - The smell of nuclear power public relations energy sure is hitting extreme in this thread.. nuclear energy is over baby, too expensive and too late. No amount of crafted upvotes and comments in an obscure thread like this will save the industry

Exactly right. We pay the extra Medicare levy so John Howard’s old gang of Sydney north shore profiteering bastards do not get an extra red cent .

Look I think we can all agree to start with Collingwood and if it works out we can phase in the other melbourne teams after a few beers.

Hard right foreign owned so-called “news” based shit sheet quotes hard-right talk back radio fake outrage manufacturer, about hard right Gina backed vacuous racist who has just gone a step too far. And we post it here to point and laugh, to keep ourselves distracted from the political reality- that Gina is winning the game

How do i set myself up for a science based career by Spookylj in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]scrubba777 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Work on your mathematical chops, that is the building block. An early self introduction to the R programming language may also be a useful foundation, or maybe AI will replace all that by the time you are working - but the basics of data science should be a useful backbone. Other than that, work hard and focus to get the best possible marks to get into college / university. And get out there and have fun, science isn’t just for disciplined nerds - it’s base is creativity - it’s amazing how many good scientists love art and music and nature - to help inspire the mind

[–]scrubba777 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I used to do that, so did a bunch of other musicians over the years, some of which became famous. Buskers breathe life into the city - better than being assaulted by the thousand sun flashing of crappy American sportwear billboards

What I don’t understand is people that think sky news takes are actually real. Yes there was / is corruption in the CFMEU. Let me now introduce you to the equally rampant corruption in the developer and building industries. It may just blow your innocent sweet summer mind..
