Dated cartoon perhaps?

Nowadays kids can probably teach parents about sex but the parents need to teach kids about scams (or privacy protection at least).

No need for glasses. Just make sure the face paint is done dazzle style.

I haven’t seen any reposts of anything in this group. Mods do a stellar job.

Classy delivery with the punch line. Bravo!

Now do Aphex Twin. No need to convert his music into numerical data either - am sure he would supply it if asked nicely.

Indeed, the concept is the art and the cartoonist is a top artist.

You may be following the negotiations more closely than me so I am not sure how useful my opinion is. In fact I only just looked it up.

AFAIK there is no bombing now so the terms of the proposed ceasefire are important.

a Hamas official in Beirut, Osama Hamdan, also reiterated that any deal short of a permanent ceasefire was likely to be rejected.

Dunno if a permanent one is a good idea. Would be good to eliminate Hamas but I don’t even know if that is realistic. Would be even better to eliminate Bibi.

I do know that The Greens (whom I have always supported until this incident) walked out when Labor refused to sign the initial call for a cease-fire. Labor later explained that the document didn’t even mention October 7 so I feel they were right to not sign that time.

Presumably the document was amended soon after because Labor did then sign it about a week later. Do you recall the details?

Yes. Although “From the River to the Sea” I would argue is anti-Semitic and they sure are using that, in fact the Left wing have also taken this on.

The same day of the Oct 7 Massacre I went to a music gig at a venue in Camperdown where the host expressed solidarity with Palestine but didn’t utter a word of sorrow or regret for the slaughter by Hamas.

Indeed you can see/hear for yourself that the video did switch video scenes while maintaining audio continuity.

If they were different angles of the same incident then it is legitimate documentary style editing but I certainly would not have done it that way if I was AJA and after reading your comment I acknowledge that they deserve criticism for it.

I didn’t realize there was a follow-up Crikey article today. Thanks. And surprised that Lattof took on the criticism thrown her way on Twitter yesterday.

In fact I cancelled my Crikey subscription because of the article they wrote in December but am impressed with this new article and may resubscribe.

While it is commendable that these organisers toned down subsequent rallies, I don’t recall even a few bad apples amongst the Sydney Jewish community ever publicly celebrating the slaughter of Palestinians.

Fair enough, this may not be deliberately misleading. But the article does unfortunately leave out the police statement verifying the video (sans captions) is undoctored.

By not being specific, it gives the wrong impression that the video was doctored. Indeed that is what Antoinette Lattouf is implying this week.

Steady on. No need to get dramatic and accuse me of stuff.

If nobody said anything racist then that would be further from the truth.

The guy misspoke implying nothing could be further from the truth.

“There has been a smear campaign against Palestinians… by smearing us as anti-Semites or as people who are celebrating terror and that could not be further from the truth.”

And yet the same guy says:

“I did, at the time, point out there were anti-Semitic phrases that I heard”

I don’t think he understands the phrase “that could not be further from the truth.”

Barrister Mahmud Hawila, who has previously represented the protest organisers, said police told them they had doubts about the video’s veracity within days of the protest.

Misleading reporting. The police statement this week specifically says it wasn’t doctored.

While you make valid philosophical points they do not invalidate the study or its findings because it is irrelevant to those findings.

Firstly the “happiness” measures include objective factors like incarceration, teenage pregnancy, heart disease.

Secondly, I only mentioned OECD because the data happens to be for OECD countries and therefore cannot be generalized to other countries unless another study is conducted to include them. It is not a stance on the pros/cons of the OECD as you seem to think.

I repeat: the study shows that increasing the GDP does not increase happiness. It has implications for government policy.

Please have a look. It is a peer reviewed data driven study not a random tik-tokker giving their hot take.

A study has undermined the greed angle.

Turns out that (amongst OECD countries) GDP per capita is not correlated with indicators of happiness at all. What is correlated is the degree of income equality…

and here is the great part…

Even for rich people. They too have better lives where there is more equitable income distribution. One day they will hopefully realise.

So the police experts were to be trusted that the chant was “Where’s the Jews?” (absurdly, mind you) rather than “Gas the Jews” and yet…

…and yet we cannot trust them when they explicitly say that there was no doctoring?

Is that what you are suggesting? Where is this expert you heard?

Every geek I knew in the early 90’s was naively evangelizing about the internet ushering in a new age of enlightenment.

I was too, I admit. Am now optimistic about the benefits of a UBI but, with the above humbling experience, guardedly so — the unintended consequences might be impossible to predict.

How much of that do script blockers protect you from?
