Didn’t look closely at it, but i’m pretty sure we received a Nationals and then a Liberal one of these today. Might pull them out of the bin and have a closer look.

No Labor one though, just a flyer. Or should i say yet?

Got home today ready to relax, only for my partner to ask if i’d forgotten to get the groceries. Damn! Back out i went. At least i got to take the kiddo, so there was company on the drive. :)

[email protected] is obviously a linguistic pioneer crashing through the social and punctuational norms of our time.

We should fear them, and gaze in amazement at [email protected]’s audacity to shove aside such petty nuances as… sentences!

I suppose i shouldn’t be surprised, plenty of sports don’t get much attention, but i had no idea Judo was a thing in Perth.

Hope your coach did well!

Okay, AZ is submitted.

Any late ballots we’ll include if an extension is called. But we’ll defer to any announcements from you on that subject.

Cheers! :)

I think we should get the winning nomination posted. I’ll put a caveat, referring to @[email protected] 's comment. But i think for all intents and purposes we should treat this as the winning result.

Woah! @[email protected] that is so detailed! 😂

I reckon, yhanks to your work here, Aussie Zone must win the competition for most detailed competition for an Instance’s nomination!

I rind it interesting how many rounds with no movement there were in the end.

I think we’ve hit on a really great and original song for the winner though. I’d never heard of Gurridyula before this. And i bet with a name like “From the River to the Sea” there hasn’t been much radio airtime for it. But the lyrics alone are really fuckin Good!

I don’t thinks its San Cisco’s best either, but its pretty good.

But its so interesting, i showed a german coworker the song, and she really liked it, so i played more of San Cisco’s well known songs, and she actually went back to ‘Under the Light’ as her favourite.

Cheers mate!

I don’t really get from the article whether its just Queensland thats the lagard, and now they’re also on the gonski reform path but will be behind everyone else, or whether the other jurisdictions had to wait for Queensland, and now gonski can be implemented in all States at the same time?

Haha, at this stage i think we’d better go for non-compupsory preferential voting.

So yeah, vote for as few as you like. ;)

Meanwhile on RN, David Marr is interviewing Omar el Akkard detailing the horrifying actions against Palestinians by the IDF, with the West’s support.

The mild description of the IDF shooting the childs car moments after speaking with them, i found grotesque.

Late Night Live - Reckoning with the West, Omar el Akkard (abclisten)

Instead we silence and punish the most meager acts of support for Palestinians.

One day we will be forced to reckon with our complicity and support of the crimes being committed. We don’t walk away from these lost innocents clean.

Ha! The discoursive whiplash would be immense.

But i have the impression the people over at beehaw don’t wish to interact in such an open way as many other instances do.

So the decision to disengage should be treated as equally as important as those wishing to interact?

Responded to ferk, but i’s trying to consider your comment as well.

Okay, i think i’ve understood what you’re saying here. I’m not sure it works with the example for Beehaw.

I think i get what you’re saying. Especially if i consider a large instance like LW’s point of view. A large/general instance where large numbers of disparately opinioned users have gathered, freedom of association must necessarily be more individual to the user themselves than the instance as any kind of individualised entity.

Remembering the comments around the beehaw defederation, this was a case where a group of like minded people on their instance acted as a group to disassociate from the wider basket of instances. Their instance has an individual identity they wished to protect.

I feel like the discussion assumes an individual users wish for seemless interactions is more important than the wish of other users to have the choice of non-interaction. I think the assumption should be they are equally as important?

I prefer the recommendation algorithm led by my fellow up/down voters. Anything else, i know of, which is not much, runs too great a risk of undetectable pernicious influence.

I’m pretty sure that was Beehaw’s decision to disengage. But thats freedom of association for ya.
