@John We cross now live to Labor Headquarters where celebrations, wining & dining is taking place (this time without Herzog) -
'Santos' Malinauskas's victory speech: "I'd like to thank Santos for bankrolling my campaign & sabotaging the competition (thanks Rob), the Saudi's I made deals with after ripping up the parklands to make a golf course for them, and the Algal Bloom researcher who **voluntarily** (wink wink) resigned so as not to reach a verdict proving it was Santos-caused before the election,.. now it's off to ban some more Palestinian authors, set up a toxic radioactive waste dump at Osborne for the failed AUKUS outdated-subs project & a round of golf with the saudi's,.. oh, I forgot my election promise again? What election promise?.. lol, reminds me, I might use up an ambulance to get me to the golf course quicker... oh that's right they're all ramped! 🤣🤣🤣 cheers, cya suckers! Bahahahaha 🤣🤣😆🤣🥂"
Well done SA Sheeple, suckers indeed.

Blackpool – Kicking the Poorest People into the Gutter
Improving the lives of people "entrenched in poverty" would be praiseworthy if this project did that but gentrification removes poverty from an area by forceable displacement of the current poverty stricken residents. The council fails to clarify how the lives of the evicted are being improved. Hundreds of families in one of England’s poorest neighbourhoods will be evicted under a £90m plan described by critics as a “mass dispersion” of vulnerable people. 400 homes in Blackpool will […]https://activitypub.writeworks.uk/2026/01/blackpool-kicking-the-poorest-people-into-the-gutter/

Good morning tooting friends. Up just before 6am & outside to give the garden a good soaking, moved a couple of pots to where I hope they’ll be better protected from the 40c 🥵 forecast for today. It’s going to be unpleasant to say the least.
Heading off for a swim shortly & also need to ring the optometrist, eyelashes again & will be visiting a friend for a short while this afternoon. We’ve been trying to catch up for a while but other commitments keep getting in the way. So this will be nice just before Christmas.
I woke with a headache today, my own fault. I did a dumb thing last night after finding myself getting upset & angry with the pointing fingers & blame game from the opposition stoking more hate, more fear, anger & division & doing absolutely nothing to help resolve things. So I poured myself a whisky & dry, all I had in the house - mistake as I know it always hits me, always gives me a headache. The swim will do me good, clear my head.
Goals for today - try to remain calm, avoid the news & enjoy what I do.
Hope you all have a good #Thursday, take care out there & keep cool 🌻. #Weather #Exercise #Friends #BadDecisions -

A Really Well Insulated Attic
Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance
A Really Well Insulated Attic
By Joyce Vance, Sep 04, 2025
“If the entire foundation falls out from under your house, it does no good to have a really well-insulated attic,” the judge said. “It sure would be nice if someone had our backs.” An anonymous federal judge made that comment to NBC News in a remarkable piece that published this morning.
The attic they are referring to is the U.S. Supreme Court. A Court that is increasingly viewed in some corners as having abandoned the role Article III of the Constitution assigns to it, to act as a check and balance on the executive branch. But the concerns the judges expressed were about the process the Supreme Court is using to make decisions. The reporting was not an inquiry into either the substance of the high court’s rulings or the politics behind it all.
It’s all about the shadow docket, a term you’re familiar with if you read Civil Discourse. It’s a slightly snarky term coined by legal academics to refer to the Court’s emergency docket, which is used for time-sensitive issues, like last-minute requests to stay executions in death penalty cases. The Court also hears appeals involving emergency civil relief on this docket. That means that cases where pro-democracy lawyers seek injunctions to block some of the most egregious steps this administration is taking land, with increasing frequency, on the shadow docket, and that’s where they get decided.
But these cases aren’t like the cases on the Supreme Court’s regular docket, the ones that get fully briefed, orally argued, and then decided on the merits in carefully crafted, lengthy opinions that fully set out the decision and the legal basis for it. This kind of shadow docket ruling happens early in a case, and the decision, as in the birthright citizenship cases where the Court rejected the use of nationwide injunctions to obtain relief but didn’t weigh in on whether Trump could erase birthright citizenship from the Constitution, are on procedural issues, not the substantive merits of a case. The decisions are typically unexplained and unsigned. There’s usually no opinion. Maybe you get a couple of paragraphs. Sometimes a stinging dissent. But there is very little basis for understanding why the court ruled the way it did and applying it in the lower courts.
This is frustrating for us. We’ve had this experience in a number of cases. It happened when the Supreme Court signed off on letting the Trump administration deport noncitizens to third countries (countries other than their country of origin), desperately unsafe places like South Sudan. It happened when the Court okayed DOGE’s foray into Americans’ confidential data held by Social Security. The Court let Trump fire members of independent agencies.
Apparently, it’s frustrating for judges in lower courts as well. After all, they are being called upon to apply the Supreme Court’s decisions. Shadow docket rulings are precedent that lower courts must follow. But how do you apply something when there is no explanation for why it happened? That’s the position the lower courts are in and it’s what led 12 federal judges to take the unprecedented step of speaking anonymously to an NBC reporter about what’s going on at the Supreme Court.
The reporting characterized it like this:
“Lower court judges are handed contentious cases involving the Trump administration. They painstakingly research the law to reach their rulings. When they go against Trump, administration officials and allies criticize the judges in harsh terms. The government appeals to the Supreme Court, with its 6-3 conservative majority.
And then the Supreme Court, in emergency rulings, swiftly rejects the judges’ decisions with little to no explanation.”
The judges had a deeper criticism too. One that is unique to the time of the Trump administration, where the president and his cronies have attacked judges who rule against the president’s policies or against him on personal matters, often placing those judges in the crosshairs of his supporters. As one judge put it, “A short rebuttal from the Supreme Court, they argue, makes it seem like they did shoddy work and are biased against Trump.” Trump cronies like Stephen Miller have accused judges who rule against the administration of engaging in a judicial coup and there have been calls for their impeachment. One judge said that the Supreme Court “is effectively endorsing Miller’s claims that the judiciary is trying to subvert the presidency.”
This unique criticism of the Supreme Court from lower court judges comes as the Court has granted 17 of 23 emergency requests made by the administration, asking it to undo lower court decisions on an emergency basis. The NBC report concluded that five of the 17 cases were decided without any substantive reasoning to back them up and seven of the others had less than three pages of explanation. And we’re talking here about highly important decisions about the scope of presidential power. Supreme Court decisions routinely exceed 100 pages.

🤔 Ah, another riveting edition of The Daily WTF, where 2006 lives on in all its digital glory. Somehow, they managed to cram an entire year of bad decisions into a single article, as if #nostalgia for tech disasters was the new black. 🎉 Move over, Shakespeare, we've got "Classic WTF" to ponder endlessly.

🚀 Ah, the classic #startup dilemma: should you build a solid product or just drown in the microservice soup du jour? 🤦♂️ The author valiantly argues that premature #microservices are the code equivalent of a midlife crisis, but we all know startups thrive on bad decisions and #chaos. 🍝

👓 Apparently, YouTube's new layout is the Mona Lisa of bad design decisions, squeezing ads like they're the last tube of toothpaste on the planet. 🤦♂️ By 2026, expect the homepage to be a blank canvas, a modern art masterpiece of pure whitespace genius. 🎨

Contemplating liquidating 100% of my retirement investments, selling my house, buying a work/live space and then “just” start, uh, multiple, life-style (non-investment/“exit” minded) businesses.
Talk me out of it before I totally fuck myself!

Apple linking up with Taboola doesn't sound like a positive development 🤯
“For over a decade, I have been critical of Taboola (and its one time rival, Outbrain), equating them to the internet’s venereal disease that never goes away.
In 2017, when the two companies merged, it became clear that what was the herpes of the internet was mutating into a super bug. I said as much on Twitter.
Well, that day has come, and even Apple is now infected.”

Did the board at OpenAI use Bard to make their decision to oust Altman?
-
The interim CEO from Twitch now at OpenAI better have other plans. I do think Microsoft is a bit pissed off at the OpenAI board. And 700+ employees that will walk to follow Altman. And at least one board member with second thoughts about ousting Altman. Hold on, this is not over yet.

On the fence about trying to snag one of those transparent Analogue Pockets tomorrow morning. I absolutely don’t need one, I have a white one, and financially I can manage it but I really, really shouldn’t. But I had the transparent clear Game Boy Pocket when I was younger* and I loved that look.
*Okay literally like 20 years old, an actual adult
