Another 100% Political Propaganda piece from #TheAge attacking the #SRL
Just look at how it ends "Opposition spokesman Evan Mulholland said: “This secret package is yet another opportunity for Labor to funnel billions through the CFMEU to bikies and crooks, while desperately needed infrastructure in our growth areas and regional Victoria is left behind.”
The whole article is a beat up. I trust @danielbowen objects to being associated with this 💩

“helped clients across the #Anglosphere to anticipate, influence and navigate change.”
Those #ResolvePolls on #ChannelNine / #Fairfax ( #SMH, #TheAge, #Liberals ) are plain out #InfluenceOperations from those sad f*cks from #CrosbyTextor; Think the failure of #Brexit of the UK, Crosby Textor.
So Jim, push off back to blighty with your warm beer, hotter summers and crap economy.

Journos at The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald have been ordered to use more AI in their articles. They've also been told that management is actively monitoring them:
"Nine editorial staff, including newspaper journalists at its flagship publications The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, have been told to increase their use of AI in an all-staff meeting this week."

Calling Wilcox’s cartoon “unacceptable” misunderstands both satire and journalism. Political cartoons are meant to be provocative, compressed and confronting. They exaggerate power relationships to expose hypocrisy and danger, not to offer polite balance.
This cartoon does exactly that. It highlights unchecked US imperial behaviour and the hollow language of “freedom and security” used by institutions like NATO while aggression proceeds regardless. Discomfort is not a flaw, it is the point.
If a cartoon criticising military power is deemed unacceptable simply because it offends those aligned with that power, then the problem is not the cartoon. It is a shrinking tolerance for dissent and satire in public debate.Wilcox is doing a great job.

So #TheAge and #SydneyMorningHerald edited Kerry O'Brien's #WakelyAwards speech and removed his tribute to #PalestinianJournalists - bet you won't hear any backlash from the #Murdoch media #journalism #palestine

Also, if that murdered gangster was so successful, why is it he didn't own a shirt? I don't think I've seen a single photo of him wearing one.

It's been hard reading the news the last week or so. I always turn to The Age opinion section first, but have no interest in reading stuff about the US president or Dutton. Or gangsters (there may be some overlap). That's been about it for the past week.

How one #photo on the #frontpage of #TheAge in ’94 marked #Melbourne’s #Stonewall #moment.
“That #photo outraged the #LGBTQIA #community all around #Australia”

Another day, another ban. I booted
theage.com.au
from my newsfeed.
Why?
I had the gall to click on one of their articles and be immediately met by a paywall.
I never read this publication. Therefore, the solution is NOT to subscribe but to ban them.
Good riddance.

CW: Crossword spoiler theage
Not sure if #TheAge #crossword stuffed up or are trying to be edgy. None in this house think 4-down's answer fits the clue, although it does fit the two words crossing it

#FairPlay... #OK well... #Eurovision...
Back in the #LongLongAgo before #MTV had been invented; #Europe was #AtWar...
#GreatLuminaries of #TheAge decided that #IT was #MoreCruel and #Unusual for #TheNationsOfEurope to #ComeTogether and #SingIncomprehensibleSongs at one another, instead...
And, then there was #JustinBimblebottom...

I’ve seen a few posts over the last couple of weeks about how to get away from the #Amazon environment. Many #mastodon users are likely already people who have fled from one evil empire or another. ;-)
I too have been trying to remove myself from Amazons ecosystem as much as possible over the last year, especially since a lot of my reading was done via #Audible and #Kindle and my reviews through #Goodreads
If anyone is interested these are my current alternatives to these services
My favourite Goodreads alternative:
#StoryGraph , A bit less cluncky than Goodreads and has an app that works, some insightful stats and graphs about your reading habits, and certainly better recommendations. And unlike Goodreads, this is being improved continuously
Website: https://app.thestorygraph.com/
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thestorygraph.thestorygraph
Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/storygraph-reading-tracker/id1570489264My favourite Audible alternative: #LibroFM
Just opened in #Australia this WEEK, #DRMfree #audiobooks from all over the world, and you’re supporting your local Australian #bookstores (picked by the user themself!)
Website: https://libro.fm/
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fm.libro.librofm
Apple: https://apps.apple.com/app/libro-fm/id1057776523My favourite Kindle alternative: #KOBO
Almost all the books Amazon Kindle has as well, plus that one especially nice feature that Kobo devices have #OverDrive built right in — allowing you to check out free library #ebooks directly from your device.
And touching on that last Overdrive bit, check with your library where you have access to. Via my #Maribyrnong #Libraries I have access to #PressReader (Thousands of Newspapers and Magazines) #BorrowBox and #Libby (ebooks for e-readers) and even to the Library Edition of #TheAge
I am VERY keen to hear others recommendations on better alternatives!
