New woke lamb ad doesn't poo poo on vegetarians and hippies.

This made me look up Sam Kekovich

He filmed facebook ads for Corey Bernadi's political party and the lamb people got angry with him for using the term "lambassador"

I'm OK with the supermarket duopoly being the Australia Day battleground, it's extremely Australian

I wonder how much Morrison's connections in Parliament are worth to an employer. I was under the impression that he was not well liked within his party. Along with his well documented managerial incompetence it's not surprising that it took him this long to find a gig

Do voters care about broken promises?
I don't really know any swing voters, maybe those perverts do

I've never really understood broken promises as a knock on a politician or party. It's table stakes, they all do it all the time. Most of the time they only "promise" things cos the media push them to.

Will the upper income bracket actually be "worse off" or is their tax cut just not going to be as large as it was going to be?

They still get a tax cut, just around half of what they would have got

The reporting and politics around this issue is going to make me insane

He seems like he was an aloof weirdo but he went against the cricketing establishment to recommend against playing apartheid South Africa. :shrug:

My parents were friends with the caretakers of his disabled daughter he threw into a asylum. He'd only visit her once every few months for about ten minutes and by all accounts was a real nasty bloke in real life.

photoshop does have an ai 'extend this image' feature that can just generate nonsense like that now. nine used it on a cropped version of the image for some reason instead of just finding an uncropped version, obviously a stupid thing to do

Adobe has apparently 'cast doubt' on this explanation

Note that the photo on the right isn't actually the source photo that was used for the 'shopped image, her pose is almost exactly the same but her face is turned slightly further away from the camera.

If you do a google image search for her then this cropped photo from the same photo session used to be one of the first images that came up before all this:

..... which matches the pose exactly, and seems to be the photo that Ch9 used for their graphic. Why they used generative fill to 'expand' the image rather than just downloading a different photo is a mystery.

Yeah I don't necessarily believe Adobe in this case.
Should have been checked by an editor or something before publication though

When did the chaser become right wing? They’ve spent a good twenty minutes on their America show talking about how it’s too easy to claim asylum; super predators are coming across illegally; and undocumented migrants are ruining the joint; and their solution is to shut the border and stop processing asylum claims.

In thought that was just Chas Liciardello and John Baron, who's always seemed kind of right wing. Nothing to do with Chaser

Assuming you're taking about Planet America.
It's a pretty bad show

Because that's your answer right there.

We went over this, they didn't go right wing. Chas is on a lovely America show on ABC, where he has wonky centrist takes.

I kind of skim read the Sydney bike chat cos I don't know much about about Sydney, but I do commute by bike. It doesn't piss me off cos I know gently caress all about urban planning or civil engineering so I've been learning a thing or two. I admire Bucky's perseverance, and it's not like I'm contributing compelling discourse to the thread.

I reckon escooters will attract more people cos you can easily get them on a train and just hop on and off them and fracture your skull and break your wrists. They're the first share vehicle scheme I've seen catch on in Melbourne.

Sportspeople do abominable poo poo all the time, much of the time it barely effects their careers.
Even if you think that what Sam Kerr supposedly did was wrong (it wasn't), it's so far down on the list.
