Man has now been informed by his lawyers that his fingers are not only smeared in poop but so is literally everything he has ever touched
Every day on here now just seems to consist of another of episode of "Rich man poops on own hands, complains about smelly fingers"

Meanwhile in the outer west of Melbourne the "cool change" has so far been a whole 4c and it's stubbornly refusing to drop below 36c Glad I put out some extra water for the local birds this morning
The temp in #Melbourne reached 40.5°C today 🥵 its hottest day (and first day over 40°C) since the 31st Jan 2020! Six minutes later the cool change arrived, causing the temp to plummet 14°C in 15min and bringing local showers and thunderstorms. https://t.co/NOERdhfC5x

This is hands down one of the gods damn worst landing pages I've seen from a phishing sim This sort of utterly dickish behaviour from security teams only ensures your staff will never, ever want to report real phish to you in the future

Weird how none of the execs from these tech corps doing massive layoffs aren't also announcing say cuts to their own salaries and bonuses Almost as if things aren't really as dire as the proclamations claim

Authorised electoral content and what the government calls “professional news” will be exempt from the code. Yeah this is not exactly surprising
Digital platforms warned: tackle disinformation or face regulation: ACMA to receive code-making powers.

There is just no way in good consciousness I can attend a cyber conference that has decided that John Howard is good idea for a keynote speaker. It speaks volumes as to who this conference is really for
Offering over 20 hours of educational sessions, earn important CPE points and raise your company profile while also developing relationships and new contacts, experts, vendors and peers at Canberra’s leading cyber conference. Early bird ends tomorrow! https://t.co/rdgHrYkTjO

Orgs that run a phishing simualation the first week their staff get back from holiday deserve every ounce of distrust they earn from pulling such a move Hint: this will absolutely ensure no one wants to report to you for the rest of the year

I'm a bit late to the party but this addition to the BOM weather app where the rain radar now gives a reasonably accurate prediction up to 90 minutes into the future of where rain is going to be is really damn useful
The BOM Weather app has introduced an enhanced radar mapping experience. The latest app update shows 90 minutes of past weather, as well as the next 90 minutes of forecast rain, visible on the radar map. Download or update your existing app: https://t.co/QsxL5QBaqW
