The correct term for Elon Musk sycophants is “the elongated”.

The best way to avoid being scammed is to avoid taking phone calls. The best way the government can help prevent scams is to make all unsolicited outbound business calls, and the devices used to facilitate them, illegal. https://t.co/KeIu4Ehe6c

In just seconds, scammers can clone a voice and use it to extort people. What can be done to safeguard against the threat?

We should make it Australian to give the boot to people who use the word "un-Australian".

Which seems kinda long to have a ban on anything but especially against something that encourages kids to be active. But also way too late to actually protect kids from whatever it is they thought would happen to them who would have been #breakdancing during it's heyday.

I just found out New South Wales has an active ban against #breakdancing in schools. It's been in place since 1999.

Whilst I think this is a step in the direction we need to take, if Twitch was serious about helping DJs they'd bring back Hosting. It was the best way for us to get discovered. This appears to be mostly an effort to help them not get attacked by the copyright police.

You want games and the games industry to prosper as anything but a money spinner for uncaring investors, we've got to unionise and also smash capitalism.

This is EA's message to investors. Investors don't give a fuck about games nor the people who make them. All they want is return on their investment. You keep investors interested by talking about the money makers - currently Ads and AI - not decades old IP which costs big bucks.

Why does EA think in-game ads are better business than a Mandalorian game? What are we doing here, people? https://t.co/cVeFpL406F

Then I see Ninja Theory is trending and then read the stories and I'm like, oh seriously, go fuck yourself, The Games Industry! I love so many products you produce and so many individuals who are passionate about working in it, but we all deserve so much better.

I came here to lament on @WagaduChronicle shutting down, to thank everyone on the team for their passion and dedication and tell them they did a fantastic job, and thank (once again) @liamesler for bringing my attention to it. You did a bloody good job people.

This is because journalists started to use Twitter AS THE NEWS instead of a source of news.

"Doubling down" on games as a service based on the success of Hogwarts Legacy is like deciding to build an office block because your work from home lifestyle is so successful. It completely misses the point.

This makes no sense to me. Hogwarts Legacy was successful because it was a stand alone game. It was enjoyable because it was crafted to be played by a single player at a pace they enjoyed.

The boss of WB Games has indicated that Suicide Squad was a "disappointment" and that the gaming division is pivoting towards games as a service. What are your impressions of their statements? Share and discuss on @giantbomb! Discussion Thread: https://t.co/JVuLsLSi2t

If Kerr’s court case fails to acknowledge the deeper purpose of anti-racism legislation by equating “racial” with “racist”, it risks setting a highly problematic precedent that would undermine efforts to acknowledge and tackle racism in all its forms. https://t.co/9pJgcWIFBz

Claims of anti-white or “reverse” racism are based on a shallow, misguided and inaccurate understanding of what racism really constitutes.

The Australian left is whinging about #Advance but we had a millionaire fly Katie Perry out to a private party which @AlboMP attended.

Dear @AustralianLabor. If you want to look genuinely concerned about racism and racial profiling it might be more effective if you don’t have a bunch of white people standing behind your leader whilst he’s whining about it on national news…
