Walking on this Sydney street felt like a ‘traffic sewer’. Not any more

Foot traffic has more than tripled in some areas on George Street while nosediving on Pitt Street – but there’s still a way to go.

Creating fake, sexual images of women and children is a cruel and unacceptable form of abuse. We will not accept that.

Today, the European Commission has launched new investigation against X under the DSA. We have taken investigative steps and suspect that X has not properly assessed and mitigated risk on Grok´s functionalities. This includes the risk of spreading illegal content in the EU, like fake sexual images and child abuse material.

NEW: A new campaign to make social media companies' algorithmic feeds opt-in (instead of default) has caught attention of senior Albanese government members

I spoke with founder Chanel Contos about why she's gone from campaigning on consent education to tech policy.

We put up a big post about Hint Line ‘93, the game we made for the ACMI museum!

We Pitched a Museum a 1993 Game Hint Line (And They Actually Said Yes) | Yarn Spinner

Early 2025, ACMI, the Australian museum of screen culture, put out a call for comissions for Game Worlds. They wanted to commission microgames from Australian developers, and the brief was deliberately open: make something playable for a museum context, 5-10 minutes of experience, ready in two months. The games were to feature compelling world-building, interesting relationships between player and maker, be easily understood by a wide variety of visitors in terms of game design, playability and mechanics, and be a playful, and thoughtful response to the context of ACMI as a museum of screen culture.

Recently there have been several misleading media articles (in reputable sources) regarding pedestrian, cyclist and personal mobility device road deaths deaths in Australia.

Some have “inaccurately suggested that e-scooters and e-bikes played a significant part in the rise in pedestrian deaths”, when “the fatalities were in fact the riders of e-scooters” (ABC Correction)

Substantial new edits in a terrible ABC article published recently, incorrectly suggesting e-bikes are responsible for the rise in pedestrian deaths.
