GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

The ceasefire and the beaten child

“Why aren’t the Free Palestine people celebrating the ceasefire?”

It’s like asking a child if they’re grateful their abuser paused the beating.

Caitlin’s analogy is close, but the real story is worse.

Fascism and conspiracies prosper when governments become secretive and particularly when they reduce transparency and accountability. Our political duopoly are promoting and even encouraging this social disruption and degradation of our democracy.

No - you were right - it was a thoughtless response. I am mortified by my own stupidity. I am genuinely sorry.

Oh no! I am sorry - I meant it ironically. To me, this panel is a metaphor for most mental health "help" that I have received. I would never intentionally disrespect your plane fear - I will delete it.

The White House on the tweets:

🚨 Make no mistake: Antifa is a radical terrorist organization that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the U.S. Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.

Under the Trump Administration, Antifa's days are over.

Our questions for ABC 730 following the airing of this
shoddy story:

1) Who told you this report was commissioned in response to robodebt?

2) Are you aware that DEWR was forced to respond to revelations of unlawful decisions discovered by a welfare rights activist through FOI?

3) What gave you the impression this report about "policy", when it is explicitly a review into whether or not DEWR has operated the welfare punishment system unlawfully, and how doing so led them to unlawfully cut people off Centrelink payments, which the report confirms?

4) Did you actually even read the report you just covered on the public broadcaster’s flagship news program?

Climate Dad @climatedad.bsky.social · 3d

Up to 90% of all life on this planet died during the Permian Triassic extinction event when temperatures increased by 8C across 60,000 years.

We’re on track for a rise of 4C+ just in our children’s lifetimes.

It’s impossible to overestimate how much trouble we’re in.

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
That's all erased now.

As long as we get sausages in bread every three or four years, Australians are gonna sleepwalk their way through this fascistic global push. More of you need to be more serious, sooner rather than later.

In the Trump era, this is terrifying. Apparently criticising capitalism 🥴🤣 is terrorism now in the US.

Australian Federal Police ®

The AFP has set up new National Security Investigations (NSI) teams to target groups and individuals causing high levels of harm to Australia's social cohesion.
The NSI teams will work closely with state and territory police, law enforcement and national security partners to provide a coordinated, consistent and intelligence-led response to security threats, and also work on a global level through operations, capabilities and relationships with the international law enforcement intelligence community.
There are current and emerging groups dispersed across Australia and in some cases, overseas, who are eroding our country's social fabric by advocating hatred, fear, and humiliation. While many of these crimes may not meet the threshold of terrorism, the AFP has identified concerning behaviours which could escalate to politically-motivated violence or hate crimes, which seriously put the Australian community at risk.
There is no place for hate or violence in our communities and the AFP will defend and protect Australia and Australia's future from these threats.
Anyone with information about possible threats to the community or suspicious activity should make a report to the National Security Hotline on 1800 123 400. In an emergency or life-threatening situation, contact Triple
