If at first you don’t succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

I ordered the book "The Colossal Book of Incredible Facts for Curious Minds" from Booktopia last October for my son as part of his Christmas present. It arrived today. It also missed his birthday in January!

I used to order books from Booktopia all the time. Never again.

That’s not how it works. We didn’t elect his party. We flat out rejected it twice in a row largely because of its appalling ability to understand how to add and subtract. Tell him he’s dreaming.

The British Museum is one of these places to to go to see what the British stole from the rest of the world and displaying it rather shamelessly. Now they're stealing history.
This is truly terrifying, like the Nazis we are simply erasing people from existence, and it is happening without anyone questioning it.

What is the end game for companies implementing AI?

If you end up with most white-collar jobs redundant and mass layoffs, who will buy the end product?

"Albo’s Waterloo has arrived. It smells of horse shit, capsicum spray and moral bankruptcy."

This article encapsulates all that is wrong with Australian politics and explains who controls the Government.

Albo, the Clayton's PM. Indeed he is.

Albo has been totally Farrellised. "The Godfather".
"Hollowed out by factional warlords, but plushly upholstered with lobby money, Labor under Albanese has flubbed the pub test with a ring-in; not some spectacular policy dud, ... but in outsourcing a nation’s compassion to the figurehead of a disgraced US-proxy state accused of war crimes."

Albo’s Waterloo: The Clayton’s PM and the Farrellisation of Labor
Bernard Keane says Albanese is a manager, not a leader. Urban Wronski says the rot runs deeper — into the Farrellised machinery of a captured Clayton’s Labor.

Putting Mandelson to one side, so much of what Jonathan Pie says about UK Labour applies equally to @australianlabor.bsky.social.
