"It is significantly due to the courage and stubborn determination of those Palestinian journalists that no reasonable citizen of the world has been able to look away."

But for so many in Australia's media and political class, 'looking away' has been standard practice. #GazaGenocide #auspol

Worth reading this by Georgina Woods from Lock the Gate

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

We are going Super Social Justice Blue Hair and Pronouns. We are calling things "gay" and "queer" as compliments and honorifics. We are proudly being buzzkills and harpies and feminine and vegan and giving a sincere fucking shit about the environment and climate and well-being of the community.

Pro tip - if anyone starts proffering ‘simple’ blanket solutions to housing affordability in Australia - close the browser window and repeat the words ‘build public housing’ 5 times between deep exhales. Absolute muppets…
Simple city zoning change could lower rents, house prices, report finds
Rents and house prices would be 12 per cent lower than otherwise within a decade if all capital cities are rezoned to allow three-storey buildings, a report finds.

ICYMI- yesterday's #Mamdani #USpol cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com
(may contain relevance to UK and Aus pol as well)
cartoon: in background is a shaking blue box with "Democratic Machine" which is pumping out generic people in suits on a conveyor belt. In front of it is a man and woman in suits. Zohran Mamdani is standing int the right hand corner grinning with a sign saying 'GOOD THINGS ARE POSSIBLE". The man is saying "We've spent YEARS developing passionless centrists whose every utterance is crafted by consultants and filtered through focus groups then HE comes along and ruins it all..."

I think a lot of people have been noticing this over the past couple years but courage and conviction wins people over. Drawing lines and plotting indifference curves to figure out what you believe in turns them off

A very solid, evidence-informed speech against the Albanese government's cynical push to rush through Labor's deeply inadequate, integrity-challenged EPBC package

The left wins the Irish presidential election in a landslide
Catherine Connolly (born 1957) only became involved in active politics in 1999. Michael D. Higgins, the outgoing president of Ireland (2011-2025), encouraged Connolly to join the Labour Party and stand for election.

NSW parliamentary enquiry revelations. Police could be excused for mistaking ambiguous criminal episodes for antisemitic attacks but the examples listed in this summary of the evidence are malicious. Racist disdain? Systemic prep to crush rising protests that will accompany climate catastrophes?
NEWS Australian police exaggerated "antisemitic" incidents amid crackdown on opposition to Gaza genocide The police classified pro-Palestinian protests, and even Zionist attacks on opponents of the genocide, as "antisemitism," in a fraud that was perpetrated against the public. 15 October 2025 • Oscar Grenfell WSWS.ORG Peaceful pro-Palestinian protests were classified as antisemitic, without the slightest grounds. Random criminal incidents with no apparent connection to racism were listed. And even several occasions on which Zionists attacked opponents of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, or Palestinians were subjected to racist abuse, are inexplicably included.
