For all the students at the social work uni intensive who told me they now use AI at work to write up case reports:

NDIS participant’s bid for more support failed in part because two physiotherapists used AI to write letters used to back her claim to top up her package

Bid to boost $200k NDIS package rejected after AI use found

The National Disability Insurance Agency warned about cut-and-paste medical reports. Throw artificial intelligence in and the results are even worse.

I’m fed up with reading climate related media and posts that cover everything except the cause and solutions. Is it any wonder most people are clueless and falling into despair. C’mon guys, lift your games. If you’re not writing about a fast exit from fossil fuels then you’re part of the problem.

I'm in a state in Australia where our government is currently spending 8 billion dollars on infrastructure for the US military to house up to five nuclear-powered submarines, and more than 1,000 Americans will soon be based year-round.

Spreading disease that kills and disables people is a tool of the oppressor. To believe your actions & lack of mitigations during an ongoing pandemic have no impact on others is ignorant. We share the air we breathe. Your actions or lack thereof matter. Health supremacy & eugenics are fascist.

Underbaked? I think they're fully cooked from where I'm standing. The US, like all colonial countries has always been cooked, it's just that now the oppression includes the middle classes.

Enabling the spread of Covid-19 by refusing to wear a respirator mask is a form of extreme brutality, resulting in ongoing instances of illness, mortality, and suffering. Millions have perished worldwide from Covid-19, and millions more will perish, because most people choose denial and negligence.

Dear liberals,

If you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It’s one small act of solidarity with the millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health

#ABC Middle East correspondent Matt Doran says Israel has been throwing tear gas at crowds gathering to greet freed Palestinian hostages in Gaza & demanded “they weren't to congregate, they weren't to celebrate the moment those Palestinians were released from Israeli jails”

While it's far from perfect, a Parliamentary system is very popular among Developed Nations, & seems to do at least a less-terrible job at offering minority parties a real shot at having a voice in government.

When this empire crumbles, we should consider this as an alternative as we rebuild.

zack polanski is so good and i genuinely think if the left rallies around this guy and the green party in the UK, they can easily beat back the hysteria of the reform party

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.
