this derives directly from the legitimising “ethical ai use” discourse, the white centrism of ai, of weak and gutless FOMO driven managers, who fucking REFUSE to prioritise student learning and the actual planet ahead of a self-serving careerism that involves subsidising pervert billionaires.
Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

if everyone was treated by courts as leniently as violent white males are treated by courts, a lot of violent white males paid public money to brutalise incarcerated people with impunity would be out of a job.

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.
We executed multiple members of that crew.

The thing is, you can find horses just about any place. Wild horses, even. You can find snow gums, corroboree frogs and pygmy possums pretty much only in one place. So, to me, it makes sense to do our best to protect these unique species and landscapes, even if that comes at a cost.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

The Australian government claims it will meet its 2030 emissions target almost entirely due to an assumption that it will meet its renewable energy target.
This is an input to the projection, not an output.
It's honestly very hard to see how this will happen.
