I believe it's far more insidious than that. Rob people of their creativity and criticality and make them reliant on inherently unreliable systems of information which are controlled by oligarchs and who then fights back?

We need YOU to sign our petition to the Port to stop coal ships during the Blockade.

The Port calls itself “a global leader in sustainability” — let's pressure them to live up to that claim.

So-called 'AI' is a fascistic project to dehumanise and strip us of agency, creativity and criticality.

"One of the many constant themes running through the book is how Palestinians are consistently denied agency; what the influential Palestinian academic Edward Said terms 'their permission to narrate'."

This is a really beautiful thing. First Nations people are being beyond generous in asking non-Indigenous people to walk with them on the journey through Treaty for Victoria. If you want to be proud of this country, then this is something I believe we should support.

China is looking at this and going, "Wow... err... thanks, I guess?"

It's about the biggest self-own a superpower could possibly enact.

About twenty years ago I started saying China was going to be the next, and maybe sole, superpower and everyone ridiculed me for it.

To me it was just obvious.

Wait what, who, when, where... I mean I can already guess at the why but the others are still definitely things I know nothing about and can't even take a repeated and enthusiastic stabbing at in a dark alley, despite my keen, cat-like perceptiveness and guile.

No reasonable person would expect anyone with difficulty providing alt text with doing so. Would defeat the entire point. But for journalists whose job it is to communicate and who are entirely capable of providing that accommodation, I think it's reasonable to expect it from them.
