I acknowledge the traditional owners of this land on which I live, the melukerdee people of the South East Nation. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

When it comes to climate change, politicians still aren’t acting in the best interests of young people & future generations.
We need to act now if we want to protect the people & places we love.
The duopoly will never put you & the 🌏 before their greed.

How are things going in the economy these days? Well, that depends if you’re playing the market or if you can’t afford to shop in one.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

“The Cook government’s fealty to the fossil fuel industry, backed by local press barons, is almost tribal. Despite the science, they want to back the likes of Woodside to drill & pollute for another 50 years. … a death warrant for Australia’s corals.”

Democracy doesn’t mean whoever wins a slight plurality in the national vote gets to rewrite every American institution to satisfy their own whims. The president is not an elected king. If we let him become one, the project of American democracy is over.
