It's absurd we even have to have this argument.

You didn't "earn" a billions dollars, Jeff Bezos. You *took it* from your poorly paid workers.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

the foreign owned salmon industry in tasmania is now sending propaganda tea towels home with children in state public schools #politas

I'm a broken record on this but the radicalisation and brain rot of Gen X/boomers is a massively under-appreciated problem

One of the One Nation MPs elected to SA State parliament apparently was surprised to hear she would be required to attend parliament in the city. She thought she could just zoom in and keep running her regional business. Honestly, these people 😳 www.instagram.com/reel/DXDZQa3...

"Under Bondi, in the first six months of Trump’s administration, DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, fraud, and drugs..." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Israel’s Ambassador Hillel Newman making shocking hate speech & falsehoods in his NPC address. Accuses journalists of spreading propaganda & denies hundreds journos have been killed in Gaza. Calls Iranians & Palestinians ‘barbarians’, ‘extremists’ Why give him a platform? #auspol

Melania Trump's robot stunt was unsettling, but here reason is worse: to promote replacing human teachers with robots. This is no one-off. It's the newest front in the GOP war on education. Conservatives hate kids learning to think for themselves. www.salon.com/2026/03/30/w...

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.

Light fuel load can be likened to a piece of newspaper, Philip Zylstra says, which ignites easily because of airflow, and heavy fuel load can be likened to a book – harder to ignite and keep alight. mnth.ly/V8s06mx

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction. Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men." Just saying it right out loud now. newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

This free article is a must read if you want to understand how bad this is gonna end.

This company should be nationalized, torn apart, and sold back to the industry as spare parts.

Far Right wing thug gate crashes a Muslim dinner in Ballarat, assaults guests and issues death threats. No charges. Pro Palestine protestor says "from the river to the sea" in Queensland and gets arrested straight away. This is just nuts. #auspol.

New @crikey.com.au piece- Australia's latest fossil-fuelled data centre carbon bomb would undo one year's worth of emissions cuts for the state of New South Wales if it were to go ahead at its proposed scale This is #Petrotech at work - and it's going to get worse www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/11/f...

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

What a fucking crock. Two mid-level officials found to be corrupt by the NACC, but the big guns get off scot-free forever.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

A government who subsidizes big corporates $11 billion per year to pollute *more* cannot say: - it is serious about the #ClimateCrisis, or - lifting one in six children out of poverty is unaffordable. #auspol

This is Bryan. Once a week, he takes a shelter pup on a New York City adventure in his 'Adopt Me' backpack, hoping someone will fall in love. He films their big day out, and almost every dog he's featured has found a forever home. 🫶 🐕 🫶 🐶 🫶

A report that Comm Bank is spending $200m on sponsoring the Olympics. My post on how isn't it weird how such things are never reported as something that will cause fees/prices to rise, but a wage increase?? Horrors!! thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

basically, we've utterly erased the rights & healthcare access of a vulnerable minority because a very small group (of apparently very well-connected) of people became fanatical about it & the (also very small) group who decide press coverage decided they needed relentless coverage

The utter sham of offsets, yet again... “Destroying the equivalent of 40 MCGs worth of greater glider habitat and then attempting to relocate all hollows and claim this somehow offsets the harm to greater gliders is genuinely deluded, and contemptuous.” - me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The government is refusing to answer questions about why the Secretary was sacked "I don't think anyone...would appreciate the circumstances of their employment termination being discussed" She was paid $1m/year to unlawfully cut ppl's payments. You can't bullshit your way past this one, sorry

This doesn't sound like anything to do with stopping antisemitism, but it does look very much like it is intended to stop criticism of Israel & the genocide in Gaza. Protests aren't against Jews, they are against genocide. #auspol #FreePalestine www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

We couldn’t possibly change the date. It’s just not something we do.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Just finished watching this video, which explained why Americans voted the way they did. It doesn't delve heavily into the strong racial motivation, but it does give a general summary. youtu.be/gUFMM9VYgpM?...

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.

I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump). www.timesofisrael.com/full-text-ch...

We don't hate Jews or Judaism, Greg. We hate genocide. We hate apartheid. We hate ethnic cleansing. We hate racism. We hate war. We hate terrorism. We hate settler-colonialism. We hate all these things that Israel was and is guilty of yesterday, today and tomorrow. We want Israel to stop.

Grok stands as the clearest example of an AI that is both ideologically aligned and operationally embedded in a social media platform, says Matthew Kirschenbaum; its mechanisms should be taken apart under bright lights, in much the same way people learn how to defuse a bomb. buff.ly/BveKSAw

A whole bunch of artists and cultural workers have lost work because of the implosion of Adelaide Writers week — writers, producers, stage crew, front of house. None of this was their fault. Something for the Labor premier to think about

What is the end game here? No publicly funded cultural events that aren’t approved by Israel? No arts boards that aren’t pro-Israel? The sections of our political class and media who are active in this attempted gutting of our cultural landscape need to ask wtf they are doing here.
