Is Federation Romulan guy just trying to get people to hate read his books for political content? I mean, I don’t need to read your books to know you can’t see an allegory staring you in the face, dude.

This's the other one that's blown my gasket—Invasive Species Council CEO claiming it was important to meet with the racist, Islamophobic Barnaby Joyce to discuss "priorities to protect our wildlife, rivers, forests and landscapes", complete with photo op Legitimising these toxic pollies is a CHOICE

Heaps of people want more transparency for political donations & lobbyists. Coal Australia wants more transparency around foreign donations to advocacy & activist organisations, which I am suss on because of their name. Then there's finger pointing about who should get charity tax exemption status.

Finally decided on the perfect spot for my @roseschmits.bsky.social precious.

“In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

Painfully accurate www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWrd.... Well done, @thejuicemedia.com. Shame on @albomp.bsky.social, Murray Watt, Roger Cook and co.

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

The problem with going to bed at a sensible time is you wake up at a nonsensical time.

It is not an extreme position to want to be able to think for yourself, to write by just typing words in, to learn things from other people or to make art with your hands.

You had one job.

I guess you can go further and say Africans and Indians (AI) bsky.app/profile/oliv...

Not so secretive after all, if you are talking about it.

While there is some awareness about the issues surrounding content moderation for social media, every time I’ve told someone outside the tech field that somewhere, poorly-paid workers spend their days watching sexual/violent images all day so that genIA can “create” cute montages, they had no idea.

Where do you reckon they’re going to escort the tankers to?

Kind of like talking to a LLM AI.

It's World Wildlife Day. If you love Australian wildlife and wish @albomp.bsky.social's government would do far more to protect and care for it, smash repost!

Given Pauline's performance today, might be time to reup this evergreen...

Louise Adler brings the numbers.

And we’re off #AUSvPHI #WAC Go #Matildas

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

In my utopian vision of the future, instead of offloading all the pointless, annoying work tasks (like reports that none one will read and needlessly opaque forms) to robots, we restructure work and society so that the pointless tasks don't happen at all.

Gareth Hutchens' article gives some background on advisory council members & donors to racist hate-mongers Advance Australia but here's more info on Advance's millionaire & billionaire funders

33 of the people pardoned by Trump for January 6 have committed more crimes including molesting children and killing people while drunk driving.

Fuck’s sake, no. Talk to your representatives, team. You can see how well this is going in the US. We don’t need the bullshit here.

These bloody conmen.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

A new component of the ongoing shadowbanning of romance and erotica (and also often just queer) titles on Amazon: disabling affiliate income. If you're in a position to shift your affiliate links aways from Amazon, now's a good time. More info in the link below:

Enterprise needs new strategies? Maybe the product isn’t fit for purpose, team.

33km, 1/3 of the distance, done!

We owe it to these kids to keep fighting for truth to prevail.

If the cap fits. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Fond memories of this old thing.

Until now, we haven’t had research that tracks how accessing hormones or surgeries affects how much trans people use mental health services and medications. 👉 Read the full story: theconversation.com/funding...

Been going back through my many Twitter DMs with Jon Kudelka. He used to send me draft cartoons, generally expressing dismay that they were any good despite their absolute brilliance

Hey I’m on air today 9-11am AEDT (any minute now!) on @joy949.bsky.social for my show Miss Chatelaine, playing chilled-out folk, roots, acoustic and pop music to nourish your soul. Listen via joy.org.au or the JOY949 app or iHeart Radio or TuneIn 🙂

Right? My reaction was, “How’s this news. I learned this from Imani years ago on the bad place.”

Do you not read ::checks notes:: The Guardian? This isn't breaking news. Your paper wrote about it already two years ago. www.theguardian.com/media/2024/j...

Good to see you cover this but seems odd to call it an exclusive when it’s the reason many of us left the platform two years ago @caseynewton.bsky.social did some great coverage here www.platformer.news/why-platform...

“Hosting President Herzog ...sends a deeply troubling message about Australia’s commitment to accountability and respect for international law during an active genocide, the World’s longest occupation and apartheid regime that is a crime against humanity." #auspol www.amnesty.org.au/if-australia...

'What I do know is that I will leave this world without understanding why the international community chose to remain impassive while Israel perpetrated a genocide right before its eyes, broadcast live, minute by minute, massacre by massacre.' www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Maybe Penny Wong could ponder whether someone associated with a genocidal regime is the appropriate person to come along to mourn a mass murder. The reason for a person coming do not erase who that person is

My colleagues, an elegant bunch, are playing marbles.

The Wyperfeld fire was massive, severe & likely devastating for many wildlife, including Wilkerr (dingoes). Approved access & footage from @bigdesertdingo.bsky.social gives some insight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiU1... To support our recovery efforts, please visit engage.deakin.edu.au/give?fund=141
