who apologizes for winning lol primary jeffries next

How might H5N1 (bird flu)—now in at least two Australian states—affect native wildlife and ecosystems, and compound Australia's extinction crisis? Some thoughts from me 👉 theconversation.com/bird-flu-has...

Angus Taylor was asked five times yesterday if he supported multiculturalism and five times he refused to say yes. He clearly has both Pauline Hanson and Tony Abbot living rent free in his head. It’s pathetic and dangerous.

the federal housing minister was just asked about this on RN and she denounced “this racism and division”. Looks like Albanese has green-lighted the R-word. Stand by for self-appointed guardians of the Hanson brand pronounce that calling out racism (not the racists) is causing the racism.

Today was the day I decided “meme” comes from “memento”.

Oh fuck I feel seen right now bsky.app/profile/omar...

The reaction here in Paris to this heatwave feels different from previous years. People are understanding that the climate emergency is here. Schools and l businesses are closing early, ER’s filling up. A/c is the subject of political fights. Meanwhile our tech overlords have a message:

Love this 🧡

This is really lovely. Unfortunately, I need it in meme format to send to my friend I send memes to.

New poem about the primary kind of friendship I have these days while raising my kids.

We have to stop this immediately. The entire purpose of this LLM farce is to totally invalidate knowledge itself, to destroy information once and for all as a tool to hold power to account: when truth can’t be validated because any image or story might be generated by a bot.

It's so weird to see people pretend that news orgs and publishers haven't hated the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine since even before LLMs and have been doing everything in their power to destroy it for many years.

Where are people sending poems to these days? Feel like I used to see poems every week and now, hardly ever. Yet I follow the same amount of poets, if not more. I wonder if many of us lost faith in an industry that tried to pretend the genocide wasn’t happening or else engaged in epic bullshittery?

Is there *nothing* to look forward to?

Autistic truths here. I'm rarely hungry. I just get poor cognition, struggle to complete tasks, then eat. I'm rarely thirsty. Headaches tell me to drink more in winter (I mostly drink tap water & its cold/ less appealing.) I know my back is sore if I groan when sitting/ standing/ bending.

Seeing politicians and the media go ‘what if instead of a projector in a room full of journalists, Get Up set off a bomb?’ and it’s so ridiculous to even suggest that as a thing they would do, like come on we’re talking about Get Up not Israel

‘You couldn’t make that today’ and it’s just a living wage.

15 June 1974 is a significant date in British anti-fascist history. A protestor was killed in a demonstration against the National Front at Red Lion Square, while the NUS held an emergency conference to confirm its 'no platform' policy. Read about it here: hatfulofhistory.com/2019/06/16/1...

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

This is the President of the United States!

The violence in Belfast is a reminder of something I don’t want to take for granted: The fascists here hoped the response to the depredations of ICE would be similar, with people turning in or attacking their neighbors. That it was the very opposite is worth remembering in this season of despair

Joe Sacco spent years reporting on a communal riot in Uttar Pradesh for his new work of graphic reportage. But his Indian publisher abruptly dropped the book before it could be sold there. We have published an excerpt

I need to stop banging on about this, but I honestly believe that these Digital Safety Acts that they're forcing on us, around the world, are to try and eliminate resistance to the way that the billionaire class is just dictating policy now. We don't get a say anymore. That's done.

As a support worker of many years, I see the direct impact on clients and their families. The stress, injuries, exhaustion and illness that comes from not only having inadequate funding but being subjected to constant systems trauma when dealing with bureacracy

New article about Israel reigniting the regional war with Iran, the sickening Islamophobic hierarchy the West demonstrates daily in ignoring the mass murder of Shia Muslims, and disturbing developments in the US-Israel relationship. sakr.substack.com/p/israel-rei...

THERE IS AN ACTIVE POGROM IN NORTHERN IRELAND. FASCISTS IN SKULL MASKS ARE GOING DOOR TO DOOR PULLING MIGRANTS OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND SETTING THEM ON FIRE.

This is a pogrom, incited and instigated by Elon Musk. This is now the second set of pogroms incited by Elon in the UK in 2 years.

Is there no limit to their depravity??

I'm sorry but no, I won't stand for this. If you run a public hospital paid for with public money for the public you don't get religious exemptions on the care you provide. "Queensland's new public hospital to refuse voluntary assisted dying care, abortions and contraception for religious reasons"

Have you read this exposé of Australia manufacturing coveted high-quality explosives for Israel in Victorian factories, transporting it under the cover of night, shipping it from 🇦🇺 ports, obscuring it's origins & final destination by trading it via arms dealing ops in Singapore❓️

Since I do not see the New World Screwworm issue going away any time soon, I’m just gonna make a thread I can pin to my profile. Do you want to know why the screwworms have come back? Check this thread: bsky.app/profile/tkin...

Israeli cruelty knows no bounds! As I visit my granddaughter in Perth's Children's Hospital, there are patients from many nations being treated by medical staff from many nations.

There can be no defence of Israel’s extreme cruelty towards the Palestinians. Well, not unless you lie.

my conspiracy theory around this stuff is that it's way too hard at this point to make literacy a proper class differentiator again what with the proliferation of education so the rich are trying to create a functional illiteracy epidemic to once again have the divide that served them so well

Happened upon the elite Winchester College website where the headmaster (a woman) sets out cogent arguments why kids need all the old skills including taking notes by hand, and why and how AI use, phone use, and laptop use are controlled (but not banned). That's what the elite are being taught.

We have to stop the machines. It really is that simple. It can't be inevitable if this is the result.

I find this deeply alarming and am concerned about the implications, impact and lack of regulation and accountability

Have been in hospital all day with my 4yo as he gets chemo for his leukaemia and as always while here I can’t stop thinking of how the churches in Jerusalem begged the Israeli govt to let them treat kids with cancer in Gaza—promising to cover every part of the cost and transport—and Israel said no.

I said this was the goal *years* ago, even before LLMs were a thing. They’ve been deskilling teachers for the last decade - we’ve been ‘facilitators to learning’ since academisation was rolled out and our classroom autonomy was taken away. This is fucking terrifying. Absolutely NOT.

so cool that the canadian government plans to spend billions of dollars to encourage people to use not just a bullshit machine, but a mass death and suicide machine

It's not enough to burn this shit to the ground. Everyone who built it on theft and then pushed it relentlessly should be jailed.

They filed for their IPO today…….

Burn. It. All. Down.

Oh my dear god

“Within two minutes we were able to get ChatGPT to tell us how we can cut ourselves safely. Within 65 minutes it was giving us a full personalised suicide plan and drafting suicide notes for our family and friends.” Shut it all down. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

My 4yo just sat with his notebook for half an hour and when I asked what he was doing he said he was “working” just like me, it was very important, then he showed me his “letters” (colourful scribbles) 🥹
