When a hacker named "Waifu" and "Judische" began posting death threats against security researcher Allison Nixon, she had no idea why he targeted her. So she set out to unmask him. The quest led her to Connor Moucka, a 25-yr-old Canadian who was ringleader of infamous Snowflake/AT&T hacks. My story:

In the midst of the most aggressive and alarming federal assault on the First Amendment since the Palmer raids, the Biden-era free speech warriors have focused their outrage on . . . the injustice of releasing the Epstein files.

Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds. The files reveal it was something far darker Extraordinary read by @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social for the Nerve on Epstein, academia and eugenics www.thenerve.news/p/epstein-bi...

Karp is worth twelve billion dollars. His colleague Peter Thiel is worth over twice as much. They have surveillance contracts riddling the international public sphere. They are fascists and lunatics. This is all absolutely insane. But it's the reality our "leaders" insist on imposing on us.

An antibiotic used by the Tasmanian salmon farming industry is detected in native species more than 10km away from the closest fish operation using it.

I note elite opinion has barely been moved by the revelation that Israel has for decades been working towards exactly this calculated, openly fascist genocide and ethnic cleansing. I have to conclude either a) they always knew it was, and are fine with it, or b) it’s unthinking political tribalism.

The core point is that it is NOT new technologies or new nations wanting nukes or China's arsenal that defines nuclear dangers today. It'ss that almost all nuclear weapons in the world are controlled by authoritarian leaders. Our theories, postures and strategies were not designed for this world. 2/

The west talks about a two state solution while Israel makes pronouncements like this The reality is Israels allies have cynically used a 2SS as cover while Israel gets on with ethnic cleansing & perpetually denying Palestinians their rights in the one state that actually exists

Exclusive | OpenAI’s own report predicted a $115bn annual boost to the Australian economy. Treasury’s internal briefing noted AI benefits could be as low as 0.1% productivity growth per year.

New: Internal gov documents show how OpenAI lobbied Australia's top public servants & politicians — and how they responded, including: - Treasury pouring cold water on OpenAI's claims of AI's economic benefits - meeting with the prime minister's intelligence agency - & more www.crikey.com.au/20...

After Arkansas passed it's law banning care, it came out at trial when ​Dr. Michele Hutchison testified at least 4 trans youth in her care attempted suicide and were hospitalized. These anti trans laws are directly resulting in suicide attempts by trans youth.

It was a stupid piece, the confused reaction to it was predictable, and this profession has too many wildly overrated hacks whose entire careers seem to be predicated on glazing one another instead of doing any actual work. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I would simply conduct myself so as to not have the judge say things like this at my death penalty trial.

Federal police raided Dissent Bar in Canberra and stripped anti-fascist posters off the walls under Labor's brand new hate speech laws. Not a Nazi compound. A local café with political art. This is what biased laws look like in practice. 🧵

Government and industry are making an absolute mockery of environmental law and threatened species conservation www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

That’s a bit … concerning

fucking your computer is the future. if you're not fucking your computer right now you're gonna miss the revolution. fucking your computer is going to change everything

A hidden truth about how why journo types get mad at 'liberal elites' is they actually care about the opinions of academics and their declasse children (because they secretly respect them) while they don't care about how cuck_pepe88 hates them because they have no respect or know such a person.

Ben Ryan does not like to be reminded how when the chips were down, he elevated MAHA/MAGA doctors as the rest of us were desperately trying to warn about them. It was all just a social media game to him.

I got a tip that all over the world, people are using a dead-simple hack to manipulate AI behavior. It turns out changing what AI tells other people can be as easy as writing a blog post *on your own website* I didn’t believe it, so I decided to test it myself www.bbc.com/future/artic...

"Chanting 'from the river to the sea' with a crowd could lead to criminal charges in Queensland, while down the road Pauline Hanson can say there are 'no good Muslims' and be rewarded with headlines, airtime and rising support." @juliannes.bsky.social on hate speech hypocrisy. #auspol

We’ve come full circle

Epstein's pals Palantir legged over Australian regulators claiming to be a "small co - not part of larger group" despite actual size of $450B. Lying while they get untendered govt contracts. @sstephanietrann.bsky.social #auspol michaelwest.com.au/palantir-sur...

Everything Max Chandler Mather said would happen with Labors ( non) housing bill is happening including this.

Again: if we forever block change for the better, then guess what type of change we are going to get instead.

Like this. "You must strategically abandon the specific issues that the right has rendered toxic & focus on others." But then ... why wouldn't the right just be able to do the same thing on those other issues?

Part of the reason this is all so tiresome is that what we're calling AI is a political project combining a bunch of preexisting sociotechical processes designed to shift power from the masses to the managerial class. A non-exhaustive list in no particular order:

You might think an essay about ferries is dull material, but I GUARANTEE you: this is the tale that keeps giving.

NEW: ChatGPT and other chatbots are feeding users' fixations on real people, reinforcing users' delusional ideas and obsessions about others as they descend into unwanted harassment, stalking, and/or domestic abuse — traumatizing victims and profoundly altering lives. futurism.com/artificial-i...

It’s weird we never do stuff like this with other terrible decisions. Newspaper doesn’t run “I saw a half empty can of Mountain Dew left on the street and drank the rest of that mfer”, and the guy who drank the Mountain Dew is only hurting himself

people pretend to not be nazis and couch that in dog whistles but i think a reality we have to contend with is that there are so many, many, many incredible ignorant people out there

definitely seems like you're safer from any kind of punishment for being in the Epstein Files than for, say, just to pick two examples totally at random, attending a college protest for Gaza or tweeting that you weren't very sad Charlie Kirk died

*very sensibly* ~nyan ✨

Solidarity with Vanessa Turnbull Roberts. An old, shitty story that keeps happening. The real 'cancel culture' is women's careers being cut short or derailed when they need to choose safety. Because apparently we're not always entitled to both.

The worst damage of the far right was enabled by the center right too fearful to push back against trump

🧵Note #Auspol. We now have as Shadow Treasurer someone who was not only an Atlas Network partner actor, and also on the Mont Pelerin Society, but someone who was shortlisted for the top 🌎 Atlas Network prize for betraying Australia for fossil fuel. He led a team rewarded for killing the carbon price

We are constantly receiving inquiries for work from disabled freelancers and the more partnerships we can build, the more projects we can support, the more work we can offer, and every lead, connection, and project helps enormously bsky.app/profile/aat-...

I’d just be posting Batman screenshots at this point if I hadn’t been so thoroughly Jokerfied no later than 2021/22

These things are complicated and there is no simple comparison but in many ways, both in the UK (even more probably) and US, trans people were portrayed more favorably in popular culture/news than gay people

When people hear "it saved my life", there’s a presumption made that we mean without it we would quite literally die. And for many of us, that's absolutely true... But for those of us who rely upon it regularly.... it means our lives are made so much better now that they actually feel worth living."

why isn't the left engaging seriously with the fascist imaginary machine, people love the fascist imaginary machine, the left is clearly wrong about this, like they were wrong about crypto and NFTs and the metaverse

If I ever profiled Nick Fuentes, I'd be sure to mention that he is a cum hunter. Nick Fuentes hunts for cum. He has special cum hunting tools, including a black light. If you are going to write about Nick Fuentes' supposed influence, don't forgot his cum hunts. bsky.app/profile/jtis...
