If you are guessing which of the three students in this image is advocating for more reliance on GenAI, you guessed right

@theconversation.com has 180,000 followers on X. Their most recent post was reposted once. Nothing in the past 2 days shared more than 7 times. Someone explain to me what is stopping these institutions from deciding to stop using a non-consensual abuse app as a communications platform

We all know this is outrageous. If a news organization was publishing non-consensual explicit images, it would be a scandal of the highest order — especially if they were of children. They need to finally stop treating Elon Musk with kid gloves and crack down. disconnect.blog/elon-musks-x...

Section 5(1)(f) of the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act 1998 (as amended) makes it a criminal offence to knowingly facilitate the production or distribution of sexualised images of children. The problem here isn't the law - it's the political willingnesss to enforce it against X.

In these firsthand accounts, readers are given a window into the ways in which individuals’ lives in Gaza and throughout the Middle East are under constant Israeli surveillance.

#BoycottFIFA2026 It's time. The USA is a rogue nation and it's not safe any anyone to travel to. The footballing world needs to take a principled stand and not send their teams to play.

At the very least every government department should have a trivially findable RSS feeds they can wire into a basic bot that just posts content here with a link back to source.

Albanese is mentioning Deborah Conway and the criticise she has faced for her pro-Israel views as an example of why he needed to call this RC. Again, if you needed more proof as to what this was really about.

On the day that a Palestinian writer is dropped from Adelaide Writer’s Week for being *checks notes* Palestinian.

I guess it's not surprising but it is still completely disgusting and outrageous that the ABC is going to both-sides American fascist militia murdering civilians

Following the decision from the Board of the Adelaide Festival, The Australia Institute is withdrawing its support from this year’s literary festival. Here is our statement, and a personal one from me.

As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi. A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.

people are withdrawing from Adelaide writers week faster than can be reported. In addition to the names listed here are Ren Wyld, Emma Shortis, and Fiona Katsaukas. Important detail: the only creative, Stephen Page, has left the Adelaide Festival board. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

We really need emergency comms here, not on the abuse app

oh fucking COME ON

Well, I was going to be on a panel at the Adelaide Writers' Festival but I'm not any more.

Someone should ask them what happens if the USA seizes Greenland and NATO falls over. Still all the way with the USA? What kind of protection is this?

It's not culturally sensitive to be publicly Muslim at this time.

Absolutely disgraceful from the Adelaide Festival. I hope other participants reconsider their part in it.

Intriguing reporting from Nine here - the objection to former High Court justice Virginia Bell to lead the royal commission apparently relates to a previous decision where she upheld the democratic right to protest www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

This just keeps happening. Maybe, just maybe, they should try something new “A 49-year-old man has been shot and killed by police on the New South Wales Central Coast after a welfare check turned into a protracted standoff on Wednesday evening” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Those agitating for a Royal Commission with particular forced terms of engagement are political opportunists agitating in the interests of Israel - NOT Jews. This entire "debate" and the almost total complicity of our media and political class endangers Jews and ultimately all minorities.

To be clear: these terrorists were not Arabs, not acting on behalf of Palestinians, radicalised by Islamic State, who oppose the cause of Palestinian self-determination. Their antisemitic ideology and its murderous conclusion is not - cannot be - connected to pro-Palestinian activism.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

"Using their vehicles as weapons" She literally tried waving them through:

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

this was also consensus opinion for center-right types after george floyd’s murder five years ago. the state media apparatus will be working overtime the next few weeks to reprogram them

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying. They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

“If someone says it’s raining and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. It’s your job to look out the window and find out which is true.” That's 9Entertainment!

as i argued in this episode a few months ago, i think there is actually a coordinated propaganda machine encouraging people to use cars as deadly weapons, but kristi noem won’t admit that it’s fox news.

she’s lying, obviously. we can see the video with our own eyes. but it’s so interesting that they’re suddenly so willing to believe a car is a deadly weapon when they ignored the 100 documented instances of right wingers hitting protesters with their cars in 2020.

Danish soldiers "will shoot first and ask questions later" if the United States invades Greenland, the country's defence ministry confirmed to the Telegraph.

Important context for claims that the Nicole Renee Good was obstructing/assaulting officers before she was shot & killed: The last time immigration agents shot a woman (Marimar Martinez, Chicago) they made similar claims. Prosecutors have already dropped the charges www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Those who have been agitating for the Royal Commission want to make it a RC into why any criticism of Israel is evil. Australians overwhelmingly do not agree with this, and Albanese should side with the public.

The defining characteristic of Trump-era USA is that the treatment that was previously reserved for poor/foreign/nonwhite people is now being gradually extended to everyone who is not an overtly loyal fascist.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Rather than indifference, I'd suggest it would be more accurate to say that the US administration positively delights in the murder of its enemies, & is remarkably frank about it.
