Looking forward to the 2026 Adelaide Writers Hour

"Trump me dijo en la llamada que estaba pensando en hacer cosas malas en Colombia. El mensaje era que estaban preparando algo ya, planificándolo, una operación militar", reconoce Petro, presidente de Colombia.

In Adelaidology, the golden rule is you don't embarass the city. Adelaide has it tough enough. If other artists start pulling out of Adelaide Festival proper, the board and state government have a real problem.

Iranian’s have set the first gov building on fire in Tehran

tip for parent management: my parents were asking me about chatGPT, and have some friends who love it, and none of my attempts to caution them were as successful as just sending them the Wikipedia page for AI hallucinations

THREAD The first full year of tracking research on @bsky.app Hi, we are Altmetric, and we track how research is communicated across the web. We now have one full calendar year of Bluesky research data and thought we'd have a looksie.

Just saw this video from Kagi www.youtube.com/watch?v=af0O... Small Web search toggle and a dedicated Small Web page that's basically StumbleUpon with tabs for videos and comics

Royal Commission into why a hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer.

Royal Commission into whether there's a bear in there, with secondary questions about the bear as well.

A Royal Commission into whether US forces give the nod.

A Royal Commission into whether anyone knows what John Laws means

A patient Australian magpie mother (Gymnorhina tibicen) feeds a very insistent juvenile.

Royal Commission into whether Jan's boss is still not happy.

"Data on ethnic origins, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, as well as genetic or biometric information, could be transferred under the framework agreement for EBSPs, according to a Commission document outlining its negotiating position" This is madness.

Apparently to achieve social cohesion in Australia you have to ensure the delicate sensitivies of bullying Zionists aren’t offended.

I deeply resent emergency services for refusing to leave Twitter. I don’t want to need to lurk there anymore to see the updates

Here👇is a screenshot of Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah’s statement in response to her shameful & cowardly ‘dis-invitation’ from the AF Board (supported by the equally appalling SA State Premier #PeterMalinauskas) #AdelaideWritersWeek #AdelaideFestival #Adelaide #Boycott #Auspol #SAparli

The Australia Institute pulling out of Adelaide Writers Fest following their cancellation of Dr Rabda Abdel-Fattah

Had anything like this happened before in Australia? A Royal Commissioner appointed through negotiation with bad-faith actors, details leaked out via extremist activists journalists?

Who sits on this subcommittee? Who are these external experts? What issues are they advising on, exactly? Which relevant government agencies?

Randa Abdel-Fattah uninvited from Adelaide Writers’ Week, because of Bondi, even though they "do not suggest in any way that Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah’s or her writings have any connection with the tragedy at Bondi." She just can't come anymore. Because Bondi. www.adelaidefestival.com.au/news/2025/ad...

Australian Adelaide Writers Week cancelling a writer for the crime of being anti-genocide and anti-land theft, site opens with a statement acknowledging the festival taking place on stolen land for bonus irony. www.adelaidefestival.com.au/news/2025/ad...

The kind of alarm clock we all need this week

‘Atom’ comes from the Greek word ‘atomos,’ which means “indivisible.’ Hindsight is 20/20.

Feels like things are getting exponentially crazier

Royce with a judicious dissection of Ezra Klein's reactionary treatise, Abundance.

We were meant to be taking a break but nobody knows how to behave anymore so we are back with an episode on Venezuela!

New with @regret.bsky.social: Grok’s creation of harmful “undress” images is relentless. Even today, after days of scrutiny, Grok was churning out ‘bikini’ and underwear images of women every few seconds. Researchers estimate that Grok has become the biggest creator of sexualized deepfake images

The Unitary Mobster Doctrine of Constitutional Law

Had to do a screengrab of the actual headline

"This isn’t the same as calling this a “war for oil.” It’s more an invitation to oligarchs to join in his conception, such as it is, of the future world order" ^^ a very important distinction

Here’s a fun top five: things that are consensus among historians but are essentially unknown by the public. Richard I, a bad king of England. Roman Empire, fell in 1453. Paul, more important than Jesus. Witch burning, a modern phenomenon not a medieval one. Britain last invaded in 1688. Yours?

In the last video, I confessed: I infiltrated a racist dating site and let extremists fall in love with a computer. Now, let’s talk about the founder. Her name’s not really “Liv.” But she did make one mistake - a very German one. #antifa #whitedate #nazislol #investigative
