MEDIA RELEASE: SA Premier spreads gas industry misinformation Premier Peter Malinauskas told an event sponsored by the gas lobby that a new gas project in Narrabri, NSW, is needed to firm up SA's electricity supply. Our research, using the government’s own data, proves this is simply not true.

Duckworth: "Let's make it clear -- the President of the United States essentially just declared war on a major city in his own nation. This is not normal. This is not acceptable behavior."

Someone hung a Chicago flag off the end of the pier, never thought that would choke me up

“Anti-mandate” was anti-vaccine all along. It is time for media to acknowledge that there is a coordinated right-wing effort to destroy public health in America. It is a well-funded effort. And it’s rooted in representing major business interests.

Attention fellow AUSTRALIANS! 🇦🇺 We now have an official petition to parliament to STOP MASTERCARD and VISA from its campaign of censorship, restricting what legal products we can buy. Please sign it now, and if you're not an Aussie, spread the word! www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Described as slow, arbitrary, and expensive, the freedom of information system has been criticised for more than a decade. Read Dan Holmes’ article in The Mandarin about why the proposed FOI changes may be ineffective in improving transparency to the Australian public. #auspol

So CNN had Ben Shapiro on to participate in one of its round table news discussions. This is what capitulation looks like.

This summit promotes anti-Jewish racism, while claiming to combat it. Send an email to your councillors asking them not to attend. www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/08/camp...

Spot on. Once people get used to suck things it becomes "normal". Once this happens, the pressure can be turned up and it is still "normal".

I will also add that largely as a result of this right-wing ratfucking that helped reelect Trump, we never mounted a real COVID response. The virus is still circulating, killing, and disabling people. We never made necessary changes—like clean indoor air for workplaces and schools. We should tho.

Last thing: Adding to the inevitability of the herd immunity/anti-vax alliance, both camps (falsely) claim their views were suppressed by the powers that be. It adds a layer of conspiratorial appeal. And to be clear: I don’t normally watch Klein’s show. It was sent to me by a friend and colleague.

This is such a great analogy of fascism being “a theory of action.” It doesn’t flow from its own logic. It uses whatever it needs to create a narrative in order to meet its own ends of preserving class rule and discipline the working class for war. 🧵1/2

Circular retail is not just about what we buy, but how and where we buy it.

LLMs are fancy "fill in the gaps" machines. They can do a lot, but filling in gaps isn't really thought.

John Searle: In my paper I presented the Chinese Room as a refutation of computer intelligence Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Chinese Room from the classic philosophy-of-science paper, Don’t Bother Trying To Create The Chinese Room

Believing that requires an optimistically expansive idea of an LLM's capabilities coupled with a regressive view of what a human mind is capable of, which probably explains why so many of them fall back on "What, so a human mind never makes mistakes?"

Because what the LLM is doing when it uses mathematical regression to string together a series of symbols that per its model statistically resembles an answer... well, it's doing all that. And it's only doing that.

Lmao. They're trying to steer a riverboat up a creek.

They might do the same thing in December when Australia's under-16s social media ban kicks in

I can only use Bluesky now on my home WiFi since it looks like my cell provider routes through Mississippi servers at some point. This is the dumbest timeline.

“The goal is to try to show how terrible the first-past-the-post system is. And it's disruptful, and there is collateral damage to a certain extent, but I feel like at this point it's the best way to provoke change.” -Indy candidate Nicola Zoghbi www.cbc.ca/radio/frontb...

TW: Suicide, self-harm, substance abuse & eating disorders 🚨 NEW: ChatGPT is betraying vulnerable teens by giving dangerous advice within minutes of interacting with it – with no safeguards. We tested OpenAI’s platform & found it generated harmful answers to over HALF of 1.2K prompts 🧵

Good to see Treasury agrees! Last month the Greens called for the Treasurer’s upcoming Roundtable to shift our economy to better help mothers re-enter the workforce. Our current tax system means a second parent, usually a mum, works additional days for virtually no take home pay.

Great read from Australian Manufacturing discussing the impact of the east coast gas exports on domestic energy prices. New Australia Institute research shows that east coast wholesale gas prices have more than tripled since large-scale gas exports started in 2015. #auspol

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points: •Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus •Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

Inspiring as ever

Some ways to convince people (or at least get them out of your way): - the government should spend my tax money on things I want - trying to control people's medical care / relationships / etc is weird and intrusive vt.tiktok.com/ZSSDEjNUo/

Grindr was banning "no Zionists" in user profiles, but allows all sorts of other "preferences". Could be an app worth boycotting, there are better alternatives. vt.tiktok.com/ZSSDJXQBs/

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

The Midtown Manhattan shooting was PREVENTABLE. No one is safe until we confront unfettered access to firearms, including weapons of war. No one is safe until we confront the question of WHY the gun industry wants this, and why our spineless “leaders” fail to act.

In a landmark victory, Saint Lucia has decriminalized consensual same-sex conduct. The decision strikes down laws that criminalized intimacy between same-sex partners, which are discriminatory and inconsistent with international human rights standards.

It's a hard sell, but more politicians would be good for Aus: * Deeper talent pool for committees & ministries * More access - most Aussies have never interacted with their local MP * Reverses the growing physical size of rural electorates Since 1980s, Aus added +11 million people and no new MPs.

Scientists have been trying to understand the vocalizations of birds—and discovering that the animals have intellectual abilities far greater than most people had imagined.

Inflation is at its lowest level since March 2021, so will the RBA finally act? The latest inflation data shows that the RBA should've cut rates in July, argues @grogsgamut.bsky.social on the latest Dollars & Sense. #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/4fgwy45
