Had the stage two meeting with UniSuper rep this morning - the semi-serious one before shelling out semi-serious bucks for actual formal advice. Now chasing down ATO statements and the like. It's on!

Math has publication fraud, too. For a long time, mathematicians thought that as long as they keep away from predatory journals or paper mills, the problem does not affect them. This turned out to be wrong.

Deloitte's $440,000 report to DEWR on Targeted Compliance Framework issues was subsequently released, and found to be riven with AI-hallucinated references to non-existent social security law papers and hallucinated legal analysis. #ThePeopleVSRobodebt #PeopleVSRobodebt www.afr.com/companies/pr...

Hmm…

A lot of people worked for years to expose the scandal of Robodebt. But the big lie of ‘mutual obligation’ is still official policy in Australia. Until we treat people seeking help with respect, this stuff will continue

Didn't even make it onto the vinyl version of Heyday, although was the B-side to the single release of Tantalized. The View written and sung by Mary Willson-Piper always sounded to me like a lost Flying Nun track. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adhw...

What is up with his teeth? He looks like the Trivago guy.

Psst - they're movies, not documentaries.

More than $2m for a panic-driven decision, which we've seen consistently in cases of silencing of workers who've spoken out against Israel's actions. Employers who have an attachment to principle, rather than perceived expediency, wouldn't make the same mistake.
