One reason I donate to #Wikipedia. More, though, is that without doubt, it's going to hit by a tsunami of suppression very soon, as it's anathema to all that the Trumpist regime and its techbro billionaire fanboys stand for. Without global support, it will be destroyed. 1/4

What happens when a war criminal and a felon decide on a definition of "peace" during a GENOCIDE and the world applauds? 500,000 people remain trapped in less than 8 square kilometres in Gaza City, with famine spreading and, the urgent need for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid corridors

Worth watching Senators Hanson-Young, Henderson and Pocock call the Productivity Commission out on the BS underpinning their Interim Report on AI and Data, based on estimates of productivity impacts for AI when they don't even know the productivity of the creative industry (2.5% of GDP). #auspol

An important piece... What if it's not social media? What if it's global warming/cost of living/ unaffordable housing and the steady erosion of the job market for young people? As the mother of two 20-somethings with a wide circle of friends ... I see it first-hand. www.smh.com.au/national/wha...

In Canberras Parliament House nearly a quarter of all registered lobbyists are from the fossil fuel industry. Yet FF workers represent only 1% of the workforce. Could explain why even new MPs fire back FF talking points when we visit them ie ‘gas is a clean transition fuel’.

“Trump’s U.N. speech was a textbook example of what’s come to be known in science communication circles as the ‘gish gallop,’ wherein anti-science promoters attempt to overwhelm you with a fire hose of plausible-sounding but fundamentally false claims and talking points.” — @michaelemann.bsky.social

Hence what I wrote here on how the UK OSA’s general monitoring obligation for terrorist content is a problem. It provides the legal model for politicised _pre-publication_ censorship of anyone the demon spooge of Stornoway declares a terrorist. internet.exchangepoint.tech/the-dog-that...

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.
