The newly amalgamated Adelaide University brings utter shame upon itself in its first months of operation. In a statement following this shocking act, it risibly claims it is a place where "exchange of ideas can happen freely". Not if the ideas include a defence of the remaining Gazans, it seems.

Remember the western media's constant refrain that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was "unprovoked" â despite years of documented western provocations. Iran did nothing to provoke the Israeli-US attack. Yet notice this: not one media outlet has described the attack as "unprovoked".

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as âpreventiveâ is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of whatâs happening as anything else than a crime. You donât have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

The "most moral army in the world" captured a Gazan doctor at a hospital, tortured him, then brought him a tablet showing a livestream of his home, called in a strike that killed his six-month-pregnant wife, and made him watch until the rescue crew pulled her body from the rubble.

What we found is obvious to you, but it needed to be formalised and analysed and fact-checked thoroughly for everyone else: When AI is presented as a "net climate benefit", it's a false coupling of old machine learning with new, explosive single-use slop firehose dominating tech today.
