Petition: We will not be divided after Bondi. Add your name: jewishcouncil.good.do/unity/jewish...

Get on board. The @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social is a great and important organisation jewishcouncil.good.do/unity/jewish...

The treatment of the hunger strikers by the British state is truly barbarous they've been convicted of no crime, are being held w/o trial, & have been on remand for over twice the remand custody limit they've been subject to degrading & humiliating treatment, & are now in a critical state

Zuhrah is in a critical condition, now on day 50 of her hunger strike she could die aged only 20. In 1981, Irish republican Martin Hurson died on day 46. The government has refused to engage & reverse the decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.

"A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult."

Which is, I should say, really freaking cool in my opinion, but it does drastically narrow a LLMs' utility, a limitation which is being ignored by the flimflam salespeople who have fooled so many others into integrating it into all aspects of academia and commerce.

Gen AI does not process concepts. It tokenizes words and then performs matrix math on those tokens. The tokens have no semantic value or context (beyond the matrix math), only syntactic.

Delighted to hear that The Invisible Doctrine, the film by @peterhutchison.bsky.social and @lucas-sabean.bsky.social, is being offered free to view on YouTube for the holiday season. It's all yours! youtu.be/gR4eSEetKP0

Yup 😢

This really sucks, and we are underestimating the massive demand for AI-free *anything* out there. It's a massive cultural, political and business opportunity, though one that'll require effort and the skills of old-school journalism, verification and fact-checking

Yup..

Powerful words and petition from the @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social. Please read and consider signing. #auspol #nswpol #antisemitism #racism #GunViolence #diversity #community jewishcouncil.good.do/unity/jewish...

And I am really over lazy or complicit journalist writing shit like "The Jewish Australian community feels..." When they are almost always quoting the self-appointed bodies and individuals who are 'representing' the views of Australian Jews far less than the talking points of Benjamin Netanyahu.

WTAF US now killing its own kids

BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Since there seems to be files getting deleted from the Epstein release, I've made all four dataset zip files available for download. These are the files as they were originally released. (Downloaded within minutes of them being made public) ~3GB in size drive.proton.me/urls/P0XVG30...

There is, "incompetence," level stupid, and then there is, "Oh my god, you must work for the Trump Administration," level stupid.

On this day (Dec 21) in 1990, the United Naions General Assembly said yes to a "International Negotiating Committee" to bash out the text of a global climate treaty... allouryesterdays.info/2025/12/20/d...

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

i quit my last job to avoid working on underwhelming AI features that no one wants. That's an option.

Some has been worse than others, but the essential through-line among all of them is just shrugging off the fact that THERE IS NOTHING TO INDICATE PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS LED TO THE ATTACKS as if that question is so tiny and irrelevant it can be fully ignored archive.ph/7t5VL

December 20, 1969 - newspaper article headlined "Scientists Caution on Changes In Climate as Result of Pollution” The first in Google News’s archives to unambiguously use the phrase “global warming” to describe the phenomena. allouryesterdays.info/2024/12/19/d...

Public buildings will be increasingly important as cool, safe gathering places during heatwaves and other extreme weather events, which people (mostly the global rich) are making more frequent and severe through climate change, largely by burning fossil fuels. h/t @chrisbaraniuk.com

No, 2025 is the year that the future of energy became assured by the fastest transition in human history was locked in bsky.app/profile/prof... Businesses committing to not pursuing net zero will lose advantage and money Fossil fuels end when we decide they do Next 5 years will look like this

And it's not just the disease deaths of babies that RFK Jnr & his idiot minions will cause. It's miscarriages, stillbirths, sterilisation, child brain injury & suffering to survivors. Millions used to die, we fixed it, & toxic male ego is going to make millions die again. Vax up, it's coming.

"we articulate how catalysing influence amongst wealthy people, associating low-carbon lifestyles with wellbeing, and promoting the adoption of low-carbon technologies can support emissions equity for net-zero."

Mainstream media launders power. It's been decades since it's held it to account.

The corollary being Desmond Tutu's "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor" ...

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

Save the State Library rally in Melbourne is still on! Join us there 12.30 tomorrow (Saturday) to find out what happened & what needs to happen now. The execs who want to cut staff & services & put giant video screens in the dome remain in charge. Spread the word! www.theage.com.au/culture/book...

Over the last two years, the number of people sleeping on the streets in Barcelona has increased by 43%. It is devastating to see. This has occurred under the government of @jaumecollboni.bsky.social. Totally unacceptable and depraved. Bring back @adacolau.bsky.social !

In case it isn't clear: this is personal for me. It is intensely infuriating to see the physical infrastructure we fought to defend against the dull-brained right-wing chuds now being claimed as the product of.....what? Free market magic? The Abundance Agenda?

Net Zero or ground zero for NSW government who’ve approved 100% of the eight coal mine expansions put before it since being elected with 18 further coal expansions currently proposed. www.lockthegate.org.au/clear_findin...

Gonna be telling all my family members thinking of going to the US that they do NOT have my permission to give out my personal telephone numbers (or home address) to any Tom, Dick or Donald for their holiday.

That's next years trip to the US cancelled now, the invitation from 2 of our American friends is now dead in the water. Looks like they will be coming to us instead, and probably not returning to the US, more refugees to join those who have already arrived just lately.

As a US citizen, who left the US in 2016, I will not, in my lifetime ever return. There is no way, in the decades I have left, that they would be able to fix the damage and loss of civil liberties, even after the regime falls. Civil rights are hard won, and once lost, even harder to get back

- All business phone numbers from the last 5 years - All business email addresses from the last 10 years. 🚨NOTE: these are just the requirement from non-VISA (ESTA) countries. The demands from everywhere else will be likely even worse. Tourism is (was!) worth $2.3 TRILLION to the US economy.

The full list of demands, in all its lunacy, is available here: 👉 public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22461.pdf The demands include : - All your biometrics: face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris - All your phone numbers from the last 5 years - All your email addresses from the last 10 years 2/

An immense privilege to hear the truths & wisdom of Wet'Suwet'en's Chief Na'moks & Gitxsan's Gwii Lok'im Gibuu at their historic visit of Wurundjeri land in Naarm 🙏 to @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social, @thejuicemedia.com, @australianinstitute.org.au, & Uncle Robbie Thorpe for making this happen

Everywhere they operate, WoodCIDE buys political influence, nauseatingly sycophantic media coverage, & social license to smooth the way for their land, air, water, sea & climate-destroying fossil fuel fuckery They have reaped global disgust, contempt & resistance #FuckWoodside

Proprietary battery designs are annoying. I just discovered that you can get adapters to use the same battery across different power tools, even with different voltages (they have built-in DC-to-DC converters) and different brands. Game changer!

Yes! A great start but the same people are still, astonishingly, running the State Library of Melbourne. They're not saying, 'we were wrong' but 'you don't understand it, so we'll re-word it'. Rally tomorrow Saturday, at Library 12.30! We must stiffen our spines! (Ba ha ha, books, I'm very tired.)
