I wonder if the technology made by overt genocidal fascists by stealing all human creation in the world that we know of that heats the planet while poisoning the water, air, and our very minds, in order to deskill us and control us, technology that doesn't even work good, is inherently fascist

having thought about this for three days, my current status is: what the FUCK are we doing trying to ban social media for kids and not banning AI use? we are literally telling them not to use the computer to talk to their real friends but instead to the imaginary technology monetisable 'friends'.

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

Maybe it’s time to fucking tax mega corps properly already

It's easy to assume that anything you can buy in a shop, find in your house or apply to your body must be safe Because they wouldn't be allowed to sell it if it wasn't, right? I mean, someone must have tested it, right? Wrong

After repeatedly arguing it wouldn't trade away biosecurity standards to assuage Trump, the government now argues it is satisfied with improvements in US cattle traceability.

Most "fresh" food travels thousands of kilometres to be sorted, divvied up and, in some cases, sent back to the place it came from — at huge cost to farmers and shoppers. But some new options are starting to sprout.

'it's not a step backwards but a bit of a strategic realignment' 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ so many thoughts on this, might add later but seriously - shouldn't we be working out the how we meet it rather than the 'if we can'?? #agsky #netzero www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2...

Loving this article on how the demands of everyday life — the here and now — can overwhelm us, leaving little time to think about the long term and what we are working toward. This is like trying to run a business without a strategy. hbr.org/2023/12/use-...

No idea why media still depicts Nats as a farmers party. They are a mining party beholden to coal and gas interests and funded by Gina Rinehart. When there is a conflict between farmers and fossil fuels, they always back fossil fuels. Their opposition to wind is to protect fossil fuels for longer.

'With a predicted increase of severe weather in the face of climate change, they say it's possible the disease will pop up in areas where it hasn't been recorded before and numbers could steadily increase'

I've got an amazing story about this one. Let me tell you all about how "If you've done nothing wrong you've got nothing to worry about" almost got me charged with unlawful possession of a minigun. 1/?

#ICYMI A piece I wrote for @australia.theguardian.com about the relentless drought that has been marching across southern Australia (with apologies to folks in Tas & WA who are also affected) #agsky #droughtsky #climatesky www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Adelaide peeps - During this terrible drought, we are seeing a lot of dead trees. Flinders Uni is collecting reports of tree dieback. So, if you spot a dead or dying street tree, take a photo and report it here ... qualtrics.flinders.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_...

May. No Autumn rain to report. No rain. None. Seems to be a thing as the #rainsky feed is empty... Thinking of all the #agsky people across southern Aus 🙈😬🤞🤞

The declining trend in rainfall is associated with higher surface atmospheric pressure in the region & a shift in large-scale weather patterns. There have been more highs, fewer lows & a reduction in the number of rain-producing lows. #ClimateChange #Auspol www.bom.gov.au/climate/drou...

Beyond Meat - Net revenue for Q1 2025 was $68.7 million, a drop of 9.1% from the same period a year earlier, and net losses were $52.9 million, about flat with a net loss of $54.4 million for the year-earlier period. #agsky

So in the wake of #auspol, and with our seat of Bendigo still in limbo (11.9% swing from ALP to Nat 😳), I would love to see something like this where we actually use technology to improve democracy! Read the 🧵 👇 - incredible vision and even better outcomes:
