Excellent from @privateeyenews.bsky.social

Interesting point in this article is that the press persists in pandering to Hanson’s incompetence rather than questioning her as they would other career politicians - making her account for her ludicrously unworkable & regressive ‘policies’. Lambie is infantilised in the same way.

This is so disturbing. An Australian AI porn site is producing child sexual abuse material and Australian authorities had no idea until the ABC journo reported it to them. The proprietors should be in jail www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

Conservatives having a totally normal reaction to the Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship. This is co-founder of The Federalist Sean Davis:

Recipients of EMDR barred from seeking justice re sexual assault: ‘the legal system's approach to EMDR was based on a 1995 case in which the defence argued EMDR and hypnosis should be treated the same. "But a lot has changed since then. The NHMRC endorses EMDR…”’ www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

Excellent news - a Norwegian political party is pushing for a total ban on face-worn hidden cameras ("pervert glasses" is the official term).

Scammers who advertised on Meta platforms groomed one victim for months. Her online research found articles validating their advice. “Within two days, my entire (Meta) social media had been thrown over to trading tips”. She lost £43k on a pump & dump scam. Unrecoverable apple.news/AfRQnzob6Qje...

“Uncritical defensiveness of religion without regard for human welfare can lead to religious fundamentalism” and that’s guaranteed to lead to extremism, exploitation and abuse

Joined the Times Tech Report to dive into OpenAI's audited financials, AI companies burying costs in sales and marketing, and that the fact we have to debate AI's ROI four years and a trillion plus dollars in is proof that this industry is a bubble. youtu.be/UnLRb-sU-Is?...

Yeah, I’m into this henge you probably haven’t heard of. It’s pretty underground.

“In Australia, child sexual abuse material is defined as… a sexualised depiction of a person, or a representation of a person, who is or appears to be a child. “The material doesn't need to show a real person. Cartoons, anime, and text conversations can break the law” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

"The first thing to say is monoculturalism is a fiction … All societies have differences in them" Pauline Hanson despises all forms of culture. By monoculture she means a white supremacist shift back to policies that increase racial oppression

“The most important thing in school is that our children ​learn to read, write and do mathematics”💡

"Happy Bloomsday" Uhhh this is incredibly insensitive towards people who lack interiority. Maybe consider who your celebration of stream of consciousness narration is excluding

Boston's bars have stocked up on their beer shipments, as they prepare to host Scottish fans for a second time in a week. Some bars nearly ran out of beer last weekend when Scotland played their first World Cup match in 28 years and fans descended on the city. Scotland face Morocco later today.

Australia just gave that away 🙄

I love this. Unmute.

As use shifts from chatbots to agents and AI companies begin to charge for use of their tools rather than to give them away, reality begins to bite the bubble.

I thought Trump’s Iran war achieved a lot: installed a more extreme regime in Iran, destabilised the global economy, set fire to tens of billions of US taxpayer dollars, raised arms manufacturers’ stock prices, and accelerated the shift to renewable energy. Not bad in just a matter of weeks

Someone described my paper as "generative"

I paid good money to see this thing so that you don’t have to. And look, it’s spectacular in its ability to undermine a great director’s legacy. It’s so embarrassingly awful and filled with pointless guff - just cringe after cringe

In a few weeks it'll be exactly ten years since I published this, and it feels like much of it is either still relevant or way worse, in Australia ketanjoshi.co/2016/07/09/b...

“Australia should be a monoculture” says the least cultured person in this country leading an anti-cultural rabble of halfwit bigots. What she means is that she’s opposed to all culture, like she’s opposed to everything constructive and healthy in society, and opposed to progress of any kind

GetUp’s Hanson banner is quite a good homage to Banksy’s painting + shredder performance piece www.youtube.com/shorts/hd0Ch...

This photo is one of the earliest photographic portraits of a human being ever made, and also - maybe - the second known self-portrait in history. The man looking back at you is Robert Cornelius, who took this in late 1839, in the yard behind his family's business in Philadelphia.
