*taps nose*

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

My 70 year old dad, whose favorite band is The Righteous Brothers, just informed me that he enjoyed the Bad Bunny show bc even though he didn’t understand the words, “it seemed like everyone on stage was having a good time!” So there ya go lol.

A very productive and inspiring meeting today with members of the delegation from the German government. As the meeting continued it became increasingly obvious that they are the most progressive government in Europe if not the world in wanting to redress the sins of the past.

Absolutely huge crowd in Melbourne right now. People from all backgrounds, ages and professions - united in opposition to genocide and war. This is what social cohesion looks like.

I remember when there were actual sales and things genuinely got decently marked down.

ICE are definitely leaking stuff to journalists though because they’re not getting paid. He probably knows someone who tells him things they learn.

In India protests erupted over PM being named in the Epstein files. /

Right here right now. #FreePalestine.

I went out before today's Herzog protest at Parliament and saw this massive police surveillance tower. This is completely unnecessary, and intimidating, at a peaceful protest. Police need to be protecting protesters, not snooping on them, or attacking them.

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

From a presentation I gave a few months ago on how to handle personal cyber security while doing journalism safely during a protest

Gonna be a wet protest in brissy! We got flood warnings

In 2022 we sometimes saw multiple platforms halt withdrawals in quick succession as prices collapsed and firms went bankrupt — particularly clustered around the implosions of systemically critical companies/projects like Terra (May 2022), 3 Arrows Capital (June), and FTX (November).

Platforms limiting or halting withdrawals is reminiscient of the 2022 crypto crash, when falling crypto prices exposed crypto firms that had been engaging in highly risky or sometimes illegal behavior.

🥰🥰🥰

Thousands of people come out again and again to show they’re on the right side of history.

Always have to bring this back to the people affected. This is what they're paying providers billions of dollars to (unlawfully) do bsky.app/profile/mkla...

New from me: Why won't the government switch off the unlawful mutual obligations system? FOI documents reveal a ramshackle Department that's scrambling to cover legal messes, preserve industry profits, and pretend that punishment is policy thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Flinders Street Station - 5 PM today.

Some personal news

Alexis might need some work! She got fired for doing her job

Rain expected on goldy tonight… should be a relaxing night for sleeping

Hahahaahhaahahha omfg first time in a Tesla and he had to open door for me and instruct me how to leave WTF the most unintuitive door functions ever

I can tell. But the bots first appeared as text bots on X when Musk took over. Now they have fake video content to legitimise their promotions.

I’m sort of glad these files didn’t come out in other parts of history so I can still exist in my naivety and admire some male scholars.

The fact the national gov in America think loosely organised, anti fascist protests are a huge conspiracy actually speaks to how communities and good people will organise to protect each other. That ALONE should motivate people to see each other as ultimately good people.

Is it rude to sit in the back of an Uber (in Australia)? I’m not feeling chatty

I did a 40-50 article literature review on how text based reading and writing affects emotions and emotional interpretation messaging… Just want to remind people that writing ANYTHING with your hand, with pen or pencil, can have a therapeutic effect. Doesn’t matter what it is

Okay listening to the entire Pam Bondi hearing and she just keeps flattering how organised and effective protests are in Minneapolis and Minnesota 🤷🏻‍♀️ She said it’s unprecedented and never seen before! So, well done!😁🤭

Albanese can pay better tribute by fucking thinking about and enacting what Jon wanted for his fellow man.

I am so tired

I love being made to feel pure rage on the way to school dropoff, Raf. I had to explain to my son that I was angry because "they're lying to everyone because they want to steal land from brown people again." "That's bad, dad". My fucking 8 year old gets it. Do you?

lol donald trump invaded venezuela and captured maduro all so that they’d stop sending oil to cuba and start sending it to israel jesus christ man its just too ridiculous

This will seriously disrupt aid getting into the county. Any country that even wants to pretend to care about Cuba and sovereignty needs to bring jet fuel to Cuba immediately

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Disgusting interview with Jeremy Liebler on thr ABC this morning, filled with Orwellian abuse of truth, in service of a colonial slaughter and conquest. It's a minor casualty compared to most of this era, but I miss being able to listen to the radio without being throttled w/ propaganda

Leftists being quiet about Cuba will be noticed by me. edition.cnn.com/2026/02/09/a... www.cbc.ca/news/world/c...

What’s missing is the particulars that come with patriarchy. Systems protect white men, they protect hierarchies of wealth and perceived race. It’s not as simple as women are equal to men because in the system of the West they aren’t. Money can insulate them from SOME consequences but it doesn’t

OMG what a revelation … sigh

I will fight any internalised misogyny I will fight any internalised misogyny I will fight any internalised misogyny

Rob… you need a group of people to schedule you, organise your life, but not dress you clearly (you’ve got your own magnificent King style). And Rob’s not kidding. He’s a King.

Bold idea: we should work less, or work as much as we want…and still be able to stay alive, be fed, have healthcare, education, and have proper housing. Can you imagine if we didn’t have to monetise basic human rights? I wonder who benefits from monetising our lives? Shocking thoughts, I know.

We don’t believe the exaggerated hype that it’s a new entity. It’s not that we don’t take it seriously; we don’t think it’s “intelligent”. It’ll still replace some jobs but those jobs were often being outsourced anyway. It’ll never have the human creativity needed to deliver effective MH therapy.

Nordacious helps makes the right people famous ☺️

Rapier (left). There’s nothing quite like the feeling of landing a perfect thrust, which traps the opponent’s sword. But I’m better with a broadsword (right).

When I read the title of this one I thought it was going elsewhere.

i am increasingly bothered by terms like "showdown" or "face-off" or "clash" when used to describe corrupt and fascist power coming up against resistance because there's an implied symmetry that does not exist.

!!! That you?!
