Shanghai platform door stats are off the hook. Look how fast they installed them and how much impact it had.

Evidence Grows That Google's AI Overviews Have Eviscerated the Media Industry Google's AI overviews have eviscerated the media landscape, with some top publications losing up to 97 percent of their web traffic.

Welp. The internet had a nice run.

Some outlets have lost over 90% of their traffic since the "AI" summaries rolled out.

"...the four worst-hit publications [now] get less monthly web traffic combined than the r/ChatGPT subreddit gets on its own."

We need to rethink our love affair with big vehicles It's time for U.S. drivers to have difficult conversations about the data showing the dangers of large vehicles like pickup trucks and SUVs.

If Trump wants Zelenskyy’s help against drones, I think JD Vance to have to fly to Kiev, and sit in the Ukrainian equivalent of the Oval Office and say, “Thank you.”

Strengthen public education to boost social cohesion

Australia’s school system is becoming more socially segregated. Private school enrolments have grown rapidly over the past two decades, while most public schools remain underfunded — weakening one of the country’s strongest institutions for social cohesion. satpa.pe/hRFLFpd

😂 ex-One Nation campaign director Craig Kelly showing PHON’s big-city arrogance.

1. Rural INDs have run & won in orange in Albury-Wodonga region since 2013:

-before Pauline in Senate (2016)
-before PHON reg’d in NSW (2018)
-before PHON contested Indi/Farrer (2022)
-before “teals” existed (2022)

Piss off Ford. Only offering oversized gas guzzlers sounds like a you problem.

So let me get this straight ...

1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil

So by extension US is providing Iran with intelligence to attack US. Given US use of AI, that’s probably not such a problem

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

It’s hard to properly convey the lunacy of these proposals to people outside aerospace.

Reflect wants to put gigantic mirrors in orbit and beam down sunlight at nighttime.

SpaceX wants a million more starlink sats.

If either of these actually happens, space will be unusable.

Uh...not an e-bike

Definitely not an e-bike

WAY MORE THAN HALF THE STORIES ABOUT DEATHS CAUSED BY E-BIKES DO NOT INVOLVE E-BIKES. THIS IS KIND OF IMPORTANT.

Another fossil fuel subsidy

Relying on domestic fossil fuels linked to global prices is also a risky strategy.
