We cannot meaningfully separate everyday usage of “AI” from the machine of death and war. If you’re upset by the military-industrial complex? These tools feed it; they *are* it.

Albanese, the Ayatollah, & Australia's Apartheid A masterclass in "turning the temperature down"

I wrote about the war on Iran, the racist colonial narratives that suffuse it, the rank obscenity and stupidity of it all but especially that of the Australian government’s response so far. sakr.substack.com/p/albanese-t...

Quick reminder: the proportion of private schools which are fully funded or overfunded by the state is officially 98%. The proportion of public schools of which the same is true is 2%. This was a couple of years ago so it's definitely gotten worse.

The NT court is telling everyone you are allowed to murder Indigenous people with your car, and you don't even lose your licence.

Oh thanks, I'm so glad! Decent albums are absolutely critical to my writing process 🙏

How You Been, by SML 13 track album

SML's How You Been was one of my favourite albums of last year. Good kind of chaos, there's a lot going on: intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/how-yo...

For Olivia, by Jessica Carlton Quintet 4 track album

Locking in because I have a manuscript to finish so here's the 2026 listening thread 🧵

Jessica is an incredible jazz trumpet player and this EP is lush and expansive (perfect for floating through space). 'Egerny' is my favourite track.
