I would rather the govt reinvest in public servants and build professional capacity and stop paying the big consultancy firms to serve up AI slop instead.

He's not an archaeologist or a researcher as far as I can tell - just a youtuber. He lists no qualifications on his website.

You're welcome. I love them - they feel like native Christmas tree to me, since they flower at this time of year. And the birds are rainbow lorikeets (though you probably already know that). I can't remember seeing many when I was younger, but they have found a niche in the city in the past decade.

It's a silky oak, a type of grevillia (Aust. native).

Apparently she has a daughter who is around 14. I wonder what her reaction is to this.

She's not wearing her cross necklace today. The burning feeling on her skin must have become too uncomfortable.

Exactly. It's just what people call themselves on LinkedIn .

Really enjoying the #AC/DC concert at the MCG tonight - and I didn‘t even have to leave home in Hawthorn. They just played Highway to Hell. Awesome.

AI usually means Arseholes Involved. It’s a thieving, hollowing and unethical beast of a thing. It has no place in an ethical, decent society. It has no place in Hookland and never will.

He can't even read the title on the cover.

That's ... not The Iliad.

Black and white photo of a young Rosalind Franklin in a lab. She wears a plaid dress and is holding what appear to be two sample dishes, one in each hand. There is a lab bench next to her with glassware and other lab equipment. Franklin is looking to her left, at something outside the frame of the photo.

Rosalind Franklin was born #OTD in 1920. Her X-ray diffraction work was critical for establishing the helical nature of DNA. 👩‍🔬 🧪

Work carried out by Franklin (with doctoral student Raymond Gosling) was given to Watson and Crick without her consent.

Born #OnThisDay in 1867 was Marie Skłodowska–Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the only woman to win twice and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two disciplines: Physics for her work on radioactivity, and Chemistry for her discovery of radium and polonium. #WomenInSTEM

Just noticed they've decorated the lectern with the gold carbuncles like it's been borrowed from the oval office.

Milk bars! Just checked Wikipedia to discover they’re not just Australian. But the entry also says Aus milk bars sold fast food like fish & chips. Never! Fish & chip shops sold fish & chips; milk bars sold milk, bread, groceries & lollies. Family lived in same building, behind the shop. No cats.

1. Ocean Rain - Echo & the Bunnymen

This one was hard - can't believe I'm putting Echo & the Bunnymen third. Expect Purple Rain will win it.

Just going by snippets from the report, it seems to me that if you follow these recommendations, you're fighting the last war, not the next one. So much ground seems to have shifted already in the past few months.

Does he mean his employees? Is this what he has planned for them? Indentured employment on some remote asteroid or in an orbiting warehouse, Corporation Rim-style?

I love a good sci-fi adventure/space opera as much as the next girl, but living in space isn’t going to be jetting between civilizations on lush planets through a twinkling night sky. It means living in a cramped windowless hulk drifting through a cold vacuum-a larger version of the Titan sub. Nope.

Deadly strain of bird flu suspected on remote Australian island Suspected bird flu has reached Australia's sub-Antarctic Heard Island, with signs of the deadly H5 avian disease observed in elephant seals.

I’m not necessarily a fan of Rudd or the deal, & despise Trump, but I am appalled at a journo deliberately undermining our ambassador & PM in front of the US president during trade negotiations just for the sake of scoring a headline & a few chuckles at home.

People have said worse things about Trump & are now his VP & Sec of State, so I don’t think Trump will really care what Rudd said. In fact, he loves it when people who have criticised him then have to apologise & bow to him. It feeds his ego to see those he knows hate him forced to be obsequious.

Aussies Unsure Whether to Be Relieved Or Embarrassed — The Shovel In the wake of Albanese’s successful meeting with Donald Trump overnight, Australians everywhere have noted a weird feeling in their stomach that is one part relief, one part embarrassment, and a thou...

"On one hand I'm glad we didn't get Zelenskied, but at the same time... I wish we got Zelenskied," said one Australian, who had to call in sick from work after seeing the news this morning.
