Indonesia's human rights activist Munir Said Thalib would have been 59 today. Twenty years after his murder, the architects of his killing remain free. Impunity still triumphs over justice.

Critical aunty studies: an auntroduction Though aunties are ubiquitous figures across global public cultures, they have received limited scholarly attention. Given the location of these women, femme, and queer figures at the periphery of ...

Australia – case study 1
The Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) investigated
a minor (who was 16 years at the time of offending)
following initial reporting they were mobilising to commit
an act of ideologically motivated violent extremism (IMVE).
JCTTs exist in all states and territories of Australia
and consist of the Australian Federal Police (AFP),
the relevant State or Territory Police, the Australian
Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) and, in
New South Wales (NSW), the NSW Crime Commission.
The minor was part of a loosely connected online
network involving hundreds of local and international
participants, some of whom shared similar IMVE
ideologies. The minor was sharing IMVE documents,
images and videos, and advocating for attacks
on persons of non-Caucasian appearance, and urged
others to prepare for an upcoming race war to
β€˜defend the white race’. This included discussing carrying
out a mass killing offshore, posting about live-streaming
a shooting on Facebook, requesting assistance in
bomb-making, praising mass shooters, and suggesting
the targeting of β€˜high profile enemies’.
During the JCTT investigation, the minor was observed
to have very few real-world relationships which consisted
primarily of work colleagues and family members.
He did not participate in any extra-curricular activities
and appeared to spend limited time socialising offline.
The risk of the minor undertaking some form of physical
attack was assessed as too great, so the AFP moved
to overt resolution. The minor was charged with
advocating terrorism and urging violence against
members or groups. The arrest of the minor and
dissemination of intelligence to international partners
also led to the arrest of a person of interest offshore
who had links to the minor’s Telegram posting.
The minor was sentenced to an 18-month term
of imprisonment with a non-parole period of
14 months. Upon sentence expiry, the minor was
an adult and was released into the community on
an Interim Control Or…

The two Australian case studies in the Five Eyes release today about youth radicalisation are both white supremacist/far right radicalisation examples... The spy agencies tend to be a bit reluctant to call this out in isolation because of the politics around it. www.asio.gov.au/system/files...

This is interesting and not something I considered from the optical bands perspective.

Have thought about this before in terms of radio bands, because RF transmissions (even the secret ones) have footprints that overlap with radio telescopes.

If receiver freq. is there, then so is encrypted data.

It's such a huge time sucker, and once you start attacking it the extent of it can be shocking. I've made a habit of putting my phone away when I get home from work for the few hours I get to share with my girls of an evening before bed

This is the beginning of the end of the generative AI boom Nvidia is shedding value, OpenAI is sputtering, dubious generative AI ads are flooding the market, and signs point to a deflating tech bubble. The great degeneration begins.

Is the generative AI bubble showing signs of cracks ? For me an AI-free social network is a feature, not a bug.

I like how Bluesky makes it possible to label AI content (example: @aimod.social ) and hope it gets better and stricter on AI-generated content detection.

Two years and three months Another Israeli airstrike has hit central Beirut. My social media feeds are filled with images of fiery explosions, collapsed buildings, a crater in the ground and frantic rescue workers. At least …

Earlier this week, my 3rd son, Levi, was 2years & 3months old, the same age Isaac was when he died.

From now on, my firstborn child is my youngest.

Each new milestone brings new #Grief . This year has brought new triggers. Here's some stuff I wrote about it.
