One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

'There's no justice': Outrage as Jake Danby walks after fatal hit-and-run A fatal hit-and-run case in Darwin has exposed deep disparities in the NT’s justice system, say Aboriginal leaders, as the victim’s family speaks out.

"left for dead on a Darwin road by a driver who did not stop to help, and then later sent text messages to his friends describing the victim as an "oxygen thief" and a "dog"."

This passes for justice, in the N.T. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

I'm willing to bet that SCOTUS does overturn the tariffs, but it'll be for some monumentally corrupt reason, like Brett Kavanaugh is trying to renovate Mt. Misery Farm into his vacation home and lumber is too expensive.

@StephenM on X: The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks. 04 Oct 25

Here is Stephen Miler of the Trump administration targeting "far-left Democrat judges" and accusing them of shielding "leftwing terrorism." This was YESTERDAY.

Opinion | Autism Has Always Existed. We Haven’t Always Called It Autism.

This is your must read of the day.

"The neurogeneticist Stanley Nelson once said, 'If you had 100 kids with autism, you could have 100 different genetic causes.'
Researchers increasingly believe the search for a cause of a singular 'autism' is misguided. There are autisms, rather than just autism."

I refuse to accept the colloquial/common usage of “anarchy” that is a synonym for “disorder, chaos, complete lawlessness.” It’s just not what the word actually means. Sorry

Fascism is not anarchism. That not how those words work.

many people in my generation weren't diagnosed as kids who would be today. that's what we mean by the criteria broadened. figuring it out as adults. quoted video is why I think that's helpful

We know about Robodebt because recipients 'blew the whistle' on their debts to concerned community activists, who were the first ones to raise this publicly.

Let me be 10,000% clear, this is because welfare recipients were the ones who were targeted and victimised by Robodebt.

'Where does a pensioner get $550?' Man goes without cancer scans Victorian pensioner Eddie Rushforth says he does not know whether his bowel cancer has returned because he cannot afford the cost of the scans.

Our universal healthcare is being eroded. The Morrison government made a whole load of changes to Medicare that the Albo government hasn't reversed. People over 55 are one of the biggest costs to Medicare. It economical to let them die.
