This is it. Word slurry formed into answer-shaped chunks. This is what Sam Altman says is now smarter than we are.

she is a grifter who realised she could make more money being a second rate pollie than working hard in a fish & chip shop. And she'll get a bloody good super to boot. The political system is rotten.

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes.

When govts want to do something, they do it.
When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse.

No one here should fall for it

Collisions matter!

Thank you, @compoundchem.com! 👇

👍💯 AI is an intrusive unwelcome guest for people who like to think for themselves.

The climate predictions that were wrong were the ones by the contrarians/deniers during the post-1998 “hiatus”. They said temperatures would start to fall as part of a natural cycle.

This will not age well......

"We are told that AI is inevitable, that we must adapt or be left behind. But universities are not tech companies. Our role is to foster critical thinking, not to follow industry trends uncritically." www.ru.nl/en/research/...

then stop funding the NT police - let there be consequences as asked for by First Nations people.

Where's the condemnation, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social.

Where's the sanctions—the total arms embargo, navy on its way to break the siege, cancellation of all trade agreements until the illegal occupation, the apartheid, the genocide stop?

OR still too far away for you to judge?

Watt & Albanese made their choice. History will NOT be kind.
Climate criminals. We are already in a climate emergency.

Think they can fool physics? Science doesn’t care what you think. Pouring more carbon into our one and only biosphere will cause longer, hotter, more frequent: heatwaves, droughts

North West Shelf final approval a climate, economic and energy security disaster Australia Institute analysis shows today's final approval of the 45-year expansion of Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export terminal is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations.

The final approval of the 45-year expansion of Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export terminal is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations.

It will undermine the nation's energy security, drive up energy prices & is the greatest giveaway of Australian natural resources ever.

Guess where former defence ministers are? 👀

The revolving door is a real obstacle to good governance and it should be SHUT.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

Quokka's are sooooooo cute

The Productivity Commission’s interim report, ‘Harnessing data and digital technology’, is a blueprint for the wholesale theft of Australia’s art, media, and cultural heritage that will do nothing more than further enrich the billionaires in Silicon Valley.

"thanks to another of the poisonous legacies of the ill-fated, yet damaging, Morrison govt, the fees to undertake a basic arts degree in the low-cost humanities have skyrocketed to $50,000."

But worse is the Albanese govt's failure to act.
As with #AUKUS, they are too comfortable with LNP poison.

The Morrison and then Albanese governments have provided next to no rationale for the huge #AUKUS commitment.

The strategic objectives, the cost-benefit, the likelihood of delivery...all are dodgy at best.

Yet there is ONE certainty; several ex-ministers are set to benefit personally. #auspol

Taxpayers face $500 million bill to clean up Chevron’s WA oil field Even as new environmental impacts from offshore oil and gas facilities are emerging, also emerging is the full extent of clean-up costs – and who is liable.

Taxpayers face $500 million bill to clean up Chevron’s WA oil field

Serious Question:

How dumb are we?

$500 million gift to Chevron to clean up the mess it promised it would never make in an A Class Nature Reserve.

UN ends Australia mission after inspectors barred from jails The UN says Australia was in ‘clear breach’ of its obligations under a UN protocol on torture.

The United Nations has suspended its anti-torture mission to Australia after inspectors were not allowed to visit several jails and detention facilities in the country, with a top official in New South Wales state justifying the blocking of the UN panel.

What is the answer here, @albomp.bsky.social? Did you know about this relationship? This is the group that spewed massive #Disinformation against #Indigenous people in #TheVoice campaign. Are you ok with this, or didn't you check?

Victoria's draconian new anti-protest laws will have a chilling effect on free speech — and won't keep anyone safe Far-reaching anti-protest measures and giving police more repressive powers only serve to increase the risk of escalating violence.

It is so remarkable how brazenly transparent this stuff is. It's already illegal to firebomb a synagogue. There is no evidence that the firebombing was caused by people protesting against genocide.

Yet Australian governments have zero hesitation in exploiting these attacks to justify repression

Inquiry finds British committed genocide on Indigenous Australians It is the country's first formal "truth-telling" inquiry that ran for four years from 2021.

The world we know was built on mass killings, weaponised disease, sexual violence, cultural erasure, and slavery.

And genocide *always* went hand-in-hand with ecocide.

You won't understand what's happening globally today if you don't understand these basic facts.
