Hope all your people are ok

I'm so tired of hearing that we need to "teach our students how to use AI" when the thing they most need to use it is a critical-thinking skill set that can only be acquired by NOT using it. I'm tired of hearing that it's inevitable. I'm tired.

If the author of a dystopian climate novel wrote these words from the US department of Energy, they would be accused of fantasy alarmism or fossil fuel sexism. But here we are…

You know how AUKUS doesn’t make sense. Well it kind of does. End AUKUS.

Spotify used to seem like a necessary evil for musicians. Now it just seems evil | David Bridie I am removing my music from Spotify because I don’t want my songs – some written with survivors of conflict – to enrich people who fund weapons

David Bridie, Aus music legend of Not Drowning Waving and My Friend the Chocolate Cake, is removing his music from Spotify.

Brilliant articulation here

Love this!

The former Attorney General of Israel, Michael Benyair is now calling Israel's actions in Gaza genocide.

"To eternal shame. Jews, who suffered a genocide 80 years ago, are committing genocide in Gaza. Shame, rage, and sorrow"

Very valuable, thank you

Sensible analysis of this awful situation.

Greens voters and members and supporters overwhelmingly support trans rights and human rights, and expect the party to do so, too.

Thank you. That’s one of the most sensible takes on this whole unpleasant saga that I’ve seen.

this is an excerpt of a transcript from a LEAN webinar a while ago when Henry was asked whether offsets were a way to allow fossil fuels to continue polluting.

I always get a lot from your writing and work. Thank you

The Magic of Showing Up 720 Weeks On 79th and Cottage Grove

A truly gorgeous meditation by @prisonculture.bsky.social

The seeds of the new world are growing everywhere in the cracks of the old.

What are you doing to feed them? What are doing, with others, to help them grow?

I do firmly believe that refusing to outsource your basic cognitive functions to LLMs right now - as so many are stumbling over themselves to do right now, like hogs trotting to a pile of slop that’s been set up inside of a butcher’s delivery truck - will very much pay off in a few years.

Starvation is a deliberate tactic

Lying about the tactics is a deliberate strategy

Attacking those who call it out is a deliberate strategy

In a healthy society, someone who posted this would be afraid to walk the streets.

They would live in constant terror, flinching at every loud noise and shrinking back from even their most mild-mannered neighbours.

Truly he is

There was no Uncle Kev in the list. That’s when I decided not to vote. Seriously, Thou Shalt Not Steal should be taught it every school.

The things all of you were told were 'the way things are' it turns out were actually built on sand. This seems lost on quite a few people.

We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. For many months, these independent journalists have been the world's eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering. Journalists endure many deprivations and hardships in warzones. We are deeply alarmed that the threat of starvation is now one of them. We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there.

BREAKING: JOINT STATEMENT FROM REUTERS, BBC NEWS, ASSOCIATED PRESS & AFP.

Warning that their staff face death by starvation in Gaza.

Horrifying and unprecedented.
