Seriously, "leftie" journos in that room, where. the . fuck. are. you? It might be time to put ethics and morality ahead of your career prospects. This is a holocaust and a fascistic assault on democracy in the West. And you're just gonna sit there quietly? Go fuck yourself.

Last week I read The Sirens' Call from @chrislhayes.bsky.social. It made me think about the relationships between social media platforms, attention, and choice, and how much of our lives we unconsciously surrender to algorithms.

As of a few hours ago, the last boat in the flotilla has been illegally intercepted by Israeli forces. But there is still much to celebrate:

Let's be clear a what's happening here: the "censorship" and "bias" narrative is being extended to Wikipedia bc the far right knows that getting bullshit into LLMs is how to shape reality as "answer engines" replace search engines.

Wikipedia is core to that fight so the grievance blitz is here.

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

Wow! Lying to a Senate inquiry takes some gumption.

NACC Chief Paul Brereton believes he is above public service standards.

Is this what Australians expect from someone heading up our national anti-corruption body?

Brereton should resign, imo. He's personally compromised (defence), completely stuffed up the Robodebt investigation (and had personal connections with those involved), and his NACC has produced nothing else of any significance, despite thousands of referrals.
