Covid aftermath still a long, exhausting haul Business owner and entrepreneur Jenene Crossan’s new normal reads like the script from a horror movie, yet she considers herself one of the lucky ones.

“The misinformation and disinformation is insane [...] It’s challenging, but I know I come from a position of privilege, so I feel I have a responsibility ... it’s really hard to get people to be seen with long Covid because they just don’t want the abuse”

How much water does AI consume? The public deserves to know Air pollution and carbon emissions are well-known environmental costs of AI. But water consumption is also an issue.

AI’s water usage is concerning. Water scarcity is a challenge dealing with a growing population, depleting water resources, and ageing water infrastructures. The concern is also about how AI developers respond to the challenge of water shortage. Thanks to @moisesjafet.com‬. 🧪

One in four people have criminal records. Many more got into trouble with the police at some point. Can we let people move on and contribute to society (and reduce the number of people with records)?

Former Indigenous NSW Police officers allege they were forced out of job Two Indigenous former NSW Police officers tell the ABC the force's overtly racist culture is contributing to the increasingly high incarceration rate of First Nations people.
