I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

We keep telling the government - we don't want automated robo-debt, or data centres everywhere, or aged-care assessment by algorithm, or non-professional NDIS decisions. Employ real people. Pay real wages. Fix hospitals & schools. Tax the squillionaires & giant companies. Can't be any clearer.

Penny Allman-Payne@pennyallmanpayne.com

Older people have been saying this for months. Labor's automation of aged care assessments has been a disaster, under-assessing need and priority, denying care and driving up waitlists. It's past time to bin the whole thing and put humans back in charge of decision-making.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

"We had never actually seen the full manuscript until we basically had to beg for it in June of 2026," with the book set to be published just three months later, Matari told MEE. That's when they discovered several changes had been made to their manuscript.

Pretty sure it was the second tutorial of first year Psychology where we learned about Forer Statements aka The Barnum Effect. These are textbook. That someone like this is so credulous to fall for it from AI says so much about executive leaders today.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

As anti-Zionist Jews, we oppose both the US and Israeli government’s campaigns of destroying Indigenous land and life. A free Palestine is a world where each life is precious — a place where every human and every plant can thrive without fear of being killed, uprooted, or destroyed.

It is really just a testament to how the impatience of the data centre boom is a key element in why it is so aggressively and actively driving fossil fuels. The grid is a collective ideological project perfect for wind / solar. The off-grid data centre boom is an individualistic project
