Equality of education, healthcare and life opportunities for all.
The environment is humanity's hope for the future
Music is life
I don't think I ever watched an episode of Star Trek (science fiction isn't my thing), but I thought casting a Russian while the Cold War was still raging, to make the point that humans would get along better in the future, was a lovely touch.
Stop giving Pauline Hanson, Barnaby Joyce, Matt Canavan, Peta Credlin and the rest of the hatemongers a platform, ABC.
Give it to the crossbench, who are doing good work. Put positive pressure on Labor, instead of stoking division
From Carnegie to Claude: AI wealth could reshape philanthropy.
Anthropic says it will commit 5% of its shares to a new Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a stake that could be worth around $100 billion if the company reaches the $2 trillion valuation expected at its stock market debut

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"
A moment of reflection, praise & appreciation for the heroic nurses & doctors working in Gaza under horrific conditions & to their thousands of colleagues who died serving the victims of a genocide being committed by the terrorist state of israel. WE SALUTE YOU!!
#FreePalestine
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot
A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead:

Let's hope that Helen Haines makes a full recovery and this country's politicians grow up and act like adults towards each other. The press needs to calm down and reflect on what and how they report on issues.
The masked settlers, armed with clubs, smashed a Belgian diplomat’s car’s window, our activist’s car’s taillight and shoved to the floor a French mayor. The army was called but never came
We call everyone to stop Israel’s crimes and join us in solidarity of the Palestinian people

This little Palestinian girl was pulled out of a burning building your Israeli mates bombed. She lost her parents.
When will you get off your arse and Sanction Israel expel diplomats!
STOP SUPPLYING THE F-35 RELEASE MECHANISM FOR THE BOMBS
"Double standards are pretty standard in Australia – so standard that the past couple of weeks have been full of them in politics and barely an eyebrow has been raised" writes @amyremeikis.bsky.social

“It’s a bully-boy tactic!” That’s corruption-busting barrister Geoffrey Watson SC’s description of @albomp.bsky.social’s new secrecy tactic of taking #FOI winners to court, and exposing those winners to hundreds of thousands in legal costs. #DontWinAnFOI#auspol
It’s quite extraordinary Angus Taylor was critical of Mike Pezzullo being stripped of his Order of Australia. Perhaps Angus hasn’t read Lynelle Briggs’ report into his conduct that I obtained under #FOI … or he lacks judgement. #insiders#auspol
Such a treat to visit an Australian icon, genius polymath and very dear friend, Barry Jones AC yesterday, ahead of Barry turning 94 today.
We talked science, research, climate, and politics. There was a bit to cover…
Trump: "There's never been anybody in the history of the Nobel Prize that deserves it more. I settled eight wars. I stopped the total obliteration of the world."
I've been revisiting Isaac Asimov's Foundation series and what that great writer said about humanity's future. One quote stands out and is pertinent today still.
"Violence is the last refuge of the competent"
If only that could be true now and for the past 100 or more years.
🚨 BREAKING: The family of Renee Good and her partner, Rebecca Good, have filed two federal lawsuits over Good’s January killing by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis.

Ok so during the Presidents Cup golf tournament, the International team were greeted with boos when they were introduced and then shouted at in the middle of the golf swing. What the hell is happening in the USA ? Is Trump's rudeness and crassness infecting people ?
Or have you always been parochial to the point of bad manners with foreigners? I know that's not the case with visitors who seem to be well received elsewhere. Is it just sport ? And don't get me started on the moronic USA USA USA !! chant. Anyway just looking for answers.
Where's the Royal Commission into gendered violence @albomp.bsky.social ?
Outranks the need for one into the hurt feelings of a tiny minority who are genocide supporters by a factor of 100
100 - the minimum number of women murdered by men every year
So when are we getting fair dinkum?
THREE MORE WOMEN
I'll bet courts granted useless printed paper protections instead of ankle monitors and a stay in custody...
but suddenly look at all the police available when they are killed🤬
