Mainstream media shoving A.I. down people’s throats. Burn it all down

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.

Legal issues a another one Zionist calling out criticism of atrocity as anti-semitism. An own goal by Albo letting Segal anywhere near this issue.

More good news

The ‘lucky country’ wasn’t a compliment. Horne was making the point that our natural resource-based wealth was shaping the national character unfavourably. This is more and more evident. Complacency, selfishness and wilful ignorance. ’Luck’ for some is at the expense of everyone else. #auspol

Good times. S&T and Avalon Hill put out some excellent games. I also remember GDW with fondness. Good times.

Exactly. But Albanese tries to stay friends with the big end of town while making no big changes in policy to help the struggling demographic. If you want to see why One Nation is growing in popularity look to the failings of the duopoly.

So among Putin and Trump-backed candidates in Central and Eastern Europe we now have Orban as well as Vucic driven out of power by the kind of popular mobilisation that Putin and Trump do not seem psychologically equipped to understand

Always it is someone else's fault we lost. The real reason is for all parties that lose an election....you are on the nose, we don't support you and you policies any more. Defeated parties never say 'We made mistakes. We will listen. We will be back'.

Vučić’s defeat could mark a geopolitical turning point for Serbia. It could also inject fresh momentum into EU enlargement across the W. Balkans, where progress has stalled for years. A Serbia firmly anchored in Europe would transform the region’s outlook and significantly weaken Russia’s influence

This has been evident for years. Keating was touting regional alliances in the 1990s then the conservatives got back into power www.facebook.com/share/v/19wj...

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Ruminating today on the French Revolution. I find it difficult to have any less than sympathy for the peasantry in the countryside involved in the Great Fear folling the fall of the Bastille. The plethora of feudal dues they owed left them permanently living in abject poverty.

Nailed it.

Sternenko is a credible person. Elon Musk has been found to have a pathological disregard for the truth and repeatedly gives perjured testimony under oath. Who would you believe? In any event, the truth is easily discernible through objective means.

Raised a little chuckle first thing this a.m.

To be clear, it's the equivalent of burning more than 110,000kilograms of coal per HOUR. #Auspol #Climate Change

Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump are responsible. Hint, they both are!

Our new dish washer has a Bluetooth function where we can control the machine from our phone. Although touted as something that would make us buy the machine it will never be used. Water saving capability was our 1st priority. We are still capable of walking.

Surrendering our capabilities to AI. Excellent discussion on Star Talk. www.facebook.com/share/v/1U4x...

Ronni Salt really names the issue this nation's leaders and too many men refuse to confront - The violence we still refuse to name theshot.net.au/news/opinion...

22 October 1937. Duke and Duchess of Windsor arrived at the Berghof, Adolf Hitler’s mountain retreat, to meet the German dictator. British Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden and George VI were opposed to the visit, feeling it would be exploited by Nazi propaganda.

22 October 1962. US President John F Kennedy announced during a National TV address that US reconnaissance planes had discovered Soviet missiles and bases in Cuba. In response he announced that he was ordering a naval “quarantine” of Cuba.

This delusional Pauline Hanson acolyte left this racist piece of crap on my blog. Australia never was, nor will it ever be, a “white” country…

22 October 1935 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Abraham Henselein, was born in Amsterdam. He was murdered in a gas chamber of the #Auschwitz camp after the selection on 7 October 1942. --- A short video about the first two gas chambers created near Auschwitz II-Birkenau: https://youtu.be/Rr6lF75fDmU

22 October 1881 | A Dutch Jewish woman, Reintjen van Gelder-de Jong, was born in Apeldoorn. She arrived at #Auschwitz on 5 September 1944 in a transport of 1,019 Jews deported from #Westerbork. She was murdered in a gas chamber right after the selection.

Today is Duodi the 2nd of Brumaire in the year 235. Brumaire is the month of mist. Today we celebrate celery. #JacobinDay See today's page

“The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.” ― Carl Sagan

Memorials to the British and Irish have been up in the Caribbean for decades (google Inniskilling monument St Lucia for instance) but if you are concerned about memorials in the UK, I'm sure the Revolutionary snd Napoleonic graves charity would appreciate a donation www.nrwgc.com

Disappointment. That is just the start for me. There was so much that could have been done to really change this country.

🚨🚨 "We thought this was a war and the destruction of #Ukraine but it turns out to be an act of humanity. Now we will die and bury our children knowing that this is an act of humanity " Ice-cold reactions from #kyiv residents to #witkoff's Putin praise. kyivindependent.com/just-hours-a...

Real dilemma on who to believe there, given Musk's sterling reputation

If we want to 'take the temperature down' in Australia, a really good start would be blocking X entirely, and making the algorithm opt-in on all Meta platforms. As a side benefit we'd also be slightly reducing the income of the fascist billionaires Musk and Zuckerberg

Near Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Russian troops engaged in combat inside Soviet-era pipelines at distances as close as 4 meters from each other.

The US government can not be trusted.

Australia is a secular country. We do not need any type of religion in our politics. Let people with faith worship how they want...in private. Your faith does not make my rules or dictate my values.

I am mainly a non-fiction reader. I do enjoy SF and Terry Pratchett. I find it gard to get into historical fiction. For example the Sharpe series of Bernard Cornwall. O'Brien's is good but I just can not get enough of Jobert.

Alas, they won't. I discussed the chud-history alt-right Twitter ecosystem a while back for the Bulwark here: www.thebulwark.com/p/why-stone-...

Socks and sandals are nothing new! These well-preserved woollen socks from Egypt feature a split-toe design allowing them to be worn with thonged sandals to keep toes cosy in chilly weather some 1,500 years ago! 🩴🧦 V&A Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

A reminder, Russia was responsible for the shooting down on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 which killed 27 Australians. And this is our AUKUS partner with whom according to Richard Marles we have "shared values"

“It’s their party again,” a Coalition source tells Jason Koutsoukis. "The real worry is that this time they have enough power, and enough muscle, and enough desire, to actually drive the moderates out of the party altogether.” trib.al/vzP1yQ2
