This is why Musk bought the White House for Trump in 2024. The level of corruption going on inside government is off the charts and I’m sure when this nightmare is over the true extent of that corruption will be way beyond our worst fears 😲🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Thanks to the MorePerfectUS team for the clip.

I acknowledge the traditional owners of this land on which I live, the melukerdee people of the South East Nation. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Please post & repost (ad infinitum), even if you're not Australian or in Australia. If you're as horrified as many of us are, that this could happen here in Australia, for the reasons that it did, don't be. It's not the first time & won't be the last but we cannot let it stop us speaking out.
This is Australia.🇦🇺 8 police officers smashed her door open at 5am. What did she do, she went to a protest, and throw a water bottle. #Auspol
Nate Cavanaugh has gone viral recently for his taped deposition about DOGE eliminating "DEI" grants. He's also a key figure in our story from last year. We found that he helped expose a sensitive Afghanistan program, leading to a brutal Taliban crackdown.
DOGE Targeted Him on Social Media. Then the Taliban Took His Family.
Afghan scholar Mohammad Halimi, who fled the Taliban in 2021, had worked to help U.S. diplomats understand his homeland. Then DOGE put his family’s lives at risk by exposing his sensitive work for a U...

says it all really: "the idea of continuing to give big miners a diesel fuel rebate rather than doing more to help Australian consumers switch to renewable energy was “insane”"
Remember this next time anyone in the govt says they can’t afford to raise the rate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
"got comfortable with the contractual language" 😩 with an organisation that renamed itself the Dept of War !!
I saw some folks asking what the difference was between what OpenAI signed with the DoD and what Anthropic said they wanted, and Sam more or less admits here the key point: OpenAI's deal requires them to trust the NSA. Anthropic's contract had real safeguards.
if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying
If Russia and China conspired to destroy the U.S. military with a Manchurian candidate I don't think they could have picked a better choice than Hegseth. The damage he's doing will take decades to fix.
Secretary Hegseth announced this afternoon that DOD will cease ALL graduate study by military personnel at universities including MIT, all the Ivies, Stanford, etc because such schools teach "the enemy's wicked ideology" to officers. thehill.com/policy/defen...
One of numerous reasons why continuing to use Twitter has gone from being kinda gross to being profoundly unethical and immoral.

What conservatives did to Bud Light in 2023, that's what progressives should do to ChatGPT in 2026. OpenAI is so vulnerable right now. With enough pressure, I think it's actually possible to take the whole company down. quitgpt.org

Countless opeds about Mamdani being a "socialist" and are literally any of those publications talking about Donald Trump not just claiming to take over a country but deciding what companies are allowed/not allowed to operate in that foreign country?

When it comes to climate change, politicians still aren’t acting in the best interests of young people & future generations. We need to act now if we want to protect the people & places we love. The duopoly will never put you & the 🌏 before their greed. #FossilFuel induced #ClimateChange #Auspol

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.
