He also said this... about taking responsibility for the deaths /in the streets/ of seven aid workers.

Israeli ambassador Hillel Newman said there was no intention to kill innocent civilians, & therefore there was “no criminal liability”on the IDF soldiers. We express deep sorrow and grief with the family. To apologise has all kinds of legal ramifications shorturl.at/znG9l

I was just talking with @grubreport.bsky.social about how AI has become a slur/insult for high schoolers. That's probably the biggest thing tech companies didn't anticipate. Once you lose the younger generation, you're not getting them back.

“everybody shames people for using AI” “it continuously is dumbing down just the whole community within school in general” “i think it should stand for artificial idiot” i had the pleasure of talking about AI with some particularly thoughtful, healthily cynical kids. here's what they had to say:

That money you spend on Harry Potter garbage goes to suing Amnesty International on behalf of ex-spouses of trans people who call themselves "trans widows."

Miffythegamer@miffythegamer.bsky.social · last mo.

In my opinion, this is litigious thuggery. Amnesty spoke their truth and it hurt the feelings of the anti-trans brigade. TERFs destroy everything they touch. I mean, imagine suing Amnesty, of all organisations?

Fornication is the perfect word fornication like this.

this is a masterpiece

What with Stephen Colbert’s leave-taking, Thomas Massie’s concession speech, and the Miles Franklin Award longlist, I am more than ever convinced of the pleasing stupidity of people who have never heard of the Streisand Effect.

Multiple women serving sentences for nonviolent crimes at the minimum security prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving time were punished for speaking to reporters about the special treatment Maxwell receives. At least two women were transferred to higher security facilities as punishment.

I co-wrote a thing! This is my first article for The Conversation @theconversation.com, co-written with my colleague at @utas.edu.au Professor Robyn Cox. Does your child only read graphic novels? That’s OK – it’s helping them build literacy skills theconversation.com/does-your-ch...

Does your child only read graphic novels? That’s OK – it’s helping them build literacy skills

A common question goes something like: how do I get my child to read something other than comics or graphic novels? But the answer might be: you don’t have to.

With the booing at Anzac Day services, it's worth remembering it was Gina Rinehart's disinformation group "Advance" that ran a clinical anti-Welcome to Country campaign immediately before last year's dawn services (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/liberals-adv...

"when you’re in the midst of an email barrage, or getting terrible threatening DMs and the writers are copping it as well. You basically just want it to go away. And I can appreciate the easiest way for that to happen is to just get rid of the writer – but that is never going to be the solution.”

I think I’ve hit my limit. I’m so tired of having Trump in my head. Yesterday, in between meeting work deadlines, I spent the day weeping for James Valentine and wondering why we only seem to lose the good ones. In other news, my beautiful dad would have been 98 today.

Naming your biology LLM after Rosalind Franklin is… hell is not hot enough

The entire issue with the NDIS is that a generation of Australians (including almost everyone working in the political media) have become indoctrinated to believe the private sector is more efficient than the private sector. Privatize disability care? What *could* go wrong???

Today I learned my dad was saying "a wigwam for a goose's bridle" not BRIDAL and now I have to rethink everything I have ever held to be true.

Marcus Kelson@marcuskelson.bsky.social · 4mo ago

When I was growing up and we had a roast lamb, any left overs mum would cut up, batter and fry and call it mock duck - also she used a term to describe mind your own business - it’s a wigwam for a goose’s bridle - I’m now questioning my upbringing - also this may be typically Australian :)

Randa Abdel-Fattah. Grace Tame. Yassmin Abdel-Magied. Brittany Higgins. Antoinette Lattouf. Jacinda Ardern. In Opposition, Anthony Albanese offered the Nation a Royal Commission into the Australian media. Now that Albanese is in power, maybe it's all become too difficult. 😑

A data analysis by @ettemedia.bsky.social shows just how insane the Australian campaign against Randa Abdel-Fattah has been. www.ettemedia.com/exclusive-me...

Harrassment of women is the Oz's raison d'etre, but even by their standards this hate campaign against Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah is off the charts. I have known Randa for more than 20 years, and I fear deeply for her safety.

Tim Lyons@picketer.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Bonkers. Average of 3 articles a week in The Oz over 2.5 years about Abdel- Fattah. Average of more than one front page story a month.

In case you need a reminder that there is still goodness in the world.

I’m really missing my dad right now. Although I am so grateful he’s not around to see this hellhole we’ve made of the world.

Not long after DT first came into power, I had a dream of him letting loose a nuclear bomb. And now here we go. Nice knowing you.

It’s been downhill ever since

Reading a headline on a celebrity man's take on how men can be better. Last time I saw him he was 'joking' to a big corporate gig audience, rating pupils at girls' schools of Melbourne. He said one school's girls were OK to have sex with, another provided girlfriends & one had girls you married.
