Go back to watch this. It’s absolutely spot on. The massive jump in ON’s numbers isn’t “natural.” It is very likely an anomaly reflecting massive social media distortion. Manipulating algorithms? Overseas disinformation factories. Who is paying for it? Gina’s money @ Advance? Or? #Auspol

#PeteWhishWilson Nobody is talking about this... We all need to wake up to this! The rise of #OneNation is so off the charts it defies usual political explanations. #Greens won't let this potential foreign interference slide by unchecked. Nothing less than our democracy is at stake. #AUSPOL

I always tell people this: It's not good enough to not be racist; you have to be anti-racist! If someone is being racist around you and you don't call them out on it then you are no better and you're giving them tacit approval. Be better!

"There was a lot of men sitting right next to that man and they were just looking up and looking back down at their phones," she said. "No one helped her, which is really, really, really disappointing."

kinda hate when people say that water usage of AI data centers isn't a big deal because on a global level it's technically true, but water supplies are localized, and neighborhoods & towns with data centers frequently report shutoffs, contamination, and the like.

"A bunch of people would rather post on Race War Now Dot Swastika rather than Bluesky because you keep making fun of their imaginary computer friend" is a RESOUNDING endorsement for the concept of hostility.

Part of a thread from some bluecheck: Multiple people I know have told me that they love the idea of Bluesky, and want it to succeed, but have abandoned it for X because the use agentic tools in their work and find them incredibly useful, and feel that any mention of their usage here leads to hate and ridicule. I wouldn't bring this up if it was just one person, but it was multiple people since the beginning of August who mentioned in passing something to the effect of either "I'd spend more time on Bluesky if people weren't so anti-AI" *or* "As much as I hate to be there all the useful AI talk is on X." I'm not saying it's anyone's responsibility to praise AI usage. I agree with much of the criticism of the tool. But for many, many people, it is a useful tech (I have talked about the ways I find it extraordinarily useful, only to have people here mock me, insisting my lived experience is a lie). I am just noting that for all the people here who say that people should get off X and spend more time here, the reason I keep hearing from people in various circles who would *like* to do that, but don't, is the vociferous belief of many here that there are no possible positive uses of AI.
