Bree and her child thought they would end up on the street. Broke and out of options. The ACT Rent Relief Fund saved them. That fund was Quietly axed on July 4. Just $1.7M a year. 💔 Hundreds helped. Now—nothing. ✍️ Sign: tinyurl.com/3ebd5rsk More: canberradaily.com.au/rent-relief-...

My family lost a baby at Auschwitz. I can’t see how our child is any different from those being killed in Gaza. One of the most personal things I’ve ever written — about grief, conscience, and complicity. Read: thebigsmoke.com.au/2025/08/01/g...

Topsy turvy when some of the most accurate & poignant commentary comes from a spoof website. However, I personally value The Betoota Advocate mob for shining a light on the profound hypocrisies here. @betootaadvocate.bsky.social

I beg to differ. The internet and free speech absolutism is an unmitigated disaster. It’s a one way ticket to authoritarian hell.

This take by @wsj.com is bananas. Peoples whole lives and communities are being destroyed by authoritarian raids…and these journos are worried about sales of Coke? Have some decorum/empathy in how you report.

We tend to treat democratic failure as a political crisis. But beneath that is something deeper, an epistemic collapse. When people no longer trust truth, institutions, or each other, politics becomes symbolic performance, and democracy can’t function like that.

This is not just an American story. It’s a preview. And the question for every other democracy is simple: Do you adapt now, or do nothing and slide into authoritarianism?

In its place: an algorithmic chaos where every citizen is a broadcaster, every feed a battleground, and every truth contestable. We didn’t design for this. We didn’t adapt in time. And now the cracks are widening

An excellent article from my friend and colleague Ginger Gorman about the ethical considerations of using ChatGPT as an 'AI wife'. My thoughts in the article below.

If you’re calling ChatGPT your “AI wife”, congrats—you’ve just outsourced centuries of women's unpaid emotional & mental labour. 🧠 But at what ethical cost? 👉 Read my latest: womensagenda.com.au/latest/the-e... With @julesbaird.bsky.social @traceyspicer.bsky.social @womensagenda.bsky.social
