This performative charity PR exercise for a commercial company is really offensive. On seeing Marles all I can think of is the hundreds of millions he’s handed to the US that could helped Australians in need

The Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal is bringing a little bit of joy to Australian families doing it tough. And that’s something our whole Parliament can support.

"...a dependency on equipment you buy once is very different from a dependency on fuel you buy every month. When a shipping lane closes, a fuel-importing economy feels it within days. If solar panel exports stopped tomorrow, the panels already installed would keep generating for decades."

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

Awesome. Now turn all police stations into public spaces, permanently. Turn them into libraries and day cares and open office space and Internet cafes.

It’s probably not a coincidence we’ve seen the same across all channels in Britain in the past 15 years, a period notable for relentless revelations of sex crimes by politicians, policemen and prominent public figures.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

I got the email in this story too... so ChatGPT is telling them to email me also (which explains the growing frequency of such emails). One of the Insta subreddits put my email up as a contact for these sorts of stories, which is where I assumed it was coming from.

Fighting patriarchy contributes to fighting fascism. And vice versa.

Elaine Crory@elainecrory.bsky.social

This is becoming a common pattern worldwide and if you're wondering it's because facism and patriarchy are twins.

The three primary axes of oppression are race, class and gender. In Brazil, in the USA, in the UK, in Australia: the fascist base are white, rich and male. As per usual.

First they erased a ‘Protect the Dolls’ t-shirt from Strictly Come Dancing. Now they’ve erased Pride badges from University Challenge. The BBC are saying that our visibility as LGBTQ people is a political issue. Meanwhile they’ve commissioned a 2-part series on JK Rowling. Impartial? My arse!

NEW: Anthropic’s filing appears to partly walk back the co-founders’ pledge to commit 80% of their personal equity holdings in the AI startup to philanthropic causes. Those acts, the filing suggests, are “voluntary, revocable expressions” that “do not constitute binding obligations.”
