Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.
They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.
But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.
RIP, Jamal.

Hugely recommend this video if you need an hour of hearing reasonable people address how cognitive dissonance has formed around Covid, but the funniest part is when the interviewer asks how you talk to denialists to avoid triggering it and the multi-specialist psychologist is like…fuck if I know.
Ah, yes; as we all know, when you say something objectively wrong and someone corrects you, that is, in fact, "word choice policing."
I got a lot out of this recent video with @michael-hoerger.bsky.social about the psychology behind people's defensiveness re: Covid.

NEW: ChatGPT allows Google to index chats users share using the Share functionality - presumably misinterpreting "make this chat discoverable". The result? Frank admissions about sex lives and drug dependencies. My latest for @fastcompany.com www.fastcompany.com/91376687/goo... tip @techmeme.com
Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations, potentially exposing sensitive user data
Thousands of shared ChatGPT chats—including deeply personal details about mental health, relationships, and trauma—are appearing in Google search results, raising major privacy concerns.

Something to keep in mind: “These findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection damages the CD8+ T cell response, an effect akin to that observed in earlier studies showing long-term damage to the immune system after infection w/ viruses such as hepatitis C or HIV.” #COVID

Australia has an opportunity to get out of AUKUS. We should take it.
We ask the Albanese Government to prioritise Australia's interests and security, and to join the UK and the US Governments in undertaking an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS.

Finally! I built & tested an open-source concept model air purifier that should be good for schools. Lots of air (CADR > 420 CFM), quiet (<45 dBA), uses <9 W, and ‘cause it’s wall-mounted & down-blowing, it moves air in the right direction & takes up no floor space. Always check my ALTs🧵⬇️

Dear ALP, you’ve had a great night. But, remember, 12-months ago you were in oblivion. Mainly because you weren’t being brave enough with your agenda.
Get on with taxing multi-nationals, progressing carbon targets, implementing gaming reforms, gender equity, housing affordability.

It's been 51 days since ANY humanitarian aid has entered Gaza. Israeli Minister of Defense Katz has said: "Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza."
This is a war crime.
We must end our complicity. NO more military aid for Netanyahu's war machine.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.
