The demolition of the UNRWA building is religious extremism and part of the religiously motivated genocide.

NB: This isn't a "thriller" but a documentary. So, not fiction...

…but it is definitely scary, sickening and disheartening.

What a bizarre world.

Some of us are occupied with genocide, global heating, political corruption - and so much more…

While others can’t stop talking about the Beckhams

Bizarre - & likely goes some way to explain the situation we’re in 🤔 #auspol

My latest article in @theshot.net.au on the dark days of McCarthyism coming to Australia to eclipse our cultural landscape under the guise of eradicating communism - whoops sorry - antisemitism

Screenshot of an official email response from the Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC). Good morning, Thank you for taking the time to write to us. The Australian Government has made a decision to no longer publish data about COVID-19 cases in Australian residential aged care facilities on a weekly basis. The CDC’s latest Australian Respiratory Surveillance Report published earlier this month presents a national overview of acute respiratory infections in Australia, drawing information from several different surveillance systems, including respiratory infections among older people. However, it does not have figures for cases in residential aged care facilities. Any questions you may have about the decision not to publish data about COVID-19 cases in residential facilities should be directed to the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. Kind regards, CDC Enquiries Team On behalf of the Australian Centre for Disease Control

Trump's plan to make tech companies pay for new power plants that get built to power AI data centers is a not a bad idea, but it misses that data centers impact retail electricity prices primarily by driving up poles-and-wires costs, not generation costs.

Microsoft CEO says AI “risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.” Brother you’re the one building this dogshit, we’re three years and hundreds of billions in, how have you not worked it out?

World Economic Forum + Add to myFT Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns Al boom could falter without wider adoption Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella has warned that Al risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies. Nadella on Tuesday said that the long-term success of the fast-developing technology would depend on it being used by a broad range of industries as well as on uptake outside of the developed world. "For this not to be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this are much more evenly spread," said Nadella. He noted that a "tell-tale sign of if it's a bubble" would be if only tech groups were benefiting from the rise of AI, rather than companies in other sectors.

I got my 25 year badge before jumping, and I can assure you that nothing has changed since the late 80s. The typical branch member joins, is a member for a couple of years, then bails after realising that they joined a fan club. Mostly, the only solid members are ethnic stacks and old unionists.
