The #Epstein archive is not just about one criminal; it’s a CT scan of the Western system. Courts. Banks. Politicians. Universities.

The 1% really are vampirs, aren’t they?

Curiously, the word is derived from the Turkish word, ubyr/uber (witch or demon).

Anyone else like me pissed off at the ISIS brides treatment claiming they’re a threat to Australia while ignoring the real threat of IDF soldiers returning to Australia unquestioned? These women weren’t killing kids and unarmed civilians, IDF soldiers on the other hand….

Research shows that universities directly or indirectly provide services to the Israeli military apparatus. Some of these universities are also located illegally in the occupied West Bank. That is certainly cause for concern.

I got a tip that all over the world, people are using a dead-simple hack to manipulate AI behavior. It turns out changing what AI tells other people can be as easy as writing a blog post *on your own website*

I didn’t believe it, so I decided to test it myself www.bbc.com/future/artic...
I hacked ChatGPT and Google's AI – and it only took 20 minutes
I found a way to make AI tell you lies – and I'm not the only one.

Heard today from a well placed source that 🇷🇺 is now a preferred destination for students from 🇨🇳 owing to its perceived "safety" compared to Western universities – 🇦🇺 in particular.

May be why Oz unis struggle to enrol foreign students post-🦠?

Watching this pup crash an Olympic ski race like a champ 🐕‍⛷️ and believing in yourself as much as he did reminds us to continue to chase our goals and holdfast to the values and core work of public health.

Be brave, stay committed, but for now catch some Z’s 🛌 and be well.

goodnight friends 🌙✨
This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Bernie hear describes the billionaire class as like the czars of the 19th century, believing that they have a divine right to rule.

(He doesn’t say No Kings, but he’s certainly drawing on the notion and applying it to Big Tech Oligarchs/billionaires)

Citizens walking through a city’s streets for a few hours are variously an intolerable inconvenience or even a terrorist threat.

But a noisy, polluting motorcycle race that locks down those same streets for days is a desirable activity.

Has there ever been a party more up its own arse in this nation’s political history than today’s Coalition?

At which point do these incestuous, silver-spoon-sucking suppositories of entitlement & privilege decide we, and our legitimate needs & aspirations, get a look-in?

New via WSJ: French modeling scout Jean-Luc Brunel was secretly negotiating in 2016 with lawyers representing Epstein's victims, according to DOJ files.

Brunel's lawyer told them his client recruited girls for Epstein and had incriminating photographs.

Then Brunel went dark.

Trump is bringing our country to the brink of war with no reason, no plan, and no regard for you.

If the government of the day can refuse you the right of return to your own country and deny you the right to speak your mind as constitutionally protected acts, you’re not a citizen – you’re an indentured serf.
