Ok, so first thing to do before rushing off to the US president is to ask Queensland's Indigenous people if it's ok to dig up their land. Explain why the world needs critical minerals & how payments from that mining can help them. If they say no, that's the end of it. #qldpol

The former President of South Korea has been convicted of insurrection and sentenced to life.

Former Prince Andrew faces life in prison in the UK over his Epstein ties.

The orange felon committed insurrection and is fully tied to Epstein and was sent to the WH. The US is sick.

Where have we seen this before?
This picture is so crazy that if you had this as a scene in a made-for-TV dystopian scifi movie in like 2014 people would switch channels because you’d ruined the suspension of disbelief.

⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

This petitioner could just leave the state. That would relieve congestion.

It’ll be the Netanyahu poster that is interpreted as covered by the IHRA definition of antisemitism which includes comparing the Israeli govt to the Nazis and which the Albanese govt has adopted (against a wall of expert advice not to) in the context of the new hate speech laws.

Federal police raided Dissent Bar in Canberra and stripped anti-fascist posters off the walls under Labor's brand new hate speech laws. Not a Nazi compound. A local café with political art. This is what biased laws look like in practice. 🧵

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
