Look people now that the migration from the platform Elon Musk is forcing us to dead name is well and truly on foot, you may want to check out this podcast that is all about international law and current events (with sweary and snarky takes from me, more earnest ones from my co-hosts)

Another example of the flawed nature of so-called 'AI' LLMs. Keeps getting things wrong. Doesn't find all the literature. Essesntially, it doesn't know what it's doing. researchwhisperer.org/2025/05/20/h...
Help! I’m an Early Career Researcher and genAI doesn’t know who I am
I’ve been a relatively slow-adopter of the genAI movement in academia. For a while now I’ve been under the (misguided?) perception that if I used genAI in any way to conduct my research, I would so…

Albanese says if Herzog had not been here he ‘wouldn’t have been able to raise the issue of Zomi Frankcom with him’. Sorry? He couldn’t raise the killing of an Australian aid worker with the head of state of the country whose military killed her without first inviting him for dinner at Kirribilli?

Watching Albanese tell us that we the Australian public need to bring the temperature down is gaslighting at its worst.

We didn’t invite Herzog. You were warned this would undermine unity and social cohesion yet you insisted.

Fuck Israel and fuck everyone who defends it. Right now the president of this apartheid monstrosity is sitting down with Australia’s prime minister for a cozy dinner - fuck him, too.

Why is it always those who set the house on fire are the first to ask why everyone is screaming? Politicians can’t inflame tensions in Australia by inviting President Herzog and then feign ignorance and shock at the public reaction.

Today is the start of LGBT+ History Month in the UK. I joined some cool people a while ago to reflect on why queer and trans histories are rich and powerful. Our histories can illuminate the possibilities of activism and politics, as we work to build a better world.

Keep the conversation going.

I’ll say it again: for me, the necessary indicator of a country might successfully begin a lunar settlement is whether it can consistently operate an inter-regional public transport system for 15-20 years.

Affordable, reliable, comfortable trains - in inhabited, oxygenated, temperate places.

I really appreciate an institution that has "pass with revisions" instead of me having to decide if they are minor or major revisions

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:

In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

"The (UN) commission of inquiry has found that Herzog has incited genocide... Someone who incites genocide does not satisfy the good character test for entering Australia. On the contrary, a person who incites genocide should be arrested on arrival and tried under Australian and international law."

Anthony Albanese should recognise he made a terrible mistake in inviting the Israeli president to Australia and put a stop to this divisive political visit

Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.
