Fun tip for InDesign updaters out there – it now defaults to preserving InDesign editing when you export to PDF, so suddenly a single page could be 30MB. Tick that off when you export, you'll save yourself a headache.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Victoria, be careful following David Crisafulli & Queensland down the singular, slogan based punitive approach to youth justice. Consult widely, look at all solutions. Don't let other crimes such as DV & sexual assault be pushed aside in the election frenzy. #springst

The ASD is hammering the ads on LinkedIn atm, and it's curious because if you click through you will see there are just two roles available... and one of them is an open call to sumbit your CV, complete a form and agree to being vetted.
Is this the easiest intelligence fishing expedition in history?

The Allan government is so desperate to hang on to power they're pushing a 1990s era policy in suggesting kids over 14 could get LIFE for violent crime. It's broken logic to suggest that because someone has done a violent crime they have taken on that responsibility and should be treated thus
Possible life sentences for children under Victorian crime crackdown
Children aged 14 and above will face adult sentences in adult courts if caught committing violent crimes such as home invasions, in sweeping new reforms by the Allan government.

It's cool how Australian governments' answer to them simply not using existing laws is to demand more police powers
Police need more powers to stop ‘naked racism and hatred’ after allowing Sydney neo-Nazi rally, premier says
Police need more powers to stop ‘naked racism and hatred’ after allowing Sydney neo-Nazi rally, premier says
Dozens of neo-Nazis demonstrated outside NSW parliament on Saturday where they held an antisemitic banner and chanted a Hitler Youth slogan
A neo-Nazi rally overtly targeting Jewish people was allowed to go ahead in Sydney on Saturday morning, sparking the New South Wales premier to say he would consider giving police more powers to shut down racist and hateful demonstrations.
“It’s likely the case that we need to give police more legislated powers to stop this kind of naked racism and hatred on Sydney streets,” Chris Minns said after the rally. Continue reading...

The boyfriend of a friend of my son's has spent several weeks in a psych ward due to Chat GPT induced psychosis. He isn't suicidal but AI encouraged him down a toxic and paranoid wormhole until he became completely delusional. Evil stuff.
1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.

"Ruthless"? Dude would have been fired 30-40 years ago in a normal job.
After years of damaging headlines over his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Buckingham Palace finally acted.
King Charles III’s brother Andrew was stripped of his “prince” title and evicted from his Royal Lodge mansion.

Five times the British royal family has been ruthless with its own

And people say Australian regulators have no power. A good reminder that using your powers rather than being afraid of your own shadow is always the better option.

Aus is supposed to be a country where the rule of law & natural justice applies. The Gov’s sneaky attempt to strip welfare from people before they’ve been convicted of any crime is a fundamental breach of these principles. We may as well dissolve the court system. #auspol #politas
