A little-noticed provision in the TRUMP AI Act would ban big tech platforms, including ostensibly Google, from distributing "sexual material harmful to minors" — a phrase routinely used by conservatives to ban not only porn, but sex ed, LGBTQ literature and repro rights resources.
The TRUMP AMERICA AI Act is every bit as bad as you would expect. Maybe worse.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s latest is an anti-tech omnibus, combining years' worth of dangerous policy ideas into one big, bad bill.

This unbelievably dim loser thinks he comes off well in this video, as he tries to force his way into a daycare.

Philip Ruddock says John Howard and Mark Latham were wrong to remove lifetime pensions for federal MPs, because too many politicians use careers in Canberra “to serve their own interests.”
Speaking at a briefing ahead of Thursday’s release of the cabinet papers, the former attorney general and immigration minister said the 2004 decision to curb lifetime entitlements had removed longer term financial security for politicians, and meant many spent their time in office preparing for lucrative private sector careers.

Hanson is ranked 48th out of 54 on the “likeability ladder”, and Barnaby is ranked 53rd (yes, second worst) out of 54.
If that is “zooming up” the likeability ladder, what would “zooming down” look like?
According to the SMH journo, "Joyce’s popularity has soared” (yet also 2nd last in 2024).
