"all of which has driven mass political disillusionment and anger. The basic truth is this. Our economic system fell apart in 2008. In the absence of a credible alternative, politics is defined by instability and an emboldened far right ...."

This is going to end quite badly, I think.

The short-sighted stupidity of rowing back on green policies is truly mind-boggling

All this will do is bring forward the time of climate breakdown-driven economic collapse

We cannot ignore what we can see with our own eyes.

This was state violence.

And the blame lies with the NSW Labor government for attempting to shut down legitimate protest, and the federal Labor government who invited the head of a state committing genocide to our shores.

"This was planned. And Chris Minns owns it ... I was there".

Andrew Brown with the extraordinary story of NSW Police brutality at the Herzog protest.

While the premier - to great applause - said "Thank you friends" to the Israel Lobby.

Tourism is the most obvious form of unsustainable growth. It runs almost fully on oil, as other transport purposes do.

There is little electrification across the entire sector.

The NSW cops are being so overtly aggressive it would almost seem like they were under orders to make sure the protest became violent.

That’s the smell of social cohesion in the air, and eyes and throats, I guess. This is so predictable. “Australia news live: Police use pepper spray as Sydney protesters attempt to march; thousands rally in Melbourne to oppose Isaac Herzog’s visit” www.theguardian.com/aust%E2%80%9...

This media conference for Isaac Herzog is a complete farce.

The 3(!) questions were basically "Tell us why Israel is right to murder everyone in Palestine and also why the Australian govt needs to be more to supportive of that"

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

VC, founder, dumbass

@Nick_Davidov
Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops"
Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything.
It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure.
She didn't have Time Machine.
Disc recovery tools can't see anything.
I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days).
I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

I'm no political strategist but has anyone in Labour considered *not* alienating any huge chunk of their base? I just feel like they tried alienating the left and the centre left and the public sector workers and the academics, and none of those things worked great, so maybe give my idea a whirl?

Former Labor MP Mike Kelly, an executive of Palantir, defends Herzog in the Murdoch Press and accuses opponents of Israeli genocide in Gaza of hypocrisy. His employer Palantir is central to the Israeli killing machine and the death of civilians and aid workers.
Hypocrisy?

Combatting Antisemitism Czar™️, Jillian Segal's, hand-picked University Report card independent assessor - Greg Craven - brings novel views and thoughts to the position.

Craven speaking at the Skynews antisemitism Summit last year states if he was still a Vice Chancellor he'd break hateful occupation or demonstration and engage police in prosecuting demonstrators, and impose disciplinary processes, and if that was legally challenged he would create new harsher disciplinary measures. Craven was handpicked by Combatting Antisemitism Czar, Jillian Segal, as the "independent" assessor to judge her, and now the Government's University Report Card project.

Palantir CEO laughs about profiting from killing Palestinians using AI.

He calls them 'Hamas' 'useful idiots' and 'mostly terrorists'.

But there is only one terrorist here, and Palantir are war criminals.
