“But nor can educators wish AI away!“

Sure, but just because I can’t wish the ubiquitous shite YouTube history vids and podcasts away doesn’t mean I have to teach *with* them.

”This exists and could impact the classroom and must therefore be included in the classroom” is a bad faith argument.

It’s not just Gaza.

Netanyahu’s extremist government is supporting the violent annexation of Palestinian land in the West Bank. This is illegal and immoral, and decades of American silence have enabled it.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Minns fails to understand that real democracy requires concerned citizens demonstrating against inhumanity, genocide, apartheid, colonialism and misuse of power. A Labor Premier must not sacrifice democratic rights on the altar of ill informed, short term, knee jerk reactions.

I am shocked by Premier Minns- trashing democratic freedoms in NSW to appease authoritarian extremists who characterise the March for Humanity as violent.
A violent lie to protect genocide.
Linking the march across the bridge to the massacre is disgusting and everyone doing so should be deeply ashamed of their giving tacit support for genocide

That’s why claims that AI is a huge problem for climate change puzzle me.

Sure, it’s not helping, but the numbers are still very, very small.

It’s something to watch, but right now it’s not a huge part of the climate story.

Peaceful protest against a genocide - by a broad range of Australians - are a concern for Minns.

Ok.

Now we know. #nswpol #auspol
