What Brett Sutton is saying now is nothing new. He was one of the few CHOs who openly stated that #COVIDisAirborne even in the early crisis years of the pandemic. This is an official Victorian Dept of Health video from 21 Dec, 2021.

“Return to normal” was always eugenics and that’s why so many of us have never stopped wearing a mask even though it made us outcasts.
Wearing a mask is community protection and solidarity.
You can always put the mask back on.

One of the effects of the demand for a “return to normal” has been a complete abandonment of people with long covid. Because how could they be sick with something that isn’t a big deal?
Are you making this worse for others with this attitude?

We have plenty of reasons to be in the streets today. But one big one is we’re marching because Rep. Melissa Hortman can’t. We’re sending love to her family, and we’re sending rage toward Washington, D.C.
Marching for Minnesota
A violent attack on two Democratic lawmakers reminds us why we’re marching

Raskin: And the moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people. That is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again .

What people have not understood about RFK and his belief structure is that when researchers and academics like myself call him And MAHA an accelerationist movement. It is in part because their goal is to undermine the world’s defenses against preventable disease and other social safety systems.
The possibility that RFK Jr. is going to undermine herd immunity in the United States grows increasingly likely.
This would mean that US will be responsible for starting numerous pandemics and potentially destroying the effectiveness of the entire globe’s vaccine arsenal.
This is bioterrorism.

I suggest folks start putting "anti-AI statements" in their publications and talks. For example, state that you didn't use AI for any aspect of your work and that you didn't cite any studies that used AI.
This shows worker solidarity and makes visible the collective action against AI.

If this isn't a cautionary warning for academics then I don't know what is.
You are putting yourself one step closer to unemployment each time you use AI to write an email, synthesize literature, code any data, use the socratic method to organize ideas, or write syllabi, lectures & papers.

This week, I spoke with one of the Duolingo contractors impacted by its 'new' AI strategy, and they clarified that
1) it's not new. Duolingo has *already* fired an estimated 100 writers and translators.
2) they worked for months training an AI system that still makes egregious mistakes.

Australia’s 2025 election is more than a political outcome. It is a philosophical reaffirmation that power, when untethered from fear, returns to its rightful source. The people. In casting their votes, Australians did not just choose leaders. They reclaimed authorship of their future.
