Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Quit Amazon and all of their affiliates now! They have already started replacing workers with robots. Their goal is to replace half a million workers with robots. Their reason? Humans are inefficient and cutting into their bottom line. But they need humans to buy their products so stop buying them!

Editorial: Monique Ryan’s bill would stop ministers and senior staff from working as lobbyists for three years after they leave politics. It would reveal who lobbyists meet and force ministers to publish their diaries. The reforms are simple and effective and will not pass. satpa.pe/qBKzq4W

Christopher Pyne was still a cabinet minister when he met with EY to discuss taking a job with the consultancy. There was no confusion about the purpose of the meeting.

Surely if Israel starts/continues firing on civilians, then it is, ipso facto, no long a ceasefire?!

IMHO, LLMs will be an economic negative for years.
They'll do a worse job than humans,
but will still replace humans because they're cheaper for employers,
but really they're costlier, it's just that lots of costs get externalized to society by our horrible energy/tax policies.
Lose-lose-lose.

This is so insane. Public education needs a massive boost, not cuts. Almost all non-gov schools are religiously affiliated in some way- why are we outsourcing education to religious orgs? Education is compulsory- we should have pride in and strengthen our secular public schools, not undermine them.
