14/ '... So if you meet with these historians, I'll tell you what to say
Tell them that the Nazis never really went away
They're out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies
[Chorus]
And we'll never rest again, until every Nazi dies.'

This disaster has been going on for at least 15 years. Time to kill for-profit education and training (and all human services) once and for all.
At least 30,000 graduates lose qualifications in Australia’s vocational education crackdown
Since late 2024, registrations of 11 VET organisations have been cancelled, voiding diplomas, certificates and statements of attainment

“Look he raped a CHILD not an INFANT” oh ok
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

'The Left is too moralistic' is a fresh new idea I want to hear more about, just as soon as I've looked into the exciting new sound of Glen Miller

Super-tired but work is good.
Earworm of the moment is a hymn I remember from years of Anglican-osity, "Great is thy holiness".

(I think it's 'holiness')

The world: Wow, things are pretty awful lately.

Some TV exec: We should clone Hitler.
Sequencing Hitler's DNA was always going to be a bad idea, with little upside and plenty of downside, but the way it has been done as part of a TV documentary is particularly bad www.newscientist.com/article/2504...

An older Australian man in my family likes to use the exclamation "Root me boot!", a variation on "Wouldn't it root your boot!".
Does anyone else on earth say this?

this is just such a stark contrast to the general Western mood that climate politics is dead. THIS is what climate politics is about (the political economy of decarbonization). Everything else follows.
Ethiopia last year banned the import of new gasoline-powered cars. Nepal reduced import duties on EVs so much that they are now cheaper than cars with internal combustion engines. Brazil raised tariffs on car imports to compel Chinese automakers to set up plants inside Brazil. Etc

Hey!! Here's my new piece for The New Republic!!

It's about how Meta is cramming generative video slop (the most energy-intensive of the gen systems) into its massive global advertising engine: a recipe for an order magnitude worsening of its already-huge harms 😱

In any other context, what would we think about some unseen stranger eavesdropping on kids’ conversations to see what they’re talking about?
I missed that Communications Minister Anika Wells said that kids talking on social media about plans to get around the teen ban will be picked up by the platforms as a signal that they are under 16.

Our entire economy has reordered around investing in a technology that for 90% of the user base is solely a worse search engine.

What could possibly go wrong.

Y'all really need to see this excellent video that is mostly about the Rogansphere comedy scene, but a lot about Elon too and how they all suffer from bad dad syndrome and a need to "get the hell out of here."

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Earworm now is the annoying compulsory muzak from The Prisoner, maybe because I'm having a frustrating time of it just now
(Patrick McGoohan gets to smash up the muzak box, only to have it replaced instantly. That's earworms for you)
