Israeli envoy to Austria suggests executing Gaza children in secret recording ↗︎
↳ Systematic dehumanisation, something they ought be aware of, running rampant and leading to genocide. Meanwhile, Australian (ours, not Austria’s) news is still spewing pro-Israel content left and right. — added 12:08pm on 24/03/25 ❧
“I need to rethink my future”: Tech professionals on how they’re coping with Trump’s rapidly shifting immigration changes ↗︎
↳ I hope this will actually allow some space for better, more egalitarian things to emerge. — added 10:48am on 24/03/25 ❧
Australia’s universities and academics are under siege ↗︎
↳ The “but my academic freedom” argument is kinda gross here, but these external pressures for conformity with oppressive systems are exactly what academics should rally against. But we don’t, and we won’t, we’ll comply with hegemony. Because academia is white, straight, cisgender, able bodied, and bourgeois. — added 10:46am on 24/03/25 ❧

EU slams the door on US in colossal defense plan ↗︎
↳ It’s going to be very interesting to see how Australia acts. Do we alienate our closest neighbours (and massive economic powers, i.e., China) and potential allies or do we alienate the US to have good relations with literally the rest of the globe? Seems like a no brainer which is why the incompetence which is Anthony Albanese will fuck it up for the whole nation. — added 12:19am on 21/03/25 ❧
RFK Jr. Suggests Letting Bird Flu Spread ↗︎
↳ Just the kind of confidence inspiring strategy one wants from a global leader in charge of the health of practically the *planet*. — added 12:07am on 21/03/25 ❧

Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End ↗︎
↳ Huh, scaling systems not designed for scale only hurts the environment? Who’d have guessed. Sounds like a win win for capitalists though. — added 8:23pm on 19/03/25 ❧
China will enforce clear flagging of all AI generated content starting from September ↗︎
↳ Interesting approach which might actually work given the totalitarian censorship. — added 12:20pm on 19/03/25 ❧
Keir Starmer to unveil drastic disability benefit cuts despite opposition ↗︎
↳ Phenomenal and awful shit occurring across the western world at the moment. — added 7:54am on 19/03/25 ❧

Man whose daughter died from measles stands by failure to vaccinate her: "The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust" ↗︎

Milwaukee mother deported to Laos, a country she has never been to, where she doesn’t know anyone and doesn’t speak the language ↗︎
↳ It really just seems like grossly ‘vindictive’ and blatant bullying behaviours rippling across the entire country. — added 3:59pm on 17/03/25 ❧
The right dominates the online media ecosystem, seeping into sports, comedy, and other supposedly nonpolitical spaces ↗︎
↳ Not shocked, but highly disappointed by this dominance. Hatred is the bane of transformation. — added 8:22am on 17/03/25 ❧

OpenAI declares AI race “over” if training on copyrighted works isn’t fair use ↗︎
↳ One rule for thee another for me. Just maybe we need a whole different modality to AI? — added 12:07pm on 16/03/25 ❧
