Calling bullshit on racism, sexism, hypocrisy and general arseholery. RTs no endorsement. Happy to discuss but I'm not getting into arguments so don't start.

As usual, Angus Taylor and Matt Canavan are wrong. Sure, students dont pay taxes every year... but they DO pay fees. Their yearly contribution would be double whatever tax is generated by backpackers because farmers pay them fuck all. #auspol

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

So to be super clear. An avowed racist and sociopath who believes govt should be replaced by corporate overlords thinks he has a sharper moral compass than the Pope. You simply can’t build the guillotines fast or sharp enough. Hunt Thiel.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Australia: Didn’t want Woodside license extended to protect indigenous sites. Happened anyway. Didn’t want AUKUS, continues anyway. Wanted real gambling reform, won’t happen. Doesn’t want data centres, happening anyway. Why? Donation and future jobs for pollies. We are an oligarchy now. Fact.
