Please don't anthropomorphize AI/LLMs. They don't build "civilizations," they create organizations that further their goals. Please don't treat the AI like it's a mysterious alien intelligence rather than a highly persistent algorithm trained on human grift and desperation. Stay real.

I've noticed that some of the most useful things I've learnt about myself weren't dramatic revelations. They were tiny moments of: “Oh. I do that.” 🕵️ Followed by: “Huh.” 🙃 And eventually: “Perhaps I don't have to do that anymore.” 💡 Personal growth can be surprisingly quiet. 💜💫

In June 2026, 100,300 Australians needed homelessness services. 15,800 needed emergency or short term accommodation. In a country drowning in wealth and empty investment properties, we've decided homelessness is just part of the fucking economy. #auspol

Statement from Senator
David Shoebridge and
Senator Steph Hodgins-May
Senator David Shoebridge and Senator
Steph Hodgins-May are seeking to form
a fresh leadership team for the Federal
Greens as Leader and Deputy Leader.
We are excited by what we can and must
do together as Greens. This is the time
to build our movement as the home for
every Australian who wants action on the
climate crisis, a fair return from our
resources, a secure home and income,
and to not sell out our independence to
the US or the 1%.
We do not seek to reform Labor, but to
replace them.
THE
GREENS
Authorised by J. McColl, Australian Greens, Canberra ACT 2600.

The answer to the rise of One Nation and
the far right is giving people hope, and
making people's lives better with real
economic and environmental security. It is
as simple as a meal before school, as
clear as no new coal and gas, and as
challenging as holding back the wave of
US billionaire tech bros and their vampire
Al data centres.
This will mean making the Greens a bigger
mass movement and upholding the
grassroots pillar the party was founded
on. We have heard, and respect, the calls
for genuine grassroots involvement in
selection of the leadership team and will
work with the party on this.
THE
GREENS
Authorised by J. McColl, Australian Greens, Canberra ACT 2600.

Labor has proven they can't stop
One Nation because they made the
conditions for them to thrive in.
Only the Greens can.
Staring down the climate crisis,
war, greed and an ever more
unsure future, the Greens will not
stop fighting. For you, and with you.
Come join us.

GREENS
Authorised by J. McColl, Australian Greens, Canberra ACT 2600.

Okay, seriously, what the fuck is this?

The top of the Google results when I went looking to see just what Mamdani's tweet that mentioned the Talmud actually said (a search for "mamdani talmud"). This top search reasult appears to link to Mamdani's Twitter account ("NYCMayor" on "X"), then has a truncated header ("Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani on ...") and then it has a vile lying antisemitic screed that ABSOLUTELY DID NOT COME FROM MAMDANI and I can only assume is some typical-for-Elon's-Nazi-website antisemitism someone wrote *about* Mamadani's post, but it's presented in the Google search results as if it's from Mamdani.

(text of the screed below, if you want to read it)
The Talmud teaches that the best of Gentiles should be killed, Jesus is boiling in excrement, and that non-Jewish souls are inferior and impure.
Read more

Mamdani's post, linked from that vile preview, in full (but a screenshot, so it doesn't include the video). Text below:

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.

Our safety and our thriving are tied together.

ENJOY 🧿

an illustration for the launch of my (iasmin omar ata) new webcomic PRAYERS TO THE FUTURE. the main character, irfan, poses with an obsidian sword. the rest of the comics cast (a mystery for now!) is depicted in various shapes behind her. the title of the comic is written outside of a circle behind irfan, with "by iasmin omar ata" written on the underside of the circle. within the circle, a post-apocalyptic desert is shown, with a tall obisidan obelisk at the center and a giant crystal floating atop it.

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.
