I always love when Fox News throws scare quotes around supposedly horrific positions, and it's usually stuff like 'children shouldn't get bombed' or 'fascist stormtroopers are bad'.

Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to tax gas? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to build public housing? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to end AUKUS? Greens are happy to be constructive about things that materially benefit the public. We are not a rubber stamp.

This sort of fall takes house prices back to where they were only a few years ago, when the headlines were about the insane unaffordability. It's the more expensive homes (already over inflated) which are experiencing a drop - the lower end of the market has barely moved.

It's not "super intelligence." It's not even "intelligence." It continues to fuck up easy questions, like to whom I dedicated my most recent book. Also, Mike Johnson is a craven, simpering weasel and none of the people standing near him in this video respect him even the tiniest bit.

We (the left) really beefed it when we uncritically accepted the framing that men were “just worried about fake accusations” when it was far more likely they *knew* a bunch of accusations were coming because they were guilty of them

Here is how politics, in most cases, works: Rich and powerful interests, whether in fossil fuels, finance, big tech, media, meat, pharma or foreign governments, make a demand, and use their sophisticated tools to persuade a government to adopt it. The government adopts it. Please read whole🧵

on the plus side, we took our cat to the vet today because we were worried about her poop and the vet was like...nope, this is literally the healthiest cat in world, but maybe sometimes she gets the kitty equivalent of IBS, which means she and my husband can bond now ♥️

Again: "Tilly Norwood" is not a person; it is a shoddy, and also pretty gross puppet. Stop referring to it as "she," and start asking whether there might be something a bit off about wanting to promote a sexualized but also childlike "actor" that can never tell its creators or users "no."

The first line of Ed Sheeran’s statement both-sides a genocide, labelling it a ‘conflict’, and it goes downhill from there. He debases himself with his ‘Macklemore asked to come on tour and I said yes because he’s a friend’ shtick. Buddy, belittling the guy with the spine is not going to save you.

screenshot from a Bernadette Banner video with title "I Joined a Convent of Undead Seamstresses." she is wearing a mediaeval style outfit with dramatic long sleeved grey gown, a white head dress, and grey veil that covers all of her face except her mouth.

The return to physical media is a radical act. A book in your hand or a record on the turntable belong to a world beyond subscriptions, licenses, and corporate permission, and they can be lent, inherited, annotated, repaired, and loved. They remain when the platform fails and the servers die.

This is one of the objections I have when people talk about how useful LLMs can be for literature searches or for any kind of search, really. Even beyond the biases that inevitably (and, in some cases, intentionally) show up, part of a good literature search is seeing information *in context.*
