People need a reminder about what the Renaissance was: a huge uptake in arts and humanities. The Renaissance was literary and explosion in study of art and humanities. That’s how we progressed. We celebrate the champions of that era while slashing the funding. (I’m an engineer by the way).

I recall in the 90s the governments were raiding houses to arrest teenagers “stealing” films by downloading them on the freshly minted internet. How times have changed…

I don't think there's a better illustration of the incredible danger of people credulously and irresponsibly over-adopting generative AI than the use of it by DOCTORS to note vital information. This should be as illegal as fabricating notes by hand. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...
Error by AI scribe during medical appointment leaves patient devastated
But that decision would cause her a lot of stress, with the AI scribe making up the serious but false claim that Ms Green was taking illegal drugs.

"I was gobsmacked and in tears … it made up that I take [psychedelic] mushrooms. I have never done mushrooms in my life,"  she said.

The only point of having a government is to have services that we couldn't do by ourselves. If they then go on to cut the services, what is the point of the government in the first place? Their job is to find a way to raise money to fund what we need.

It's fascinating that, in all discussions of budget repairs, no one will ever suggest raising government revenue. There are always thousands of government service cuts on the menu, but never, ever, ever, ever a proposal to tax the rich. youtu.be/UJ5siKckADg?...

Hi @theconversation.com, as a donor for many years, I am disappointed you are commissioning academics having no grasp of Westminster system to cover news in Australia and NZ. This is evident from the use of terminology that does not exist in our political system. theconversation.com/this-centris...

Labor is a waste of space. These party members, being outraged that they were dragged by the very police their party funds (why were police even present at a party conference???), are delusional if they are still part of this national circus 🤡 burn your membership cards and never look back.

This was a blast and also feeling of sadness that we, as a society, do not overwhelmingly vote for people like Rex.

Hi Seth, I was a paying subscriber of yours and I loved it. But I had to delete my account because of the relentless firehose of emails I was getting from Substack. It was utterly overwhelming. Do you Patreon or something else? Or am I mossing something?

I see people jumping onto the trope of empathising with ON voters. This is condescending crap. I don’t give up on the principle that everyone has their own agency. If you vote for racist shit, you are one. This “left behind” bullshit is what elected Trump.

gaik.bsky.social @gaik.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
Exactly! I think there’s a lot of dust to settle by the next election. And when it does, the picture will be much clearer and I don’t think it’ll be favourable to ON. Not paying much attention to them, as you say, is the best thing to do.

I am a subscriber. You just ignore Keane's rumblings on the economy. But a) he's a massive critic of genocidal maniacs; b) he's got political acumen and is a fierce supporter of accountability and transparency; c) he's a big critic of AUKUS and defence; d) other great contributors!

More than that, a party of working class would introduce national unemployment insurance scheme so that if one becomes unemployed, the get a monthly/fortnightly insurance payment as a percentage of their previous salary with minimum wage being the minimum.
