I was curious about the “cubes and little rooms” so I asked Google. Here was its answer: [it] appears to be a misunderstanding… there are no "cubes" or "rooms underneath" the Kennedy Center … though there are glass enclosed performance spaces, lounges, and an education area called The REACH…” 🤦‍♀️

Michael Wolff released some of his raw interviews with Epstein in Nov 2024. Is there a reason the whole (reported) 100hrs haven’t been released and reported on?

I’ve sent a note to ID Care and I’m composing a letter to send to various politicians. I’m hoping some of my connections can get the letter to the right people. I’m lucky. Dis you see There’s a whole cohort of people basically accused of posting child abuse material!! Can AI be sued for slander?

It is time to unleash SuzyCue's brand new website... designed and built by MOI!! If you need a teleprompt operator anywhere in Australia or the Asia Pacific (we'll travel!!) give us a hoy! suzycue.com.au

There’s a class action being explored in the US. I submitted my story. My sister had her ads account hacked and they started stealing money. Again the support desk was useless. She ended up having to close her business account and start from scratch. 😡 she got the money back but it was a huge hassle

So there's a petition going around to hold Meta to account... might not get anywhere but if you've been banned it's a place to start: chng.it/KLKTP4BXrG

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

I guess my question is twofold… How is your Meta detox going? And how do we create an Australian digital sovereignty? In trying to appeal my suspension I was coerced into handing over critical identity data. I now feel exposed with no recourse. What can we do beyond removing ourselves as you have?

This is so terrifying. And it’s emboldening the antisemites across the world. Here in Australia, in Melbourne, last Shabbat, another synagogue was torched WITH PEOPLE INSIDE. Thankfully no one was hurt and a suspect has now been arrested. This world is broken. 😢

So I’ve now learned the my FB banning is just one of millions. It appears that Meta AI has gone rogue. Meta won’t admit it but they’ve lost control of it and have no idea how to fix it. Welcome to the brave new world of AI content mods folks.

GeneOdyssey @geneodyssey.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
I’ve just read your article (via startupdaily). 3 days ago my FB account of 15years was inexplicably suspended for no good reason. I’ve now come to understand that the AI content moderation seems to have gone rogue. You pose an interesting point but many of us rely heavily on these Meta platforms.

GeneOdyssey @geneodyssey.bsky.social · 05/07/2025
I agree. I’m not actually expecting anything. I’ve already sent a note to ID Care and I am going to send a note through to the PMs office (I have connections) 😎 this is actually a huge privacy and security risk. I’m livid.

GeneOdyssey @geneodyssey.bsky.social · 05/07/2025
Thanks Felix. I’ve started a new account and message their help through that one. It’s such utter bullshit I can’t really believe they make so much money. I’m more angry at how utterly dependent I am on it!! That’s even more infuriating!!!

Another sign of tech madness. My FB account has been suspended for no good reason. I’ve appealed but hat to input my phone number and facial rec to do so. 48hrs later it’s still locked. There’s NO WAY to contact Meta support. Every help article goes back to FB and the suspension page. 🫤😡🤦‍♀️

So tRump is cranky that Australia won’t import US beef. He claims it’s to protect our farmers. It’s not. It’s to protect humans. It’s a biosecurity measure. Not economic. Australians by and large wouldn’t buy US beef anyway because we simply prefer Aussie grown produce.

Why do billionaire businessmen think they can run the government any better than career public servants? Businesses go belly up every day. These B-Idiots just have enough money not to feel it. Government can’t afford to fail. #stopoligarchy

Witkoff also claimed that Putin was a straight talker. I’m not sure Witkoff understands the people he’s negotiating with.

Time for Social Security recipients to be ringing his department seeking reassurance. Overwhelm the phone system so his office can’t work effectively - just like he’s doing to the SSD. Bloody idiot.

Musk is a duplicitous coward. He’s chickened out of an interview with John Stewart because he know he’ll be asked hard questions in a way he barely understands. Especially about the Nazi stuff and his assault on veterans.

He was a minor so there’s not much info the police can actually give about him.

Is he also gaming the stock market?? He places snap tariffs… stock market falls… his cronies buy up cheap… he suspends the tariffs… market goes up… cronies profit. And just like Putin those cronies are holding for him. 🤔 Smells fishy to me.

Hell yeah!! It’s that euphoric rush of dopamine… I got it yesterday in a different contact when I found a passing reference to a cemetery I’m researching in a massive pile of government letters. Just 3 paragraphs in 100 pages. Whoosh!!!

Trump just helped bring Andrew Tate — who is literally charged with rape and human trafficking — into our country.

Why isn’t the SSI contribution money sequestered and managed separately? It should be part of general revenue! Look at the Australian compulsory superannuation system as a model.

And that’s even besides that fact that it disappears female to male people. They are so frightened of what they don’t understand but makes no attempt to move past that fear to enlightenment. Oh yeah… it’s the enlightenment they’re trying to reverse.

So I have a theory. Perhaps trumps plan is to provoke large protests to give him an excuse to call out the army, declare marshal law and suspend the constitution. Bing bang boom… hello Gilead!! Just sayin…

Australias system has both public and private options that work in tandem. You can be a private patient in a public hospital. It works and everyone wins.

The fundamental problem with this premise is that it relies on people remaining in the one field or profession their whole lives. Universal health care - ie healthcare as a basic public service and human right - is the only humane and logical system in a liberal democracy.

I’m surprised that these so called champions of business seem oblivious to the idea of corporate memory. But then again perhaps that’s exactly what they’re trying to obliterate.

trumps obsession with DEI is perplexing. Whenever I hear him going on about it I can’t help but think of the classic quote from The Princess Bride:

a man says " you keep using that word . i do not think it means what you think it means "
ALT: a man says " you keep using that word . i do not think it means what you think it means "

As a professional TelePrompt operator can I just say that I’m so glad he doesn’t use it!!! I pity the poor op who has to roll for these functionally illiterate fools.

Here's a page from the 1895 state census in Lac qui Parle, Minnesota. Every single person on the page had parents who were foreign born. Every. Single. One. How many of their descendants are trying to do away with birthright citizenship, I wonder? 🤔
black and white census page with lists of names, ages, birthplaces.closeup of column reading "parentage" with two sub colums for father of foreign birth and mother of foreign birth. Every one is filled in with yes in cursive.

So Kash Patel wrote a kids book that describes tRump as a King… and many tRump acolytes, including Musk, admire the writings of Curtis Yarvin, who calls for an American style techno monarchy… 🤔🙄 coincidence? #resist ✊ #theyreidiots

Sometimes you walk past a lone grave in a cemetery and wonder about the person buried there. David Austin was born in Sulzbach, Germany and died of plague in Sydney in 1902.

Exactly!! It’s a market economy. You don’t have to support a business that doesn’t respect its own customers. It’s ludicrous!! Would you go to a cafe where other customers abused and insulted you, while the staff did nothing? I don’t think so!! Blue skies ahead.

Yup… don’t the MAGAts keep going on about “merit based appointments”? The depths of his cronyism and corruption still haven’t found bottom.
