Every major masthead in Australia, including The Guardian, is selling Hanson's "immigration policy" — that is, every major masthead is expressing degrees of approval for a revamped White Australia policy. An extraordinary, explicit demonstration of the fundamental racism of this country.

Apropos of nothing, I often think about how drastically and quickly the natural world started to rebound when we were forced to pause “normal” human economic activity even briefly in 2020. Just imagine what’s possible if we bothered to try.

A particularly infuriating aspect of this A.I. bullshit is that nobody seems to remember that we all got along just fine without it for centuries. How are we all suddenly incapable of reading and understanding written words? Of creating art? Of telling stories? It’s madness.

Increasingly absurd to me that the word “humanity” still implies goodness and compassion while “animal” is used to mean the opposite.

Every time you check out a library book instead of ordering from Amazon, ask a friend instead of an LLM, cook a meal instead of ordering from an app, or go for a walk instead of scrolling social media, you interrupt the cash flows of insane CEOs. Do it! Ruin their day!

Next two years are going to be the worst yet for climate — and we’ll still have News Corp saying it’s not real. People will believe them. And will blame migrants for burning down their houses. And will refuse to accept that 250 years of industrial fossil fuel combustion has lead to where we are.

My entire life I’ve never called it the FIFA World Cup. I’ve always called it the World Cup. Fans don’t give a shit about FIFA. If national teams showed up for a World Cup tournament not held by FIFA we would all watch it. World Cup is the brand. FIFA is nothing.

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

ChatGPT not letting you emulate specific authors anymore
Prompting
Join
I've been writing my book for several months now, paid for a more advanced model. Took a break. Came back.
Now Ms. GPT says she can't generate content in the style of specific authors. My prompts were soooo specific and I got exactly what I wanted out of them. For example,
'rewrite in the literary style of 'author here' with abundant dialogue and detail avoiding staccato prose. That was my go-to. Or 'please write and flesh out in the style of
'author' etc. they tightened the ropes. I have no idea how to get around this other than maybe feed it prose I already edited that's technically mine? Fuck.

well done william
On Instagram, the account "Prince and Princess of Wales" posts a picture. It shows Prince William in a gray Glen check sport coat, light blue shirt, and bright blue hard hat. He's supposedly hammering a nail into the wall.  A close up of the photo shows he's not holding the nail, only pretending to.

Black text on white page that reads: 

Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust. 

We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else. 

No company — no matter how large or powerful — is above the law.
