I acknowledge the traditional owners of this land on which I live, the melukerdee people of the South East Nation. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Massive shoutout to @tasland.bsky.social for a fabulous afternoon of science, art and Tassie with their Science Symposium yesterday. Loved all the info about our local plants and wildlife and was especially moved by the talk from Bridget Webster on "Poeisis in the Anthropocene". 10/10 all round. 💚

This is why Musk bought the White House for Trump in 2024. The level of corruption going on inside government is off the charts and I’m sure when this nightmare is over the true extent of that corruption will be way beyond our worst fears 😲🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Thanks to the MorePerfectUS team for the clip.

Please post & repost (ad infinitum), even if you're not Australian or in Australia. If you're as horrified as many of us are, that this could happen here in Australia, for the reasons that it did, don't be. It's not the first time & won't be the last but we cannot let it stop us speaking out.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.
