Public health messaging in a nutshell.

We didn’t have a tv. Went out and bought one to watch the war. Became addicted to news.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

You cannot criticize them for leaving any stone unturned in exploring SM’s views. Live. From Sydney.

Thanks to ABC News 24 I’m entirely across the views of former PM Morrison on the Iran strikes.

Joh’s legacy should be to sustain a keen understanding of governance and accountability in the public, pollies, public servants & lawyers. But so many have forgotten. Looking forward to watching this.

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

25 years ago, Aboriginal and non-Indigenous people gathered side by side to erect a memorial marking a shameful historical chapter in a move of reconciliation and truth-telling. Every year, hundreds of people gather, many travelling from interstate, to mark the Myall Creek Massacre at Bingara.

Just to complicate things. There is no Liberal Party or National Party in Queensland. David Littleproud is a member of the Liberal National Party of Qld. However under its constitution, the LNP is a division of the Liberal Party of Australia. online.lnp.org.au/lnp-constitu... #auspol

Traditionally, law has been sourced from verified authority. Then it became open and we could search online. We could assess quality of source. If we use AI, an algorithm generates a response. The filtering is taken out of our hands. Someone else controls the algorithm.

I don’t need co-pilot or whatever to write for me. But some basic formatting would be great. ‘Please fix chaotic numbering, tabs & tables’. Or, idk, Microsoft could throw some coin to make their existing WP system actually work?

The Accord has recommended changes but I think many Unis will push back. You can see the defensive tone of the uni submissions too. Luke Beck’s sub is a good read on structure.

Speaking of universities, the Oz has published an attack on a second law lecturer based on a leak of a recorded lecture. Policy prohibits sharing lecture recordings. For 20yrs I’ve warned of vulnerability for staff & students of recording class. It’s now become a reality that Uni’s must address.

I have read all them 😊 Always ok to limit a submission, and don’t discount its utility. I observe maybe 3 main themes running through this inquiry. Each sub within a theme offers insight. Together they build a case.

The well done Angus meme is so perfect. It’s not violent, or abusive. It’s low key. It is so mild and dry yet absolutely cutting.

That senator last night on the ABC. I can’t stop thinking of his insistence that pre-polls would overcome the *9+%* swing against Mr Dutton. It was incredible to watch.

I guess Jane Hume’s proposal to have TEQSA check every university subject outline for ‘woke’ content will not become a reality. NB this is from the people who commissioned an inquiry into academic freedom & implemented a policy to uphold it. ‘Do academic freedom’ ‘No, not like that’

Let’s see if the senate inquiry into university governance will actually do something, given the govt is set to continue.

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully. You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers. Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.

As a collateral casualty of the culture wars who reads the Oz to keep tabs on the landscape, I can’t imagine the pile ons and obsessions finishing any time soon.

Can we just spare a thought, too, for the official end of News Corp as a political force. No one outside an aging political class pays any attention to them.
