Amazed to have made it into my eighth decade. Resolute cynic of politics and the economy. On the left and supporter of women and minorities. Dark sense of humour. Living on Kabi Kabi country. Anti Zionist

Zionism and Zionists are evil. Judaism and Jews are not. It is crucial not to conflate Judaism and Jews with Zionism and Zionists. There are MANY Anti-Zionist Jews. www.jvp.org

FMD. How quickly we have progressed from LLMs just being giant word associations to our New Robot Overlords. Scary to watch two intelligent men say we have to find ways to appease what we have created. I fear for my grandchildren.

'Power is its own constituency. It exists to protect itself.' Authoritarianism sounds scary, but it arrives bit by bit. We're already doing the work for some grim future. Will be talking about this and more at Sydney Opera House's Curious program this Sunday. www.crikey.com.au/2026/09/28/r...

Don't think Australia is immune to authoritarianism
Nobody wakes up to sudden authoritarianism. We relinquish ourselves to it by allowing our favoured government to get away with bending norms and rules. Over time, these bends become clean breaks.

Albanese is just another grovelling fanboy agog with the proximity to power

Tony Abbott (Not the onion eater) @tonyabb.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
It’s sad how the proximity to power and a meaningless award makes weak little politicians like @albomp.bsky.social think they are great statesmen whose words are weighed with grave admiration. Albanese wants to be the mouse who roared but merely squeaks

What happens to Australian politicians, public servants and the military when they arrive in the USA? They lose all sense of Australian sovereignty and acquiesce to US hegemony at the expense of our safety. We need real leadership not sycophantic capitulation.

I think that the people of our nation mostly retain their decency. Politicians of all parties not at all. They trade that for ministerial leather or the hope of such.

Apparently China already has more than 60 submarines and building. So if our 6 submarine hunters ever get built they are going to be taken out before denting the Chinese fleet.

Look. I don’t think that past drug use should necessarily mean that a person is unfit for public office. However, choosing to stand for Pauline Hanson’s party should be an automatic disqualifier.

In today’s episode of American Irony the Chief Architect of OpenAI has just released an essay arguing that the world is not prepared for such advanced and dangerous AI as the latest release of his own product. Sam Altman has praised and reposted the essay. The AI Tech Bros are evil.

Recently listened to Kevin Rudd talking with MacDonald and Doogue saying that Australia always retained its sovereignty in relations with USA. This study rather gives the lie to that.

"No one inside federal politics seems particularly interested in discussing the large orange elephant in the room and how it is materially changing every other country's views of the world." "confused" is a polite way of saying: the Australian govt is a bunch of dangerously deluded US sycophants.
