Thank you for sharing that. It would be helpful if people realised there's no 'correct' way to act/react. And also that we are often not in control of how we act/react (even when NOT affected by drugs/alcohol). Freeze/fight/flight does not only apply DURING a traumatic event.

Australia’s “president of negotiations” role at this year’s COP31 conference is an exercise in hypocrisy. And it’s one that an increasing number of nations are seeing through, especially our neighbours in the Pacific.

C'mon Roseanne. You know I never expressed a disinterest in the 'biggest threat'. Just because the term 'sovereign nation' was USED, doesn't mean that's what the comment was ABOUT. This thread is about the Greens. Not sovereignty. Not Labor. Not the US.

That's a separate issue. Kowtowing to the UN, given how compromised it is, is just as indefensible as kowtowing to the US. The Greens are trying to handball responsibility to a third party. It's pathetic.

If we want to be a sovereign nation, we should not be waiting for UN resolutions before deciding. We should be courageous enough to make our own determinations about suporting the oppressed. The Greens' position is pissweak and obsequious.

Allowing Open AI to call these “rogue agents” lets them dodge responsibility - they made them, directed them and set them free without caring about the consequences. Our laws need to catch up to hold them accountable before worse happens.

OpenAi tech does not improve or enhance information assembled by experts and published on official websites. It churns through precious and scarce resources to enshittify what is/was digital information unless/until OpenAi siccs its tech into the space. On purpose. Intentionally. By design.

The inflation problem. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing a single mother, recently made homeless after defaulting on her mortgage repayments (as evidenced by visible paperwork), setting up a new home in a tent with her two young children. Surrounded by their essentials stored in storage and plastic bags, the baby crawls on the grass, his older brother heats some food over a camp stove, and his exhausted-looking mother blows up an air mattress. Watching her, the boy says, "Is this what they means when they say 'inflation is the problem,' Mum?"
