Great as always. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

OpenAI is featuring a "Looksmaxxing GPT" that provides "PSL ratings" for photos. It will rate people as "subhuman", and advise men to get invasive procedures like jaw surgery to "increase their sexual market value" among women, who it describes as "hypergamous by nature".

Counterpoint: you actually did vote to deport moms. What part of “mass deportations now” did you not understand?

“I don’t think there’s anything beneficial about the MAHA movement in any way…the real challenge for journalists and others is to hold them accountable.” - @drjengunter.bsky.social 💯

This is evil.

The story of Alma Bowman, a disabled woman and US citizen detained by ICE, keeps getting worse She’s been in the country for 50 years. They took her wheelchair, denied her medications & threw her in a detention facility in Georgia Did you know she was a whistle blower against forced sterilization?

Thou shalt not tie up children in zip ties and then deport them, for that maketh thou a MONSTER. A MONSTER! THE PEOPLE DOING ZIPTYING CHILDREN ARE MONSTERS!

I'm obsessed with this li'l hungry bub.

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening. If you want a story, get me the story about the crisis comms team directing this. He ran anti-constitutional blitzkrieg thru the federal government, did massive harm, violated ...

This is a vast underestimate of the projected death toll from the cuts to USAID and Pepfar alone.

This has been a quietly simmering right-wing panic for a few years now, the alleged "epidemic" of children cutting off their parents. There's no evidence for this phenomenon whatsoever, much less the bizarre "SJW therapy-speak" explanation they always reach for.

Imagine if terfs spent their time & effort on real issues. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

This. So tired of supposed leftists bigotry.

Quite a bit of media atm about the new COVID variant NB.1.8.1 that is causing an increase in cases. The chance of you encountering this virus is very high. This is a thread about two key mitigations to protect yourself & your family; vaccination and ventilation. 1/ www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

The greatest trick the tech industry ever pulled was calling incorrect outputs “hallucinations.” No, it’s not hallucinating or inventing things. It’s code. And it’s wrong.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Trump released his proposed budget-and it’s as draconian as you’d expect He’s cutting SNAP by almost 2/3 Reducing cancer research by nearly 40% Taking $33 billion from the HUD And $12 billion from the Department of Education Once again-the cruelty is the point www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

Disgraceful, sending them back to starve. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Women's sport is also treated as secondary by news organisations. The weekly male football matches get lead story on the sports bulletin, international women's sport is towards the end. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Tired of governments not taking responsibility for major issues. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Just a reminder: if you use ‘clean’ to indicate ‘HIV negative’ you imply that people living with HIV are ‘unclean’. #HIV is a virus, not a matter of personal hygiene. Thank you for your attention.

as a reminder, we still don’t know who is in charge of CDC these days

This is the best team crossover video I've ever seen.

Evidently it takes a while to learn not to stand so close to Mom when she's kicking dirt out of the burrow. 🪶

Enjoying how the AFR says you can't tax unrealised capital gains in super balances over $3m because it is not real money, and yet boasts about all the unrealised gains of the richest 200

Provisional Senate ALP 28 (+3) L-NP 27 (-3) Grn 11 (=) PHON 4 (+2) Pocock, UAP, JLN,AV,TT4T all 1 (=) GRPF 0 (-1) IND 1 (-2)

"The 2025 Senate result could be a sign that supporters of small right-wing parties are learning that preferences can be their friend rather than their enemy." Excellent article. antonygreen.com.au/fed2025-why-...

The latest Greenhouse Gas Emissions figures are out, and we are nowhere near on track for the (woeful and inadequate) 43% below 2005 levels by 2030

90% of the drop in emissions since 2005 is from counting "land use" (ie the big land clearing that happened in 2005). If you just count actual emissions, we're only 2.8% lower than in 2005

If Australia kept reducing emissions at the pace we did during the lockdowns, we would have gotten to net zero in 2030, instead....

Four graphs that help explain Labor's landslide victory as well as the continuing decline in major party support. antonygreen.com.au/fed2025-four...

Juxtaposition of these two headlines ought to give @albomp.bsky.social pause. This existential problem will only get worse.

"Abbott can’t or won’t accept that he is poison for his party, despite the evidence of his failed influence stretching back well over a decade... Brooding and delusional, it seems he won’t rest until his work is done and the Liberals are destroyed." Heh. thepolitics.com.au/and-now-the-...

Cannot believe Shaun King is back in the saddle.
