Your local library is a treasure, probably a bigger treasure than you think. You don't need audible, they have audiobooks! You don't need online subscriptions - they have them for you! Mine has free tickets to museums & the zoo, social events, sewing machines, DJ equipment, a 3D printer, & MORE.

repeat after me: an AI system does NOT and CANNOT seek power. it CANNOT seek, want, & desire anything more than your toaster can. people in positions of power use AI to seek, assert, consolidate, and centralise power

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer. Sounds GREAT to me. Buy independent.

IF #nuclear is safe, why not put a nuclear plant at the Newport station site, Mr Dutton? ✅ Old coal plant site ✅ Existing transmission infrastructure ✅ Close to demand centres & potential industrial users ✅ Availability of WATER Stop treating the regions & farmers as mugs! #auspol #AusVotes25

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

I am less interested in hearing from Albanese spruiking how he and his government will be able to accommodate Trump and the GOP and more interested in how he and his party intend to prevent fascism and christianist nationalism taking over here.
