In Year 11..or 12, I forget which..Schindler's List was released. Our English text was Night by Elie Wiesel. I'd never read anything like it before or since and it changed me. As part of the Educating the Kids about the Holocaust thing (that somehow was part of English since none of us had to

one important thing about the trans sports canard is it’s a trial balloon to see how chickenshit the opposition is. if we cave on that they’ll attack a less vulnerable group (already happening actually) and the whole coalition will get carved up one by one

Canada just released a housing catalog of pre-designed homes for all 10 provinces, developed by local architecture and engineering teams to align with regional building codes, planning regulations, climate zones, construction methods, and materials. Every state needs to do this immediately!

KOTARA, 159km from Central, might be the most disappointing station I've visited so far. It has two platforms, tiny shelters and a basic footbridge with no lifts. It feels very rural, on quiet backstreets with pedestrian access an afterthought. But it's frustratingly close to a busy commercial area!

This 1.35-acre parking lot in Jersey City was sold for $54 MILLION (10 times its assessed value) and will become 603 rental units. And you all wonder why I absolutely despise surface parking lots in major cities—it's just land banking and a heavily subsidized land use.

This is basically how every piece of marketing for LLM software (and this @nature.com article is advertising) works. "be sure to check the outputs" is a lazy disclaimer and they know the dudes who love using these tools are using them BECAUSE they don't like putting effort in

This. As I set out in a post, Trump is not a 'transactional' politician, but an anti-transactional politician. Those pundits that trot out that he is 'transactional' don't get his approach to supposed deals. His MO is breaking deals not making them. My post: emptycity.substack.com/p/why-donald...

Marco Rubio is like having Tom Wambsgabs as Secretary of State, a man whose ambition is to be an empty suit, on board to take any stance, say anything, whatever the boss wants, and sponge up some of the pain that comes back, all for the trappings, the title, the plane rides, the suits, to be there.

Today's excuse to why we can't have more housing in well-connected wealthy areas is: aircraft noise. Clearly no one would ever want to live somewhere like Stanmore or Kingsford. It feels like so much of urban planning is flimsy excuses for political compromise. www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...

The discourse around the “podcast election” in the US drove me crazy, and the fact it’s happening again, but even dumber, in Australia drove me crazier. So I decided to write something about politics, podcasts, Abbie Chatfield and the PM, and our current media moment. Give it a go.

Here's the latest ep of my Cool Zone Media/iHeartRadio show Better Offline. I walk you through how OpenAI isn’t a real company - it's a VC-backed welfare recipient that spent $9bn to lose $5bn with its unprofitable, commoditized business. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o... linktr.ee/betteroffline

Newsletter: There is no AI Revolution. Consumer adoption of generative AI outside of ChatGPT is barely 100 million people, every single company in generative AI is deeply unprofitable, Microsoft is pulling capex, and OpenAI spent $9bn in 2024 to lose $5bn. www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-m...

Not a Friedrich Merz fan, but the leaders of political parties in Australia really need to heed this lesson. I won't be holding my breath though...

Terrific thread this. I think there are two long-running causes: the first is that the party's intellectual left has never recovered from being totally defeated - and being demonstrably wrong, at least at the time - about the big arguments that divided the party in the 1980s.
