So stoked for @frogsandstars.bsky.social who just won the Long Covid Awareness media award at the Emerge Australia Awards for Excellence in Journalism. She has been doing such incredible, sustained reporting on Long Covid, and this is well-deserved recogntion. emerge.org.au/the-emerge-a...
Yeah it's interesting cause there is this massive firehose of information but everyone has really singular and specific streams. It's hard to get a grasp on anything right now, which at times feels almost by design. Keeps us overwhelmed and distracted.
Looking forward to this one!
Safe for who? Is anyone editing these before publishing ABC?
I’ve noticed that some people (esp students) think of Grammarly as a benign, even inert spell checker. If they get flagged for LLM use, they protest “but I only used Grammarly!”
But it does the same IP-thieving hallucination as other genAI products & even uses their API tokens
The COSMOS study of multivitamins and cocoa supplements continues to be a ridiculous circus that mostly shows how broken science is.
This time, it's DNA methylation.
He had one ecstasy pill 39 years ago and now faces charges. This is next level crazy...
Disappointing to see this (very long) article find no time to investigate the actual science behind EMDR and memory. A cursory search would reveal distinct research questions over the association between the practice and false memories but none of that is even referenced here.
Most outlets covered this story actually. I wouldn't blame the media for you missing this. It's a pretty good example of the 'flood the zone' strategy they use to distract. I suspect the timing of the release by the DOJ was not accidental.
"One of the great weaknesses of our era is that we get lone superhero movies that suggest that our big problems are solved by muscly guys in spandex, when actually the world mostly gets changed through collective effort."
A lot of Australians are about to learn how to use VPNs.
When the UK did something similar last year this was the government's response.
"Please don't use VPNs"
😂😂😂
I give up, Claude is conscious. Ergo AI developers must face imprisonment or execution for performing medical experiments on their living slave.

In the lead up to the obscenely expensive LA Noma pop up I noticed a massive PR blitz from the Redzepi camp talking about how well employees and their families are treated.
All makes sense now. They were getting ahead of this rather deeply reported story.
He's a good guy now you see...
Pens and typewriters are tools but they don't make up the words for you.
Plenty of tools exist to help catalyse new creative pursuits.
AI on the other hand is a content generator. It homogenises your thoughts. There is no craft or technique to using AI.
This pro AI take posted on LinkedIn is a perfect example of why relying on AI to generate your "thoughts" leads to stupid, error filled ideas.
So much is wrong with this. All the time lines are out of sync with reality. Plus the AI is just a tool argument is flat out wrong.
Threads man... Threads...
What a remarkable statement. Both true and chilling.
"It is clear that the sum of US policy choices amount to mortality worse than a COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing, year after year" @gavinyamey.bsky.social
Is this system fundamentally set up to make our roads safer?
Or does it exist to quickly and cheaply generate fine revenue for the government?
If the answer is no to the first question then the whole thing should be switched off immediately.
Some emoji have always puzzled me so I went to Unicode to see what they’re officially called
This is “sleepy face” 😪 wtf
in Japan, maybe!
Some post-script that didn't make this piece:
A whole heap of expired websites with high authority can be used to rank well on Search. Buy em up, get their authority. That happened to the dormant Australianaid website.
In 2023, it campaigned for aid.
In 2025, it began listing Best Online Casinos.
The fact Minns uses the term "pack of communists" tells you all you need to know about him...
image of a skeleton surrounded by fire announcing the second annual taco bell century on saturday june 13. the rest of the text reads: 100 miles, 10 taco bells. ride or don’t. eat tacos, go fast or go slow, ordee at drive-thru on two wheels, crunchwraps, make friend? and nobody threw up last year
save the date, seattle friends, and start training* now

Indigenous scholar Tyson Yunkaporta speaks with me about the Aboriginal perspectives behind his book, 'Right Story, Wrong Story: Adventures in Indigenous Thinking.' The book explains how stories shape society, how they can harm us and the environment, and how they may save our species:
One of the most powerful images I've seen all year.
We are desensitised to the horrors of what is happening in the world right now. Numbers in a headline only mean so much.
Seeing dozens of freshly dug child-size graves on the other hand.
Wonder if Nathan Fielder is gonna double down on his Paramount/Nazi gag in the next season of The Rehearsal?
Says it all about where this merger will end up. Pretty confident Ellison isn't a fan of OBAA 😂
Writing about my personal experience of psychosis has been tough. This has been one of the hardest and most intimate things I’ve ever written. Please have a read and a share - overland.org.au/2026/03/too-...
