In response to this post@thibaultamartin several times in my working life I was in very difficult situations. Only the union helped. They were wonderful. Great move.

The Great Fire
Friends,
The following is the best account I’ve read of the fire that’s consuming Los Angeles. It’s from Steve Schmidt’s substack, The Warning. (steveschmidt.substack.com.
“….The scale of the conflagration is biblical. These epochal fires will join Chicago and San Francisco atop an infamous registry of American destruction….”

#AI interestingly one of the predictions for AGI was that it would be very good at forecasting financial markets. Actually, no, it's not.

I do wonder about these articles about how much money Apple spends on its tv shows. You realise that they hold $166 billion in cash or equivalent? #appletv #entertainment

#auspol Yes, Dutton's inability to connect outside the bubble is his greatest weakness. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-10/albanese-resets-message-summer-refresh/104801740?utm_source=abc_news_web&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link

In response to this post@Bot4Sale no, i wasn't terrorised by the sticker. But someone who thinks like that is a terrorist. The hotline is not for reporting terror, it's for gathering information about terrorists.

#auspol on a shopping trolley yesterday I saw a sticker which said "If you are not with Palestine you are a psychopath". I don't comment on the Middle East but I was disturbed enough by this sticker to report it to the national terror hotline. Let's be careful out there. (Yes, I did remove the sticker from the trolley).
@andyjennings if that’s terror wait till someone tells you what Israel has been doing to children all year long.

@andyjennings Terrorised by a sticker.
by ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 ;
@andyjennings i think the sticker wording is offputting but i wouldn't classify that as a terror thing. just someone being overly accusative over an issue using a word they dont even know the meaning of (apparently). i find it insulting they don't think regular non-psychopaths (it's a clinical term, people) are part of the problem too

@andyjennings "I was disturbed enough by this sticker to report it to the national terror hotline."
Please tell me this is some sort of sarcasm that has gone completely over my head.

I could not finish “Winter Road” by Kate Holden. In which an old grazier decides that to get the land cleared the best option is to kill the Environment Officer who is trying to stop him. These are bad people.

Andrew Jennings BoostedDamnit. I just accidentally clicked on the “buy it now” button for Greenland and it already charged my credit card. I don’t think there’s even space in the mailroom for this.
@mattblaze waiting for the mayor of Kallstadt to announce they need the USA for communal security and they'll send the Gemeindediener if necessary...

@mattblaze Bad news - it is ‘buyer collect’

@mattblaze The listing I saw was for FAS delivery only. Easy enough to miss during checkout.

@mattblaze ahh. Perhaps they’ll issue you Greenland as an NFT.

Title: Cabana Equality
Alt text: a cartoon I. Two frames. Frame 1: Albo is being interviewed on TV. In the background is an image of a beach covered in cabanas. Albo: “Reserving a spot on the beach with a cabana the size of a small house goes against the nation's spirit of equality...”
Frame 2: Interviewer: “Like, when some people can afford several properties and can earn tax breaks from them, while others can't afford to rent..?” Albo looks annoyed.

In my whole working career I traded intelligence for money. That path is dramatically narrowing. So what do I tell those starting out? The market values human stuff that AI cannot do. Being a highly skilled programmer is not the career path it was. https://www.axios.com/2025/01/07/openai-o3-college-students-computer-science

I studied the Advance Australia campaign to reduce the green senate vote by 2% They are targeting female greens voters aged 30-40. It is very professional. Their spokeswoman is impressive. But it reeks money. There is a reason Jackie Lambie is effective #auspol

Melbourne particularly is based on immigration. I remember an excellent article by @danielbowen that basically said every time you are stuck in congestion, remember that this is good. It shows that people want to come to your city. There is a false narrative driven by Mr Dutton that you can be wealthy but also dramatically cut immigration. This is complete bullshit, and will destroy the Australian economy. #auspol #economy
