There was a time. My mum’s generation. She went to uni for free and even received a stipend to study. Both my parents were broke poor and they both got free uni education in Australia in the 70’s before I was born

I don't like retweting Post links, but the news seems important. And good.
Basic decency. You love to see it.
Good excuse for me to post this again:
I first met Han Hui Hui in Yogyakarta many years ago. She’s an amazing activist. The authorities have removed her three young children because of an altercation between the children and Han Hui Hui’s mother in-law bsky.app/profile/maxw...
Han Hui Hui’s case needs a lot more media attention: the weaponisation of “child protection” to chill her activism appears quite blatant
Han Hui Hui writes:
“Women who report sexual crimes or raise concerns regarding child safety must be supported and protected. Children should never be used as leverage against a mother for exercising her right to speak on government policies.”

Say it louder, for the people in the back!
omg, nailed
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

The last few years since the referendum people have been emboldened to be more publicly racist, and at the same time support and allyship has totally dried up
There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.
My best friend’s sister, who CBP has been telling us different stories all day about, her phone just got turned back on. She is a US citizen born in Evanston. They said she was never detained at O’Hare after telling us she was, they said she was not transferred to Broadview, and now she's in a detention facility in WI.

Who could possibly have predicted that a company whose slogan is "cheat on everything" would cheat?

Hacking internet-connected civilian security cameras for recon has become a standard operating procedure of modern warfare. First for Russia and Ukraine, now for Israel and Iran.
Your insecure internet-of-things surveillance system is now their targeting system.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

It would be good if they actually published their independent research and tikanga Māori and data sovereignty approach in full, but I am not at all holding my breath there.

It's one of those fake O'Reilly book covers for Getting pwned by building apps with Claude code. Hey a computer wrote it. It's got to be secure, right? The file path in the query string will be just fine.

I don’t know about you, but watching the price of fuel rise at the bowsers over the last week has left me feeling like fuel companies are taking Australian motorists and Australian consumers for mugs.
What are you doing ACCC? @jimchalmers.bsky.social #FOI #auspol
This feels like impersonation.
Big yikes.
If you still use Grammarly, you might want to check your legal liability for continuing using it for work.
