Toxic authors threatened me and incited violence because I did the best I could to support minorities. Now, for my physical and mental health, I am no longer reviewing books or interviewing authors.
Council Estate MediaThe government quietly admits police could access passport, driving licence, and future digital ID photos for LFR. Add Palantir AI tools into the mix and you have a recipe for dystopia. It doesn’t matter what safeguards are in place because those safeguards can be removed at any point.

Live Facial Recognition is about to put everyone in the UK in a digital police line up without their consent
The UK government has announced plans to extend Live Facial Recognition (LFR) across the country, following a High Court ruling that upheld the Metropolitan Police’s use of the system.

What does she expect? For random strangers to rush up to her and fawn all over her?
If a stranger rushes up to me in the street I brace myself for what might come next.
Admittedly it’s often people admiring my seeing eye dog but sometimes (too often) it’s terrifying.

We said “never again”.
We need to stop current genocides and fulfil our promise.
BellingenNSWSocial cohesion and white supremacy in Australia
"Australia does have a serious problem with social cohesion, but it’s no good pretending it’s recent."
"Since the voice to parliament referendum emboldened the right, racists and bots swarm like flies on a turd to any Indigenous topic."
"The terror and violence usually happens on a case-by-case basis these days."
"When the Bondi royal commission was announced, there were loud calls for anti-Indigenous racism to be addressed, as well as antisemitism. The racism we endure, is, after all, as Australian as meat pies and Holden cars."

‘A white man’s fantasy’: if we want to rebuild social cohesion, we need to acknowledge where it all started to unravel
Australia has a serious problem with social cohesion, but it’s no good pretending it’s recent. Koori civilisation has been torn asunder ever since the convict ships dropped anchor

Clive ThompsonI'd been reading about the surge in prices for computer RAM, but only paying partial attention
but *wow* the increases are huge!
last july 2025 I built a new PC for myself, with 32 gigs of RAM from Microcenter -- the RAM was $83.22
i just googled the precise SKU info from my receipt, and the same RAM configuration is now $379
that's an increase of over 4X in 9-10 months
