Living on Whadjuk land. Here to cultivate kindness and empathy. Interested in calling out corruption in politics and critical thinking. Photography/art/nature lover with an appreciation of irony/satire.

#Trump was interviewed by Elon #Musk on Tuesday, and yesterday posted "unfortunately, because of the complexity of modern day equipment, and cellphone technology, my voice was, in certain areas, somewhat different and strange," on Truth Social. The wealthiest man in the world and the man who wants to be president again were stumped trying to run a #livestream using a cell phone. It’s surprising they haven’t accidentally killed themselves getting out of bed in the morning.

«"He fired the whole team to save money and because of his principles … if Musk does something and gets away with it, then other companies can follow suit."»

As social media inflames the UK race riots, Facebook makes it harder to police its platform

ABC NEWS Verify used a Meta-owned tool called CrowdTangle to help up-end a disinformation operation on Facebook that was targeting the UK race riots. Now, after years of it bringing the company public humiliation, Meta is killing off CrowdTangle for good.

💯. Government agencies should be using the Fediverse, rather than a corporation-controlled platform, to disseminate information.

Hi everyone!

It’s been a while.

I have been active on #threads since deleting twitter and trying to figure out cross posting so I’ve included a link.

If anyone has any tips they’d be gratefully received.

I’m committed to engaging more on Mastodon moving forward 😊

I don't recommend listening to it, but I want to point out that Barnaby Joyce in this interview states several times that the Voice will be 'selected not elected'.

That phrase is popular in conspiracy circles. Makes me wonder what he's Googling.

Barnaby Joyce: The Voice affects 'all Australians' - ABC Radio National

One of the big questions around the Voice relates to just two words 'executive government' and how exactly the Voice can approach and consult with ministers and departments.  Many constitutional lawyers and experts say those words are essential to give the Voice power to ensure laws relating to Indigenous Australians actually work, but there are other people who are still skeptical.

We came across this recently bloomed agave plant in silhouette one evening at sunset. The agave is aka the century plant because they only bloom once in their life. The bloom typically lasts 3-4 months after which the plant goes to agave heaven. Do not fear though … it leaves behind a clone of itself as seeds to grow and bloom again.
