London's Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) and Melbourne's Metro Tunnel have a lot in common.
The Elizabeth Line is a roaring success. Key to this is quick frequent connections. Easy interchange will be equally important for Melbourne's Metro Tunnel and connecting suburban lines.

#TheCastle is on Channel 9 this Monday (Dec 1) at 8:40pm! (If you can tear yourself away from @sampangtonight.bsky.social, that is.) @tlschampagne.bsky.social
Heads up! Channel 9 are airing Iconic Aussie Movies on Monday nights. It's Crocodile Dundee this Monday (dunno if it's the Encore Cut), but #TheCastle and #TheDish will be part of the season. Sadly, #AnyQuestionsForBen isn't iconic... yet. @tlschampagne.bsky.social

#Melbourne #MetroTunnel opening publicly tomorrow. City Square and the new stations looking good. I’m told lots more test runs over the next few months before they ramp up to the full service.

Good thread.
When you see it all laid out, after point after points, it's mind-blowing. And you'll notice that didn't even get into how AI steals from writers and artists. There's so much. How anyone, confronted with all of this, could support AI is baffling

We're trading all of that damage for what? Something that might be able to code faster except if you ask the people who know how to code already who say it doesn't even work that well? We're trading it for a toy. For any 1 thing it does well, it does 10,000 poorly. It's fucking useless.

A sincere thank you to everyone who has already watched our new video. I am so grateful to be able to do anything creatively, especially weird, niche, long things like this. This project in total took a year and a half to complete, and I am thrilled that many of you enjoyed it.
So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

In case you needed one more reason not to use AI …

The CEO of ChatGPT is blaming a teen’s suicide on his failure to follow the terms of service:

Adam Raine, 16, told ChatGPT he was suicidal and the AI bot told him his feelings were valid and even provided suggestions and detailed instructions.
OpenAI says teen's 'misuse' of ChatGPT is to blame for his suicide, because he broke the TOU: 'Users must comply with OpenAI's Usage Policies, which prohibit the use of ChatGPT for suicide or self-har...
The lawyer presenting Adam Raine's family calls the response "disturbing" and I have to agree.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
