Absolutely gutwrenching article written by a woman named FIONA BARNETT for @independentaus.bsky.social in 2014.

Over 11 years later, I am quite sure NOTHING has been acted upon by any tier of law enforcement to investigate any of her claims.

I have had this 4CD #ElvisPresley collection for many years. Until recently, I had only listened to no. 1 & 2 - his early stuff.

Because I was always dismissive of most of Elvis's post 69' music.

But just lately I put on no. 4 disc & discovered this honky tonk gem from 1976.

Most #ElectricLightOrchestra songs to varying degrees bear a sound that represented #JeffLynne' s lifelong obsession with #TheBeatles.

Which was a bit excessive but ELO's songs were always rich in texture with hook laden melodies.

This is more of an obscure ELO song I like.

Fishing line gets tangled on things and breaks off and, unfortunately, it can also be a threat to wildlife, nature, etc.

Yesterday, I spotted #fishingline 🎣 in the middle of the #river . Couldn't let a bird or something get tangled or strangled with the line.🙏🏻It was all over an area.😲

Firstly let me say that I just wish that every #AI chip in existence would be vaporised in a thermonuclear dungeon. 😂😄.

That's what I think of AI.

Regards #Trump giving the green light to #NVIDIA AI chips being sold to #China, you got to think - what is his malicious agenda?

What a whole lot of BS this is about Australians "harnessing the great benefits of #AI", to "improve our lives, increase productivity & reap the rewards that go with it". 🙄🙄

FFS! You only got to log into Facebook to know that all AI is a menace to civilization.

Libertarian Party MLC #JohnRuddick is calling out the @albomp.bsky.social government's U16 social media ban laws for what they will "actually achieve", and that ain't protecting U16s from online harms.

Rather they will promote U16s to engage on the " #darkweb".

A "review of intelligence & law enforcement", which will only be finished and published in April, IMO is a "pissweak offering" from #Albanese in the aftermath of the #Bonditerrorattack.

If Albanese was any statesman he would be 100% in support of a "federal" Royal Commission.

The greatest of all female singers, including #JanisJoplin, #EttaJames, #ArethaFranklin and #WhitneyHouston (before she "succumbed" to hip hop) could really beef it out, and sing with gusto and sheer raw emotive power, but the late #EvaCassidy ❤️ was in a league of her own.

Thanks for sharing Diane.

#EvaCassidy , w/her powerful vocals & 🎸, lived in #Maryland up until her death at age 33. 🙏

She could sing a variety of songs & completely own them, as if she herself had written them.

What did the Productivity Commission even have to think about?

It's like - it should have swiftly scuttled the proposal to allow big tech to "mine" what is the intellectual property of artists & creators in Australia.

#AI is FAKE BULLSHIT and a great threat to all artists.
