I don't understand why people are still on X, and after these changes, I mean, really
Musk: X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. ...the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts.
Brace for another wave of x refuges

I’ve hesitated to weigh in on U.S. domestic issues — but with climate breakdown and authoritarian regimes undermining democracy worldwide, it’s time to embrace our shared global citizenship and stand for democracy, pluralism, and the rule of law everywhere.

Good on Australia for doing this! It’s such a deceptive practice to tell customers their price is increasing because of AI, when the old price is still available without genAI but only if you try to cancel.

Intersex rights are human rights!

On #IntersexAwarenessDay, we acknowledge that every person has the right to health, dignity, and freedom. When intersex people are denied those rights, all human rights are weakened. #IntersexAwarenessWeek

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

To my knowledge, there has been NO EVIDENCE
that any of these victims were DRUG TRAFFICKERS.
Trump murdered more fishermen.

This is the tenth strike so far. At least 43 people have been killed since September.

For reference there have been 50 federal executions since 1927.

How about we shift from centre-right dweebs dishonestly trying to reframe our intentions and towards actually being honest with people about how renewable energy only makes your bills cheaper, cuts air pollution and cuts greenhouse gases if politicians actually directly tackle corporate power

Instead of praising Trump the media should be asking why it took him so long & why he waited for the US & Israel to become completely isolated from the world for him to lift a finger when there was an obvious genocide going on. Trump & Netanyahu will forever be war criminals.

I'm at the stage where I no longer get my news from the Australian mainstream news media. Not even "our ABC". Rather, I'm enjoying the informed, nuanced commentary from some outstanding independent news sources. Please reply with your suggestions who I should be reading. 👇 #auspol #JournalismMatters
