The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Please do not take medical advice from this administration. Listen to the actual experts.
Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else.
So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

Predictably, News Corp have ignored teachers’ pleas for them to stop pitting schools against each other by publishing uncontextualised rankings. Since they’ve ignored this, I’m sharing the list of Australia’s most untrusted brands. News Corp number 8 - should be higher! A toxic stain on Australia.

A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award.
And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

Did we learn nothing from robodebt? NDIS automation will put vulnerable lives at the mercy of machines | Georgia Van Toorn
It’s hard to overstate the potential dangers of replacing discretion with algorithms in a system as consequential as the national disability insurance scheme
Never again. That was the resounding message delivered via the robodebt royal commission from the thousands of Australians whose lives and livelihoods were upended by the cruellest experiment in bureaucratic automation the country has ever seen.
Now, with plans under way to automate the calculation of individual NDIS support plans, it appears we’ve reached new heights of institutional amnesia. Once again, vital lifelines to support will be placed at the mercy of automated systems. Only this time, the mechanisms for review and redress will be vanishingly thin. Continue reading...

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.
