Interesting that Australia is there at all with a spend of $36B up from $34.4B in 2023.
Our population is only 27M.
JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

The #WimWenders' take 'No movie has really changed any politician’s idea' seems an astonishingly naive thing to say... in Berlin... at a festival that began before the Berlin wall was built.

Why research should be non-profit #1.
In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social wrote that the phrase "nobody saw it coming" tells you who the speaker considers to be "nobody"

Because plenty of "nobodies" DID see it coming: feminists, black people, disabled activists, environmental justice activists, indigenous people, trans and other queer people...

In publishing 'fresh voices' usually means younger debut authors.
For readers, 'fresh voices' usually means anything they've just discovered which speaks to them, from Socrates to Austen to Baldwin to Lucashenko.

Both images seem so relevant.

Meanjin has been saved from the Melbourne University capitalist death pit. Actual good things can still happen. Occasionally.
Very unexpected and welcome news!

QUT will become the new custodian of Meanjin, Australia's most eminent literary journal, bringing the publication back to Brisbane.

I watch a lot of creative process recordings. They're always astonishing. And creative process has inspired: shows like pottery throwdown, making of docos, extended editions, directors cuts, the art toy industry, residencies, readings, festivals etc
I cannot imagine an #AI equivalent.

This book has the most scathing dedication by an illustrator I have ever seen (and he is completely right)

Okay @damonyoung.com.au I went to Threads and read some publishing and author stuff - because how bad could it be - and now I hate myself.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

'That's not what it means.'
Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

“So what’s left over for me after your fees and the subagents’ fees and the withholding tax?”

This job is for an #AI prompt writer' but isn't a job for a prompt writer.
When your data is as compromised as AI data, the bad data problems will be neverending - invalid data, biased data, incomplete data etc.
The job is to try and train the system to recognise bad data and not vomit it out.

Currently reading Sally Coulthard's The Book of the Frog.
A complete joy to read.
I did not know that all toads are frogs.

Me: They said it was chocolate!
Surgeon after pumping my stomach: and...
Me: chocolate?
Surgeon: tube...
Me: ?
Surgeon: slime
Me: ?
Surgeon: mold.
Me: Never had such a bad reaction to chocolate before. Inexplicable.
