The Victorian ALP government will proudly open the new #StateLibrary underground train station with giant murals taken from its collections as clueless Library management is dismantling its public services & failing to properly research, protect, and tell the stories of our past & present. #fiasco

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Three clinics in inner Melbourne are being shut due to inadequate funding. These services are relied on by 12,500 people, including some of the community’s most vulnerable. Many will be unable to find alternatives, creating a healthcare crisis and putting lives in danger.

Ditto for the weekly texters to Spin Cycle. RRR is not the ABC, get over it.
To all the extremely obvious astro-turfers (thank you for your attention, it's validating 👋) in The Sunday Shot's live chat that want to see more "balance" i.e. right-wing bullshit, just watch.... I dunno, every single other show on TV? We are the balance across a decrepit landscape. You'll cope!
