AI products that do a shitty impression of someone’s dead loved one for money are some of the most depraved and sadistic forms of “big tech innovation” that I’ve seen. Like the emotional manipulation and disrespecting the dead IS the product

I’m 15 years old and have a disability. Social media has been a lifeline – why is the government kicking me off? | Ezra Sholl
I’m 15 years old and have a disability. Social media has been a lifeline – why is the government kicking me off? | Ezra Sholl
As I come to terms with life as a quadriplegic, Instagram and TikTok are a reminder that I’m not alone
The government has decided that from Wednesday I should be banned from social media because of the potential harm it can cause. But as a teenager with a severe disability, who relies on social media for connection, community and access to a largely inaccessible world, this policy actually has the potential to create further harm.
When I was 12, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which triggered a rare nerve condition that has paralysed me. My preteen years were spent in an ICU ward, on a ventilator, going through chemotherapy. Before I got sick I did not have any social media. It turned out that all I had to do was end up in a coma, because when I woke, I had a new iPhone14, with every accessibility feature. Having Instagram and Snapchat made me feel less disconnected. I had a window into the outside world, and my friends had a window into my world between hospital visits. Continue reading...

From protest laws to deaths in custody, Minns’ rush to claim the conservative high ground is clumsy and costly
From protest laws to deaths in custody, Minns’ rush to claim the conservative high ground is clumsy and costly
At almost every opportunity, the NSW premier chooses a conservative path: get the cops on side and let nobody fault Labor’s toughness on crime. It’s not working

There is a lesson for Chris Minns in the NSW supreme court’s declaration that police powers to deal with protesters near places of worship are invalid: laws curtailing civil liberties should never be rushed.
They should certainly not be pushed through in an atmosphere of panic and incomplete facts such as existed in the fevered days after the now notorious Dural caravan incident.

Labor of course do not need one single vote of the LNP to pass any laws, so they are choosing to make the laws weaker.
I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit scared of any new ‘environment laws’ that Labor can get Matt Canavan and Andrew Hastie to vote for…I think they will be better described as ‘ how to build more mines faster laws’ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

“Actually Romantic” is a diss track, sure (and a pretty mean one), but it’s also Taylor’s confession that she lives for the drama, and she’ll find an enemy if none presents itself. She’s not the put-upon victim of Reputation any more, but a superpower spoiling for a fight.
why does Taylor Swift devote a full song on her shortest album in nearly 20 years to punching down at a fellow pop star? For the same reason she always has—she gets off on it.
