It is staggering how many welfare systems and process are operating unlawfully, and how little coverage there is about it bsky.app/profile/jere...
Dear Lord. Centrelink says 144 different parts of its system have been operating unlawfully or erroneously.
This scandal of 44k overpaid debts is just ONE of the 144 issues they say they've identified.
The welfare system is in complete crisis & disarray

The catalyst for the implosion of Adelaide Writers' Week may have been the board’s exclusion of Randa Abdel-Fattah on January 8, but the fight over her inclusion in the program had been running at board level for months, reports Nick Feik.

I'm a trans woman who, if anyone ever asks, will give my deadname as a different male name each time. It's been the single fastest way to find people who talk behind my back. If that name leaks I know just who leaked it and just who to instant block forever.

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

Are any other artists withdrawing from the festival in solidarity, besides writers in the writers week block? It’s the same board responsible for the entire festival as far as I know but i could be wrong.

After several decades of monitoring their activities, it's still odd, even if explicable, to witness public figures express shock & surprise at the existence of nazis in AUS, & almost invariably only when it's thrust in their/our faces. So too, immediate calls for more laws & more police.
Anyway.
