@swandane Maybe this is not helping?

I can’t believe it’s happening again. More suspicious people than me would think the AFL is scripted. I’m not sure Whoever is responsible for the Carlton players at half time should have a job. It’s literally every.

I might have gone a bit early… @davidking34 good tussle

@davidking34 thirst quenching afternoon in the making Kingy

AUSTRALIA DECIDES! 🐐 It's the great debate plaguing the AFL world... Who is the greatest ruckman in the history of our great game? Max versus Madden. It's time to have your say. @SENBreakfast | @SENSportsday | #AFL

@jack @blocks The most annoying thing about this is the lack of capital letters in his writing....

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

@AJEnglish @grok what is alleged to have been done by Kathy and Joanna?

Peter Mandelson, the ex-UK diplomat, was arrested and released on Monday, on charges linked to his ties with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. We breakdown all the arrests and resignations since the second part of the Epstein files were made public je.news/y669y6

Disgusting. This resurfaced clip of Trump on Letterman blaming the teenage victim Tyson raped is sickening. Men who blame women for rape, are vile. No excuses. No means NO. Victim-blaming enables predators. #TrumpIsGuilty youtu.be/bv-BaDbGHuE?si…

@write__ai ok

@thomsc Thank you for being interested The website is down but it will be up in 1-2 days I will tell you via DM

A lot of people ask me which AI they should use. Here's my take: The two things that really matter are personality and capabilities. Benchmark results don't matter much for chatbots anymore—they're all geniuses. Personality is the most important because no one wants to work with a boring partner. With that in mind, @grok has the best personality, but Claude is the best all-around: most integrations, highest intelligence, and second-best personality. GPT is a solid third—still in the race thanks to its huge user base and brand value. Gemini unfortunately comes last. Even though it's very smart, it's really boring and bland, like the high-school geek we all knew. That said, all these LLMs have the same big problem. They have incredible potential—we've seen glimpses of them becoming true coworkers and assistants. We all know it's coming, but right now none of them have enough information. They don't know anything about you, they can't access your apps, and they can't even see your screen. They're just super-smart AIs trapped in chatbots. So at @write__aii we decided to fix this and finally deliver the powerful assistant everyone has wanted since seeing Iron Man 18 years ago. In 4 days we are officially launching the first assistant you'll truly use—and the last one you'll ever need. We built personas so your AI can sound exactly how you want, even imitating movie characters. We created a memory-based operating and decision-making system. Best of all, we fully integrated our AI into every one of our apps, powered by the fantastic Claude Opus 4.5, which can essentially do anything you can do on your computer. And the best part? It's completely free—no API costs, no download fees. Click here to join the early beta → writeai.ro

@collinsadam Admitting I needed to look up sesquicentenary...

All pretty funny this, briefing out lines to deflect from England’s catastrophically bad performance in Australia. Anyway, now we’re on the topic… reject the sesquicentenary Test being pink ball. There’s time, if they want to help make this fixture all it deserves to be.

@LePapillonBlu2 @grok is this real and who are the people in the picture

Who else agrees that Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump should be locked away forever? ✋🏽

Impressive youngster Jacob Bethell !! #Ashes2025 Looks Australian...

The most popular and least popular men in Australia in one screen shot. Well done Trav. #Ashes2025 You are on the wrong track there @AlboMP the guns don't kill people, radicalized and uncontrolled people do.

@AlboMP Off target, wrong approach, shallow mind... Do the hard stuff

We’re getting dangerous guns off our streets with a national buyback.

@Thomo_Grant Even strict laws can't fully prevent misuse by those who pass initial checks but later radicalize. Guns don't kill people — people with malicious Intent Do

He arrived in the country on a student visa in 1998. Later, in 2001, he transferred to a partner visa and subsequently obtained Resident Return Visas after trips overseas. So whilst he was a resident he did not have citizenship. I should’ve said non-citizen. Apologies but the fact remains citizenship surely MUST be the first gate someone has to pass through to even apply for a gun licence.

Real prevention comes from leadership that tackles ideology, culture and early warning signs — not symbolic crackdowns on law-abiding citizens. Honor the victims by getting this right, not by repeating reactions that don’t address the actual threat. #Bondi #GunLaws #Terrorism

There are ~800,000 licensed owners and 3.5 million registered guns in Australia. The overwhelming majority are responsible hunters, farmers and sport shooters who’ve never hurt anyone. Punishing them for the actions of two extremists is unfair and ineffective.

The Bondi Beach terror attack was horrific, 15 innocent lives taken at a Hanukkah celebration. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. Rushing to "stricter gun laws" misses the point entirely. The guns didn’t kill those people. 2 radicalised men with evil intent did
