Grace slayed so hard she even managed to get the daily aus to say the word 'genocide'

just did an AI capability diagnostic for a 100-person company in Australia. they purchased Microsoft Copilot for everyone. here's how employees are actually using it: - 50% using it like Google (1-3 words prompts..., 25~ chats a day) - 25% not using it at all - 15% using other tools secretly (10% on Manus, 5% on ChatGPT) - 9% actually using it properly for daily to do manual tasks - 1% uses Claude and completly automated their role but told no one the company paid for 100 licenses only 9 people are getting value meanwhile in SF we're debating AGI timelines the gap between "AI is everywhere" and "people actually using AI" is massive we're not in an AI revolution. we're in an adoption crisis.

Social cohesion in Australia is based on demanding migrants leave foreign conflicts behind when they come here -- while we reserve the right to bomb and invade countries and support genocide. And voters are getting sick of the hypocrisy. crikey.com.au/2026/02/18/our…

URGENT! Let's stay focused on Gaza, and the rest of occupied Palestine.▶️Israeli soldiers-including European citizens/double nationals-continue to slaughter Palestinian civilians. Politicians should use their leverage to stop 🇮🇱 crimes instead of trying to silence the critiques.

No surprise we still haven't seen the crackdown on gambling advertising (that 75% of Australians want!) when their representatives from the major parties continue to accept gifts and donations from the gambling industry. Almost three years after the Murphy Review was handed down it's shameful the govt hasn't taken action to curb the harms of gambling ads. theguardian.com/australia-news…

ON THE FUTURE OF AUSTRALIA It's clear to me that many people think the world and the way things are is static. And that things will continue to be what they have been recently, unless we intervene. This makes political priorities focus on adjusting how things are today rather than positioning Australia for tomorrow. Australia has been following this journey over the last 2 decades... accumulating $1t debt whilst the quality of life for people has been declining. We've been put on the back foot. We talk about inflation, interest rates the economy and jobs like it's a weather pattern and we're just observing it, not the ones active in and amongst it. The economy is the net result of all actions done inside and with our country. The world right now is a fast changing place, and Australia is well positioned if we tackle the right problems. But we have to be clear on the direction we'd like to go as a country. What's missing to me are value-based heuristics that everyone can get behind. This creates a framework for leadership to have decisive decision-making amongst a fast-changing world. It also creates a sense of national unity, not increasing divide. Political leanings should be based on how to execute towards this shared vision. I'm increasingly skeptical about the quality of the skillsets that get developed as a career politician, because it seems that the main skillset is "how to play politics". Talking points of no real substance during interviews, impromptu debates on talkshow segments, nobody knows what's going on or why decisions are really being made. We jump into policies that are confusing, rushed through parliament and you have to be a detective or conspiracy theorist to try and understand the true intent, or think about downstream consequences. Values-based heuristics shift the conversation from A vs B, to "how do we get to our shard vision?" Here are some examples: - cheap & abundant energy (with minimal environmental impact) - encourage and support resource/infrastructure projects approvals, whilst maintaining high enviro/social standards (i.e. hold a high bar, but don't fuck them around, limiting future investment) - housing policy that prioritises owner-occupiers - excellence in govt services (delivering services to a high standard and cost-effectively) - leadership in areas strategic to Australia's global positioning - stewardship and care for the land - a great quality of life for the everyday Aussie We're currently going through a one in a generation transformation. Let's not fumble this. Australia, it's time to build.💪

@ScottMcKeon_ This is super interesting to me

alpha school is pretty undeniable as a modern model of schooling who’s building this in Australia?

This is horrendous to see. God save Gaza.

Their suffering is endless!

When someone says: "I don't know how to help"? But all I'm asking is for people share and leave a dot. 3 replies — even dots — can save my children 💔 To donate 👇👇 gofund.me/a3b90f53

🚨UPDATE/ BREAKING: After intense efforts, Maria Kashko, 1 year and 7 months old, has finally been recovered. She will no longer sleep under the rubble. She was rescued, but to her grave. At least she won’t remain among the 10,000 civilians missing under the ruins.

Israel killed 34 Palestinians in #Gaza in the last 24 hours, including 18 children.

Ever wondered what the difference is between "rattling" a ceasefire and being in "violation" of one? Allow Sydney Morning Herald to explain.

From #Gaza, I stand in full solidarity with #Sudan and the Sudanese people

The violence in Sudan has left our Sudanese community heartbroken and feeling helpless. I'm hopeful Australia can work with international partners to push for safe passage, humanitarian aid and peace. sbs.com.au/news/article/a…

@bentkennedy You’re this kind of person through and through.

My least favourite startup founder is the one that moves from idea to idea like it’s a college project There are times where you should let it go but MOST of the time it’s because they don’t have that iron in them Resilience is everything. Stick it out when the going gets tough
