A girl forgets her homework for the first time and gets detention even though she has the highest grade in her class. Meanwhile, a boy in that class who also forgot their homework is given another chance, even though he sits playing computer games every lesson and is performing poorly in fortnightly tests. A group of girls films a fun TikTok at their school ball and gets suspended for a week. The boys brazenly say every slur under the sun and get away with it.
"Pathologising human trauma as mental illnesses is genius. The victims are given lifelong labels and medications to internalise their suffering and are told to 'work on themselves, whilst systems of abuse and power never have to change." Dr Jessica Taylor, Chartered Psychologist
Filicide offenders by gender: The data shows gender does not affect who becomes a victim of filicide. However, when it comes to committing filicide, offenders are predominately men.

Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism Sarah Wynn-Williams 倧ε₯³ε₯³ε₯³η« 4.12 131,768 ratings β€’ 21,084 reviews Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Readers Favorite Memoir (2025) Shocking and darkly funny, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to the decisions that are shaping our world and the people who make them. Welcome to Facebook. Sarah Wynn-Williams, a young diplomat from New Zealand, pitched for her dream job. She saw Facebook's potential and knew it could change the world for the better. But, when she got there and rose to its top ranks, things turned out a little different. From wild schemes cooked up on private jets to risking prison abroad, Careless People exposes both the personal and political fallout when boundless power and a rotten culture take hold. In a gripping and often absurd narrative, Wynn-Williams rubs shoulders with Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg and world leaders, revealing what really goes on among the global elite - and the consequences this has for all of us. Candid and entertaining, this is an intimate memoir set amid powerful forces. As all our lives are upended by technology and those who control it, Careless People will change how you see the world.
We are deploying responsibly developed Al to liberate humanity from menial labor and usher in an era of unparalelled creativity and abundance." - Sam Altman You ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation, and without credit, to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the people whose work you consumed. You are not liberating human creativity - you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft 'training data.' -Naomi Klein
The massive coalition of local newspaper publishers filed a federal lawsuit today against OpenAl and Microsoft, alleging the technology companies systematically copied copyrighted reporting from nearly 400 local newspapers to train and develop commercial artificial intelligence products, including ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, without permission or compensation. The publishers, represented by Platkin LLP, a law firm founded earlier this year by former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin, contend that OpenAl and Microsoft unlawfully appropriated original news content to build their Al systems, violating the Copyright Act and threatening the future of local journalism.

1. One Nation's free speech policy says it "will always stand for your right to speak, debate and express your views". Yet in April your party directed that "branches and members will be subject to strict gag orders, all committee members and nominees must sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), while branches must agree to a 'media silence' and a social media ban." Did you authorise that direction and why does One Nation so severely restrict the free speech of its most committed supporters? 2. You said in your recent podcast with the Sydney Morning Herald's chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal that Gina Reinhart's views are "very in line with my views'. Do you think your supporters have the same priorities as Australia's richest person? 3. What is your plan to clean up politics and restore trust in our democracy?
Maybe we should rename "artificial intelligence" as "plagiarised information synthesis system"... ... and call it PISS rather than Al?
It gets worse. Last month it emerged Hanson has been billing taxpayers for at least $13,000 in travel to fundraising events and political networking - including the flights she took to catch Rinehart's private jet to a conservative conference at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.3 Two weeks ago it emerged she and Barnaby Joyce billed taxpayers more than $3,000 in flights to attend Rinehart's private donor events on the world's largest privately-owned cruise ship, when it docked in Hobart over the new year.4
Spare me all the whining on taxes By TOM HIRD Since the federal budget, social media has been full of memes casting government as a "silent partner" in small business: entrepreneurs take the risk, do the work, and Canberra-specifically Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the memes - turns up with a hand out for 47%. It is a good line. It is also misleading. I am what people now call a "founder". I run an economic consultancy company. I used to be a salaried employee paying the top marginal tax rate, but 20 years ago my business partner and I started our own company. We worked harder and earned more, but fundamentally did the same work we did before. Yet I paid much less tax. Like many small-business people now complaining bitterly about the government's proposed tax changes, I have taken advantage of numerous tax breaks for founders. I had a family trust own my share of the company; distributed income to family members on low tax rates; paid out only what we needed to live on, avoiding the top marginal personal tax rate; retained the rest inside the company, accumulating value over time; and can live off retained earnings in my retirement or sell some or all of the company and potentially access the CT discount. When founders say, "I worked hard, didn't pay myself a salary and poured the profits back into the business", spare me. Yes, we all did that, not because we were saints, but at least in part because it helped us reduce tax. Most of this is still allowed. A salaried employee with taxable income of $200,000 pays income tax on the whole amount above the tax-free threshold - about $60,000. (Not to mention The question is not whether the tax system should have concessions for entrepreneurs that salaried employees don't receive. I happen to think that it should. But does 12 to 20% tax on $1 million strike the right balance? If you think 30% is closer to the right balance, then you should be applauding the government's budget and its proposed minimum 30% tax rate on…

Downwind of Truth with Kait Justice: Ashley St. Clair, the mother of one of Elon Musk's children who worked on his political operation through the 2024 election cycle, posted a video this week alleging that in October 2024, while they were alone together, Musk told her he was ready to release what he called his "anomaly in the matrix" ". He described it as 10,000 lasers in space referring to his Starlink satellites, and that whatever this was would be "not a piece they'll see on the chessboard." She says she stopped asking questions because she did not want to be deposed later and Musk told her "very wise." She also says he sent her what she called "real-time delta vote metrics" from his America PAC, data so detailed and so fast that she could not understand how any campaign operation could possibly have it. On election night at Mar-a-Lago she says Musk told her over text that he knew hours earlier Trump had won. "My team has the best real-time data
The Australian Government has adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition of antisemitism, a definition criticised for equating antisemitism with criticism of Israel. It follows from this that, if the actions of Israel are largely responsible for the surge in antisemitic behaviour, then arguing that Israel's actions are driving antisemititsm may be dismissed as yet another example of antisemitism itself: a catch 22 Joseph Heller would be proud

Here are the key details based on recent data: β€’ Primary Destinations: In 2024, Australia's largest LNG markets were China (33%), Japan (32%), South Korea (15%), and Taiwan (10%). β€’ Shipping Routes: These shipments travel primarily northward through the South China Sea, bypassing the Middle East Gulf corridor entirely. β€’ Gulf Corridor Context: While Japan and South Korea rely heavily on the Strait of Hormuz for oil, they import Australian LNG as a diversified, secure supply that does not pass through that bottleneck. β€’ Total Exports: Australia is one of the world's top three LNG exporters, with about 83% of its gas production exported in FY2024-25.

Shuliak's background warrants scrutiny. She was introduced to Epstein in 2009, almost immediately after his release from prison in Florida, through an unnamed Russian woman described as a mutual friend. She met him for the first time in Minsk, her hometown. Epstein coached her to pose as a domestic worker to enter the United States. He later instructed her to form a sham marriage with Jennifer Kalin, a former Epstein survivor and ex-girlfriend of Elon Musk's brother, Kimball. The marriage lasted five years, long enough for Shuliak to gain her U.S. citizenship. Epstein also donated a massive amount of money to get Columbia University to accept Shuliak to its dental surgery program after it initially rejected her application. The bribe worked. She graduated in 2015. Shuliak also worked for Southern Trust Company, Epstein's U.S. Virgin Islands entity that processed $184 million through Deutsche Bank between 2013 and 2019 - described in court filings as a conduit for payments to young foreign women. Shuliak inherited Epstein's estate, including Zorro Ranch, upon his death. She subsequently sold Little Saint James β€” Epstein's private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands β€” for $60 million to Stephen Deckoff, billionaire founder of Black Diamond Capital Management.
