.@X has some of the worst advertising lately. Just scammy crap & in using X the last few months Community Notes basically calls out products as being scams. Thanks for that. @facebook is terrible these days too with its ads. Outright scams. You report it & it's safe apparently.

A terrific summary of the vicious, utterly unprincipled Murdoch and Stokes war on @AlboMP and the Labor government.

Free newsletter: I estimate that ~50% of AI chip sales - $200bn to $300bn+ - are sitting in warehouses, with NVIDIA selling hundreds of billions of GPUs years in advance. Data centers take way longer to build than hyperscalers are leading us to believe. wheresyoured.at/wherere-all-…

I went to see Digger knowing nothing about it except it got terrible reviews. Only went because my wife wanted to see « Emma D’Arcy » in it. We may have forgotten what is the the soul of cinema. It took me 15 minutes to be convinced I hated it. And then everything shifts. Like a fabulous allegory of the power of «narrative », a concept the movie spends an hour and half torturing in a delicious manner. Rarely a movie took me through so many different emotions, swinging like a ball in a flipper. It’s not easy to watch. It’s demanding, and that is what is formidable about it. Tom Cruise delivers an astounding performance. The best I’ve ever seen from him. One scene in particular puts him at the firmament of acting and among the greatest to do ever do it. Go watch Digger. Form your own opinion. And even if you don’t like it, you can still say that at least, you’ve seen 2hrs of true inventive CINEMA.

Disney and DreamWorks are churning out CGI sequels every year, while animators at LAIKA spent 11 years in an Oregon warehouse hand-weaving tiny coats for puppets to make Wildwood LAIKA’s last movie lost nearly $75 million in 2019 and any other studio would have pivoted to cheap animation. God bless Nike founder Phil Knight for funding his son’s stop-motion passion project so we can get actual hand-crafted cinema. Support real art.

Australia puts its money in 20 million sovereign wealth funds - individually owned superannuation in other words. We own companies all over the world. Communist Jim would rather have the government manage retirtement savings money
Norway put its money in a sovereign wealth fund. It owns companies all over the world. Australia put its money into bureaucrats and overpriced rail. One country built an asset. One built a bill.

#Insiders got through another episode without mentioning latest economic news. I suppose it was too much to expect a reference to the surge in employment and a 4.4% unemployment rate

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples: *Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village. *Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village. *Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him. *Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers. I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.
Exactly. And they cannot cite a single name of someone who died out of the “millions” they falsely claim have died. Not a single name!

Interesting that Pauline Hanson's daughter got a high paying, publicly funded job working for a NSW senator while she lives in Tasmania & spends most of her time promoting One Nation in that state. That's called nepotism & it's illegal.. #auspol #OneNation theguardian.com/australia-ne…

This is an utterly insane story: 25,000 documents reviewed by WaPo indicate that throughout Tulsi's career, her political moves were controlled by her guru, cult leader Chris Butler. This woman was leading the world's largest intelligence apparatus. washingtonpost.com/investiga…

We actually need a “Not interested, this is AI” button or a proper AI blocker. The algorithm needs to learn how badly most people don’t want AI slop.

John Oliver exposes Trump for portraying the JCPOA payment to Iran as a giveaway when it was a repayment of a preexisting debt, while simultaneously supporting a deal that gives Iran $300 billion. "If Iran called Obama a stupid son of a bitch for letting them get $1.7 billion, I think we're about to find out what the Persian word is for someone 300 times dumber than that."
