  Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Women don’t want a man with a lustful gaze, because it’s a subtle and constant form of cheating. It doesn’t make women feel safe or respected when their man can easily desire other women with his eyes or mind. Loyalty and safety begin with a disciplined eye, not just the body — Cleopatra 🪷 ✞ (@amandaperera) June 29, 2025

Whacked on the BBC Glasto coverage to see what they were showing instead of Kneecap and caught Amy of Amyl & the Sniffers giving a pro Palestine speech... Beeb editors playing whack-a-mole [image or embed] — Finbarr Bermingham ( @fbermingham.bsky.social ) June 29, 2025 at 2:41 AM Australian leadership needs to move beyond failing divisive capitalism, political neo liberalism, legacy institutions in all their forms and alliances with authoritarian fascism.  Australian politics needs to create an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.  We need a genuine pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on the already failed and irrelevant LNP oligarchy and the now "heavily mandated" ALP that has sold out our children's future with their timid reticence and refusal to listen or boldly lead. Farout Mags Rachael Pimblett  reports from Glastonberry "Frontwoman Amy Taylor began her speech stating what an honour it was to be perf...

"Too many people recognize their opinions as feelings, but mistake their beliefs for facts. Closed minds hold truths to be self-evident. Open minds are willing to question even strongly held views. Lifelong learning requires the courage to challenge our own convictions." ~ Adam Grant

[image or embed] — Victorian Socialists ( @vicsocialists.bsky.social ) June 16, 2025 at 5:31 PM Why we need new socialist parties across Australia Politics today is rigged for big corporations and the super rich. No matter who has been in power in recent decades, the billionaire class has seen its wealth soar while increasing numbers struggle just to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.  Labor won the recent federal election in a landslide. They have a clear mandate to pursue policies that will benefit working-class people (the people who, historically, Labor has claimed to represent). Yet their most important policy decision since being re-elected has been to approve...

Judging  through a myopic  lens:  people can only see  Or think they see  From their perspective.  Naturally self ignorant  when you only “hear”  A limited view…  Not malignant (just limited)  Not wrong (just misinformed)  Not evil (just gossip)  Not bad (just dis integrated)  The anxious limiters who spread assumption?  The run away brides looking for (more) attachment?  The limited alphas who silence, do not receive, let alone hear?  Jealous? Bitter? Character flaws?  Of course they are all included!  Let them be.  Still got mummies wounds. Maybe?  Still got daddies fears? Possibly?  Accept not agree  Attached  Attached  Attached minds  Are the issue  Like energy attracts like energy  Drunks attract drunks  Insecure loose lips sink ships  Loose morals  Loose lips  Loose run away vibes  Honest stoners attract honest stoners...

 “ The damage wrought to American democracy—the severity of which has taken even experts who study the rise of authoritarianism   by surprise —has been sponsored and facilitated by tech oligarchs with bizarre ideas about the future and their role in bringing it about. They appear to be bound together by a common assumption most Americans almost certainly don't share and would never endorse: that the ultimate fate of humanity is to be ruled by AI overlords without the pesky friction that human values, community, and individual freedom generate. How is it possible that a man who doesn't have an email address has found common cause with techno-authoritarians who seem to think the optimal outcome for humanity is to be replaced by computational models? What is the glue that holds together this unlikely alliance? A key, underappreciated component of these alliances between the American far right and the tech oligarchy is the shared commitment to a strategy of "accelerationism,...

  Go to the Limits of Your Longing Written by   Rainer Maria Rilke Translated and read by   Joanna Macy Listen God speaks to each of us as he makes us, then walks with us silently out of the night. These are the words we dimly hear: You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. Flare up like a flame and make big shadows I can move in. Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don’t let yourself lose me. Nearby is the country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness. Give me your hand. Book of Hours, I 59 The Devil's Advocate:  What Happens When Dissent Becomes Digital. Playing With Paradox  Sitting With Uncertainty No no no?  #TTWWADI  Or yes?  snowflake Unique & fleeting  A brief fro zen moment  What happens when  dissent becomes digital?  Beauty and terror?  No Thing Is Final  Connect NOT Attach  Keep flowing Stay curio...

 I love people that you can effortlessly  have deep eclectic conversations with  regardless of whether you agree with them;  where it’s less about being in unison about the ideas and more about exploring creative ways of being, Fresh concepts and interesting,  vibrant perceptions,  Depth, fun, mentally stimulating & fascinating.

Protecting my peace is my priority.  If others are limited or shallow or emotionally unavailable,  keep any contact you have to have  As transactional and detached.  Observe.  Do not absorb.  These energies are not wrong or bad or evil.  Merely limited.  Listen with love, of course, accept, do not agree,  just do not sell out your peace  to limited low vibe energy that disturbs your peace  or insults your soul.  Cease the reaching. Let them be.  Do not engage. Let the moment be.  Exactly what it is.  Don't pour energy into a squeaky void. The people pleasers, the perfectionists, the counterfeit empaths without discerning standards. Avoid these energies if they bully or threaten or project or assume or over share or even remain attached to their inherited un integrated inter generational conditioning. (aka mummy or daddy or sibling “wounds”)   If they're argumentative, agree playfully and disengage....

  Thrilled to announce the official publication of my new book — The Mechanic and the Luddite: A Ruthless Criticism of Technology and Capitalism Grab my book to go beyond the vaporous hype and get the real material analysis of technological capitalism that we all need! www.ucpress.edu/books/the-me... [image or embed] — Jathan Sadowski ( @jathansadowski.com ) January 6, 2025 at 8:46 AM The Mechanic and the Luddite A Ruthless Criticism of Technology and Capitalism Jathan Sadowski This short book demystifies how the two systems of technology and capitalism work together and equips readers with practical tools to dismantle them and build a better world, bit by bit.   Our society is constantly made to serve the needs of two systems: technology and capitalism. Neither exists outside humans, but both are treated as above and beyond us.  The Mechanic and the Luddite  offers the critical tools needed to deconstruct these systems—how they work, whom they work for, and what wo...

When we share work in progress, we need space to talk and listen with curious uncertainty. And we need to be listened to with genuine inquiry and curiously unfolding understanding. This takes generosity, openness, and care on all our parts. It's not easy, but it feels essential. ~ Brigid Russell
