The most important thing you’ll see this year, from the world’s most cited scientist.
I was invited to address the @UN Security Council this afternoon to discuss the unprecedented threat posed by uncontrolled frontier AI agents.
Humanity has summoned the courage and wisdom to manage catastrophic risks before. This is one of those moments, far bigger than any personal, commercial, or national interest. The choices we make about this technology today will shape generations to come. We must act now.

Time of Monsters: What Future for Liberalism? Enjoyed this conversation with Waleed Aly on the crisis facing liberalism, that amorphous set of ideas, at a time of mounting extremism. He’s written a very clever essay on the subject.

Very glad that the conversation on #medicalmisogny is happening with the new National Women’s Health Advisory Council. It needs to start from research to inform medicine and practice. #MonashHSCU @Monash_SPHPM
Have you ever felt like your symptoms were dismissed or ignored by a health professional? Chances are this has happened to you if you’re a woman. @darsh_ayton explains 'medical misogyny' and why the new National Women's Health Advisory Council is important. #TheDrum

At ICAC its a brand new day
To hear from another Perrotet.
They twist, they squirm, they can’t recall
They can’t remember much at all
Of who did what and who paid who -
They really haven’t got a clue.
Ten grand here, a hundred there
Came and went without a care;
So let us all praise Opus Dei
And thank them for the Perrotets.

Rex Harrison was detested by his wives and fellow performers … when an elderly lady asked him to for an autograph he told her to fuck off and she repeatedly hit him with a program. Stanley Holloway said “the fan hit the shit.

Someone needs to tell the American people what's going on in the Pentagon, and it obviously won't be Pete Hegseth, who is at war with America's senior military officers. My latest:

Glad to see that @ABCTV has procured the landmark series based on the Covid pandemic ‘This England’ and will begin airing from next Monday evening. Starring Kenneth Branagh as Boris J, it is damning. One of the most powerful things ever made for television and hugely underrated.

“This day is sacred to Australians. To change the date would be disrespectful to the ANZACs,” one respondent said.

The observation of a dangerous partisan with no grasp of the democratic principles trashed by Kerr.
A deceiver who paid no heed to the conventions of a constitutional monarchy in the Westminster tradition.

We did not know it at the time, but almost 50 years ago today, we witnessed a great Prime Minister getting dismissed. It was a major mistake because everyone now agrees it will never ever happen again. RIP Gough #auspol he was for the people, what a great man

Great to see this fantastic work published! Thrilled to have been involved with this study. Thanks @scott_lab_gmp et al., for the collaboration.
Finally able to share our work “Germline ERG haploinsufficiency defines a new syndrome with cytopenia and hematological malignancy predisposition” in full (well at least pt1). It is out as a First Edition preprint in Blood ashpublications.org/blood/ar…

Great news for peanut allergic babies!!! My 9 year old (formerly allergic) son is able to eat peanuts regularly now - thanks to a clinical trial run by MCRI when he was 2. Forever grateful we had the opportunity to be involved in that trial 🥜 💪
MCRI's Prof @KirstenPerrett has featured on the front page of @theage, discussing a national peanut oral immunotherapy program now available to children aged under 1 yr referred through an allergist at 1 of 10 hospitals. | #MedicalResearch #FoodAllergy

WOODY GUTHRIE WROTE A SONG ABOUT FRED TRUMP’S RACISM!
Anyone who says racism & predation aren’t entrenched in Donald Trump’s life is full of shit.
Beloved American songwriter WOODY GUTHRIE wrote a song called “Old Man Trump” about Donald Trump’s father, Fred C. Trump, who happened to be his landlord from 1950-52, and whose racist practices were noticed by Guthrie when he and his family moved into Trump’s Beach Haven apartments in Brooklyn. Guthrie reportedly despised Fred Trump, considering him “the mayor of Jim Crow town”, and penned the lyrics in response to the elder Trump’s openly racist & segregationist activities & policies.
“Old Man Trump”
By Woody Guthrie
“I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate
He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed that color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project
Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!
I'm calling out my welcome to you and your man both
Welcoming you here to Beach Haven
To love in any way you please and to have some kind of a decent place
To have your kids raised up in.
Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!”
