Just when the US people are putting a barge pole between themselves and President Trump, Albanese is giving him a bear hug.
Here’s a message from the Australian people for him: End AUKUS.

Hafta sonu bu videoyu 3 kere başa sarıp sarıp tekrar izledim.
Cate Blanchett, Tokyo’da ödül alıyor. Dünyanın en iyi aktrislerinden biri, kürsüye çıkıyor ve ilk söylediği şey şu: Söyleyemediğimiz o kadar çok şey var ki.
Cate, konuşmaya kelimelere güvenmediğini söyleyerek başladı ve anında bütün salonu avucunun içine aldı.
Ama beni asıl yakalayan şey sessizliği kullanmasıydı daha doğrusu bedeninin sessizliğini.
Dört dakika boyunca doğru dürüst elini bile kaldırmadı. Omuz oynatmadı, kafa sallamadı. Eller masanın altında, gövdesi ağaç gibi.
Yıllardır insanlara; heyecanınızı sesinize verin ellerinize vermeyin diyorum. Bunu bu kadar temiz yapan birini çok az gördüm.
Cate, konuşmanın neredeyse tamamını kağıttan okudu. Başı eğik, gözleri metinde. Ama arada başını kaldırdı, pembe gözlüğünün üstünden salona bakıp bir cümle söyledi.
Konuşmasından aklımda kalan cümleleri yazdım. Hepsi başını kaldırdığı anlar. İnsan kağıttan ne zaman koparsa, dinleyici o cümleleri yanında götürür.
Sonra asıl bomba geldi. Ödül kürsüsünde, herkesin başarının sırlarını anlattığı yerde dedi ki: Şüphe çoğu zaman özgüven eksikliği sanılır. Oysa şüphe benim başlangıç noktam. Hala her işe bunu yapmalı mıyım diye sorarak başlıyormuş.
Sokrates’ten beri bilinen bir şey var. İnsan, tereddüdünü saklamayana güvenir çünkü tereddüt taklit edilemez.
Cate, bu kuralı anlatmakla yetinmedi, kendi üzerinde de gösterdi.
Gelelim kapanışa. Konuşması “kelimeler insanı suskun bırakır” diye açılmıştı. “Bu ödül beni suskun bıraktı” diye kapandı. Homeros’un bile kullandığı çok eski bir teknik. Başladığın yere geri dön, dinleyici hikayenin bittiğini zerrelerinde hissetsin.
İyi bir konuşmada en zor iş fazlalıkları çıkarmaktır. Uzun zamandır bu kadar temiz bir konuşma dinlememiştim.
Retoriği kanlı, canlı görmek istiyorsanız bu konuşmayı çok dikkatli izleyin.

The narratives we should be focusing on when it comes to AI are the ones that hold the tech industry accountable.
@NYCMayor Mamdani and comedian @ilazer dug into reasserting this kind of public control over our lives at The People’s AI Assembly, co-hosted with @MorePerfectUS.

Writer @NaomiAKlein says the rapid rise of artificial intelligence is part of a much longer project of privatization. "After 50 years of outsourcing and hollowing out of public functions of the state, the very last stage is the outsourcing of thinking, of intelligence itself."

Journaliste Piers Morgan :
« Écoutez, M. Poutine a... il est très intelligent. Vous le connaissez mieux que la plupart des gens. »
L'ancien président des États-Unis Bill Clinton :
« Oui, je le connais bien. »
Piers Morgan :
« Comment était-il derrière les portes fermées, en dehors de ses, vous savez, discours publics ? »
Bill Clinton :
« Intelligent et remarquablement... nous avions vraiment une bonne relation ouverte. »
Piers Morgan :
« À quel point honnête ? »
Bill Clinton :
« Spontanément honnête, franche, ouverte. »
Piers Morgan :
« Était-ce parfois comme... vous savez, des échanges musclés ? »
Bill Clinton :
« Non, non. Mais je pense que... je pense que la bonne stratégie dans la plupart des cas est... mais pour les gens de votre domaine, c'est frustrant. Vous devriez être spontanément honnête avec les gens en privé. Et quand vous voulez ensuite qu'ils vous aident, essayez d'éviter de les humilier publiquement.
Eh bien, parfois ils font des choses qui rendent impossible pour vous de vous taire. Mais globalement, j'ai découvert que toutes les personnes avec qui j'ai traité appréciaient quand je leur disais la vérité. Comment je le ressentais sincèrement, quels étaient nos intérêts et quels étaient nos objectifs. Et elles appréciaient aussi que je ne les attaque pas publiquement pendant toute la période où je ne pouvais pas les attaquer. Donc, vous savez, c'est mon expérience. »
Piers Morgan :
« Poutine a-t-il déjà violé un accord personnel qu'il avait conclu avec vous ? »
Bill Clinton :
« Non. Il ne l'a jamais fait. »
Piers Morgan :
« Donc, derrière les portes fermées, on pouvait lui faire confiance ? »
Bill Clinton :
« Il a tenu sa parole dans tous les accords que nous avons conclus. »
À l'inverse de Merkel, Hollande, Macron, Bush, Biden et consorts, le président Vladimir Vladimirovitch Poutine est un homme qui tient ses engagements.
Dans les affaires commerciales, comme dans les relations inter-étatiques, la confiance se mérite.
Vladimir Poutine n'a trahi personne.
Il fait ce qu'il dit et dit ce qu'il fera.
Il suffit de se donner la peine de l'écouter pour connaître l'avenir.
Même Trump respecte le président russe !
Comment faire autrement ?
Vladimir Vladimirovitch Poutine a déclaré publiquement que son pays
- n'attaquera pas l'Europe
- qu'il est prêt à reprendre les livraisons de gaz et de pétrole à l'Europe
- qu'il est prêt à normaliser immédiatement les relations avec l'Europe
- que la guerre en Ukraine peut s'arrêter si les conditions fixées par la Russie sont acceptées
- qu'il est disposé à discuter avec tous les dirigeants européens
- qu'il n'abandonnera jamais l'Iran
- que le partenariat stratégique avec la Chine est indestructible
Trump déclare qu'il souhaite faire une escale en Russie pour discuter avec Poutine avant de rencontrer Xi Jinping en novembre.
Trump, Poutine et Xi Jinping établiront un partage du monde en zones d'influence.
Exit l'Europe suicidaire, insignifiante, vassalisée et mondialiste.
La Russie, la Chine et les États-Unis refusent l'immigration de masse incompatible avec les valeurs morales fondamentales de leurs civilisations respectives.

Putin argues that while machines may surpass humans in analytical ability, people retain an advantage machines cannot easily replicate: the ability to think outside the box.
He recalls the 1983 incident when the world came close to a U.S.-Soviet nuclear war.
Soviet Lt. Col. Stanislav Petrov received an early-warning alert reporting five incoming American ICBMs. He recognized the alarm as a computer malfunction rather than a genuine attack.
“If instead of Colonel Petrov, there had been an artificial intelligence, everything could have turned out completely differently.”
While the technical progress can’t be stopped, Putin calls for the responsible use of AI:
“There are already cases when artificial intelligence makes decisions on its own based on its own understanding of what is appropriate. This applies to both civilian and military use.
As the technology of artificial intelligence is further implemented, its role will increase, and algorithms will take on a greater responsibility, especially since a person cannot compete with the ability of a machine.”

We were discussing the other day, why the world seems to be getting worse. I've just realised it's because fewer and fewer children are getting the enriched childhoods that they deserve. Less education, more poverty, more abuse, more trauma. It causes dysfunctional adults.

Attempts to restrict abortion access are continuing across Australia. Alarmingly, these proposals share a common feature: they are not grounded in evidence, and risk shifting an essential component of women’s healthcare back towards criminalisation. ~RANZCOG

“Help me!” screams a young man in sheer terror as he is dragged away by Ukrainian draft officers—to be sent into the kill zone and, quite possibly, to his death.
Listen to his scream, you who sit in Brussels deciding the fate of Ukrainian men. Listen carefully. May that scream haunt your sleep.
If he dies, his blood will be on your hands—as will the blood of tens of thousands of other working-class men sent to the front against their will.

Questo credo sia uno dei migliori interventi che siano mai stati fatti al Parlamento Europeo.
Lo ha fatto l'Eurodeputato slovacco Ľuboš Blaha, rivolgendosi a Kaja Kallas.
Va letto interamente con attenzione e possibilmente diffuso il più possibile, perché qui dentro c'è davvero tutto:
«E' lei che rappresenta la più grande minaccia ibrida per l'Europa! La più grande minaccia ibrida per l’Europa non è la Russia, signore e signori, ma la signora Kallas, che si trova qui tra noi e che vuole trascinarci in una guerra nucleare.
Sapete cos’è la disperazione? Quando l’élite tedesca, solo per sconfiggere l’AfD alle elezioni, organizza un’operazione dei servizi segreti a Lipsia e ne attribuisce la responsabilità alla Russia. Hanno completamente distrutto i propri rapporti con la Russia e, nonostante ciò, hanno comunque perso le elezioni. Eccezionale!
Nemmeno Mr. Bean avrebbe raggiunto questi risultati.
Non solo hanno perso, ma si sono anche dimostrati incompetenti!
Signora Kallas, lei parla costantemente di «minacce ibride», ma in realtà si tratta dell’esatto contrario.
Siete proprio voi, da molti anni, a condurre una guerra sanguinosa contro la Russia. Le vostre armi uccidono i russi.
Vi state armando come ai tempi di Hitler e la vostra retorica anti-russa è al livello dei nazisti. La cruda verità è che la Russia non ha attaccato nessuno dei paesi dell’Unione Europea.
Siete voi che avete attaccato la Russia.
Siete voi che vi siete spinti fino ai confini russi. Siete voi che, per decenni, avete cercato di provocare un cambio di regime in Russia. E ora avete paura di ricevere ciò che vi meritate, come bambini viziati. Lei è una guerrafondaia estrema, signora Kallas. Se ne vada!»
Questo intervento dovrebbe essere mostrato a reti unificate. Invece nulla, meglio diffondere le porcherie di Ursula von der Leyen, Kaja Kallas e il resto dei guerrafondai. Non sia mai dire agli italiani che in Europa c'è chi si oppone alla retorica guerrafondaia...

Took one for the team and watched this. Just after the Northern Ireland agreement, you can see Blair depart reality and become a willing servant of US power. His ticket into the great leaders’ club was helping drag the West into the destruction of Iraq. The verdict from those who knew him? Not a deep thinker—just a good communicator who remade Labour into a party his conservative dad could vote for. Lol.

Nicotine consumers are the major stakeholders in policy that affects them, unless you live in a nanny state or a dictatorship!
Exhibit A: Australia 🇦🇺
Where they are the gold standard of failure in the world of nicotine product policy!
ie. The world leading failures!
"When ASH tells people to respond to a government consultation, that is apparently legitimate advocacy. But when consumer organisations encourage people to respond, it is suddenly described as 'industry mobilisation', an extraordinary double standard." nnalliance.org/nnanews/news/…

FIRST, CHINA IS *NOT* AN AUTHORITARIAN COUNTRY!
teapawt.net/thinking_panda/status/…
It's a democracy run by its people. There is voting at every level of government. The system was designed via a collaboration between Deng Xiaoping and the American, John Dewey.
Given the ongoing hostility of the US to China, it comes as no surprise that it would seek to quarantine its AI from China.
That will have zero effect on the Chinese who are quietly quarantining their own systems from malign US interference.
The net result? The blockage of tech cross-fertilisation, the skewing of purpose, the limiting of public benefit, an increase in the risk to supply lines and the perpetuation of dysfuntional geopolitics.
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.
