Melbourne peaked in suburban trains in 2024. I created this graph using data from vicsig and estimation for fleet roll out and retirement. A single train criteria under this definition is 2 sets of 3 carriages. So everything is 6 carriage config, except HCMT which has 7 per train
Well this is embarrassing! The Pro Vice Chancellor for Quality and Integrity at WSU gets caught using AI to write an op-ed in defense of how universities are embracing AI. And the piece is then retracted for inappropriate use of AI. https://t.co/USEAGHJ1sG
🚨REVEALED🚨 Secret night-time shipments are happening of High Explosives manufactured by a foreign arms company in an Australian government-owned facility — approved for export and headed ultimately to Israel to kill Palestinians.
Excellent reporting from @DaveMilbo for @shot_au:
“Australia is manufacturing the raw explosive that ends up inside the bombs falling on Gaza, on Lebanon, and on Iran.
“Not the entirety of the bombs. Just the explosive bits. And even Penny Wong wouldn’t have the gall to argue that nitroglycerin, nitrocellulose, and RDX (known as cyclonite) are the “non-lethal parts” of a bomb.
“Two factories, one in NSW, at Mulwala, and one in Victoria, in Benalla, manufacture the munitions that end up inside the shells, bullets, missiles and bombs used by the US-Israeli death machine in its expansionist, genocidal campaigns.”

"For the past two decades, the Gulf had pumped credit and equity into the American tech ecosystem. While such financial flows have by no means dried up, new AI arrangements signal that these countries are now beginning to onshore critical elements of American tech’s infrastructure."
In AMERICAN POWER, Colin Powers unpacks the Gulf's bet on American AI.
Really pleased to announce the publication of my latest article "Evidencing alethocide: Israel's war on truth in Gaza" in Third World Quarterly. In it I argue that 'disinformation' as a concept does not capture the true scale of Israel's war on truth. I propose the concept of "alethocide" (killing of truth) to fully capture deliberate, systemic lying in service of genocide. I also highlight how "modulators", including big tech and receptive Western media promote or demote certain narratives to emphasise what is considered truthful or disinformation in the ongoing genocide.

very funny how the left has so much historical concepts — like “racial liberalism,” “neoliberal multiculturalism” — to describe the elite liberal capture of the grammar of social and political struggles. and everyone has just… adopted the right’s framing of the phenomenon lol
damn that's crazy, anyway the Solomon Islands is enclosed on all sides by a network of US colonies and military installations run by the "United States Indo-Pacific Command" whose insignia is a big fascist knife stabbing through the Pacific
