What a night! Talk about uplifting.

It was one of the greatest joys of my career to MC the TechDiversity Awards this year.

The winners included Indigenous-owned social enterprise, Fire and Wattle, Deadly Coders, Uniting NSW.ACT, My QuitBuddy, and Vantari VR.

Onward and upward!

“There’s absolutely zero duty of care, absolute zero care for you as a human. There’s zero care for your well-being, for your mental state. Absolutely nothing of that.”

Massive respect for lived experience advocates like Luke who've bravely shared their experiences at the Senate inquiry into the government's inadequate gambling bills. Their honesty and clarity will help protect families and communities from the harms caused by the predatory gambling industry.

The government must implement all recommendations of the Murphy Review, which includes an immediate ban on inducements.

@NIH study finds central origin for #mecfs fatiguability. "The pathophysiology of ME/CFS is marked by a cascade of events affecting the autonomic, neuroendocrine, immunologic, bioenergetic, and physiologic systems ... "

These mechanisms are effective enough to stop ppl from working, studying or doing basic activities like showering - yet Aus govt research funding has been < $10 million over 25 years. You have the power to change this @Mark_Butler_MP @mon4kooyong @evanb_y @jasemurphy @normanswan @natasha__may

Wow!

@antoinette_news has done a terrific job with this book. It's fearless and funny and incredibly insightful.

Women Who Win takes us on a wild ride, celebrating women throughout history who succeeded against the odds.

This is the book we need in these troubled times.

Or, and stick with me cause this gets a little wacky. You could use your brain and have what is commonly known as a conversation with your children rather than advocating more parental control to a piece of technology. Pretty radical idea, isn’t it?

@JennMeagher @EmergeAus @fungus_54 Thank YOU.

@jvab @Ben_Davison1 She really is!

[Tracey Spicer AM GAICD @TraceySpicer]

Agree!

Sally McManus is a national hero.

I find this quite sickening.

AI labs need quality training data. But destroying millions of books...?

"A US judge approved Anthropic’s $1.5bn settlement over pirated books, and ruled that training on purchased, scanned books counts as fair use."

For what it's worth, I highly recommend Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad, a retelling of Homer's The Odyssey.

@JennMeagher @lunns @australian So important. Thank you for your advocacy, Jenny.

[Jenny Meagher @JennMeagher]

Thanks @lunns @australian for this important story. Kaylee follows sound medical advice to minimise her chances of developing #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis from glandular fever. Sady, thousands of Aussies haven't recovered post-virally bc doctors lack #MECFS education @TraceySpicer

[Tracey Spicer AM GAICD @TraceySpicer]

@c_j_schweitzer She was excellent, along with the entire cast. Although I said to my husband afterwards that these scenes represented his dreams - Charlize is his favourite!!! I'm unsure whether he would have left that island...

[Tracey Spicer AM GAICD @TraceySpicer]

Have you seen The Odyssey? OMG, THE PIG SCENE!

It's an outstanding film, centred on the hubris of man and the folly of war. Christopher Nolan has structured the narrative beautifully, like the epic poem.

This release is well-timed. Wonder if they'll watch it in the White House?

[Tracey Spicer AM GAICD @TraceySpicer]

@ashfordrowe Brilliant!

[Tracey Spicer AM GAICD @TraceySpicer]

@MrBrokenEyes Yes - and the problem is worse if you use the free version, of course...!
