He's now Mayor of Maribynong, where that Apple store resides. His story in on the ABC tonight, 8pm on Australian Story, backgrounder below: #Australia #AusPol #Melbourne #Maribynong #Footscray #racism #MohamedSemra #CityMayor #abciview https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-31/history-making-mayor-of-maribyrnong-mohamed-semra/106674090 npub1av9f0v6e9aw8seymyd69mdmpcxc20z4ndd90puv0zaj5z85mc6dqmaa3zf gusseting saw this + thought of you - gift link https://www.nytimes.com/card/2026/05/18/us/waiting-for-the-best-seller-inside-the-pipeline-that-stocks-the-stacks?unlocked_article_code=1.jVA.agws.u70YWE9uWZLp&smid=bs-share npub1av9f0v6e9aw8seymyd69mdmpcxc20z4ndd90puv0zaj5z85mc6dqmaa3zf gusseting btw, should you be able to make sense out of Andrew Forrest's dogshit unit economics, you're doing far better than I with this billionaire word salad: https://www.energy-storage.news/fortescues-chairman-says-ai-and-battery-storage-healed-australian-mining-grid-in-nanoseconds/ npub1av9f0v6e9aw8seymyd69mdmpcxc20z4ndd90puv0zaj5z85mc6dqmaa3zf gusseting "The future of AI: AI has - in the immortal phrasing of Ed Zitron - "dogshit unit economics." Every new AI user makes the AI industry less profitable, and every time anyone uses AI, the company providing that AI loses more money. The more we use AI, the more money they lose. Every new generation of AI loses more money than the previous generation.

Not even a slap on the wrist, more like Australia saying thankyou for punching down on First Nations, heres some cash for your trouble. #note1fkj…9nys npub1av9f0v6e9aw8seymyd69mdmpcxc20z4ndd90puv0zaj5z85mc6dqmaa3zf gusseting Want to know what racism looks like in Australia? Billionaire Andrew Forrest built the Solomon mines without the agreement of the traditional owners, making over 80 billion. The Yindjibarndi traditional owners have been involved in a long, expensive legal case for years, resulting in a payout of $150 million. Fortescue received $300 million in taxpayer funded diesel subsidies last payout. #AndrewForrest #billionaires #Yindjibarndi #AusPol #racism https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-12/yindjibarndi-fortescue-andrew-forrest-compensation-payout/106665232 npub1av9f0v6e9aw8seymyd69mdmpcxc20z4ndd90puv0zaj5z85mc6dqmaa3zf gusseting Australia's highest value art prize for women, The Ravenswood Art Prize has their gallery of 2026 finalists up. https://www.ravenswoodartprize.com.au/2026-finalists/ I haven't seen anything quite like "Toxicology" from Linda Judge before.

Neurodiverse folk = relationship issues. AI can 100% entertain niche interests, so I'm very concerned about that and where it could lead. npub1av9f0v6e9aw8seymyd69mdmpcxc20z4ndd90puv0zaj5z85mc6dqmaa3zf gusseting I've personally been kicked out of an autistic group for being against AI, and it was infiltrating *everything*. Talks on food preparation & ageing, or you'd go to participate in a zoom call, and it's got AI transcription... 🤯 I have not got the research - as I read and remembered it from months ago, but hopefully this gives you some idea of the issue: AI is basically fraud, yes? There you go: https://www.friendsagainstscams.org.uk/news-and-updates/neurodivergent-you-are-more-likely-to-be-a-fraud-victim npub1av9f0v6e9aw8seymyd69mdmpcxc20z4ndd90puv0zaj5z85mc6dqmaa3zf gusseting Has anyone mentioned yet that there's a pretty good chance that Dawkins is #neurodiverse, and that us neurodiverse people are more susceptible to AI? [@crowgirl](https://hachyderm.io/@crowgirl ) Asking, because it's a really important part of the conversation that seems to be missing here. It's like piling on someone for being homeless, taking drugs, whatever... We need a 12 step program to get off AI that *works*, and part of that is education, not shaming. #NoAI #RichardDawkins npub1av9f0v6e9aw8seymyd69mdmpcxc20z4ndd90puv0zaj5z85mc6dqmaa3zf gusseting Problems with a massive solar farm near Oberon, you say?

Problem is, the Norwegian safety net is literally killing people + planet, because it's taxes paid by Carbon Major Oil company Equinor. Here's their emissions c/o https://carbonmajors.org.

You can then stop being part of the $628,000,000 in violations they've racked up worldwide. Farmed salmon is not food for humans, it's profit for corporations by any means necessary. https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/jbs #Tasmania #Australia #Salmon #AquaCulture #JBS #note1g69…349u npub1av9f0v6e9aw8seymyd69mdmpcxc20z4ndd90puv0zaj5z85mc6dqmaa3zf gusseting The Greens Christine Milne opposing renewables in QLD back in 2022.

How is there a battle when the QLD govt is *invested* in industrial fossil fuelled mcdonalds lovin' agriculture? In order to have a battle, you need opposition.
