You’ve passed it. You have a perfect storm to guarantee a fascist takeover: 1 constitutional violations with no consequences 2 willing accomplices 3 foreign interference 4 tech oligarch bribery 5 media capitulation 6 decimated institutions 7 weaponised armed forces 8 insufficient bravery to rise up

100%. It’s blindingly obvious what is happening. This is fascism and authoritarianism to its core. Compounded by complicit media and corporations bending the knee. The lies, denial and capitulation are pathetic. Not the land of the free and definitely not the land of the brave.
We need to make it illegal for AI models to offer advertising. And, we need to really examine referral fees as well. The last thing we need is to have algorithms designed to maximize revenue driving LLM output and interactions. We need to have learned our lessons from algos in social media
Call it what it is: a nazi concentration camp. It is despicable and deranged. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...
Australia has decided... We are a ’nation of courage and of kindness’ (Penny Wong)
Pope Francis’ humility, compassion and moral courage and clarity stood in stark contrast. A leader among leaders. Rest in eternal peace 🕊️
And they won’t get the attention and support needed because the world is distracted by the buffoonery, bullying and sheer ineptitude of the US President and government.
Got an email, SMS, flyer and (5 days back) a door knock from the candidate themselves
Who’s creating the shadow sites replicating what’s being deleted? Where’s the proxy to make the history relevant and the lies redundant? Who is out there setting up a parallel/alternate url to combat?
You’re well past a Constitutional crisis. It’s a coup. Rest of the world can see it.
Let’s go @gwsgiants.bsky.social !! (Less stressful next time please) #BigBigSound #NeverSurrender

Australia proudly supports Ukraine 🇦🇺🇺🇦
Spineless quisling 👇 Pathetic reporting and bending the knee to fascism from @axios.com
🇺🇦
Call it what it is - a silencing of the free press.
Grab a spine @cnn.com The only way to report this is to call it what it is. It’s not even adequate to call it a conflict of interest any more. It’s blatant corruption. It’s obvious Musk, an unelected official, is there to enrich himself and you’re incapable of reporting accurately on it.
President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
Not ‘looked back’ on…the world is currently looking on with disdain. We’re repulsed.
Narrator: It’s too late
All they have to do is their job. They’re not even doing the bare minimum, let alone with any ferocity or velocity. Instead they’re bending the knee. US media is simply not up to the task.
Can all the good guys quit arguing over something so petty. There are far more consequential things to focus on.
Health advice in the Uber I’m in here in Sydney just now. I’m one “you know what’s good for you” away from a diabetes test in a Kia.
Silence is complicity.
“Masculine energy”
We all saw exactly what it was. We know exactly who he is.
Avoiding completely, not adding my clicks/engagement, especially on content from local media and right-wing outlets.
In the short term. Isn’t the mid-term risk foreign entities trading (forced to trade) through this, and the likely corruption and influence of the US? And the long-term likely intent to replace the US dollar?
The way people are ignoring the grift is one thing, the foreign influence and corruption red carpet rolled out another, but the longer play of replacing the US Dollar with the crypto boys own currency which Trump personally benefits from will pass right on through before Americans even realise.
It’s the inability to recognise their own words and performance for me. He’s confirming his lack of influence and ineffective leadership in his own company.
Hoping Australia is out of range
In an era where agility and accuracy are crucial for competitive differentiation, AI-driven evolution is not just enhancing marketing measurement—it’s reshaping how success is defined and achieved in the digital age. www.exchange4media.com/digital-news...
Banning TikTok is hugely advantageous to both Google and Meta. They've both already built competitors, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. And while Congress and the Supreme Court cite data privacy and China wrt TikTok, Meta gave U.S. data to China before TikTok even existed
Seems relevant right now. “Techno Feudalism” by @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social
Hard to overstate just how much of the tech industry’s horrifically dystopian present grew right out of its transparently misogynistic past
For those asking, yes, I would like to start a MeidasTouch Network in the UK and Australia next in Q1 of 2025 in addition to Canada.
Not a journalist but long time media and tech industry in Aus and keen to support. @deniseshrivell.bsky.social in the space could help.
Is he talking into his shoe?
An absolutely devastating loss. Lisa was one of Australia’s absolute best marketing leaders. Smart, vibrant, deeply respected… a force for all things good. Deepest thoughts with her family and friends at this difficult time. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...
Only beneficiaries of misinformation would block efforts to curtail its amplification via scale apparatuses like social media. Deliberately injecting the notion of the protection of ‘free speech’ is designed to legitimise broadcasting mis/disinformation. Free speech =/= freedom of amplification.
📌
It was fully ‘utilised’ and no longer required. They tilted the scales to enable scaled misinformation and win the election. Ultimate play was entry/entitlement to control broader societal and governing structures. Billionaires now control the US, its interests and thereby serve themselves.

"If you need more evidence of how silly this whole thing is, note…that the efficiency department is being overseen by two people." cnn.it/40KlyXq
Australia set to legislate a ‘Digital Duty of Care’. The duty of care will put the onus on industry to prevent online harms at a systemic level, instead of individuals having to ‘enter at their own risk’. www.innovationaus.com/platform-gia...
A takeover announcement we can all get behind and a spoonful of karma to brighten up your day. The Onion buys Alex Jones’s Infowars with backing from Sandy Hook families. I love this for him. theguardian.com/media/2024/n...
When we overlook & tolerate greater levels of harm it becomes a shared cultural habit. Short term, denial helps us cope. Long term, we collectively come undone. The danger is desensitization: we need urgent collective action not passive acceptance. www.scientificamerican.com/article/weve...
One of the smartest post-election takes is offered by @jenrubin.bsky.social. "The solution lies largely in fostering new forms of media to counteract the gusher of right-wing disinformation that fills the brains and shapes the attitudes of many Americans." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Super efficient
Is this a joke? Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency? As in, #DOGE, like the internet meme and a cryptocurrency he has long promoted. This is the dumbest possible timeline. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Some joy today from the Australian men’s Fast 5 netball team
Been blaming my daughter for a stray click and was unable to turn the firehouse off. That alone was enough to leave. I mean, good lord, what primitive social media can’t even personalise ads.
Netball Australia a clear leader: ✅ Female CEO ✅ Female Chair ✅ >50% female Board directors ✅ Female coach, Australian Diamonds ✅ Female coaches, 7 of 8 league teams ✅ Female CEO, 7 of 8 state member organisations ✅ Female Chair, 6 of 8 state member organisations www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/n...
Alright, who made this? 🤣
Weaponising propaganda and marinating in hate, rage, mis/disinformation - social media is mainstream media now. The new media reality is the truth is paywalled but the lies are free…and the majority are chowing down like it’s an all-you-can eat buffet. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Ok - let’s fire this thing up. Hello BlueSky!! 🦋
