Sydney folk, why does shiny upgraded Central Station perpetually smell of damp and mould?

My toxic trait is to tweet a single word, “her” for example, and then you’ll understand that what I mean is, I’ve committed theft and I want the person I’ve robbed to know about it. #AI OpenAI

"Don't forget" 14 years of Tory pain summed up in 41 seconds of pure fire. This is like watching Bruce Banner become the Hulk for the first time.

British chums, this is worth a read. Thanks Edwin Hayward #ToriesOut

Whether you’re brand side, agency or media org, planning to respond to the new zero-click ecosystem ought to be top priority for marketing and media folk. (Unless losing 58.5% of your audience is no big deal) Thanks Rand Fishkin (follow @randderuiter on Threads), so important

I’m corralling my witches for a private screening, lest our howling disturb other cinema patrons.

Today, and every day.

Amidst the #foundermode chat, I propose #mummode: -your domestic and emotional labour powers the economy; - foundermode is only possible because of your work; - you receive no acknowledgement or remuneration; - you almost never start a podcast about it.

Individually almost everyone I’ve encountered in the NHS has been deeply caring, compassionate, dedicated. But the system is so broken that even with the best intentions, the outcomes are just awful. This is probably a thread

What a very interesting time to be running a retail media conference. unmade.media/p/botw-retail-… #retailmedia #REmade

Came back to the bad place purely to thank Kevin Roose for writing about the tragic story of Sewell Setzer. This is the most important fork in the road moment for our adoption of AI, and I hope we, collectively, take these risks&implications to heart. 💔
