I’m not vey tech-savvy and I don’t understand what you mean by ‘flicking the url around’. Why not just use the link in the text? Are you being precious?

The link is in the text.

No matter what he’d said, someone would have whinged about it.

And what can we do?

Govts must enforce those laws. And as for us, I am not of a generation who knows enough about these issues (nor am I tech-oriented tbh) but I avoid using AI whenever possible. I ask those who know if it would be possible for artists to take class actions against corporations that are stealing their work. Also, these issues must be kept in the public arena consistently so awareness continues to grow and people demand options, transparency and protection for artists as well.

But that same paragraph reports that some musicians have discovered last month “that their work was already being scraped”.

Apparently there was another group also marching on the day and it was an Anti-Trump group. I saw it briefly on a video and I don’t have details.

Supporting young Australians to achieve the families they hope for will require more than one-off payments or childcare subsidies.

It will also require rebuilding confidence in the institutions, economy and broader society that shape whether young people feel secure enough to plan for the future.

Can you see any of the current political set up doing that? Me neither. I reckon our only hope is for more young people who care about these issues to speak up not only in their own circles but more generally. Perhaps I’m being naive.

😮

Certainly can’t say the US is the Land of the Free. I am sorry for your friend. I hope she’s fine now.

In Qld the state covers ambulance call outs so people don’t pay a cent. The other states could do it too if they wanted.

“A commercial decision”. Just confirming where the Pharma heart is at and the US administration.

So how much does it differ from your previous bill?

But you need to know whether you’ll be charged if your partner or other family member under the cover is actually covered if they die before the ambulance picks them up. The lady in the article was charged $600 because the ambulance picked up her husband from home when he had already died.

Here’s an article written by Sarah: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/02/url-royal-commission-antisemitism-jewish-australian-supporting-palestinian-freedom-sarah-schwartz-ntwnfb

Amongst the many pertinent things she has to say are:

No government or institution can or should decide the boundaries of Jewish identity. But they can stop reinforcing the fiction that Jews and Israel are interchangeable.

When the Holocaust is used to police Jewish identity, silence those who bear witness to atrocity, or to recast allegations of mass violence as acts of persecution against the accused, it is hollowed of any moral force.

Instead its memory should be not only about what we inherit, but what we choose to do with that inheritance.

As other progressive Jews here and overseas keep saying: The pro-Israel/Zionist lobby are in fact, anti Jewish.
