🚨Anthropic just showed a 24-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude. Taught by the people who built it. Free. No registration. No paywall. I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes. Watch it and bookmark it now!

The Jewish Council of Australia strongly condemns Donald Trump’s suggestion the United States will ‘take over’ the Gaza Strip and move Palestinian people elsewhere. We furthermore condemn the cynical use of humanitarian language by Trump to justify his  egregious plan. This language  adds insult to injury given the mounting evidence collected by human rights organisations about Israel’s gross violations of International Humanitarian Law in its 15-months long attack on the Gaza strip. Palestinians have a right to return and a right to remain in Gaza. You can read our full statements in the latest media release at jewishcouncil.com.au.

Calling someone white is not racism. Racially profiling a brown woman is. Hope that helps x

Another tragic loss. Israeli missiles targeting civilians, healthcare workers, journalists in the THOUSANDS... And Biden's last act in office is to send the IDF $ billions in weapons... #WarCrimes

Is this actually a thing? In Australia? You’re telling me that a government is arguing against providing clean drinking water, a basic human right and the absolute minimum expectation of any authority, anywhere, certainly one that has control of public funds. Housing, clean water so as not to die of thirst or from water-borne disease, or to drink uranium, enough to eat, particularly for kids. These are the basics that government in Australia is duty-bound to provide, as rightly ruled by the court. Otherwise, move on and let someone else do the job properly. Honestly.

It’s illegal to deny a genøcide happened in 1945 but the televised genøcide happening in 2024 is the most denied in history

This morning, amidst intense fighting in Al Mawasi, a densely populated area in southern Gaza, Palestine, 12 of our team members and their families were surrounded by bombing and heavy shootings in their homes, while more than 30 others were trapped in our office. “Tanks were invading the area where we live. It was terrifying. We were lying on the ground in our homes for hours and it seemed like the gun fire was coming directly towards us,” says our colleague who is trapped in Al Mawasi. While injured people were arriving at our emergency room in the health clinic of Al Mawasi, our teams were forced to close the facility due to insecurity, leaving people without lifesaving care. We are deeply concerned for the safety of our staff and patients in Gaza and call on all parties to the conflict to protect civilians and all aid workers, and to establish an immediate and permanent ceasefire across the Strip.

Amazing none of the “green movement” is up in arms over this…

“It’s kind of hard for me not to cry about this because I don’t think I have seen an army that has been so vicious and so non-stop in its aggression towards a civilian population.” Karin Huster is a nurse who worked in Gaza over 5 months. This is what she saw ⬇️

This is courage
Gisèle Pelicot walking to take the stand today, her strength echoing in every step: “It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she told the court. "I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"

Stupidest. NZ Govt. Ever. Luxon pushes fast tracked seabed mining, which leads to offshore wind company leaving NZ. Offshore wind gives us cheap renewable electricity. Seabed mining gives us a destroyed environment (and gives $ to Australian mining co). newsroom.co.nz/2024/10/24/of…
