Heirs of Pablo Picasso are vaulting into 21st-century commerce by selling 1010 digital art pieces of one of his ceramic works.

, which have netted millions for far-less-known artists and been criticised by some as environmentally costly get-rich schemes.Loading

Cross this notion with cryptocurrency technology known as the blockchain and you get NFTs. They are effectively digital certificates of authenticity that can be attached to digital art or, well, pretty much anything else that comes in digital form – audio files, video clips, animated stickers, even a news article read online.

Cyril Noterman, a longtime manager for Florian Picasso, and Kathryn Frazier, a publicist for the project, said Sotheby’s would host an auction in March that will include a unique NFT as well as the actual ceramic bowl.

‘Do not consent’: Wild $25 anti-vax letterAn anti-vax group is selling “legal” letters that experts say carry no more weight than a note scrawled on a piece of paper to parents concerned about their children being vaccinated. The letters are legally worthless and worried parents are being treated like cash cows with people happy to take their money over fear, uncertainty and doubt. It's a business model, follow the money. Another level up of stupidity. Sad and angry at everything anti vaxxers. By all means report the news, but to then publish the letter, enabling the nut bags in our community to copy or reproduce the letter is encouraging this behaviours. That is appalling journalism.

Why this photo exposes Tame ‘double standards’In 2019, when the man who led the royal commission into the banking sector refused to smile during a photo opportunity with Josh Frydenberg, it didn’t make waves. Look at this guy's side eye - The BOSS of side eyes. ABC Disagree. Haynes J, was disrespectful and (given his position) should also have been called out for his behaviour. There should be no excuses for bad, disrespectful behaviour. Unfortunately, given the modern day poor quality media reporting, that's what's promoted. It wasn’t as obvious though 😅

Thousands of NSW children absent from childcare as staff shortages hit record highsThe Omicron wave has battered the sector, with closed centres and COVID-19 infections forcing thousands of children to miss out on care in January. lucy_carroll How good is Letting it Rip! lucy_carroll Decided to keep son home as day care reported 5 exposures that week. The risk too great as I'm pregnant and family members who care for him on other days have underlying health conditions. No support for workers or parents-no gap fee waiver this time, even though risk is greater lucy_carroll Low paid workers choose to do other stuff. Who would have guessed ? Maccas pays more than childcare work. Which wouldn't be so bad if you didn't consider the co payments the government makes or the training the workers have to pay for themselves.
