Karl Hansen: ".. they're all getting their alibis in line.. every one of those politicians & members of the media knows that in future years, they're going to be asked what they did during the genocide"

Every word spot on.

Devastating footage of a flash flood destroying a village in Uttarakhand, northern India, today. Such events will become increasingly severe and more frequent as global temperatures rise. Posted by Channel 4 on IG.

Israel’s Gaza War Is One of History’s Worst Crimes Ever Israel’s war in Gaza combines a staggeringly high death rate, shocking violence toward children, unparalleled physical destruction, and now a world-historical famine. The world has, by objective measu...

Carbon Bros, Ep 1: The Testosterone Pipeline Investigating the obstacles to action on climate change.

This podcast on petromasculinity and the manosphere (lol) by @amywestervelt.bsky.social and Daniel Penny is characteristically informative and insightful, but also surprisingly funny. Just the theme song (HUUUGH!!!) cracks me up.

You can see and smell the Canadian wildfire smoke in southern Michigan this morning. Not healthy, so best to limit time outside. This is what human-caused climate change looks and smells like. US greenhouse gas emissions contribute to making this situation worse.

Will data centers crash the economy? This time let's think about a financial crisis before it happens.

Interesting.

We are in another giant tech hype cycle with AI — where people are throwing ungodly sums of money at something they don't understand, making promises they cannot keep — without thinking of the fundamentals.

All the ingredients of another crash.

Adani claims its export program helps contribute to sustainable energy – but experts say that’s ‘wilful disinformation’ Indian conglomerate’s claim about exporting coal and its role for developing nations is ‘meaningless sustainability waffle’ and amounts to greenwashing, one says

Ah yes - coal as 'sustainable energy' - the madness continues! "Adani claims its export program helps contribute to sustainable energy" www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Three figures: Emmanuel Macron stands bold with hand aloft saying “We will recognise Palestine!” Kier Starmer with a finger slightly raised, says “We will recognise Palestine - unless Israel stops killing Palestinians.” Anthony Albanese with a finger barely raised says, “We’ll recognise Palestine when we’re ready (if there are any Palestinians left).”

Gestures.

E.P.A. Plans to Revoke the Legal Basis for Tackling Climate Change

I remember when Jill Stein told me there was no difference between the GOP and the Dems on climate change. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Despite $22bn promise, Adani has paid zero corporate tax in Australia and experts think it won’t ever pay a cent Adani’s Australian assets regularly report annual losses despite strong revenue, in part due to big related-party payments

Surprise, surprise! Despite the promises of economic returns, Adani paying zero corporate tax! Can't say we weren't warned... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Global oil and gas emissions standard put on pause after Shell, others walk away, FT says Shell and other leading energy groups have abandoned a six-year-long attempt to define a net zero emissions strategy after being told that such a standard would require them to stop developing new oil and gas fields, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing documents seen by the newspaper.

As global warming accelerates

I’m no Greens apologist but it is truly nauseating to see Penny Wong deflect from her party’s cowardice on Gaza by claiming that the Greens are only speaking up because ‘ they are desperate to try and gain domestic political traction from this conflict’.
Utterly despicable

When Francesca Albanese exposed the “economy of genocide”

‘In 20mnths Tel Aviv 🇮🇱 stock exchange has grown by 213%’
‘An increase of $220bn’
‘For many companies, genocide=profit’

Profiteering from the murder of 20,000 plus 🇵🇸 children

The truth is disgusting

We’ve been hearing this nonsense every year since 2017.

When will a journalist finally admit that expensive trials have been an abject failure?

Trump sent officials to see Ghislaine Maxwell quicker than he sent FEMA to Texas

Let the food trucks in!

This is such galling distressing disgusting situation. A complete failure of Western governments and people who have supported this mass starvation and ethnic cleansing.

South Park is getting canceled after this lmao.

More than 100 humanitarian groups warn of mass starvation in Gaza A joint statement says the Israeli government's "siege" has left aid supplies "totally depleted".

My god, how can anyone see this photo and not be outraged. Also read the article. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Svalbard is the fastest heating long-record place on Earth, by a lot. It's being devastated.

David Pocock says govt needs to increase funding to aid groups, should be “calling in the ambassador” of Israel & “ratcheting up Magnitsky style sanctions on members of the IDF”
“Look what we’re seeing…starving young ppl being shot. What is the threshold for more action?”💥 #Abc

Agreed! The uncritical acceptance of AI in universities is mind boggling given the growing research into it’s deleterious impact on learning and critical thinking.

So just been told by Uni admin that the new AI policy means outside of final exams students will be allowed to do use AI in all other assessments! Seems university managers have decided to give up on education and suck down the AI Kool-Aid - age of stupid!

Remember when scholars of authoritarianism told us he would go after his political opponents, unions, academia, and the media and people were like, “But Tim Walz got the date wrong from when he was in Tiananmen Square?”

A robot teaching a class. It's pointing at a chalkboard with the acronym A.I.
