If we're going to hold an inquiry into the life cycle of solar, why not coal and gas? Australia's solar waste investigation raises an interesting question of consistency. Where is the inquiry into mandatory 100% recycling of fossil fuel waste streams?

Watching the latest news of the atrocities by "Settlers" in the West Bank only makes this worse

Israel Is Quietly Annexing the West Bank The blunder that will imperil any Mideast peace.

Good article, stupid headline:

1. Israel is not "quietly" annexing the #WestBank. It's just that no-one is listening.

2. This is not a "blunder". It's a deliberate strategy by the Israeli regime to further choke off any chance of Palestinian independence.

Herzog is a current president, former legislator and IDF Intel whose 2015 election campaign featured praise for him seeing Arabs in rifle crosshairs. You can not unpolitical that CV. He also gave highly political speeches here, including asserting Al Quds is the β€œeternal capital of Israeli”.

my heart bleeds for kids attending those wealthy publicly funded schools with the rifle ranges and Olympic pools. If the public money was redirected to high schools in country towns omg kids from actual poor families might benefit too and then where would we be😱

just as "antisemitism", as the term was coined, does not mean "anti- (all) semitic people"

Yes, usage sets the meaning.
All the same, "Anti queer" would be a more accurate description of many of the "phobes" out there

I'm sort of contrasting it with "antisemitism". "Phobia" suggests it's involuntary", whereas "anti" suggests deliberate

I also think "phobia" in the context of Islamophobia is not quite right, as it's hatred, not phobia (fear)

Lovely dedication from one of my favourite cartoonists to another.
I always took it as a badge of honour, that on the Old Site, I was one of the relatively few people whom Jon followed

Here's what'll happen. Labor will get its lowest ever primary vote at the next election. "Centrist" rusted-ons will blame lefties, instead of themselves, because liberalism is political narcissism drenched in sanctimony, and shit will just keep getting worse.
