Passed an IM6 on the road today. Very sleek. More EV sedans I say.

Content warning. Jess Denham was subjected to cruel sexual & physical abuse by her parents. Her father is serving Australia's longest sentence for child sexual abuse. How did The Australian get her counselling notes & use them to cast doubt on her story in a podcast?

Anyone who comes forward to report sexual abuse is told to seek counselling. They're usually not told that those notes can be subpoenaed & handed over to the very people who harmed you. And they're sure as shit not told that a tabloid could get their hands on them & use them as "entertainment"

Interesting. I was wondering about that myself.

The person who asked is a prominent local running a community
Centre and a licensed counsellor. I was quite offended but laughed it off. I guess middle-aged poor people are all suspect, eh?

So I’ve been slowly selling household items, ostensibly to keep my head above water; today a prominent local casually asked me in local cafe whether I was fencing stolen goods. If we didn’t laugh, we’d cry. #auspol

Arguably it’s no longer needed because the clean fuel regulations (albeit temporarily suspended), and total cost of ownership means buying an ICE car makes little financial sense. New BEVs are already cheaper to buy and own than popular ICE vehicles. #auspol

You’re not a true #F1 fan if you’re not happy to see Hamilton back on the podium and Antonelli win his first Grand Prix. #ChineseGP

Laura Tingle: “In the Gulf, as in much of the rest of the world, there is a presumption that the US president will now be looking for a way out of the war he helped start, claiming victory…..

If you are looking for a date that may be helping focus Trump's mind, it is March 31.” #auspol

Massive waste of police court and the accused’s resources, not to mention the personal stress and anguish caused. This happens every day in the so-called “justice” system.

I declare the Gemini AI Italian bread recipe a success. So much so that I’m devouring the loaf as I write. Slightly hotter oven and more folding for an open crumb next time.

Just discovered (on my general advice from six months ago) that my local cafe has decided to sell up and retire. They’ve kept it very quiet. Very sad really, nothing last forever. 😢

Made white sandwich bread using ChatGPT receipe but it was too sweet so I'm trying a Gemini AI Italian bread receipt... failing this I'm going to have to buy a book. Like printed on paper and everything.

My favorite part was when the guy who killed 170 kids in Minab said he bombed only military installations on Kharg Island, and avoided oil facilities there "for the sake of decency"

It was one of those moments when you find yourself thumbing through Dante to remind yourself how many levels Hell has

Line chart showing the lag in years between daily and annual mean breach, declining from ~50 years at 0.5C to 9 years at 1.5C.

6/ Quantifying the lag directly: it has collapsed from ~50 years at 0.5°C down to just 9 years at 1.5°C.

Every threshold tells the same story, a signature of accelerating warming.
