Australian media for weeks: Trump is β€˜snubbing’ Albo (who cares). Trump: Women are giving their unborn children autism via Panadol. Australian experts and health ministers: This is not true. Albo: gets a selfie with Trump. Albo’s staff: Post it.

How data centre lobbying is shaping Canberra's climate policy, right down to our timid emissions target

Hidden in the fine print on the Climate Change Authority’s decision to pull back its emissions target? The role of artificial intelligence and data centres.

The Govt just set a 2035 emissions reduction target of 62–70%.

That’s below science & flies in the face of the duty we have to protect the people & places we love.

State commitments have πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί headed for ~70%. This lowers the bar & makes it harder to push for more global ambition.

Impossible to overstate how innocuous his jokes were. Just the most middle of the road commentary. Fascists are so sensitive. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

⚠️ #FutureGasStrategy to 2050 & beyond
⚠️32🀯 approvals of NEW/EXTENSION Coal+Gas projects

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

J.K. Rowling Quotes Hitler In Viral Post Commenting On Charlie Kirk Assassination J.K. Rowling is once again sparking headlines, this time after the shocking assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

This is so much worse than I thought.

Hollywood, we cannot stand for this.

At what point do we realize continuing to feed this woman’s pocket and her worlds are dangerous to so many?

The Flintstones showed humans and dinosaurs living side-by-side when in fact the age of dinosaurs and the age of humans were separated by hundreds of years. If they lied to you about this, what else are they lying to you about?
