Philip the Greek, took British citizenship and adopted the Mountbatten name from his maternal grandparents before he married Liz. Under normal circumstances the queen's children's surnames should be Mountbatten.

AI gone nuclear. Fuck that. If companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft etc are that flush with profits, they should pay some super taxes so people can get the food, shelter, health care and education they need.

The Real Energy Scandal The Media Won't Tell You About Fossil fuel interests are colluding with billionaire-owned media companies to block the UK's transition towards a cheaper and greener future, argues Donnachadh McCarthy

'The UK electricity price is the most expensive in the world, due to prices being set 99% of the time by the marginal cost of the most expensive electricity other than nuclear, which is fossil gas electricity.'

You're absolutely right, Chris, climate change IS real. So why did your party:

* approve a climate bomb, the Northwest Shelf Gas Project

* rule out a climate trigger in the EPBC reforms and instead will rely on your farcical 'Safeguard Mechanism' and asking developers to be good.

We see you.

Gina is raking in the money. As intended. @albomp.bsky.social Labor Government following in Scott Morrisonโ€™s footsteps, throwing public money around like thereโ€™s no tomorrow.

The people will pick up the bill with the usual austerity for the people bulkshit. #auspol.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Cleve Jones: "This Is Our Country" This is the first guest essay at Meditations in an Emergency. I'm proud to bring you yesterday's speech by the great Cleve Jones, who has for nearly half a century been a key organizer for the global ...

Cleve Jones gave a riveting, rousing speech at San Francisco's No Kings rally yesterday, and he's graciously allowing me to publish it. He began: "The pronouns I use the most are the ones probably understood the least by those in the White House today. They are WE, US and OURS."

How neo-Nazis captured the March for Australia.
YouTube video by Tom Tanuki How neo-Nazis captured the March for Australia.

So this cop literally says he is pro Neo Nazis groups but against 'leftie' opposing groups!!!

Shouldn't he be investigated? Seems very odd to me!
