If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Not sure if I'm a typical voter, but I heartily support the Greens being the negotiator of choice for the government wherever possible. Better outcomes every time. To be fair I don't care so much about the political rationality of doing this, but I imagine most people prefer progress to perfection.

HEY FRIENDS

For @thepointau.bsky.social, I decided to do the unthinkable and just actually check whether Australia's gas exports are being a magical climate solution and displacing shittonnes of Asian coal

You know what I found, but you will enjoy me saying it:
