Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera.

This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw.

But it's not very far off.

Every time I think of the Salah situation, I keep having that line from the Dylan Thomas poem running through my mind:

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

That’s what this feels like. Someone seeing their end, in a footballing sense, and doing whatever they can to fight against it.

BREAKING

In a new video statement, the Interior Minister of Benin says that the coup has been thwarted and that the people of Benin are urged to resume their normal activities.

UK Labour is what happens when a party flushes its soul down the toilet.

A party of bigots.

A plate of homecooked chips and a sausage and halloumi in a roll. There is a bowl of roast veggies in the backgroun

My dinner does not contain an egg

Andy Ngo is a shit for brains. Why reference anything that low life says?

From Guardian Australia’s interview with Wayne Swan: Asked what risks Labor faced if it failed to evolve at an organisational level and with its policies, Swan was blunt. "We end up looking like the Democrats in the US or any number of once large, proud, centre-right parties around the world that have collapsed," he said.

Can’t believe how shit 7s streaming app is. Actually I can, they spent all the money on war crimes and racism

I know I have some people in the music industry following me. This is a great idea. A live aid type of concert benefitting Gaza on the same night that Eurovision airs, with hopefully all countries who are boycotting Eurovision participating here

Gavin is drinking a Ginger Beer by Bridge Road Brewers Feeling glad I skipped this yesterday. Still 31 in the shade after a 40 degree day. Pity Ms20 used all the limes! #BridgeRoadAdvent4

It’s a quite pleasant 31 degrees and breezy on my deck untp.beer/8jlD3

Anti-Trans Activist Kirralie Smith Ordered To Pay Almost $100k & Issue Public Apology Following Vilification Ruling - Star Observer Anti-trans activist Kirralie Smith has been ordered to pay $95,000 and issue a public apology after vilifying two trans women.

“Anti-trans activist and Binary Australia spokesperson Kirralie Smith has been ordered to pay $95,000 in fines and issue a public apology after she was found to have vilified two trans women earlier this year.”

Look, it’s possible to hold transphobes accountable for abusing trans people.

In this heat‽

Double smoked. I see what you did there

People love listening to shit quality music surrounded by shitloads of crappy ads I guess. I hear “radio” exists

Maybe they already do?

I have no idea what this means. AFAIK I listen to Rock and Pop with a side of Jazz, Country and Classical

The United States has long handled the problem of maritime drug smuggling by using the Coast Guard to intercept boats and to arrest people. That echoes how it works on land: Police officers who believe people are dealing drugs arrest them, and if they are convicted, they serve time in prison. They are not executed. It would be a crime if officers instead simply gunned down suspected drug dealers in the street. Similarly, a military force is not allowed to target civilians, and being a suspected criminal does not make someone lose civilian status. In peacetime, targeting a civilian is murder. In an armed conflict, targeting a civilian is a war crime.

Notable absence of hemming and hawing and “critics say” bullshit here. The NYT is getting closer and closer to calling t murder. Good on ya. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/us/politics/trump-boat-attacks-killings.html

They were broken down with PHEV, BEV and HEV. But the direction is in the right way. Hybrids aren’t great but they’re very helpful at reducing emissions around the city I imagine. At the very least I would really like to see them replace every delivery van
