Discworld QOTD, from Wyrd Sisters

Just a couple years ago it was "have fun being poor," "your job is going away, you're being replaced loser," "you better reskill because this is the only thing that matters now." So yeah I'm hostile to the idea and I think everyone into it is a thief and a loser

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

The Point Live: It's on for the Liberals, protests planned for Melbourne in response to Isaac Herzog's planned visit Angus Taylor resigned from the front bench but is yet to announce when he will officially challenge for the leadership. Melbourne protesters prepare for the arrival of Israeli president, Isaac Herzog...

I am not sure you could come up with a worse put down of the Liberal front bench than James Paterson saying "Angus is the smartest policy brain in the shadow cabinet”

The striking thing this encapsulates for me is the entire class of people unable to conceive that it is possible to both mourn and protest, that we can hate what happened in Bondi AND continues to happen in Gaza, an assumption entirely projected from their own inability to care about Palestinians.

If China's emissions had kept growing at previous levels emissions would like, what, maybe a full GIGATONNE higher....the area of avoided emissions here is like deleting the emissions of entire countries. This is happening at a scale that will very clearly have an effect in lessening disasters

Equinor pulling back CCS spending until market improves Norwegian company is a CCS pioneer but markets are developing slower than expected

Who could have seen this coming?

Carbon capture was never the plan, it was the comfort blanket: “Don’t worry, we’ll fix it later".

A story to delay real cuts while drilling rolls on.

When the industry feels powerful & secure, the fairy tale goes back on the shelf.

how bad do you have to fuck up to allow an exploit in fucking NOTEPAD

These "police interactions" in the name of "social cohesion" sure do make all us citizens feel safer. So glad we have the minns militia to keep us safe from Grace Tame

a scene from an illuminated manuscript by John Skylitzes in which a woman is stabbing a man with a spear in the first panel. In the second panel, a group of men are handing over various things to the woman who stabbed said man in the previous panel

for no reason whatsoever, I am bringing out my favorite 12th-century illumination today, which depicts

1) a Thracesian woman killing a Varangian Guard who tried to assault her

and

2) his comrades praising her and giving her all of his stuff for her very understandable and justifiable actions 🙏

feels like i should re-post this every few weeks

It's a strange thing to not disclose in the post but this research was led by Google, which has seen rising greenhouse gas emissions for years now

I know it's extremely outdated and weird to say this but it's emissions that are causing climate change + AMOC collapse etc. Sorry to mention it

Maybe next they could do a video analysis of Gaza footage to see whether its population has been impacted by the genocide.

Video shows protestor's violent arrest began with a hand on a shoulder New video obtained by ABC NEWS Verify shows in vivid detail the arrest of a 76-year-old man, who was later released without charge.

Cool. Doing a frame by frame analysis to check whether 6 cops beating up a 76-year-old man is ok or not

One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

NSW premier won’t apologise to Muslims after police grab men praying at rally against Isaac Herzog Chris Minns doubles down on support for NSW police, stating officers would ‘never have disrupted a prayer service … unless it was in the middle of a riot’

police rushed and sprayed crowds of people who were trying to run away from them but were trapped… by more police. The Muslims were kneeling and praying on their mats and were not on the road. If this is a riot, the police were rioting.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I don’t think we should allow the secret police to round people up and sort them by race

This is obviously not any sort of apology to the Muslim community. This is in fact directly offensive, and a deliberate provocation.

Another victory for Bari Weiss, lifelong McCarthyite and consigliere of the most openly Nazi presidency in the history of the U.S.

completely delusional shit, this dude should be treated like a fringe nutter standing on a milk crate shouting stuff at the train station.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

VicPol in bullet-proof vests all over Balaclava, Melbourne, this morning. Two men in suits take issue with my keffiyeh & shout at me to stop & try to get some cops to "deal with" me. A young Jewish couple who had small children with them walk along side me & tell the men to leave me alone ✌🏼

They aren't failing. They're successfully achieving their actual purpose.

Man, I didn’t think there was a way for this story to get dumber but…
“DoD loaned the high-energy laser weapon to DHS, who promptly shot down some mylar balloons with it without telling anyone, resulting in the FAA closing airspace and disrupting air travel nationwide”

…sure did the trick

The government is refusing to answer questions about why the Secretary was sacked

"I don't think anyone...would appreciate the circumstances of their employment termination being discussed"

She was paid $1m/year to unlawfully cut ppl's payments. You can't bullshit your way past this one, sorry

Grace Tame makes all the right people really anwgy eh.
