✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here.
Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
Pretty interesting new EIA analysis from the US, v odd it hasn't got more attention
Data centre growth will
- Boost coal and gas generation
- Make electricity prices higher (HUUUGGGE increase in Texas)
Not new but V new for the EIA to say this out loud and explicitly

One day far in the future, a plaque and a day will commemorate a somebody who will announce the impossibility of war, since "we depend on the enemy's resources".
Sorry, Michael. I've tasted beer. No tax on that awfulness is sufficient, let alone excessive.
A light show that turns a profit, even a small one, since it gets staged more than once?
Its interesting how people will happily see multiple fireworks events a year in Aussie cities that cost millions, while the homeless exist in plain sight around them, and yet still blast a single light show in Alice Springs to celebrate Aboriginal culture as a waste of $$$.

The currency you use matters to me. Which is probably why I'm selling stuff in case I can retire.
I know. As long as he believes he's the first to know, he's a sucker for a "government conspiracy" tale. Correction draws the towering flame of a genie unbottled.

Keane is a fucking arsehat.
All of this bullshit is why listening to the “think of the children” and “we need to track your advertising habits or we will go out of business” people has fucked everything.
I wish I could read Rick Morton's latest work, but alas: first, I had regrettable interactions with the founder, Stephen Mayne; and then found myself blocked by Keane; there are untouchable bloke sensitivities in that joint.
$1,000 worth in *an* old used spam tin, haven't you checked the price today?
"I got a mate who's got 1,000 of petrol in ..." emerging as a whole new class of urban legend.
In this case the 9fax paywall is probably good for my blood pressure.
C’mon
...and concentrates ownership to the people at the top. People apparently need no existence other than feeding the dark satanic mills of LLMs.
And there's more than a faint whiff of religion about it all, "a planned reset led by the US", sounds suss to me.
I love how a typo I deleted still left an artefact in the post. Smdh.
It used to be that utter disgrace would meant people quit listening to you ...

Use rail? For cargo? Outrageous idea, and the Truckies Union would have a red-nude fit.
Alas.
They should empty some V-sets and use them to ferry goods between Mt Vic and Lithgow.
"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."
Just saying it right out loud now.

And because it's the AFR, there's no pressure to answer Pocock's questions.
Anthropic promise to take their US approach in Australia
- Disclose nothing about their emissions and energy consumption
- Urge the federal government to build fossil fuels
