people that hate cats are so funny to me because the things they complain about also are complaints autistic people hear about themselves “unfriendly” “unapproachable” “mean” etc
meanwhile the cats and the autistics are just minding our business and not seeking validation from someone
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
⚡️Update: Russian mass attack on Ukraine kills 7 in Kharkiv, including children.
Russian troops struck a five-story building in the city of Kharkiv with a ballistic missile overnight on March 7, killing seven people, including two children, and injuring at least 15, local authorities reported.
Gonna hear a lot about "energy security".
Sure we want energy security.
"What has changed compared to previous oil crises and oil price scares - even the 2021-22 one -is how affordable the clean energy solutions needed to replace oil and gas imports are"

If you genuinely believed you were 18 months from building a superintelligence that could cure cancer, you probably wouldn't pivot the entire company to horny chatbots. But I'm just a person with priorities. Maybe the path to solving death really does go through AI girlfriends. I don't have an MBA.
It's time to change the language. Clearing an ancient forest isn't "land use" or "development." It's the permanent loss of a unique, irreplaceable life-support system. That has a name: #Ecocide.
One ancient tree can be home to thousands of species—insects, birds, fungi, plants. Reducing it to ash isn't clearing land; it's demolishing an entire city of life. That is ecocide. #Biodiversity #Forests
Centuries-old trees are planetary anchors. They store carbon, shelter millions of species, and hold our soil in place. Reducing them to ash for short-term profit is not development—it's ecocide. #StopDeforestation #ClimateCrisis
It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.
How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?
The ALP in your head is long dead.
Must watch.
BBC News Analysis Editor @rosatkins.bsky.social does in two and half minutes what Australian mainstream media have not been able to manage in five days.
Makes the Albanese govt's unquestioning support for the flaky fascists in the White House even more inexcusable. #auspol

Cheers to Dave for that title 🤣
I was praised for a calm voice in my writing yesterday (surprised me), but I let rip a bit more in this piece. Let me know if I should stick to my day job.
Here's @lucyham.bsky.social with a great piece of research about the local right-wing establishment social engineering operation occurring of late.
"Powerful right-wing regressive weirdos gather to plot at Atlas-linked conference in Australia"
"State and federal governments must legislate a Clean Air Act, and regulators must act decisively when corporations fail," writes Louise Morris, Advocate at The Australia Institute.

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.
You can tell how much Labor and the Coalition care about the poor Iranians by the way they hastily built a series of offshore concentration camps to imprison Iranian refugees *forever* when they tried to escape the regime.
This’s not Gaza… this’s Lebanon
Israel just carried out 100+ of airstrike on residential areas in Lebanon, violating Security Council resolution 1701, ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences
This is another war crime …
Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.
An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise. The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo

Australian law now holds me responsible for the contents of your posts.
Anti Zionism has been found to be against the law in my state.
I have to show that I have taken reasonable steps to moderate content.
Therefore I will be deleting some of your posts and I may close replies and quotes.

Screenshot of ProPublica webpage titled “Explore Financial Disclosures From President Trump and 1,500 of His Appointees,” accompanied by this blurb: “Use this database to explore potential conflicts of interest for President Donald Trump and his team. The documents disclose positions officials have held outside government, their assets and their debts, among other things.” A search bar prompts the user to search for a person or financial holding.
THREAD: We just released a tool that allows you to search billions of dollars in wealth, ties to the most powerful companies in the country, and details of the personal finances of President Trump and over 1,500 of his appointees.

Here's a dead one, from another site.
As you'd expect, the Flannery (et al) paper is long and very readable: journals.australian.museum/flannery-202...
Part 2: Brian McGuiness had to have surgery after Senator Sheehy broke his arm. These officers are twisting his broken arm behind his back as they drag him out of the hearing where he was speaking out against the war in Iran. Brian is running for a Senate seat in NC.
When a country is run by a cabal of kid raping billionaires who start talking about bringing back child labor, I’m relatively certain they aren’t talking about kids building houses and harvesting produce.
Trump: It’s a hoax. We should move on.
Trump’s DOJ: There’s nothing to investigate.
The UN: The revelations suggest a global criminal enterprise…a number of the abuses meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity.

We also need to know whether AI was used to select the target. WaPo is reporting Anthropic and Palantir tech were used to identify 1000 targets in Iran 24 hours. Who vetted those targets? Who pays for errors? It's possible they weren't involved in this strike but this we need to know.
