Finally. Reporters completely ignoring climate change in the undoing of the Liberal Party is baffling to me.

weird we didn't send forces to stop civilian deaths in Gaza. Oh well, better not think about why some civilians get special protection of the state and some don't.

We really need to be nicer to people at the top of the funnel. We means me. I'm a shocker.

One Nation seeks a foothold in Farrer as it names byelection candidate David Farley will contest the New South Wales seat of former Liberal leader Sussan Ley in May ballot

Hey Guardian ( @australia.theguardian.com ), and editor ( @lenoret.bsky.social ):

Can you explain why whenever an independent is mentioned, you say "the Climate200 backed independent"

but never "the Gina Rinehart backed One Nation candidate".

Why not?

UK must stockpile food in readiness for climate shocks or war, expert warns Prof Tim Lang says country produces far less food than it needs to feed population and is particularly vulnerable

I can sort of understand people treating climate breakdown as a distant, peripheral issue when they thought it was just a future threat to polar bears and Pacific Islands

But we're seeing these sorts of warnings all the time now, and little seems to have changed

This comes on the back of reports of multiple organ transplant patients dying at Prince Alfred Hospital due to mould. Our hospitals are moudly death traps but don’t worry everyone, Albanese is sending $380bn to America and gifting their pedophile rapist president a gold-plated figurine.

Just because they forgot to mention it, this is the impact of climate change caused by the pollution from burning coal and gas. Australia is the second biggest producer of this pollution in the world. Might be about time we did something about that, huh.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

In coal country this battery didn't stand a chance A community battery project three years in the making, run by a local not-for-profit and backed by the council, was killed after a spark of misinformation about its fire risk was ignited.

Guys, Musk is not going to have a million satellites and data centres in space in two years. Every other year he comes out with something fucking ridiculous like this - like every car will be self driving by 2020! I don't think we need to take him seriously.

Premier Jacinta Allan on our #4Corners: β€œI’ve also referred these allegations to Victoria Police. Without commenting on specific case, let me be clear: Performing unnecessary surgery is a crime, removing a woman's organs without a clinical need is a crime, & assisting in that conduct is a crime."

The suggestion that welcoming refugees is worse than the horrors of the Nazi regime is a textbook example of Holocaust minimisation. Political leaders cannot claim to oppose antisemitism while remaining silent in the face of far-right extremism.

Fossil fuel companies love to sponsor programs for kids because it makes them look nice (while they keep being bad).

People then say that this funding is the ONLY WAY the kids could have these opportunities.

In fact, it's the easiest way (in the short term) and adults have terrible imaginations.
