We now see you for what you are. The three war parties: One Nation, the Coalition and Labor who have never seen a US war they don't want to back in. Millions of Australians disagree with you. They want a government of principle, they want a government of peace.

Public service announcement: this is a FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS

Not an 'energy crisis'. People need energy: it keeps them alive. This is a crisis due to forced dependency on the most unreliable and unstable fuel product in human history.

THIS IS A FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS.

Mixed-flower Australian honey packs a stronger anti-microbial punch Honeybees collecting nectar from a "buffet" of Australian native plants made honey with anti-microbial abilities that is more potent than "single origin" honey made from only one source of plant or flower, a University of Sydney-led study has found.

Australian mixed-floral honey demonstrates greater antimicrobial activity than single-origin honey, highlighting the role of native plant diversity in enhancing honey’s bioactive properties.

Pixar’s Pete Docter Says Queer ‘Elio’ Storyline Was Axed Because “We’re Making A Movie, Not Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Of Therapy” Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter explained the animation company's decision to ax a queer storyline in last year's Elio.

Am I surprised that a man who was able to thrive at a company where women weren't allowed in the same room as the boss, because he'd grope them, appears to have no ethical backbone? Not even a little.

The Suicidal Folly of a War with Iran The Laurel and Hardy negotiating team of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, coupled with Trump’s appalling ignorance of world affairs and megalomania, seem set to push the U.S.

God doesn't seem to be listening.

Trump’s war on Iran is another reminder: renewable energy is national security The first thing I thought when I heard petrol prices were climbing was this: thankfully, that’s not really our problem anymore.That’s not because we’re rich or because inflation doesn’t matter. And it...

Trump’s war on Iran shows why renewable energy is national security.

Australia’s still exposed to global oil shocks and inflation because fossil fuels are built into our economy.

The sooner we run on our own sun and wind, the safer and freer we’ll be.👇🏽

✝️ A Holy War Against Iran? Mehdi on the Republican religious nutjobs pining for Armageddon in the Middle East. Plus: the latest on the Iran school bombing and, for once, a disgraced Republican is shamed into quitting politics.

"The Real Religious Fanatics Behind the Iran War"

They're not in Tehran, they're in Washington DC. I bring receipts in my lede piece for today's First Draft morning newsletter from Zeteo.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers — soldiers killed in a war he started.

Yair Lapid @yairlapid X.com • Translated from Hebrew by Grok Israel must destroy all of Iran's oil fields and energy industry on Kharg Island; that is what will cripple Iran's economy and topple the regime. This war must end when the regime in Iran has fallen, the nuclear facilities have been destroyed, all of the ballistic missile industry has been destroyed, and Hezbollah has been destroyed in Lebanon.

The IDF killed 41 people in Lebanon while trying (unsuccessfully) to recover the remains of an airman shot down 40 years ago.

One of the main themes in this article is the risk of suicide to detainees. There’s no way to describe these conditions other than psychological torture.

"The data labelers in Kenya described seeing footage of people naked, watching porn, and talking about crimes and protests. Faces are often blurred, the story said, but sometimes are visible, depending on the lighting."

Trans kids are an easy target. Bigots lost ground on attacking gay people, so switched to trans people. And kids are an easy wedge issue because everyone gets worked up about protecting them. It's why book bans started in schools, too. Banning books is unpopular, but protecting kids is popular.

Google faces first lawsuit alleging its AI chatbot encouraged a Florida man to commit suicide Google is accused in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of a man who committed suicide in October, allegedly at the direction of the tech giant's AI chatbot, Gemini.

Gemini is the latest LLM accused of generating text encouraging suicide. How many instances of LLMs generating text encouraging self-harm do we need to reconsider their use in K-12 classrooms? #EduSky www.cbsnews.com/news/jonatha...

"The reason there are 51 men in jail is, rather, because of the wholly unprecedented scale and clarity of the evidence. Dominique Pelicot had filmed the rapes, keeping a meticulously documented archive of horrors, with the file name “abuse.” Still, Gisèle Pelicot was not universally believed."

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

Yes, Some Adults Do Need to Be Revaccinated Against Measles A new measles outbreak — along with a population improperly vaccinated in the 1960s — has many Baby Boomers wondering if they need to be revaccinated.

I hate Women's History Month because women's history is all the months because we are not a niche or an issue we are half of humanity.

Misogyny is a supremacist ideology. As in all supremacist ideologies, there are some to whom power inheres & some who get one (1) month to be mollified.

Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how you’re not a slaver.

I asked @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social which stories true crime still misses.

His answer: missing and murdered Indigenous women. Missing Black women. Cases where “missing” often means an unsolved homicide.
