Australia’s biggest gas producers are cashing in on the conflict in the Middle East and the suspension of Qatari LNG production, which has disrupted global supply, with deals struck at more than double recent market rates.

Santos, the country’s second-biggest listed oil and gas producer, finalised a deal with a commodities trader on Wednesday for the sale of an LNG cargo at about $US25 ($35) per million British thermal units (MMBtu), according to market sources, who were not authorised to speak publicly.

Not a single soul on the planet happier about bloodshed, conflict, uncertainty, rising energy bills, fuel shortages and cost of living collapse than the CEO of a fossil fuel company

The worse the death and destruction, the happier they (and the shareholders) get

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

Demographically, most progressive defectors are frustrated lower middle class Millennials - not affluent urbanites or a PMC β€˜lanyard class'. Though they have liberal social values, many are frustrated graduates; Millennials with a mortgage or rent they are struggling to afford - primary school teachers, IT support or clerical workers. In short, the face of the modern social democratic voter.

Labour is losing voters to progressive parties disproportionately.

And they are not mainly "lanyard" professional or working classes, the oppositional forces of Blue Labour and right discourse.

It's squeezed millennials in service careers. Which our politics ignores.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Greg Davies: Can’t fault you for effort, well done that man.

Sisyphus: What kept me going was knowing everyone else was also pushing that boulder uphill every day.

Alex Horne: Ah. Well, I’ve got some bad news there.

"If the data centre lobby wants to present itself as an engine of the energy transition, it should be forced to build at least twice the volume of clean energy required to power its projects. But they cannot bring themselves to commit to even covering their own needs." #auspol

Australian energy bills could surge as Iran conflict drives up global gas prices Experts warn of similarities with 2022, when electricity prices went up by more than 40% due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine

OF COURSE Iran is fighting back!

OF COURSE the conflict is spreading!

Absolutely nuts. I fired up Google Gemini and asked it a bunch of questions about my own field β€” areas I know really well, that I write and publish in.

Literally the first paper that it told me about had a hallucinated author name

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.

It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

We covered the reasons why Albanese is like this on our latest pod. It doesn’t require psychoanalysis imo. He has no moral/political centre, there is no serious left in Australia anymore and the media ecosystem is more right-wing than ever.

All of that pulls an operative like him in one direction

I'm starting to dislike the word 'progressive'. I'm not progressive. My political positions are not only sane, but a reflection of where we actually are already. We should label people who are subservient to abusers and billionaires, who hate migration and diversity as 'regressive'

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

Calling Greens β€œextreme” while relying on progressive votes is political malpractice. You can’t court the center by dismissing your core. If Labour wants loyalty, it has to earn it β€” not assume it.
