The NACC's view here is even funnier when you consider it's about a bloke who secretly appointed himself to multiple roles and thought no-one would find out.

Australia, you should be reading these and slipping Sean some spare cash when (if) you ever have some.
This isn't even an especially good one - but it's like a glass of champagne style sparkling wine compared to most milky white micro blogs.
Gotta catch ‘em all, and by all we mean you, and by catch we mean create training data for AI robotic delivery
As someone who once co-authored two books in support of nuclear energy: this is likely the kiss of death to nuclear power.
It is a risky long term investment that is uniquely dependent on social acceptance. An incompetent, very unpopular government slashing safety rules leads to a reaction.

The pub layout is the same as The Greyhound in St Kilda, now sadly demolished by cunts.
I could easily be wrong, that layout is common to inner city pubs of a certain age.
"Lower prices in 2027 mostly reflect more associated natural gas production as a result of the recent increase in oil prices and the related increase in production later in the forecast."
Magical thinking from EIA.
Wow. The EIA just made some insane updates to their forecasts. Apparently this war means, lower gas prices in the US and a big increase in oil production.
"The Henry Hub spot price averages nearly $3.90/MMBtu in 2027, 12% lower than our forecast last month."
Labor members are “quietly alarmed” as the cabinet supports megalomaniacs Trump and Netanyahu. They slaughter civilians, blow school children to pieces, ignore international law. and threaten world peace and Labor are mute.😳
Did Pat Conroy explain this sycophantic appeasement?
"She was [..] relieved to be out of Dublin, a notorious prison dubbed 'the rape club' after decades of staff sexual abuse."
"[U]pon her release from Dublin she was met by an ICE officer holding chains."

Happy Mario day!
Dept of Veterans Affairs confirms that despite having a report with details & images of Australian war graves desecrated & bulldozed by Israel — they have not referred it to the AFP for investigation or sought any legal advice on if it amounts to a potential war crime. #auspol
I immediately thought of this pic when I saw yours, and was still struck by the similarities.
Some kind of studied insouciance, is all I can think.

For anyone surprised by a VC being interim CEO of bsky, may I remind you of BlockChain Capital, the VC that poured $15m into bluesky, also invests in Sam Altman's eye-scanning orb company
Yet again @sarahkendzior.blsky.social lays it all for us. “The same families appear, again and again, in a transnational crime network that profits off war. …the Iran War can only remind one of Epstein and Maxwell, for many of the same people tied to them are also tied to this war.”
I would like to live in a country where if you Google the president's name and "13 year-old girl" nothing comes up.

The Israeli press are contemplating Trump “chickening out”. It’s about time our govt showed the courage to put Australia’s interests before those of US/ Israeli hegemony and their psychopathic leaders.
Sacrificing our sovereignty and economy to warmongering fools is unacceptable
not to make everything about data centres lol but this is very much like when a data centre adds 1 gigawatt of demand and then once a month they'll reduce their demand by 0.01 gigawatts and get paid for it like it's an act of raw social altruism
You caused the problem! You could just not cause it!
JFC these people are idiots.
11 days till our premiere on Shudder!
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

are we already at the 'carbon management' stage with geoengineering?
I went on NPR this weekend to talk about Trump's suggestion that tech companies build their own power plants to power AI data centers. I had just published a 12,000 word report on the topic, so it was hard to distill everything into a 4 minute segment. The "bring your own capacity" (BYOC) idea that Trump mentioned in his State of the Union speech isn't a new one. It's been discussed at virtually every utility commission over the last year. In the broadest terms, BYOC is good policy. The US hasn't been expanding its power grid for the last 10-20 years because electricity demand has been flat. Now data centers are changing the equation triggering huge demand increases. The question is who should pay for the new transmission lines and power generation capacity. Virtually everyone—including many tech companies—agree data centers should foot the bill, not everyday utility bill payers. But electricity policy is complex. There's a federal regulator (FERC), 50 different state regulators, and grid operators that span multiple states. One version of this policy that's become popular is to force data centers off the grid entirely. The idea is tempting, if anything for its simplicity. But it would have some negative consequences. Consider OpenAI's Stargate project in New Mexico. The 2 GW data center will run on its own "microgrid" powered by inefficient gas turbines. That means it will be powered by 100% fossil fuels, which results in far more pollution than a power grid, which can make use of nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, etc. This Stargate project will emit 14 million tons of CO2 per year, according to permit documents we found at Cleanview for our latest report. To put that number in perspective: New Mexico has spent 20 years decarbonizing its economy and in that time has cut emissions by 14 million tons. So in this case "build your own power plant" means wiping out 20 years of climate progress—in a location with more land and solar potential than nearly anywh…
Hhhoollly moly. 14 MTCO2-e for OpenAI's fossil-fuelled Stargate data centre
As @michael-thomas.bsky.social says: "wiping out 20 years of climate progress—in a location with more land and solar potential than nearly anywhere on Earth"
