...who precisely is "they"...?

Thoughts on the Strait of Hormuz crisis The Strait of Hormuz is becoming the key test of strength between the US and Iran. I've been thinking about what happens if they stay closed for an extended period. My conclusions might surprise you.

What are the consequences for energy markets and the transition of a potential long disruption to the Strait of Hormuz? TLDR: It’s a *lot* easier to replace 20% of LNG (15% of natgas supply) with wind and solar than it is to replace 20% of oil with EVs. mliebreich.substack.com/p/thoughts-o...

She’s flanked by security or police Text of X screenshot: An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea." In Australia, you can bankroll mass murder and sleep fine. But wear a shirt that says "from the river to the sea"?Two years in prison.

I was told that a bombing campaign is needed to free her from a fascist government that controls what women can wear.

How shameful is this? Not the lucky country nor the smart country, are we?

CSIRO have now lost more jobs under the Albanese Governmet than under the Abbott Government.

We have to do better on research funding and backing our scientists.

...we surrender our agency when the ballot paper disappears in the ballot box...and we inherit the principles of the winner...

...whose legacy...?

imagine the EV infrastructure we would have in place by now if just 1 yrs of fossil fuel subsidies was spent on it. we would not be as susceptible to oil price shocks as we are right now, we would be healthier and energy independent. #auspol

...if only such words were uttered by #Albo...?

Wow! For just 10% of the population, they sure do a shit-load of damage. #Misogyny #Patriarchy #AriseAmazons #DomesticViolence #EndPoverty #WomenInSTEM

...to go to such lengths, one very frightened individual...?

...ask Trump, "what would you do if your family/community was bombed?"...on second thoughts...

🇺🇸🇮🇷Tucker Carlson says that there will be another 9/11 to justify ground invasion

“The neocons know air strikes won't topple Iran. They need American ground troops. And the only way they will get them is by waiting for or manufacturing another 9/11 style terror attack on US soil to justify it.”

This must be the first ever American war where almost the entire country wants the “enemy” to win

“Any Israeli watching this, I want you to know that you are hated internationally—Whole international community in the world loathes you.”

Could this be a solution?

It is remarkable what Anthropic is getting away with everywhere in the world. In these responses they say they'll match their US approach

So: disclose nothing on emissions and energy, and beg the government to build new fossil gas infrastructure?

TY @davidpocock.bsky.social for challenging them

What Have the Independents Ever Done for Us? The record is extraordinary. The case for bringing more community independents into parliament has never been stronger - and in Farrer, the next chapter is being written right now.

‘Worst thing I’ve ever seen’: CSIRO slashes climate modelling jobs Australia’s science agency is cutting more than 100 jobs in its Environment Research Unit, which critics say will crush our capacity to predict climate change.

CSIRO have now lost more jobs under the Albanese Governmet than under the Abbott Government.

We have to do better on research funding and backing our scientists.

The Roots of Zionist Terrorism

Irgun was known as the “National Military Organization” headed first by Avraham Tehomi, who declared that “ political violence and terrorism” were “legitimate means in the Jewish national struggle for the land of Israel.”

LBJ, Trump, and the Freedom to Vote The president should use his authority to expand democracy, not restrict it.

Presidents are often defined not by their promises, but by their priorities while in office. Trump is pressuring Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would be the most restrictive federal voting law in American history. bit.ly/47Fxr3s

Treatment of Iranian asylum seekers reeks of contradictions Australia quickly offered protection to Iranian women footballers who drew global attention. At the same time, new migration laws aim to prevent other Iranian visa holders from even reaching Australia...

"The recent migration legislation introduced by the Australian government, with full support from the opposition and One Nation, suggests we care about Iranian asylum seekers who have acquired media fame but not for those who have not."
