I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.
Me in @crikey.com.au today:
Albanese leveraged high profile young women to build his reputation as a leader who "got it". Now those same women tell me they feel the trust is gone, they've lost their patience and believe the PM's mask has slipped.

I just checked and this is real. We call this โa clueโ
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 everyoneโincluding many tech companiesโagree 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 progressโin a location with more land and solar potential than nearly anywhโฆ
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 progressโin a location with more land and solar potential than nearly anywhere on Earth"

Mojtaba Khamenei is widely considered to be more hardline, ideological, and violent than his father.
Donald is smart that way.
45% of Republicans under the age of 40 say Jews pose a threat to the American way of life according to a survey by the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs.
Thanks Zionism and AIPAC!
We are still in a cost of living crisis but fossil fuel companies are making record profits while paying almost no tax. Cool, I guess #auspol
โI got a voice message saying he was gonna rape me โฆ and if my ancestors come back, heโll kill them again,โ the Kaurna, Narungga and Ngarrindjeri woman told Guardian Australia.
The messages keep coming. In the past six months sheโs been called a โblack cuntโ and a โcancer on societyโ.
"To you we're just a headline, a tragedy to consume, not colleagues to defend. We are being hunted & killed.. while all of you watch in silence.. Israel is killing us one by one, and not just us, our families too.."

Lebanonโs Social Affairs Minister Haneen Sayed has announced that approximately 454,000 Lebanese people have registered as displaced. She urged those who have not yet registered to do so, and said the Sports City Stadium in Beirut would be opened as a shelter for families in the municipality. In Akkar there are also multiple shelters. Sayed added that โhot meals and food rations are being distributed in various Lebanese regions in cooperation with organisations and associations, with numbers increasing gradually to ensure no person is left without food.โ
Israeli attacks on Lebanon have displaced more than 454,000 people in just a few days.
454,000 people. Because they felt like bombing Beirut.
NEW: A group of Hollywood execs are running a smear campaign against "The Voice of Hind Rajab" to stop it from winning an Oscar.
The group has ties to the Israeli government & received support from foundations of Russian oligarch Len Blavatnik & Casey Wasserman (both featured in the Epstein Files).
Thereโs an Indian journalist in Israel right now reporting in Hindi about how bomb shelters in Israel will allow even the pets of Jews in but will not open its doors to the Indian workers our shithole government sent in droves to make up for genocided Palestinian labor. Apartheid regime.

What skincare are you getting for him? Having same convos with my 12yo boy but donโt want adult washes that are going to mess with his skin.
I grew up in council housing and so Iโm proud today to announce a $100m grant to Kings Grammar for the construction of a new, state of the art polo field. The new field will sit on the site of the old Parramatta High School and significant First Nations country.
Public ed is good for social cohesion. Public funding for religious private schools divides us.
It's extremely depressing how our system & pol leaders encourage a belief that sending your kids to private, esp "Christian" schools gives them a better future. We need pride & investment in public ed
Is this a joke question?
Ch7 News: "An innocent young man has been stabbed to death here ..."
Okay. When a woman is murdered by her partner or ex in a domestic violence crime, I don't remember the news EVER using the adjective "innocent" to describe her. But he's often called a "loving father". Why is that? ๐ค #VAW #DV

When I was young I proudly raised the Israeli flag, so I want to talk a little bit about what happened since then
I grew up learning that Israel is "surrounded by enemies" so itโs a miracle we got to survive that we must serve in (1/8)

The fuck kind of answer is this
Heโs called a โYouTuberโ in this piece. Heโs going for Joe Rogan status.
โThis week Stefanovic came out as an opponent of mandatory vaccinations and lockdowns.
In 2021 Stefanovic and his then Today co-host, Ally Langdon, got Covid shots on airโฆ and he now regrets it.โ
I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week
