885,000 people on Jobseeker in 2024; 370,000 had been officially assessed as having a β€˜partial capacity to work’, eg a disability.

Instead of punishing people for rich people’s yatch money, give everyone a UBI. Poverty exists because the rich cannot be satisfied & punitive cruel policies.

UK's High Court ruled in favour of independent journalist Owen Jones in a defamation case brought by Raffi Berg, BBC news online's Middle East editor, over an article in which Jones alleged that Berg fostered a culture of 'systemic Israeli propaganda'. BBC is yet to report on this development.

In the early days of the electricity system, a public power slogan was "Power At Cost". The proponents - including Governor LaFollette from Wisconsin and Senator Norris from Nebraska - reminded Americans that every private corporation was stealing from them by capturing a public good.

β€œWe also have a situation where ministers are able to evade responsibility for these policy choices. This is because they have plausible deniability. They can simply use the phrase: β€œI was not advised””

Plausible deniability is the beginning of the end of accountability, innit?
Tangential but still, with the kind of salary they get should come great responsibility and inescapable accountability.
If not then they should get the minimum wage

Elon Musk's xAI wins permit to build power plant in Mississippi despite pollution concerns Mississippi regulators authorized xAI to build a power plant with 41 natural gas-burning turbines in Southaven to power its nearby data centers.

You'd be hard pressed to find a worse climate villain when it comes to data centres than Elon Musk.

I don't know how to express how much I despise the whole of Australian politics right now but the Queensland LNP takes the cake.
Racist, classist, sexist, transphobic, misogynistic, anti-science, and absolutely awful at the economic management, Making Queensland the Worst Again!

That's because they coddle them too much now. Back in my day, it only took 20 years for T-Rexes to fully mature, because they had discipline. Spare the rod, spoil the terrible tyrant lizard.

Scientists warn axing CSIRO jobs will harm climate change response Scientists are calling on the Australian government to push back on a plan to scrap hundreds of jobs at the nation's science agency, as they await the release of further details this week.

It's going to be a difficult week for many of Australia's climate researchers. πŸ§ͺ

I'll say more once the details of the proposed cuts are known but it's looking like Australia is going to heavily reduce our climate science capacity and capabilities.

historical oil demand vs secnarios

historical oil demand vs secnarios

On the second fossil fuel crisis of this decade (and likely to be worse than the last, fair to say), a few small thoughts

First: global oil demand would be so much lower without climate delay, fossil corruption, oversized SUVs, western overconsumption. Everyone who pushed these holds responsibility

Oil and gas companies fuel climate change.
Oil and gas companies fuel conflicts.
Oil and gas companies fuel imperialism.
Oil and gas companies fuel anti-science misinformation.
Oil and gas companies fuel civil strife.

It’s time to get off fuel and gather and store electrons instead.

F1 Grand Prix: extracting private profit from a public park in Melbourne The Melbourne F1 Grand Prix has already delivered another bill for Victorian taxpayers. The discovery of asbestos contamination during works in Albert Park has left taxpayers on the hook for a costly ...

The Melbourne Grand Prix is a massive net negative for Melbourne and Victoria!

"The race loses around $100 million dollars each year and Victorian taxpayers pick up the tab. That’s almost double what the Victorian Government spends on community sport."

I would say that the regions think they subsidise the cities. Not the other way around.
At the end of the day though it is an interdependence... This is a much more constructive and productive view to work with

Israel is demolishing Lebanon

Starting to think the Iran stuff was actually purposefully a distraction for this because they know how brutally unpopular Gaza has been, Because the news is covered up in Iran but there is zero coverage of this. It’s so fucking bad yall it’s Gaza 2.

Fear and Raiders in Papua How thousands of Indonesian soldiers are forcing through a vast agricultural project in indigenous lands and forests

West Papua is a rainforest being eaten alive.

Indonesia sends the military.
Companies take the gold, timber, and land.
Indigenous Papuans disappear from the map.

They call it development.

But it looks exactly like colonialism.
