Instead of punishing people for rich peopleβs 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.

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.

By my own calculations, Musk's carbon bomb slop factories are undoing nearly half to all of the emissions cuts from Tesla products ketanjoshi.co/2026/03/02/m...

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. π§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
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

Companies take the gold, timber, and land.
