Energy Analysis Environment Technology Australia’s data centre lobby stumbles in its dance to avoid real regulation Google’s new data centre is entirely self-sufficient when it comes to power. Sounds like a good thing, right? Think again. Ketan Joshi Ketan Joshi Mar 4, 2026 7 min read

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”
There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Ultimately, I hope Freeplay finds a way to return to and persist in its more ragtag low budget from, relying on the community that in turn gets so much from it to sustain it. Or people start new ragtag events in new dojos without a budget to make the new CEOS of the game industry feel uncomfortable.

The Advertiser has the letter Malinauskas wrote to the board of Adelaide Festival. It is very hard to see how this is not a direction to remove Abdel-Fattah, despite a line saying board decisions are independent. drive.google.com/file/d/169Pi...
It is fucking wild that the board of a major cultural event decided to make a public statement that drew a direct link between an individual and a massacre they had nothing to do with, on the basis of their ethnicity. Interestingly not a feature of this contrition
Bendigo Writers Festival, Meanjin, now Adelaide Writers … powerful vested interests would rather destroy the cultural institutions they are supposedly responsible for than allow certain voices to be heard
Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers.
I am so very tired. Here’s more on the debacle that tanked Adelaide Writers Week, and the staggering racism involved. sakr.substack.com/p/resignatio...
In Albo's new antisemitism bill, the definition of "hate crime", which underpins the new regime to proscribe "hate groups" like the Nazis, specifically excludes "advocating genocide". That is, advocating genocide is treated as not being a racist hate crime. Now, why would that be?
The Albo government's antisemitism bill is a rushed hatchet job. Nobody has proper time to consider it carefully enough, and it will have all sorts of unintended consequences if passed. It is the worst kind of law-making: moral panic induced, pandering to powerful lobby groups' demands.
Want to make a submission into the inquiry on the "Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill that was released yesterday?

this was such a delight to work on. thank you to everyone who participated & contributed, and a big thanks to @helenkwok.bsky.social who led & steered the project. my favourite part of the project was getting to chat to our mums about the games they used to play when they were younger 🥰💖
And so it begins.
Minns tries to distract from a security failure in the face of terrorist attack:
by suppressing the right to protest.
If he was really concerned about "community disharmony", he would stop sucking up to the Israel lobby. #nswpol
www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
The idea that changing a definition to include criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic and cracking down even further on anti-genocide protests would have in any way made anyone safer is madness. That the Coalition have so comprehensively jumped to blame here is insanity. Who is this speaking to?
something quite relevant to this that I completely forgot I wrote a few months ago"
"Australia’s lead advisor on fighting antisemitism has singled out X for successfully using artificial intelligence to “root out hate”
