MobyGames will be introducing paid plans for API access in the coming month. In response I've disabled further posts from this bot as it's not financially viable to keep it going.

World breaches 1.5C warming target in 2024 while 78-yr-old climate activist Gaie Delap languishes in a UK prison for having demonstrated to 'Stop Oil'. And yet there are people who continue to think that we, in the West, live in rational lib democracies www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
BREAKING: Dr Patrick Hart is the first working GP to be sent to prison for nonviolent direct action. Sentenced to 12 months for a @just-stopoil.bsky.social action against ExxonMobil petrol pumps.
Why did he do it?
Because he's seen children die at the hands of the fossil fuel industry.
$10k is just on 2.5hrs work for their CEO Kevin Gallagher whose salary was $8 million plus in 2023.

What's worse is that this is a more severe punishment than some of Santos' previous oil spills.
www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10...
FWIW, those laws were primarily a response to activists blocking roads and abseiling off a bridge out the front of an oil and gas conference.
Activists did also spray paint the Santos HQ (not the first time) the day after (or maybe two) but things were already in motion at that stage.
Great framing!
Santos to pay less than a dollar per litre of oil spilled. Or $3333.33 per dead dolphin.
Withholding Luigi's manifesto on grounds that it might inspire copycats was always disingenuous because prosecutors are going to introduce it as evidence anyway. The truth is media didn't want to anger their law enforcement sources
Queensland has more coal mines operating now than ever before.
Let that sink in.
Climate disaster...and also shows BHP lied about royalties making miners leave the state. @australiainstitute.org.au

Barbarians. Gates. Breached. Again.
The logic of public broadcasting is and should be different to that of commercial media and you can't keep bringing in commercial influences/influencers and expect the logic of public broadcasting not to be undermined.

UniSuper, APA’s biggest shareholder for more than a decade, has now sold all of its shares in the company.
This comes after 1000+ UniSuper members called on the super fund to take a public stand against APA's fracking plans earlier this year. #climate
i regularly think about the way that somebody could've joined naughty dog 15 years ago and spent literally their entire career working on two games over and over again
In the past 30 days, over 75% of South Australia’s energy came from renewables, an incredible leap from 0% not long ago.
The graph below showing this transition is fascinating.
Amazingly, some reading this, particularly over on Twitter, will be furious about it.
Most of the time when they say “violence is not the answer,” what they mean is “self defense is not the answer”
Front page of the Herald Sun with a headline that reads: "Step on the Gas"
Shot of the double page spread from the Herald Sun promoting gas development.
A highlighted section acknowledging that the spread was sponsored by the Australian Pipelines Association, Tamboran, Santos and Jemena.
I have spent a lot of time reporting on, and writing about, fossil fuel sponsorship. It's very rare you get a working demonstration of why this matters. This double page spread in the Herald Sun was just sent to me with calls for more gas extraction -- sponsored by the gas industry.
🤡 @albomp.bsky.social didn’t just do a swifty on @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social, he’s done the bidding of the Minerals Council, WA mining mafia and Logging Lobby.
Labor was elected on a climate mandate yet here we are. An utter failure of a government.

You know you hit the mark when they decide not to run the interview on their socials.
Zack from @risingtideaus.bsky.social has been doing some great media interviews in the last few days.
Case in point is this Sky News interview.

No attempt to stop them?
Cops doing what cops do.
They are NOT our friends.
They will always protect the interests of the ruling class.

To put the just-agreed New Collective Quantified Goal at COP29 in some context...
$300,000,000,000 - NCQG "by 2035"
$2,440,000,000,000 - global military spending in 2023
That's EIGHT TIMES larger
I've just migrated @mirroredgamecovers.bsky.social, my Twitter #bot with over 30k followers, over to BlueSky.
Moving forward the bot will no longer be posting on Twitter. The account will be deactivated soon.
Today, under heavy police presence, nonviolent rebels and protesters paddled out to block the movement of coal and capital from the Port of Newcastle, the world’s largest coal port, for the @risingtideaus.bsky.social’s #PeoplesBlockade.
