"This crisis will be good for the energy transition" is not just untrue in the basic sense but also as morally repugnant as the "nature is healing" stuff from the early weeks of COVID.
None of this should be happening, and celebrating the side effects of racist extermination is ghoulish
'We are losing the stars. Not all at once, but quietly, one streetlight, one neon sign, one expanding suburb at a time.'

I have listened to every BTB and thought I was inured to the worst of humanity, but the story of Craig and that one line “a bad man comes at night” has really fucked me up
I’m so sorry for your loss Pete. 13 years since I lost my Dad, and I’m still running ideas by him in my head every day. I don’t think I’ll ever stop
(1) Casey Means is a dreadful nominee and should not be confirmed.
(2) I don't have any desire to defend for-profit advertising of any kind.
(3) "Obesity is a national crisis" as a message both relies on and perpetuates bias against fat people.
Or maybe it was a fake spine the whole time
I do wonder if he gradually lost his spine over the years, or if he had it removed in one go when he became PM
I was specifically responding to the bad faith accusation / assumption that a Palestinian who has written extensively on Palestine is somehow not concerned about other Palestinians
Do you even know who Professor El Kurd is, or were you so upset at her two factual sentences that you couldn’t even be bothered to check
Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.
What gives me hope is that my kids (19 and 17) despise LLMs. I don’t know if they’re representative of their generation, but I’d like to think so
I stopped posting on Twitter and deleted my account and I too became CEO of The Onion, so Tim’s story checks out
If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.
It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

Every day I read something new that chips away at my lifelong opposition to the death penalty
Ammori: This is a monumental victory for fundamental freedoms and for Palestine Ammori has released a statement describing the high court’s ruling as a “monumental victory” and that the government proscribed Palestine Action as a terror group “in a Trumpian abuse of power”. She said: “This is a monumental victory both for our fundamental freedoms here in Britain and in the struggle for freedom for the Palestinian people, striking down a decision that will forever be remembered as one of the most extreme attacks on free speech in recent British history. “Palestine Action is the first civil disobedience organisation that does not advocate for violence to be proscribed by the British Government as a ‘terrorist’ group, in a Trumpian abuse of power which would have seen this Labour Government proscribe the Suffragettes. This ban was unlawful, resulting in the unlawful arrest of nearly 3,000 people - among them priests, vicars, former magistrates and retired doctors – under terrorism laws for simply sitting in silence while holding signs reading: ‘I oppose genocide – I support Palestine Action’.

A UK court has just ruled that the ban on the Palestine Action Group is blatantly unlawful - EXCELLENT news

Stealing a dog from a 4 year old who has just lost both parents is the kind of cartoonishly evil origin story you need to end up in trump’s inner circle
I have no knife expertise whatsoever, but I do suspect that when you need to use one for self defence it wouldn’t be very convenient to have to un-embed it from your bedroom wall first
“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.
feels like the lies are getting bolder.
1/ Police blockading Town Hall square, station entry points on that side, and both ends of the George St block between Bathurst St and QVB is called “officers had been trying to disperse the crowd”. The crowd had no way to “disperse” and no instructions.
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay
If I can do hundreds of pointless things in the time it takes you to do one worthwhile thing, who is going to win the doing things race?
We know what they do when they think nobody’s watching (or cares) though, right? That’s how we end up with places like Don Dale. Prison guards in the NT, NSW cops, ICE goons. They’re all the same people
My first thought is that if these uniformed thugs are this eager to behave this way in broad daylight on camera, how exactly do behave when nobody’s watching
Aw man. What a huge loss to us all. Rest in peace Jon
Across Australia: protest the visit of Israeli president Isaac Herzog on Monday 9 February. We will not be complicit in genocide.

That’s a depressing sentence and this is all terrible but on the plus side this thread has taught me that Diedrich Bader seems cool
'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once
This listener would love to hear an episode of your pod with Dr McCreight as a guest
I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad
