Iran has not received any ceasefire proposal and sees no reason for one, a senior Iranian official told CNN.

Penny Wong, 2003: "I say suspicion is not enough. To justify going to war we need more than suspicion. What sort of world would we live in if suspicion alone was justification for participation in unilateral military action outside the auspices of the UN? "

For those who think nuclear power can save us; France is lowering the amount of nuclear plants in operation because THE RIVER IS TOO WARM TO COOL THE REACTORS. Please, I beg you, sit with that for a while.

So, it turns out we're treating fascism just like we've been treating climate change: – ignore warnings of experts – buy into bullshit "alternative explanations" - read "don't worry" media op-eds – deny it will really be that bad – start seeing major evidence – hope somebody does something

Successive NZ governments have done little to properly decarbonise our grid. Starting way ahead of all these countries they protected a financial model that resists decarbonisation and abundant supply over dividends.

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

"The Right has theater. The left has critique." That's Avgi Saketopoulou, a radical psychoanalyst, scholar, & I think it concisely expresses so much of how we got here. The Right presents spectacle; the "left"--shorthand for a range--prides itself on seeing through it. 1/

World’s most corrupt & evil conman saw Albo fold like a deck chair to Woodside and Tassal and is eyeing off his next shakedown victim.

NEW: Musk's xAI data center in Memphis is emitting plumes of methane and other pollutants, which are drifting into nearby Memphis neighborhoods Video from @oilfieldwitness.bsky.social @txsharon.bsky.social captured it on camera gasoutlook.com/analysis/xai...

Does this mean we can stop sending them so much gas soon?

I guess he doesn't want a repeat of the empty bleachers for his inaugurations. Of course, the compensation is CRYPTO.

Meta and others caught using serious and advanced malware-like backdoors to bypass device permissions, open ports and track sensitive data from BILLIONS of devices. Yet another reason to delete it, it's literal malware. If Google actually cared about your security, they would remove these apps […]

Greta Thunberg and other human rights defenders have been kidnapped by Israel on international waters. The aid they were delivering to Gaza that includes baby formula & medical supplies has been stolen. The ship Madleen was attacked with drones & will be forced to port at Ashdod Port. #3E #FreeGaza

Things we should not forget #66: The NACC effectively allowed Scott Morrison to stay out of prison by doing absolutely nothing to seek justice for RoboDebt deaths & misery.

Bowen told Insiders that Australia was "by and large on track" to meet its legislated target of reducing emissions by 43 per cent by 2030. That’s a lie. Emissions are going UP.

Absolutely heartbreaking

Dead set legend

The latest Greenhouse Gas Emissions figures are out, and we are nowhere near on track for the (woeful and inadequate) 43% below 2005 levels by 2030

"Approval of the North West Shelf extension would be easily one of the worst decisions ever made by an Environment Minister in Australia's history," said @grogsgamut.bsky.social.

Imagine announcing in Reconciliation Week that gas pollution for the next 40 years will destroy 60,000 year old sacred Indigenous rock art at the North West Shelf? #Auspol #LaborClimateCriminals
