I'm sorry but why is the ABC sending notifications asking "Does the PM deserve to keep his job?" We have an excess of commentary on the personalities of politics and a dearth of meaningful policy examination. It's not a race, it's the future of our country. Can we please treat it like it matters?

Essentially we should trait AI like that over confident student who happens to be prone to plagiarism, oversimplification and occasionally outright fabrication.

Why is meta sending me recommendations to follow far right extremist politicians?

Dutton’s latest claim that the Coalition’s #nuclear policy will cut electricity bills by 44% has been slammed as “either dangerously ill-informed” or a lie – and new modelling shows why

The biggest risk to energy prices and reliability is ageing, unreliable coal fired power stations breaking down The quicker we build new renewable energy and storage the better

Again, sounds just like the LNP who rejected free lunches for school kids as socialism but support making long lunches a tax write off for business.

Again, we don't need to look to the US to see Trumpian plans unfolding. The LNP in Queensland have stopped wind approvals, cut renewables investment, and poured billions into coal power in the 3 months since being elected. They're not only delaying climate action but risk sending industry offshore.

TOMORROW MORNING: Join parents of trans kids to stand against unprecedented attacks on our healthcare. Bring noise making tools, flags and signs. 9:30am Wed 29th Jan Tim Nicholl’s Office 1/729 Sandgate Rd, Clayfield QLD 4011

We don't have to look to the US to find sickos fixated on young people's gender. Queenslands LNP are full of them, and they're gleefully sacrificing a small marginalised group to press on with their culture wars. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

Outside feels dank at 25 and humid. Down from 36 today (car said 41 while driving the M1).

For the uptick in accounts proclaiming that 0.04% of something in the atmosphere can't possibly cause any meaningful effect on the climate.

The amazing thing about Peter Dutton's claim here is that while he make it sound like a difficult task, this would actually be a slower roll-out than what was likely achieved in Australia 2024. A quick thread with numbers:

The big failure of this moment will be progressives not capitalising on this to gain support for massive electrification. Vic prem set out an ambitious household electrification program. Fed MPs should be backing them in with more $$$ and vocal support.

It is remarkable how bent the tech bros are. Tic toc essentially fabricated its ban then salvation by Trump, so he can be painted a free speech hero to young users. How do we combat that level of fasc orchestration? Certainly not by relying on corruptable online spaces. Meet your neighbours folks.

This is a moral obscenity. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

This is indeed diabolical. Offsets for fossil fuel expansion are about one thing; greenwashing and prolonging fossil fuel use and expansion.

Imagine what $87m invested in active transport connections, bike parking, and bike/scooter subsidies! I'm certain there are less expensive ways to get half a train load of passengers to the station.

"If practicable" Perfect for rendering any target, objective, commitment, plan, or other such notion to improve or do better worthless.
