Worth a read. The confusion in the electorate over who is responsible for what is epic. This could help set some of the sillier confusion straight.

A thing I have been saying for the past couple years is that AI is labor devaluation scheme. There are very few areas in which capitalists are so perturbed by costs as in labor. The goal is to reduce labor cost to nothing. There are only a few ways to achieve this. www.newyorker.com/culture/infi...

"Trump declared, 'I will be announcing a new roster of ballerinas, with an amazing principal ballerina, DONALD J. TRUMP.' He said he was 'disgusted' to discover that all of the company’s current ballerinas were women, a state of affairs that he blamed on DEI." www.borowitzreport.com/p/trump-name...

#Breaking Production Tax Credits Bill has passed the Senate! That is a huge win! Congratulations to all involved, including the Smart Energy Council played a critical role in the development of Future Made in Australia. Passed the Senate 34 to 28, with the LNP voting against it. #auspol #AusVotes25

Great to see that Dutton has givens Jacinta Nampijinpa Price the portfolio of Government Efficiency - maybe she could start by telling us what she thinks of Baranaby’s Inland Rail project that has blown out from 8 billion to $30 billion…he was warned at the time www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04...

Jommy Tee gets to the bottom of the NACC secrecy through FOI … Redacted documents, legal irrrevency (whatever the fuck that means) and it is basically just a Morse code redaction to say … ‘Fuck you …’ #auspol #Robodebt6 #Robodebt #Corruption #NACC

Norway looks like it's going to hit its goal: 100% of new cars sold in 2025 onward will be electric. In 2024, it was 88%. (Somebody should really tell them that EVs don't work in cold weather!)

Oh please God, no. Operation Fluffy Dutton has begun. Expect cooking tips, puppies, daggy Dad dancing & whatever else marketing invents. All designed to disguise the fact he’s a cold-blooded political thug, fully owned & operated by the fossil fuel industry. Gunna need a bigger bucket. #auspol

Does this sound familiar? Dirty fossil fuel companies going “green”? Like Woodside, BP, Shell, Exxon, Santos, Adani et al? Like how Dutton was s trying to paint nuclear as a “cleaner” option while it would mean MORE toxic fossil fuels are burnt? Fossil fuel companies the world over are 💩.

In an alternate universe, Senate Republicans would be rejecting RFK, Jr outright, on principle. Here on Earth, we at least need Senate Democrats to hold the line and make clear that an anti-vax, anti-science conspiracist is not fit to run federal health programs. www.cbsnews.com/boston/video...

Climate denial is alive and well and its not just in the Liberal Party. Science says gas is bad, science says we need no new gas. The International Energy Association says we need no new gas The UN Secretary General says we need no new ga. Yet a Labor Environment minister says gas is good

Can we just admit, that, like everything else that Scott Morrison did, AUKUS is a complete & utter stuff-up? Can we return to good sense? Own up & say it’s a pointless, expensive waste of money? Redirect that $1/2 trillion to education, health, housing, welfare, science, ABC, SBS, CSIRO, NDIS? 🙏🏼

Victoria has the lowest crime rates in the World with Melbourne ranked the 5th safest city globally. So, when Brad Battin & his all-man band wants a crime crackdown, it has zero to do with crime & everything to do with scaring people because he has zero to offer. #vicpol #auspol
