I’m bored of waking up and seeing a picture of a demonstrably shit golfer say the same old bollocks next to a tied back curtain by an aeroplane toilet

America's blatant double standards when it comes to atomic capabilities in the Middle East are fuelling an arms race that could become nuclear. www.crikey.com.au/2026/07/27/n...

Washington's double standard is arming a nuclear race in the Middle East

As the US threatens to strike the nuclear facilities of Iran — a nation that was, until last year, under inspection by the international nuclear watchdog — it has authorised Saudi Arabia to develop…

Serial heatwaves, unprecedented leaps between old and new temperature extremes, mass evacuations - and speechless governments. Because the words they would have to say in their second sentences are “fossil fuels”. And they mostly just cannot. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

France and Spain race to control wildfires as more than 250,000 evacuated – live

Meanwhile, in the UK, a blaze in the Cairngorms national park has been described as ‘very serious’ by Scotland’s first minister

Donald Trump still has absolutely no idea what he was trying to do, how he was going to do it, why he wasn't able to do it, or what he's going to do next to try to fix what he has no idea he broke. He's a delusional, crackbrained, and deranged moron. It's just that simple.

Breaking News: President Trump has set aside, at least for now, plans to sharply escalate the American military assault against Iran.

It is extraordinary how it has become a sort of “settled wisdom” these days that Net Zero is an absurd aim, a sign of mad political correctness, and “has got to go”, when our planet is literally burning to death.

You see everything is connected. The marine heatwaves off the coasts of Europe make heatwaves on land more intense, which in turn dries out vegetation, which then creates perfect fire weather conditions. Brought to you by the world's refusal to drastically reduce the burning of fossil fuels.

Extreme wildfire activity more than doubled worldwide. Canada: millions of hectares burned. Europe & US: record emissions & smoke crossing oceans. Africa bears huge exposure (85% of global wildfire-affected people). Emissions from fires up 60% in recent decades.

Instead of waiting until 2027 for "advice", maybe Labor could follow advice from its own 2020 Senate report that rejected the anti-intellectual & inequitable scheme as creating an "Americanised education system characterised by high levels of private debt". And get rid of it. As promised. In 2022.

Jonathan Swan says that when President Trump returned to office, he pressured the intelligence community to produce some kind of evidence proving that the 2020 election was stolen, and that Trump’s Thursday night address was the best they could do.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w ago

My takeaway from that speech is that we are headed down the road of Trump trying to outright rig elections. It probably won't work, but he's going for it.

Eddie Robson@eddierobson.bsky.social · 3w ago

I was having a similar thought the other day about why AI gets the "it's the future and we all have to embrace it" line whereas renewable energy, which obviously IS the future and we're well on the way there already, is subject to "are we going too fast on Net Zero" nonsense.

Big business runs our media and so they're much more excited about AI and the concentrated profits to oligarchs it promises than solar, which has diffuse benefits to all people. In fact, solar will kill one of their favorite businesses (big oil)

Education Minister Jason Clare knows he has a HECS problem. He knows the system is inequitable, places an unfair burden on young graduates, and discourages school leavers from pursuing tertiary education. The question now is: what is he going to do about it?
