So the same people who say Indigenous Australians can’t blame the settler colony for their troubles are also adamant they can blame new immigrants for theirs? Got it.

The court also found that "Senator Hanson has a tendency to make negative, derogatory, discriminating or hateful statements in relation to, about or against groups of people relevantly identified as persons of colour, migrants to Australia and Muslims, and to do so because of those characteristics."

Remember this: 1️⃣ Coal- and gas-fired power plants are the United States’ largest stationary source of such health-harming emissions. 2️⃣ Globally, the United States is the second-largest contributor of annual heat-trapping emissions, and the largest historical emitter.

This is bad news: the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is one of the key factors controlling extreme rainfall. More water vapor, more extreme precipitation. The increase in atmospheric water vapor is due record-setting warmth, which is due to climate change + the brewing El Nino.

When we talk about how science is broken, maybe at least consider how a huge collaboration measured the ripples in spacetime resulting the collision of two black holes 1.3 billion light years away, as counterweight the guy who had to fake his data to show that people who procrastinate fall behind.

The main distinction between the AI resignations and pronouncements is that while they say there is a >10% chance AI will wipe us out, there is a 100% chance that emissions from all the fossil fuel reserves that exist on these companies balance sheets will wipe us out.

"Usually if someone was actually trying to kill you.....you would fight back. Yet we greet the news that AI could cause human extinction with a glazed indifference. It’s worth remembering that no one actually asked for AI, & yet here it suddenly is, trying to kill us."

🌏 Beetaloo is compatible with catastrophic levels of global warming. 💰 It would be one of the most expensive energy sources, driving up cost of living for Australians. 🌅 It poses severe risks to the outback, community health and precious aquifers.

The real low point in Kevin Gallagher's speech earlier this week was when he claimed the gas industry receives no government subsidies. Between direct grants - $15m - and free credits - $85m - Santos has received $100m worth of federal subsidies for its Moomba CCS project. I guess he forgot those.

Santos boss Kevin Gallagher spoke at the National Press Club on Wednesday. It'll blow your mind to discover that he spread an awfully large amount of shit. Me in The New Daily:

Anthropic Is building a surveillance system to monitor activists using a “pre-crime” approach that tries to predict incidents before they happen. The extensive monitoring system that the AI company is building is aimed primarily at keeping tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of AI.

New hires and comments in interviews show that the AI giant is using its capabilities against dissenters.
