Good morning Bluesky ☀️ My grandad told me he saw the Titanic - from the outset he warned all the people that the ship would sink, but nobody listened to him. He knew he was right and didn't give up. He warned them again & again, until eventually they kicked him out of the cinema.

The Titanic sinking under a moonlit sky.

Good stuff. Boost for business to put panels on their roofs. Time to really put those bigger rooftops to work and get them bringing down the cost of doing business in #Australia. And with the ev including truck fleet really starting to move - it's not just free power - it's free fuel too.

Chris Bowen@chrisbowenmp.bsky.social · 16h ago

The Albanese Labor Government is helping businesses, farms and community organisations cut their energy costs and strengthen our nation's energy security.  We're doing this by putting more rooftops to work and cutting the cost of medium-sized solar systems by 20 per cent.

This is a wildly prescient story about Chicago's proto-RFK Jr., in charge of public health during the Spanish Flu. He thought beer killed malaria and that bathing could kill you. He had a feud with an actual TB doctor, who insisted bathing is good. He bullied the TB doctor until he killed himself.

Sachs believed that the new administration was undermining patient care by making hiring and contract decisions based on political connections. Thompson and Robertson in turn accused Sachs of being financially extravagant, incompetent, and dictatorial. As Sachs resigned from the sanitarium he had worked tirelessly to build, Frank Billings, one of the most respected physicians in the city, called Robertson “utterly unqualified.” On April 2, 1916, Sachs committed suicide. For reformers and the medical establishment, Sachs was a martyr to grotesque political corruption. Although The Republican, a propaganda sheet literally published in an office in City Hall, sneered that suicide “occasionally has been a haven of moral cowards who preferred the shelter of death to public exposure of their shortcomings,” Robertson took a less confrontational tone after Sachs’s death. Still, he refused to step down.

Data centre critters beating their chests over being advanced when 95% of what I'm seeing are nepo babies burning through the biological wealth that is the reason we exist at all at a 10x rate. Aka not very smart boys and girls who still can't handle change. Disappointing.

The Australia Institute@australiainstitute.org.au · 19h ago

The data centre industry’s greenwashing is buried in grey areas and jargon, and the government isn’t doing enough to fix it. In his latest article, Senior Research Associate Ketan Joshi explains what their proposed new regulations will mean for Australia. #auspol
