In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname
74/250 by SUNDAY. A small and very doable goal for children’s therapist Ahmed, who is facing state violence while studying in Europe. Funds cover rent, food and living expenses. Chip on what you can—hit ‘weekly’ or ‘monthly’ if possible to give him more certainty! chuffed.org/project/ahmedf
17/530. No movement for TWO DAYS for single mum Maha… can we get her campaign moving? Join others who’ve chipped in small, regular amounts to help cover Maha’s rent and living expenses… basically, who’ve kept Maha alive for more than a year. Amazing! bit.ly/for-maha
1/ Myopic that in a world that's on FIRE or in FLOOD, with millions harmed, Ken Henry's focus is "meeting the net zero by 2050 target" & opining that "the only mechanism we've got for doing that is carbon offsets. And carbon offsets are under threat" from environmentalists & conservationists

My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The good news is that to fix climate change all we need to do is repeal some laws. The bad news is that those laws are... laws of physics.

Australia has huge potential for medium-sized solar installations on businesses, factories & farms. This is really important policy. But I hope it is paired with some sort of incentive to pair the solar with batteries... www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...

17/530. We only have a few weeks to raise Maha’s rent/food. But no need to break the bank to help! We just ask for a small amount— the price of a coffee, say. Click ‘weekly’ or ‘monthly’ if you can to give Maha a reliable income. bit.ly/for-maha
A few years ago, prior to Australia’s ‘Black Summer’, I began capturing extreme events as I became aware of them escalating to a frequency of becoming annual events - some type of disaster of unprecedented scale occurring somewhere where such an event was previously unheard of. 🧵
"And, by its nature, AI training demand comes in short-term surges. This cycling on and off appears to be sharply reducing the life of the turbines, leading to downtime and costly repairs or, worse yet, the need for new equipment." Data centers are fundamentally different from other large loads.

The irony of accusing whoever sabotaged weapons made by Lovitt Technologies to kill people of “terrorism” is beyond ironic and shows the word can be politicised and applied as needed to suppress dissent. Threatening life in prison for damaging private property designed for mass murder… right #Auspol
