Controversial take perhaps, but I think you can install air-conditioning and shutdown data centers at the same time. maybe even steal all the air-conditioning units from the data centers and install them in public housing. Then run them off solar and battery while taxing the hyper rich to death

Big batteries are absolutely crushing the role for peaking gas in Australia's National Electricity Market. Less gas means lower bills and lower emissions for all of us.

Just know Dave Hughes is projecting and lashing out, because he can no longer subsidise his multi million $ property portfolio with your working tax dollars.

You’ve heard of Stockholm Syndrome. Welcome to Budapest Envy.

In broad run strategic terms it looks like the Iranian regime has comprehensively won. And China and Russia are both in much stronger positions also.

#GraphicOfTheWeek: The North Sea is home to 101 operational offshore wind farms, with around 30 GW of installed capacity. It is the largest wind hub in the world, supplying #renewable #wind energy to six European countries. See last week's top graphic: https://loom.ly/AWSeFdE

This is so awful. Please please just wait for verified information.

“Sing the World”. Brisbane-based film, TV, instrumental, & choral composer @joetwistmusic.bsky.social wrote “Let me Sing the World” for Canticum in 2024. Inspired by themes of renewal and hope, this expressive choral work invites listeners to experience healing and joy amid life's challenges.

This is such a glorious and warm setting of this beautiful poem. Looking forward to performing it next month.

I quit smoking a few years ago. Should I be paying a non smoking tax . Seems to me an ev tax is similar

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

Lovely sunset in Brisbane this evening.

BC their vote didn't actually fall, the Libs' did, and that propelled the ALP to take the Greens' seats in the undemocratic HoR. In the Senate, with democratic multi-member electorates, the Greens win seats similar to their electoral support.

It's really the Greens' fault for pissing off the sort of shadowy billionaires who fund dodgy well-funded attack groups like "Advance". They could have just sat back and done nothing on the climate and housing crises, like Labor, but instead they had to be all determined to improve things.

Just noticed that the Australian external territory of Ashmore and Cartier Islands escaped Trump’s tariffs. I’ve never heard of those islands before but if anyone asks, that’s where all our cattle farms and aluminium smelters are.

For those who follow the wind and sunlight markets, here's a price update

The former ambassador to Denmark for the United States, Rufus Gifford, posted this video on his Facebook account: Ht: @hpsc24.bsky.social

Trump’s latest threat against me is as real as his 'perfect' phone calls and 'biggest crowds ever.' More whining, more victimhood, zero follow-through. Either do it or keep crying, fatso. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-tantru...

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Seeing a lot this federal election of people trying to scare voters off voting for independents by saying 'but who are they preferencing?' Each individual voter for a candidate decides where their preferences go, not the candidate.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

🚨The European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas : “The free world needs a new leader” The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

This is worth sharing. @australianlabor.bsky.social needs to watch it too, then #CancelAUKUS.

1. The concept of "baseload" is a myth. It's an antiquated concept pushed heavily by the fossil fuel industry. 2. Nuclear power is the most expensive power that can be generated 3 . Dutton is a liar. #auspol

Opinion | "No ally can now rely on the United States," @keanebernard.bsky.social writes. So why aren't we seeing fresh thinking about Australia's defence priorities?

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Kind of hard to take "man what'll it take to wake everyone from their slumber!!" threads from people posting that on X

This is fascism.

Now that’s a weather forecast. Stay safe, Pilbarans.

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

Prosecutors accused Ross Ulbricht’s Silk Road of facilitating $200 million in online drug deals. Yet he is pardoned whilst the US president enforces tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China. Because of drugs entering the US. Please explain to a flabbergasted Aussie, HTF this makes sense?

The United States doesn’t have preferential voting. Labor is indeed pretty frustrating so you can vote for all the good non-bought candidates with spines then Labor then the coalition without falling for this bullshit scare campaign.

Be like this based Finnish guy. Blow up your Tesla. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_9a...

Fine I’ll say it, we can now all safely assume that anyone who buys a Tesla after what happened this week is a nazi.

If Netanyahu and the Israeli Government have their way, a couple of hundred years from now, the Palestinian people of Gaza, the rightful land owners, will be forced to celebrate Israel Day. You know, much like our indigenous peoples in Australia have to do, every year on this day. ❤️🖤💛 🇵🇸

This week's Internet winner goes to...

Dutton says men are 'fed up' with being overlooked at work Women have been locked out of work opportunities for decades, denied their potential Slowly, it's evening up & already men are fed up?🙄 When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression 🐝 #auspol
