Tom Cotton would not even be in Congress, were it not for the huge defense contractors supporting him from the beginning and keeping him flush with cash.

I can’t even conceive of wanting something like that for another person

From 1984, by George Orwell. It seems some people seem to be taking as a template, rather than a warning.

Because of course the guy who was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft got a Presidential pardon...and a job at the DOJ.

FUCK AI www.huffpost.com/entry/histor...

A government that can’t bring itself to tax fossil fuel, big tech or any wealth properly but defunds its critical institutions is not a good government, sorry

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.

The cost. My @smh @theage cartoon.

It would be hypocritical for us to host COP. Woodside’s NW Gas expansion is Australia’s climate shame.

Trump vs The BBC. Love or loathe the BBC, recent events have put the UK's journalistic sovereignty in peril. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCMn...

Loud and clear. It’s not going to be enough to shrug as we reluctantly watch AI inveigle its way into every corner of our lives. It will require people and institutions to actively refuse it, while pointing out what of ourselves we trade away for its apparent convenience.

Meanwhile Australia opens massive new fossil fuel export projects with vastly more emissions than all the pacific states combined. Australia is an out-of-contol petrostate, drowning its Pacific neighbours, and should not be allowed to host COP31.

How is it that a press that never missed Bill Clinton chat up one woman at a cocktail party, or Barack Obama sneak one fucking drag, or Joe Biden stub his toe, missed Trump having Thanksgiving with fucking Epstein? Crackerjack reporting there.

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document— "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

“A writer at the Times contacted me to talk. He said he was less interested in Mamdani himself than he was in the Africana Studies part…” On why maybe you shouldn’t talk to the New York Times about Zohran Mamdani.

Oil and gas giant Inpex has admitted to srsly under-reporting its cancer-causing pollution (incl. benzene, sulphur dioxide & hydrogen sulphide) just days before a major oil spill at their Darwin gas plant. Inpex is a major gas exporter. Last year they paid no royalties and no resource tax! #auspol
