Mars First Logistics 1.0 comes out on Friday! Here are some of my favourite builds from Steam Workshop:

LONELY WATER (1973): Legendary child-frightener, and one of the most influential and effective PIFs ever made. Donald Pleasence's voice helped lower the number of child deaths by drowning and opened the door to the scary, deadly PIFs of the 70s & 80s. A folk horror film condensed into 90 seconds.

I'm old enough to remember when the narrative was that the US was solving the climate crisis and China is the problem because it uses coal. Now the narrative is that China is solving the climate crisis, but this is bad, while the US is currently denying that climate change is even a thing.

wrong answers! get yer guaranteed wrong answers here! correct just often enough you'll get lulled into depending on em! unsustainably propping up a broad range of severe and irreparable economic issues caused by open looting of the rich and politically connected! replace experts with wrong answers!

Get this man out of Australian public life already fuckssaaakkke

State capitalism with American characteristics is here. (3/n)

Everyone’s invited to the 5th Carnival for David at Rowley Way NW80SF! Kids’ activities at 1 PM, parade at 7 PM — fireworks to follow!

The knowledge that a prosecutor might well get sacked if they don’t find incriminating evidence in matters deemed politically important by Trump really makes you wonder about the incriminating evidence in ongoing matters deemed politically important by Trump

UniForum is a “benchmarking service” that Nous provides to universities globally. University executives frequently invoke UniForum as an objective justification for cuts and redundancies. This UniForum graph, for example, was a centerpiece of the case ANU’s ex-VC made to Council for Renew ANU. 👇

Private consultants are taking control of how public universities are evaluated and run. My submission to the Senate university governance inquiry raises concerns about the impact of Nous Group and their dodgy UniForum data on our universities. www.aph.gov.au/DocumentStor... A thread

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

People run for lives from air strikes and explosive-laden ‘robots’, as lifelines collapse in Gaza’s biggest urban centre.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

I’m often asked for temperature anomaly plots using a “pre-industrial” baseline (1850–1900). I update a full set of these graphics each month, now through August 2025: zacklabe.com/climate-chan.... Always free to use and share!

If you need an invite to a private tracker site… and promise to be a good seeder and keep your ratio in good standing…. HMU

A general reminder that torrenting still exists and is still very easy to do.

Such a good @bankfieldbecky.bsky.social + @steveclimate.bsky.social paper here: examining how "climate pragmatism" has become a major part of the new lexicon of climate delay Also see: "climate realism" theconversation.com/politicians-...

Gotta admit, in my head the two Jimmy’s with talk shows - Kimmel and Fallon - are the same guy but they most definitely are NOT the same guy lol bsky.app/profile/ster...

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

oh thank god

We are point where … Karl Rove and … John “Torture Memo” Yoo feel compelled to loudly and publicly denounce MAGA overreach (louder, honestly, than many Dem leaders). I don’t know what it means: things are abt to get really bad? Or proof of fatal overreach? But either way, it’s just wild.

If 90% of your investments are offsetting supply losses, that's not a formula for a future energy resource. If anything, it suggests the final EROI of fossil fuels is likely trending towards the net energy cliff. That's another way of saying that #FossilFuelsAreStrandedAssets 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🌊🔋

Faculty job — please help spread the word! At UC Santa Cruz we have two games degrees, one in Engineering and one in Arts. This is a job with the Arts folks, who include super cool creators like @mattiebrice.bsky.social & @swensen.bsky.social recruit.ucsc.edu/JPF01998

Some killings you're allowed to joke about.

Jerry from Ben & Jerry's has resigned after 47 years after Unilever silenced their politcal activism.

This hits pretty hard, from the chair of the UN commission on Gaza www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

Man I thought comedy was legal!!!! www.gamedeveloper.com/business/son...

Why is Israel invading Gaza again? To commit as much genocide as they can get away with. What about Hamas? Just as US politicians say "crime" whenever they call for more state repression, today "Hamas" is simply the noise Israeli politicians make to mean "We're going to murder more Palestinians."

whoa, breaking news www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Dr Richard Denniss says the “obvious” ones to pay for damage from increased floods as per the latest climate report should be the Fossil Fuel co’s, as houses will become uninsurable “The insurance industry will not help ppl in 20yrs time with their flooded houses”💯 #Estimates

After falling for much of the year (following the record warmth of 2023 and 2024), global temperatures have started to tick back up over the past 6 weeks. We are currently on track for the third warmest September on record.

The comparison of Israel to Sparta is literally what Hannah Arendt predicted would happen back in 1947.

At what point are we going to realise that the wealth we will lose from reducing fossil fuel exports is trivial compared to the wealth we will lose from pumping all that CO2 into the atmosphere? Will it be too late by then? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... #aupol

Climate Risk Assessment Report: 💀 400% increase in heat deaths 🔥 1m homes uninsurable by 2050 🥵$211 billion in lost wealth from reduced labour productivity. Uninsurable means unsellable, means ppl lose wealth, reduced tax revenue & economic recession for all www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... #auspol

“modelling suggests an increase in heat-related mortality of 444% for Sydney” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

"Madmen fueling the madness. I call on these companies to stop acting as enablers to planetary destruction... I urge every country to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies. And I urge news media and tech companies to stop taking fossil fuel advertising." - António Gutteres

Update on “political violence is unacceptable under any circumstances and the dignity of human life is paramount” news.

The Australian’s headline writers cast doubt on the National Climate Risk Assessment. #climatedenial

We're halfway between the IPCC 6th and 7th Assessment Reports, and an international team of 61 scientists updated some of the key metrics used in the reports. As I wrote for @climateconnections.bsky.social, the findings were pretty bleak, but there are some glimmers of hope 🧵 (1/6)

If the right does not mean its commitment to free speech (and probably never did), what difference would it have made to the current moment if the left had been more willing to accept unfiltered social media hate for the sake of it? Genuinely not quite sure it would have mattered.

I am not at all sure how it is technically possible for a government computer system to suspend someone's benefits without a job provider submitting one single shred of supporting evidence. They did this to me twice lmao. Look at the size of the Government logo on top of these 💀

Great to hear this from the government minister - pity they’re also expanding coal mines and fracking www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Mitigation has to come first. Cutting emissions is the only way to reduce the scale of the risk. The most effective way investors can do this is by using their power to accelerate the phaseout of fossil fuels. www.accr.org.au/news/%E2%80%...
