The Government™ has made an ad about the era we're living through, and it's surpsingly honest and informative.

A prime-time TV report on renewables and EVs fell apart at the first fact-check. Misinformation is distorting Australia’s energy debate – and being amplified in mainstream media, Giles Parkinson writes. #auspol #Energy #Climate #Renewables #Media

Israel's actions in Lebanon are "totally unacceptable," says Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot ahead of a meeting with EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg. 🔴 More on aljazeera.com

In a letter to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, the three governments say Israel is violating 'human rights'.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
