I'll report on the actual numbers shortly...

Once you realize Tolkien wants every heroic person or place name to be cretic (long-short-long syllable), you start seeing Tolkien names everywhere. Labrador. Pinkypie. Scoobydoo. Macklemore.

Some good news. “A wild beaver has been spotted in Norfolk for the first time since beavers were hunted to extinction in England at the beginning of the 16th century.”

The State Police out in numbers to make certain no effective criticism of Israel is heard in the petro-state of Woodsideistan, a colony on Wadjuk land

Thinking of this in light of any real reform following the Robodebt scandal, the refusal to raise the social security rate to any substantial level, and the acknowledgement by the public service that 140 aspects of the social security system have been operating illegally.

Said the Moon to the Thief, "You know not of what you seek / You'll doom the world to no light to guide the paths that men seek" "Oh, but all the wealth in the world will be mine / without a means of defense for all those blind ...

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

We’re launching the Earth Rover Program - trying to make geophysics actually usable for farmers. That means tackling the ridiculous price of equipment and opening up a global, easy-to-use dataset so anyone, anywhere around the globe, can understand what’s happening under their feet.

Just saw a "climate communication has too many facts when we need the stories" take on LinkedIn like it's 2011 again

"And I'll fight any scunner that says otherwise!"

Well this fucking sucks. Ecosystems are being wholesale destroyed. We have to at some stage acknowledge the massive risk our planet's sixth major extinction event poses to ourselves. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami. They are lying to us.

📢 The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention is examining how the country deprives people of their liberty, from prisons to offshore detention facilities.

The shape of the economy matters as much as the size…investment in renewables & coal mines both lift GDP, but one improves the future & one harms it…our MPs should talk as much about the shape of economic activity as its rate of growth Great podcast thepoint.com.au/podcasts/251...

The gas industry’s charade is over. Australians know we have plenty of gas and excessive exports are the problem. 72% of Australians realise cutting exports is the way bring down energy bills, and just 28% think we need new gas fields. x.com/markogge/sta...

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK. He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen. His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

“How embarrassing for us as a nation that the opposition parties are still deliberately ignorant of the science and evidence and prefer to operate on the prejudices of climate deniers and political opportunists,” writes John Hewson. satpa.pe/LoZCrW6

I genuinely do not understand why ‘RFK Jr wants to kill thousands of American kids and make millions sick’ isn’t in the news basically every day. Also, why are Republicans OK with killing kids? Is it because they’re so busy covering for pedophiles that they’ve given up on kids entirely?

Where's the 24-7 coverage on Trump's declining health, inability to stay awake DURING TELEVISED events, cankles, two MRIs, and lack of stamina? Where's Jake Tapper? NYT? Fox? Corporate Media?
