Data centres powering AI could demand as much new electricity as cars & houses until 2040, per Greenpeace analysis. It's not just the size of the energy demand, but also its immediacy: forecasts for data centre energy use jumped 6x over the last year www.abc.net.au/news/...

3/ Public health accreditation bodies should immediately reevaluate training standards for airborne disease prevention, ventilation, filtration, respirators, and aerosol science. Droplet dogma has already cost enough lives.

1/ Please put aerosol scientists and engineers back in charge of public health. We built infectious disease policy around outdated droplet assumptions while ignoring aerosol physics, ventilation, and indoor air quality.

Reform seem to have a stock answer forgiving any of their potential/actual councilllors and mps but somehow they keep picking Candidates with a public record of sexism/racism/bigotry/anti-vax statements and beliefs…

There are a number of "limited" tender contracts (ie. sole supplier) ASECA has entered into. The one referred to in Pocock's question ⬇️

apropos of nothing but zionist demands for exclusionary open carry zones for zionists, NSW Police use Firearm Prohibition Orders to target and criminalise Aboriginal people, from childhood, for their entire lives Btw in colonial settler states the social order is defined by who has the guns.

Asking questions of the counter terrorism unit in Home Affairs - they got a ton of money to tackle online radicalisation of young people but they're not doing that by penalising algorithms that promote extremist content, instead the focus is on young people themselves. They just don't get it.

I can understand why @albomp.bsky.social hates David Pocock so much, David keeps emphasising the hypocrisy of the Albanese Government - www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Sorry. My @smh cartoon.

Stunning arrogance from Commissioner Paul Brereton, insisting he was right to keep his own CEO in the dark about his secret IGADF role Shoebridge “Do you accept responsibility for that?” Brereton: “No” Shoebridge “This exchange proves the problem...”🔥 Yup, big problem. #auspol

Trump says "everything checked out perfectly" at his Walter Reed medical exam today. But to the rest of us, it's increasingly obvious that he's become dangerously mentally unstable.

If not yet, there will be for sure.

I try to stay as professional as possible on here, but the recent spate of tweets I've seen on Twitter / X bemoaning that 'things just haven't been the same since 2020' or similar and then utterly ignoring the ongoing impact of SARS-CoV-2 infuriates me. Denial and ignorance in equal measure.

What if it’s possible people recognise that when democracy is dysfunctional, the economy is also dysfunctional and could tip over at any Trump whim. Fuel prices exploding from an unnecessary war is just one example of how they’re right to be constantly stressed. There is a deranged person in charge.

Hey Aus, in the March quarter and just in battery storage alone, we installed the equivalent of a coal-fired power station into our homes! #AusPol

I've now read the essay by Baldur Bjarnason quoted in this piece, and it's fascinating. It examines the collapse of US global dominance, accelerated by the Iran debacle, and the consequences for tech behemoths. Highly recommended! www.baldurbjarnason.com/2026/the-old...
