ICYMI- yesterday's #Mamdani #USpol cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com (may contain relevance to UK and Aus pol as well)

Kudos to @mattbevan.bsky.social for making a good fist of examining the caveats to power/water usage claims associated with AI use. Is this the new carbon footprint?

Mamdani’s win is a warning for media: Better get some leftist contributors or you simply won’t be able to cover/understand what is happening around America.

Can journalists stop labelling politicians like Hastie, Joyce, Canavan, and Antic as "conservative". They are the opposite: radical right misogynist ideologues following American christo-fascist campaigning to strip women [and anyone else who isn't a straight white man] of their rights. #auspol

I will never understand why the Australian media, especially the ABC, keep calling the new mayor of New York a radical leftist whilst referring to the far right weirdos in both America and Australia as merely “conservatives’.

The National Party of Australia dumped its Net Zero policy as Australia is moving too fast, & faster than its peers in the OECD. Well, fossil CO2 emissions in the last 10 years have gone down * -0.5% per year in Australia * -1.4% per year in the OECD Australia is somewhat of a laggard...

For some residents of Tasmania's east coast, it's either leave the region or risk being homeless as they grapple with a scarcity in long-term rentals.

This is so, so grim. Data obtained by the Guardian reveals that, soon after arriving in the UK and while in the care of authorities, 345 lone children disappeared from a single county council area. 56 are still missing. Many are thought to have been taken by traffickers

We really need to have this debate in Australia too

Grog's rule of privatisation: "The day you decide to allow the private sector deliver a public service is also the day you should set the future date for the Royal Commission into abuses in the system."

In 2020, Australia massively increased welfare payments and conducted a live experiment in ending poverty, but when the subsidy was removed, many were thrown back into hardship. Leaving aside the moral dimension, would it be cheaper to end poverty than to maintain it?

🚨The "No" campaign against the Indigenous Voice was a fossil fuels-led sham. A major ARC study finds "Advance" a was massive spreader of fossil fuels propaganda ahead of the May federal election. One of biggest impediments to fossil fuels = Indigenous rights. theklaxon.com.au/9w0g

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide. The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

It was a primary force behind Australia’s inflationary surge, it’s forced businesses either to the wall or to shift offshore, undermined national industry policy and resulted in the loss of countless thousands of jobs. And it all hinged on one disastrous decision in an Adelaide boardroom.

After coming out, Mitch Brown became an unofficial spokesperson for queer issues in the AFL. While that experience has been overwhelmingly positive, it's also come with an onslaught of hate.

Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

When people from Yemen to Spain, from Morocco to Australia unite in their demand for justice, it shows something really powerful – governments may be more divided on this issue than the very citizens who fund and sustain them. That really matters. #auspol #activism #Palestineprotests

Pt2🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "Global Samud Flotilla are not heroes. Our mistreatment by Israel is not the story. We need more than humanitarian aid to Gaza, we need to stop the decades-long siege. The violence of 'business as usual.' Genocides fueled by our own governments."

Our mega rich are inflaming selves & their tools to make us hate each other. They depict anyone not in their chosen identity (“Christian” “White” rightwing) as a subversive, violent Other.

My latest article in The Shot "The largest contributors to the breakdown of social cohesion in Australia are the governments of Australia, practising a privileged fuck-you version of democracy that makes its own rules & caters for those within the club" #pffft theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

There's not a single Australian @albomp.bsky.social would protect from Israel, is there? Nothing about Zomi. Nothing at all about the flotilla, or the doctors serving in Gaza. Just gravely concerned inc. and some mumbly centrist trite about a two state solution. This should terrify us all
