If only they knew how angry we truly are
The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled.
We must require ALL data centers and other extremely large corporate users of electricity to generate their own electricity at their own expense If we don't do this, we are either idiots and/or masochists.
This is a joke, right? I spent a good year doing EV stories with The Guardian. Nine in ten cars in Norway are EVs. It's 2026 and we're being treated to stories that read like it's 2019 in a fossil fuel crisis. There is no mention of climate change. The reporter is impatient. That's all we get.
BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history.
The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply.
gorgeous...
It’s because of fake news the US got a fake president.
In a nutshell. 😊
If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

They elevate duty to care for sponsors and tv rights owners tho!
I think @albomp.bsky.social can take credit for the way it’s shepherding two big budget policies - cutting NDIS and changing negative gearing. It set out the problems months ago, and there’s been widespread acceptance. CF “The Voice” debacle. #auspol
Iranian officials warned that its oil exports cannot be restricted while “expecting free security for others,” through the Strait of Hormuz.
I want the names. Of every mane who visited the online ‘rape academy’. I want their next of kin. I want their place of work. I want their headshots on every billboard, I want them in the town square. Right where we can see them. I want them fearful. I want them second guessing every woman they know. I want them looking over their shoulders. Harried. Hurried. Nervous and afraid. I want their palms sweaty. Their breathing shallow. I want them to taste the fear that we have lived with for all out lives. I want them to wonder if their next step will be their last. Then, I’ll gently tell them that it’s not all women and we’ll see if that appeases them. If they sleep easier. If they can relax. Knowing that not all women want to drag a knife across their throat for what they’ve done. Only some. ~ salmaelwardany
A rare 6-foot bright orange nurse shark with white eyes was discovered and released off the coast of Costa Rica in August 2025, first documented sighting. The unique color is caused by a combination of two rare genetic conditions: xanthism (excessive yellow pigmentation) and partial albinism.
Our report on the 2nd snow gum summit, held in Jindabyne last month, is now finished.
I feel very proud that we hosted this important event.

Australian “values” under previous Govts mean demeaning vulnerable humans. The conservatives want to double down. ALP does nothing. We need more independents. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Because everyone is entitled to a fair trial, even those with no money.
Downed russian drone falls on Kharkiv a little earlier tonight. It was close to my place and freaking terrifying!
