"xAI, which uses freshwater from the Memphis Sand Aquifer to cool its data centers and accompanying power plants, had originally committed to building the water-reuse facility in 2024. But after nearly two years, Musk posted on X this month that the project would be paused indefinitely..."
I thought this point Eric made about how libraries are early introductions to a social contract was really interesting, too:
Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.
She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.
The shed housing plan is the ultimate example of the governing Irish political ideology that everything must be set up for someone to make money from it.
Here's a national crisis being converted into an opportunity for people who're unaffected by it to screw money out of those who are.
A new low.
Once official photos are developed or whatever happens these days I’ll do a teary thank you celebration post, but the short of it - Level Up was the best.
But what if you want to funnel a load of money to hoteliers
Doris Lessing: “A public library is the most democratic thing in the world. What can be found there has undone dictators and tyrants.”
Headline from the AFR "Time to end welfare for the wealthy, says big business"
You mean the superannuation tax breaks? No?
You mean the CGT discount? No?
You mean the fossil fuel subsidies? No?
You mean the free gas for multinationals? No?
You mean the failure of the PRRT? No?
You mean the tax dodging trusts? No?
You mean the lack of a wealth tax? No?
No you mean the NDIS FFS
Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote.
Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California.

And she was right
Protip:
Most gas stations are mom-and-pops.
*Refineries* are your real targets.
This is rather shocking. But yes - Japan has a gas import tax

Reparations should be pretty straightforward then especially with USA, Australia, Germany and England pitching in.
That amount isn't going to get smaller over time though, so all the guilty nations should think about when they'd like to face justice.
Certain *families* should ponder this too.
"In the video taken of the quadruple tap on Wednesday, the frame was frozen on the interior of the ambulances, as the Nabatieh emergency services highlighted that the vehicle clearly contained no weapons."
Oh cool, Indonesia has agreed to supply fertiliser to Australian farmers. Thanks, world's largest Mulslim nation!

Pay attention folks. This is how it's done. Trump sues his own DOJ, run by his private attorney, for $10 billion. Normally that would go through the courts with the DOJ arguing AGAINST giving Trump $10 billion.
Instead, his DOJ will negotiate a settlement OUTSIDE of court. Literally inside dealing.
Honestly, the idea that the market that has utterly pummeled the environment is now going to magically be its saviour, is equal parts idiotic and insulting.
Many governments, including Australia, can and should massively increase environmental and conservation spending, it's an *investment*.
Haven't addressed it in my piece (should hv) but it's bizarre that we never consider the moral cost - to our ourselves and our principles - of just ignoring crimes against humanity.
Human rights aren't a thing?
International law doesn't matter anymore? Might is right?
As if it won't come back on us.
Nothing but support them obvs.
For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.
This is a real low point for Australian govt hysteria rn. The butt-kissing gutlessness is sickening. 🤮
People keep debating whether Epstein is more tied to Russia or Israel without understanding it's the same people: dual Russia/Israeli citizens involved in organized crime. The modern roots of this operation, going back to the 1980s, are detailed in the excerpt from HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT below.
