"Things go better with Coke" :)

Volvo electric semi scores another real-world win with Coca-Cola Pepsi may grab headlines with their Tesla tie-in, but arch rival Coca-Cola is quietly building an electric semi truck fleet of its own.

So China & Tesla don’t steal all the headlines, Volvo Trucks (Volvo Group) quietly put 5,000+ electric trucks into real-world deployment, logging 100+ million zero-emission miles over the past five years.

Not under Geely. Not hype. This is happening. EV trucks are scaling everywhere, all at once.

Exclusive: University of Queensland scraps Indigenous children’s book, citing controversial anti-Semitism policy The University of Queensland has decided to pulp all 5,000 copies of a children’s picture book written by an Indigenous poet, after media queries from News Corp’s _The Australian_ newspaper that levelled accusations of anti-Semitism against the book’s illustrator. It’s a decision that also marks the first time a controversial definition of anti-Semitism, adopted by Australia’s universities last year, has been cited as the basis of a book cancellation. _Bila, a river cycle_ , was written by award-winning Wiradjuri poet Jazz Money and illustrated by Matt Chun. It’s an environmentally-focused book that tells the story of a river’s journey from mountain to sea and the people who pollute the waterways. Money and Chun began work on the book in 2022 and it was due for release this year. Jazz Money, the author of __Bila, a river cycle.__ In January this year, Dymocks announced that it was removing all of Chun’s books from its stores after he wrote an article titled “We don’t mourn fascists” in the aftermath of the Bondi terror attack. After the Dymocks announcement, _The Australian_ approached University of Queensland Press (UQP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the University of Queensland, to ask about _Bila._ The chair of UQP, Professor Heather Zwicker, told the newspaper that the publisher had, “put the proposed publication on hold pending the outcome of an internal review and external legal processes underway,” effectively suspending its publication. ### This post is for subscribers only Become a member to get access to all content Subscribe now

The book's author has described the decision to pulp all 5,000 copies of the book as reckless and disrespectful, and says it "sets a chilling standard".

I love this.

So, you've decided to write a terrible EV piece. An early column, because I'm away this Friday.

My head assploded and harsh words came out after reading the ABCs stupidest ever 730 report on EVs

Maybe fix it up in post...

REPUBLICANS: "We are going to gerrymander the shit out of the next election!"

DEMOCRATS: "OK, so we will gerrymander back to level the playing field."

REPUBLICANS: "Whaaaaaa! Whaaaaaa! Not fair!!!!! You are beating us at our own game. So sneaky!"

MAGA is big mad about the redistricting referendum in Virginia passing.

Love this for them.

🍿

most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters

these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators

Canberra Times newspaper headline that reads Sweeping changes to NDIS will save $15 billion a year, Mark Butler says

Labor wouldn't need to make any changes to the NDIS if it implemented the proposed tax gas which is estimated to earn Australia $17 billion!

They'd even get a little bonus...

The Onion launches new bid to take over Alex Jones’ Infowars and turn it into a parody platform Satirical news site The Onion said it has reached an agreement to take over conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' InfoWars company.

The Onion won the IP known as InfoWars when it was auctioned off to pay the Sandy Hook families that Alex Jones TERRORIZED after their children were massacred. Alex Jones sued to stop the Onion from taking InfoWars. He lost. 🤣 The NEW InfoWars will be a Satire Site. 😂

every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Donald Trump and Republicans have tried to rig the 2026 midterms. Today in Virginia, voters sent them a clear message: The power is with the people.

“In Australia we don’t tax [the gas] industry. It’s foreign owned, and other people in the rest of the world are making a fortune out of Australia’s fossil fuel exports.

“And we’re the ones going ‘Gee, the air conditioning is a bit expensive’”.
