NEW ANALYSIS: My new article in @natenergy.nature.com argues Europe keeps responding to energy crises by changing supplier.
95% of EU oil and 88% of gas was imported in 2024.
The structural fix: reduce fossil fuel demand through electrification and efficiency.

Oh excellent work from the @greens.org.au Seems they are the only party who actually are prepared to set standards for corporate conduct. Fabulous to see 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

eg. the Stone of Orthanc, is one of Tolkien's Middle Earth far-seeing stones that, because they were all plugged into Sauron's evil, corrupted the user.

Thank you! Regulation of of private #human #services and #reform of #public #subsidies that prop up profiteering private competition for #public services in #health, #education and #aged care is now urgent. #auspol
We are noticing this all over TV. The policy of companies being unaccountable for #profits from #exports must stop NOW.
Disgraceful corporate conduct. Should be a #crime to refuse to disclose such things.
Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

BREAKING: Iran’s Ghalibaf:
The President of the United States made seven claims in one hour, all seven of which were false.
They did not win the war with these lies, and they will certainly not get anywhere in negotiations either.
The timing is absolutely horrendous. Backing #fossil fuels purchases with #public money,cutting #NDIS still no positive #policy to renew #foreign interference in #Defence, #Murdoch media, #universities, #human rights and #government consulting. We also need honest #ClimateActionNow & #tax reform.
ALP too scared to take on the gas industry that strips billions from our country each year; but not shy about kicking the crutches out from under hundreds of thousands of disabled Australians. So gutsy Albo.
Hugs. I think we need to really insist this reform actually has outcomes that meet human needs and there is a margin for negotiated solutions. #auspol
Serious policy mess due to years of inaction and failure to listen while things got worse.
A draft dodger is arresting war veterans for protesting his illegal war with Iran. Remember in November.
Okay, now I'm crying--a young Massachusetts native fell as he neared the finish line of the Boston Marathon. He tried to get up 3 times, falling back down to the pavement. One runner stopped and helped him to his feet, another joined, and he finished, arms over the shoulders of his two rescuers. 🥹💙
Netanyahu has murdered more children than all the American serial killers put together.
And people like Trump and Schumer defend him. To people like that killing tens of thousands of children means nothing.
A color, macrophoto of a Robin perched on a branch in Virginia, during late April, 2026. The capture was taken during rain and the photographer snapped the photo at the split second a raindrop fell on the top of the bird's head, making it appear like a "natural" crown. 📸 Dawn Denise Boyer of Gloucester, Virginia

Right in the middle of rain, the photo was captured the split second a droplet of water landed on the #Robins head like a crown! 👑

I made someone's day.
I told the grocery clerk that he's dying. That made her happy and she said the whole world would celebrate. We laughed and bonded.
I try to spread cheer in these trying times.
I won the jackpot: a rare Dugong (sea cow). They look a bit like Manatees but aren’t related. They are far relatives of Elephants and they are HUGE!
This 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 we are aware of….

Actually very relieved to hear from @markbutlermp.bsky.social that the ‘do nothing’ BAU position for unmonitored, unregulated and often fraudent or even #criminal #NDIS services is ending. Now let’s ensure the positive life outcomes are the key assessment. Then spend on early childhood intervention
Agree. It really shocks me that @channel9.bsky.social can legally run advertisements for ‘natural #gas’ as necessary for #hospitals. #auspol

It's wage-price spiral alert day!
I just submitted the form to have our gas meter removed after our last gas appliance - the ducted gas heating - was ripped out yesterday.
It remains to be seen if it is gonna be as simple as it seems, but apparently it's only going to cost us $85 to have the meter pulled out.
God bless Victoria. 🫡
Very informed. Thank you.
Uber are drunk on their own power. Government needs to kick them out of Australia all together if they can't be bothered to provide proper support and governance based on fairness, human engagement and paying attention.

Bridget McKenzie, who resigned in disgrace over Sports Rorts, tells Sunrise that the NDIS will only survive if we “stop the rorting.”
Extraordinary hypocrisy. From the same party that left the NDIS without fraud protections for a decade. #auspol
