Dr Richard Denniss dismantles the gas industry’s favorite threat.
If taxes kill investment, why is the gas industry rushing to Norway to pay 78%? 🙄

Musk, Thiel, Karp, and other techno-fascists never tell their devotees that when they say "freedom," it means "my freedom."
In their ideal world, "free speech" would consist solely in being able to make agreeable variations on the oligarchs' propaganda.

Do you know anyone besides Disney and CVS that has a negative tax rate?
Next time you're checking out at CVS, do you tell the clerk that the taxes on their low paying job are paying for the check Uncle Sam is sending to their employer?

Donald Trump says that he’s Jesus. Some liberal critics disagree.
In my hyper conservative churches growing up, I was always warned about liberalism but never far right authoritarianism. I was always warned about socialism but never predatory capitalism. I was always warned about feminism but never misogyny. I was always warned about homosexuality but never about abuse in the church. I was always warned about Islamic extremists, but never Christian nationalism. Imagine what American Christianity would look like today if it had focused on its own sins.
Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.
No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed.

I was inspired to fix his ridiculous meme. What if he's resurrected the snake?
I often get complaints when I address political issues. People want me to stick to the spiritual realm.
Impossible. Because love is political. Because religion is political.
Because what is true must apply to all of life.
LLMs and AI are one area where reality is suddenly blowing past the pace of a lot of science fiction
Most of Spike Jonze's Her is now old news when it seemed like fantasy in science fiction clothing when it came out
You have to admire the honesty of stealing the style of a cult (Jehovah's Witnesses if memory serves) when he portrayed himself as Jesus.
It's as if someone told him about the Roman declaring emperor a god and building them a religion.
If you can't the Pope find, declare you outrank him.
I like palette in a film so this knocked my rainbow socks off. A cute feel good romcom with deep saturation & fun setting. 🇬🇧 Props to props & sets, costume, actors, writers, director, but most especially to this genius colorbath. 🌈

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal.
Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November.
It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

gotta love the picture that goes with this article. the only question? by assault course do they mean a course with obstacles or one with a dude in that shirt
the overall health of the news industry has gotten so bad that the New York Times is running ads on their podcasts encouraging people to subscribe to any newspaper, even if it isn't them.
Zarah Sultana: "Glad Keir Starmer's Labour government is prioritising stopping musicians from performing. "Wouldn't want them distracted from their complicity in Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people and an illegal war on Iran. "What a pathetic excuse of a Prime Minister.
If your commitment to the Palestinian cause extends to somehow taking issue with the government for banning a man who repeatedly said "I am a Nazi", released a song last year called "Heil Hitler", and sold swastika merchandise...maybe it's time to rethink your life choices.
Your article linking the decreasing birthrate with our housing crisis was infuriating to anyone familiar with the escalating global ecosystems collapse (Want to boost the UK’s birthrate? Fix the housing crisis, research suggests, 1 April). Recent research funded by Population Matters confirms that a sustainable global human population would be 2.5 billion. The Earth Overshoot website reveals that Britain is overpopulated by nearly 50 million. Growth economics, wealth inequality, patriarchy, colonialism, military supremacy, nationalism and pronatalism are all unwise behaviour patterns in global ecosystems collapse. These can all be categorised as a “fluency” response from our limbic system. Our limbic response is the reason that these unwise behaviour patterns persist; they bypass our critical thinking. There are wiser social paradigms trying to emerge to replace the ecocidal norms of the past. Eco-aware family planning and economic degrowth are two of the emergent paradigms. Until we can talk honestly about population overshoot, the conversation will always degenerate into racist discussions about immigration.
Absolute platonic ideal of a Guardian letter. 10/10.
