Fossil fuels are doomed – and Trump can’t save them Yes, climate change is worsening and action is uneven. But the shift away from fossil fuels is beginning.

We know what to do to tackle the climate crisis: replace polluting fossil fuels with renewable energy technologies such as solar, wind and batteries.

Globally, the power produced by renewables overtook coal last year. We are well on our way.

How AI is draining Australia’s green power In 2019, a new venture in the Australian outback looked set to export our solar power to the world – upending our neighbours’ reliance on fossil fuels. Backed by the billionaires Mike Cannon-Brookes ...

Was lovely to chat with the 7am podcast team about why a huge clean export project flipped to powering data centres

It's all part of the bigger story of tech eating up the resources of climate action, diverted away from eliminating fossil fuels and towards fuelling a growth-obsessed hype industry.

I cannot be party to silencing writers, which is why I am resigning as director of Adelaide Writers’ Week | Louise Adler Cancelling the Australian Palestinian author Randa Abdel-Fattah weakens freedom of speech and is the harbinger of a less free nation

"The raison d’être of art and literature is to disrupt the status quo: and one doesn’t have to be a student of history to know that art in the service of 'social cohesion' is propaganda." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, told Victorians: “We’ve got your back”.”

This coming from the PM who approved the extension of Woodside’s North West Shelf project, which is expected to generate 4 billion tonnes of emissions over 50 years, further fuelling these fires.

that would actually be mildly interesting

wagering now that emerald fennell is going to use her overly romanticised & aestheticised "wuthering heights" to rug pull the audience and go "actually it's a story about ABUSE" 😤 then use that as justification for casting a white heathcliff

The Adelaide Writers Festival now wrecked by the Adelaide Festival Board, half of which was appointed late last year: a marketing executive; a former politician; a local councillor/real estate agent; an airport manager; a lawyer; a media consultant; and a banker. Another public arts takeover fiasco.

why is it 'the ones who walk away from omelas' and not 'the ones who stage a heist and bust that kid out'

Victoria's draconian new anti-protest laws will have a chilling effect on free speech — and won't keep anyone safe Far-reaching anti-protest measures and giving police more repressive powers only serve to increase the risk of escalating violence.

Opinion | The Victorian government is using the horrific East Melbourne synagogue attack as a veil to bring in draconian new anti-protest laws. They will only result in more division and violence, @sarahschwartz.bsky.social writes.

I’ve made the post-9/11 comparison before, but there really is a growing, and depressing, familiarity with how the media and politicians are treating this current moment and the War on Terror era. It shows how nothing structurally has shifted in the past 20 years re policing Arabs and Muslims.

Cameron Stewart is the deputy chair of the Walkleys judging board. The treatment of News Corp as a “normal” actor by the rest of the Australian media makes them all pretty culpable for their racism, genocide apologism general corrosiveness.

Hilarious this person influences “prestigious” awards.

For the newbies, one of the great features on here is that when someone has tried to quote-post dunk on you, hit the … and select “detach quote” and nobody will see the post or who wrote it and they will look like an asshole. (Blocking works like this too.)
