There's a 78% tax on gas profits in Norway, and they're doing just fine. But I guess their political leaders aren't captured by oligarchs ... 🙄

Jewish trauma is real.
The Holocaust was real.
Antisemitism is real.
And none of that makes the genocide of the Palestinians and Lebanese any less real.

Even if you are not a fan of Meta, there is a fabulous Australian Facebook group called “My Efficient Electric Home” (MEEH). It has lots of great advice to search through, and often recommendations for local companies. There will be heaps of discussions there about air conditioners.
Looks like Albo joined via his phone!
more than 70% of incarcerated children and young people in NSW are presumptively innocent (locked up “on remand”). More than half of all incarcerated children, on any given night, in every jurisdiction, are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

I take my CO2 monitor to work with me too. I wish people understood what a difference fresh air makes. Massive.
Sadly my workplace has fixed (closed) windows in most areas, but it does have filters. I’m educating my colleagues bit by bit - they get a bit grossed out when the numbers are high.

Australian TV show “Utopia” is “Set inside the (fictional) offices of the ‘Nation Building Authority’, a newly created government organization responsible for overseeing major infrastructure projects”.
It’s both very funny and completely excruciating.

Analysis by The Australia Institute found Australia could have funded free childcare and university if a 25% gas export tax had been introduced after LNG prices surged following Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Sutskever would later sit down with New York Times reporter Cade Metz for his book Genius Makers, which recounts a narrative history of AI development, and say without a hint of satire, "I think that it's fairly likely that it will not take too long of a time for the entire surface of the Earth to become covered with data centers and power stations." There would be "a tsunami of computing. almost likea natural phenomenon." AGI-and thus the data centers needed to support them-would be "too useful not to exist”

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
It’s Easter and the US President chose to share this, an unhinged and expletive ridden rant threatening war crimes against the Iranian people. Australians want no part in this and they expect our government to clearly oppose it and organise to prevent it.
Melbourne institution!
