Note that Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are doing _exactly_ what Trump falsely accuses George Soros of doing. They fund and finance the operations of terrorist groups in the UK and Germany among other countries. Soros is strictly involved in bona fide philanthropy. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

A new study published in Nature Climate Action finds Woodside’s Scarborough gas project could cause 100s of heat-related deaths & exposed 500k people to unprecedented heat.

Govt can’t claim climate leadership while approving projects like this.

Forrest-backed study links Woodside mega-project to hundreds of deaths

The research, conducted by academics at ANU, suggests the massive offshore gas project off the coast of Western Australia will cause warming of 0.00039 degrees.

i loved that it clearly spelled out what their motivation always was, and it was exactly what i’d thought

in many ways— the spirit of dada!

hadn’t realised the kent state shootings played such a big part

had always wondered how they ended up with charming english gent brian eno as a producer, too

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

The bbc focussing on what the ceasefire means for the hostages way more than what it means for Gazans, again seeing that disproportionately we’ve become accustomed to for years, this isn’t new, and it’s certainly not ok

why? no-one has got a greater mandate in living memory. why be such utterly feckless milquetoasts?

they need to look at what the similarly cowardly starmer is doing to british labour and what that has meant for fascism’s chances over there

(also the UK greens, on a more positive note)
