It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality

JLR owner Tata is considering letting the J go (Jaguars you’re not a bore like me) from the porfolio. Geely - who has form for Doing Good Things with moribund brands - is in the frame to buy.

Can Jaguar Land Rover Afford to Keep Jaguar, or Is It Time to Sell?
We see some potential buyers for the struggling British marque that make sense.

The Australian government claims it will meet its 2030 emissions target almost entirely due to an assumption that it will meet its renewable energy target.
This is an input to the projection, not an output.
It's honestly very hard to see how this will happen.

Gone are the days of Scott Morrison simply lying about whether Australia is on track to meet its emissions targets, but burying this assumption under the hood of your claim that we are on track - using existing policy measures alone - is the same damn thing.
We should urgently change how we generate electricity in Australia, but the government's claim to be on track to meeting its 2030 target is based on coal and gas generation permanently dropping to a third of current levels this decade.
They do not have the policies in place to make this happen.

I've cracked the case. The people who installed the windows in our house also installed them in the homes of high-ranking Russian officials, military and people the government doesn't like.
So not at all sinister, just an incredible coincidence.

I often wonder how a shop would go on NSW trains like the Blue Mountains ones. Pre-orders for breakfast and coffee so you can sleep some more at home? Pick up dinner on the way home from the same thing, like they have on the TGV in France? Even the smaller ones on Swedish trains?

So Labor and the Liberals teamed up to pass legislation to give police the power to recommend cancellation of Centrelink payments of people who have not been found guilty of a crime by a court of law. It’s discriminatory financial punishment of people in poverty who are already over-policed
