Probably just a coincidence that the list of Australia's new fossil fuel projects will come out on the Friday before Xmas.

If the Albanese Government listened to our civil society they way they listen to FM radio hosts, News Corp and whichever stupid American cunt is waving his book around this week maybe we'd have a serious government with a mature attitude to reform. We do not.

Not sneering at Aaron Rupar here, but for reals a lot of yanks are waking up to what we already knew about their country. You've never been as loved as you thought you were.
I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

I've just realised that RP British speakers can't pronounce 'oral', they make it sound like 'aural', which in a lot of contexts is terribly confusing.

Does anyone outside the USA have any idea why "Presidential Centres/libraries" exist?
Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. obama.org/presidential-center

Yep. Historic case. One of the first times a community poisoned by a US oil corp was able to actually take their assailant to court. And they won!

Chevron responded with dirty tricks including getting the attorney Steven Donziger jailed under false pretense. Some backstory from @amazonwatch.org.

In the near future there will be people who get their jollies from 'tormenting' robots and AI, and there will be people who think this is morally injurious and there probably should be laws against it.

Both sets are fucked in the head, but the second type far more so.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

China now dominates in every technology defining the modern world
China used to be trying to catch the West, specifically the US. Then it caught up. Now the West is trying to catch up to China, but likely can't.

I like buying presents for preschoolers because they still have no opinion what is or isn't 'cool'.

They’re not hiding the brutality anymore.
They want you to see it.
They want you to get used to it.👇

As an Australian I have great admiration for the English cricket press. Only three weeks ago they were going to win 5-0, now they're tearing the team to shreds. #ashes

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

It really is the 1% versus the rest of us. The stakes couldn't be higher. And the enemy could not be more depraved. Still, we'll win.
