This cannot happen. Most animals and insects are nocturnal. We’ve already lost >70% of insect biomass in last 30 years. They’re a foundational creature for life on this planet!

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

A Tesla executive is leading Australia’s R&D review. That’s not OK. Public roles should serve the people – not billionaires. Add your name to demand Denholm’s resignation and new integrity laws: getup.to/QZAN3eS779SW...

Billionaire Hands off Public Policy!

Tesla's chair is in charge of our tech future - but it should be us shaping policy

«The issue is not one of merely one of gender but of values. True feminist art embodies a value system based on the opportunity for empowerment for everyone, rather than the notion of striving for power over others, which is the patriarchal paradigm.»

Because our country has been cheated for too long, we will be imposing a 30% tariff on electric countertop hot dog rollers, starting tomorrow. In addition, we will impose a 75% tariff on dietary supplements and battery-powered self-stirring mugs. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
