Albo's instinctive response to crisis is how do I survive this, and Dutton's is how do I weaponise this. Neither is leadership.

Not one American voted for the person who is laying waste to the federal government and hijacking the secure data of US citizens.

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it?

That's some fucking bullshit.

Keep in mind that most of the world's population didn't live through the last period of fascist dominance, most have little to no knowledge of it, and their primary sources of information are dedicated to misinforming them about it. That we are here 80 years later is hardly a coincidence of timing.

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:

the climate crisis is here, all around us

Regarding the backstop mechanism, does anyone know *how* the curtailment occurs? Is it constrained to zero (i.e. self-consumption of PV still permitted), or is it constrained to gross zero (i.e. switched off)? illustration below from Project Symphony. Help @glenne.bsky.social et al.

Labor: "Wait, what are you angry about today?"

NBN CEO: "They're leaving due to slow speeds from inferior speeds of FTTN. This could've been avoided if we did FTTP"

Labor: <glares at LNP>
