Several parts of Australia are likely to face the worst heatwaves since the 2019/2020 bushfires.
Volunteers and underpaid frontline workers will step up to help communities.
Meanwhile, in just one year, the Australian government gave $14.9 billion in subsidies to fossil fuel producers and users.

Generative AI is an engine for churning out contaminated information faster than people can produce safe information, let alone fact check and correct it.
And corrections never remove the original contamination, it's an attempt to stem the metaphorical bleeding and hope for the best. 11/

its crazy thinking about how every decade there's a made up sex panic where adults make up something like a rainbow party or sex bracelets to scare and titillate themselves and everyone puts it on the local news but the actual child sexual abuse material machine is fine

Hands off Venuzela means hands off Cuba, Columbia, Iran, Somalia, Palestine, Yemen, Nigeria, fuckin Greenland - if you let ONE nation become an exception you let them ALL become targets for US imperialist pillage & ruin.
Be angry & take it to a worthy space. Make them fear you as they should.

I don't know man I think the fact that a massive social media platform has a built in tool to take a picture of a child and put them in a bikini should be a society altering scandal especially in a society that has been repeatedly curtailing our civil liberties under the banner of "protecting kids"

Pro-ceasefire should be the default stance for the Australian government. Or indeed any government.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

At this point Australia needs to start re-evaluating the US deployments here as potential security threats
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:
-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
