A bit inconvenient for potential alien life forms if they’re constantly being incinerated by their own suns
For the first time, astronomers have detected a coronal mass ejection from a star other than our Sun, and it was a big one – powerful enough to strip the atmosphere from nearby planets. That's bad news for the search for extraterrestrial life. Here's why: physicsworld.com/a/astronomer... 🧪⚛️🔭

Australia right now needs a Whitlamesque firebrand politician of the left to put some distance between ourselves and a failed American state intent on dragging us into a war with our biggest trading partner. Enough with Albo’s Murdoch-appeasing, small target consensus. The man is an empty suit.

Gov said social media ban would only affect 16 yr olds. But most Aussies are being asked to perform age verification and some platforms have also restricted the comms of 16-18 year olds. The social media ban has a chilling censorious affect beyond the ban and imposes a blanket of mass surveillance

Were I in a govt that really cared about kids, I’d be banning new coal and gas mines with rather more fervour than the current ban on social media.

The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record.
Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997?
That is more than 0.5C ago.

It purports that someone tried to charge $143.95 to my account and wants me to log-in with my password.
A quick Google search revealed that "$143.95" has been charged to THOUSANDS of Apple accounts.
