Worth revisiting this @desmog.com @stellalevantesi.bsky.social piece from a few years' back analysing how fossil fuel companies sold gas as an "energy security" solution
Now Europe is being threatened by America: the country it turned to for 'secure' gas supply

Q: Did you invite Putin to be on the Board of Peace?
TRUMP: Yeah. He's been invited
Q: Thoughts on Macron saying he won't join?
TRUMP: Did he say that? Nobody wants him bc he's going to be out of office very soon. If they feel hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines & champagnes & he'll join

It's just more media bollocks - pursuing clickbait stories, to promote clickbait activities, regardless of the outcome, and then inevitably, if/when that outcome goes very poorly, blaming one or more of those involved... but never, ever mentioning their own shrill, persistent stoking of the fire.

If Keir Starmer has disappeared up Trump's arse,
he'll find that Anthony Albanese crawled up there first.
Notable that British journalists are at least trying to do what Australian mainstream hacks rarely do:
challenge their PM about the US 'relationship'. #auspol

Politicians (certain politicians) aside, when are we going to jettison the now nonsensical nostalgia of journalists as a worthwhile element of society?
Indeed, the aforementioned 'certain politicians' only have their perverted reach *because* of these same journalists.

Trump is trying to sell Palestinian sovereignty for $1 billion per seat while Palestinians are still being bombed and starved under the so-called “ceasefire.”
This isn’t diplomacy, it’s profiteering off genocide. Australia better not touch this with a 10-foot pole.

The largest spiders present are the very chill but formidable looking giant banded huntsmen. These spiders are tolerated by many Australians inside houses solely because of how well they can hunt large cockroaches. Our predatory version of the koala pretty much.

And sure, photographing bugs and spiders in a vegetable garden may not be as glamourous as jungle or swamp. But theres a great feeling that comes from a memory card of photos from a slow wander through a garden, that kinda capture its portrait through the faces that live there
