Same here in Australia. But any digital story about climate change will be swamped with comments about wokeness and "it was always this hot/wet when I was a kid". Meanwhile, the same people bitterly lament the massive rise in their home insurance premiums, and completely fail to make the connection.

„We need to be paying more attention – all of us, not just those who have been victimised by predators – to the systems that allow this to happen. To the misogyny that runs like an underground river through our culture. To the fetishisation and sexualisation of young girls.“

One of my ongoing issues with people describing men who commit heinous acts as “monsters” or saying “those aren’t real men” is that it successfully otherises the problem instead of acknowledging the issue that is male violence. The only reason we do this is to protect men’s feelings.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

England's water companies have 1,200 criminal convictions.
They lose a trillion litres of water to leaky pipes. Dump sewage in rivers for 4m hours. Customers fleeced.
None has its licence revoked. No exec prosecuted. Corporate fines are not collected
Whatever happened to democracy, rule of law?

Public ownership of water is the only way to deliver security, efficiency, investment and value for money

When a song hits #1 on Apple Music in 19 countries you can’t deny the evidence. The world is paying attention. Springsteen wrote this song a week ago, recorded it and released it days later. He witnessed the execution of Pretti and immediately knew his mission. Well done, good and faithful servant.
