There's good reason why the oil and gas industry lobbies so hard for carbon capture - because it's the one 'climate solution' that wouldn't necessarily require shutting down the oil and gas industry

But it doesn't work. They need to be shut down

📢 🚨New Report - How the UK oil and gas industry spent 15 years pushing for subsidies & incentives for Carbon Capture and Storage rather than regulatory accountability or science-based emissions reductions; maintaining a funding pipeline for a technology yet to deliver on its promises 👇

Smashed by strong winds all night in the camper trailer at Katoomba. Not much damage. Not much sleep either.

Seeing lots of posts from Americans complaining that authoritarianism has never been this bad by the government.
Bullshit!
The US government has always been the same, it’s just normally been citizens of other countries that pay the price. What you’re seeing is how your troops act in other places.

So, lemme get this straight. Trump is waging war on America because ya'll voted for Biden in 2019. And the evangelicals are waging war on America because the belief in zombie boy and his imaginary sky daddy is falling out of vogue with educated people? Do I have this right?

“Free speech is an inalienable right.”

Unless you want to protest genocide, refer to someone with their correct pronouns, criticise someone for being a bigot, boycott an organisation for their human rights abuses, etc. Then politicians aggressively try to regulate and police speech. It’s perverse.

We need to make that at least one Trump lacky says "so much for the tolerant left!" during their future sentencings. So future generations can laugh about it.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.
