"Vietnam has been hit by 14 typhoons this year. Five was the average a few decades ago. The rain from the past few days did not even come from a cyclone — but to add inundation on top of injury, a 15th major storm has just formed off the country’s south central coast."

NDIS Bill No.2 ("Integrity and Safeguarding") will be tabled in the Senate tomorrow.
What isn't in it will be as telling as what is.
How much more power will the NDIA be granted before we get essential powers to hold them accountable to basic tenets like procedural fairness?

Friendly reminder that “NDIS integrity” is a false promise until participants can dispute Section 46 determinations that they have misused funds.
No government acting in good faith should fear scrutiny of whether NDIS debts are both lawfully and fairly raised.

Translation: No body indict us, please please please! 🙏
The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.
DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says
The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.

Most people hear “heat pump” and think of small air-source units at home. But Germany is building one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Mannheim: a 162 MW river-source system using heat from the Rhine.
Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.

What I know for sure is if registered NDIS providers succeed in getting higher rates for complex care, they won’t pass the profit on to the workers who provide the care or use it to ensure better quality of care for clients
this interview, and the subsequent reporting around it, was absolutely infuriating. any other sector's big business lobby wouldn't get this kind of uncritical, uninformed, wildly inaccurate coverage, yet disabled peoples' essential services do [little 🧵]
