Rabbi Eli Schlanger is STILL being praised on the ABC News website.

A Global Witness report into AI chatbots pointed to Elon Musk’s Grok as the worst offender.

John Howard pushed for the invasion of Iraq, which was one of the dominoes which created the conditions for ISIS and caused untold human misery we are still dealing with today. He refused to acknowledge racism was a main driver of the Cronulla riots.

Pioneering Australia seaweed grower Sea Forest bought four tonnes of pure chemical bromoform - the chemical that limits methane in its products - during its early years. It won't say why.

I took at look at the company in this deeply reported story for @drilledmedia.bsky.social.
Selling Seaweed: An Australian Green Startup’s Secret Chemical Insurance Policy
Sea Forest embodied the promise of green capitalism: grow seaweed, solve climate, get rich. It appears the company was playing with a stacked deck.
