Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

This is horrendous and the Scottish and Westminster Governments should take it as further evidence of why they should leave 𝕏 but minor correction: these "AI" tools are supposed to be software products that make money for private companies. That is what they are designed to do, nothing more.
I've just been called a "rape enabler" by the X AI tool Grok. This is a shocking allegation which has totally taken me aback & beyond anything I've ever encountered in normal political discourse. These AI tools are supposed to be there to serve us honestly with facts. Disturbing.

Seeing Jack DeJohnette’s name on an album pretty much guaranteed it was worth listening to. I can’t recall any instance in his long and distinguished recording career in which he put ego ahead of the music. What a legacy he leaves behind.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.
