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

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.

Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

Goes back to the argument I made in the Guardian earlier this year that the world is in danger because the techbros have completely misunderstood a bunch of sci-fi and fantasy...

If she’s in hiding in Venezuela then she may send someone to pick it up for her, and the obvious choice is the man she has dedicated the award to. So I think there’s now a decent chance Trump gets to have his Nobel Peace Prize moment. Maybe that was the idea!

Quite a remarkable lie to tell to a roomful of generals, a significant number of whom will have seen active service in Afghanistan.
Trump: "Washington DC was the most unsafe, most dangerous city in the US and to a large extent, beyond. You go to Afghanistan, they didn't have anything like that."

‘If slavery were invented today, would (Labour ministers) call it ‘impractical’?

If torture were invented today, would they call it ‘ineffective’?

If child labour were invented today, would they call it ‘poor value for money’?’

Once again for everyone in the back:

The appropriate response to fascist or fascist-adjacent policy is not “that’s unworkable and here’s why it won’t work”.

It’s “that’s monstrous and here’s a strong statement of our values and vision”

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Still on the EHCR are we?

British politics is stuck in a post-Brexit doom loop, addicted to spectacle politics and unable to engage with its actual problems: the sclerotic post-GFC economy that has seen real wages stagnate and increasing inability of government to invest in public services.
