EVERY SINGLE FOSSIL FUEL IS MORE EXPENSIVE IN THE TRUMP-PLEASING HIGH-FOSSIL-FUEL SCENARIO
I wish I'd had the time to read this whole report properly earlier this week: the scale of this rake-step / self-own is absolutely incredible

For the insomniac Americans around right now: is this really true about the crutches? I didn't even think underarm crutches were still made, unless you're staging an adaptation of A Christmas Carol and you need props for Tiny Tim.

AFLW crowds up 6% vs last year for primary city games.
GWS is missing the last Henson crowd.
The SA and WA movements are down to who hosted derby (Crows and Freo this year).
Note that my simple average of the 18 teams' averages over-weights teams who send home games elsewhere.

Extraordinary violence unfolding in Darfur
What is unfolding in Sudan, where the armed group RSF has taken control of the key city of El Fasher, is "the sum of all our fears," says human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond. "RSF is killing at a scale and a velocity that I haven’t seen since Rwanda."
Mass Killings Reported in Sudan as RSF Seizes El Fasher; 460 Killed at Hospital
Sudan’s military is accusing the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces of killing at least 2,000 people since seizing control of El Fasher in the Darfur region, including some 460 at the Saudi Maternity H...

"a band, Joy Division, whose origins are steeped in antisemitism" Clueless dilettantism. Calling a suicide victim who voted for Thatcher an anti-semite. Dumb and trash politics. I move that the member be no further heard.

You really do wonder about the people who were taken in by this guy in the 90s. It's so transparent.

People seem upset but I think shutting down the United States sounds like a pretty good idea given what it's been up to. What are we replacing it with?

It is the same social phenomenon as "people who write for the Express read the Guardian". Everyone wants cachet from the liberal intelligentsia. It's specifically bluesky users they want to be read by. Talking to the audience they get on Twitter is killing them.
