RFK Jr. released a video to the Minamata Convention on Mercury where he lied about vaccines.

He said “no amount of mercury should ever be injected into a child” & urged a global ban on thimerosal-containing vaccines.

Good thing: no child IS injected with mercury.

He'll make mistakes and be imperfect but when it's sabotage, name it loudly. Don't let people forget who is really screwing them. The robber barons can't abide hope. So hope. Remember what tonight feels like and keep it alight. Keep showing up when they screw with buses and zoning. Hold the line.

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day.

Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...
Energy retailers to be directed to offer free power three hours a day
Saying there is enough solar power for everyone in the daytime, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will direct retailers to provide three hours of free power every day to consumers.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Where are we on climate action?

The bottom black line is countries that submitted new commitments (on time), the dotted line is global emissions. Blue shading are the commitments.

That is the progress 10 years after Paris...

“a flavour of some of the things that we could, but aren’t, talking about thanks largely to the priorities of the British press, or if you prefer, due to a maddening failure of communication by No 10.”

Labour’s ever present communication failure. Get a grip ffs!!

Waymo robots sometimes loiter. They also use bus stops for pickup & drop off contributing to several crashes as buses try to get around them.

Generally, robots struggle w large vehicles and seem not to understand them. Recent Waymo-bus crashes are discussed in this thread.

bsky.app/profile/anic...
Waymo appears to have an uncrewed robot crashing w bus problem:

11 crashes in last 3 months of NHTSA reporting, 6/16 - 9/15
9 w passengers, 7 of which had PAX not belted
8 in SF, 3 in LA
8 robots towed
All w robot at 0 mph

Maybe regulators, journalists, transit/robotics experts should investigate.

“Generative AI is nothing more than a form of social suicide that must be reined in before it’s too late. It cannot be allowed to reach the level of proliferation that social media has achieved”
The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.

But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.
Generative AI is a societal disaster
Governments are deluding themselves into believing investment justifies allowing AI to upend society
