good bit from the Guardian review of Giuffre's memoir; I have heard several people from the NGO world express the confusion and embarrassment they felt at billionaires showing up with very young women at events.

Great @nickfeik.bsky.social comments here on how some elements of Australian media centres the political messaging on climate and tends to downplay the science (whereas climate and environment reporters do a good job focusing on science, tech, society)

How Albanese killed the climate wars
Anthony Albanese was first elected on a pledge to fix the climate wars.
The most recent test of that promise was the emissions targets he announced on the world stage.
But if the targets themselves ...

Separate from my occasional tepid defense of buyouts, the EA deal doesn't make sense: it's mature company growing at like 5% with really fat margins already and it only does like $2-ish billion in cashflow. If you load it up with $20 billion of debt at 7.5% you've vaporized all your profits already.
Buying a company by taking out a massive loan, then making the company you bought responsible for paying off that loan, is so patently evil that it should be beyond illegal. The kind of thing that inspires enlightened societies without corporal punishment to bring back the death penalty as a one-off

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
