HEY FRIENDS!! Did you know that Australia - #2 in the world for data centre investment - is now formally missing its climate targets thanks in large part to the resulting surge in power demand?

It's massive news - @crikey.com.au let me NERD OUT to explain why:

Just so I understand right, fascist MAGA republicans are falsely investigating American hero and Senator Mark Kelly simply for warning troops about following unconstitutional illegal orders whilst drunkard rapist Fox propagandist Pete Hegseth is actually issuing illegal orders.

Here’s the answer to where nuclear waste from reopened Three Mile Island will go. Are you onto this Albo? This is more important to us than your upcoming wedding.
This from Sen. David Shoebridge:

'AUKUS submarines create nuclear waste-and they want to dump it on this Arrente land near - Alice Springs. The same US companies running Pine Gap want to turn this ancient salt lake into a global nuclear dump.'

“Network” premieres today in ‘76

“.. we thought we were making a satire,” said Lumet. “But the extraordinary and frightening thing is how quickly it stopped being satire .. When the truth becomes entertainment, when rage becomes a commodity, the culture begins to eat itself.”

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

This is why we are never going to 'get through' to friends and family about COVID danger. The problem is that either we are anxious and irrationally afraid to live a normal life - or they are willing to sacrifice the health of their children / grandchildren to avoid facing reality

It’s quite the tell when family members of Trump’s appointees hate their guts
Stephen Miller’s uncle claims that he himself is a product of chain migration. He expresses dismay and increasing horror as he observes his nephew, an educated man who is well aware of his heritage, becoming the architect of immigration policies that contradict his family’s history in this country.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

What future can there be for the children of today, growing up in a world filled with uncontrolled Covid-19? The harsh truth is that many children, having been subject to repeated infections, are destined for an unhappy fate of serious illness and early mortality.

Oooo

That tiny uptick in flu I saw a few weeks ago… it hasn’t gone down.

It’s grown.

This is Australia. We aren’t expecting our next flu wave for months.

Cause?
