Next time someone thinks nuclear energy is a good idea for Australia point out that not even the Coalition thinks their own policy is good, and are just using it as a political tool.

Nationals Senator Matt Canavan has admitted that the Coalition "is not serious" about nuclear.

He said that “nuclear is not going to cut it" and realises it's a bad policy, saying "we’re latching on to it as a silver bullet, as a panacea, because it fixes a political issue for us, that it’s low-emission and it’s reliable. But it ain’t the cheapest form of power.”

Peter Dutton's key election policy is to push for nuclear power - despite it taking 15+ years to build a reactor and it's forecast to be AT LEAST TWICE AS EXPENSIVE as renewable energy.

Canavan said the quiet part out loud: it's an attempt for the Coalition to PRETEND to care about climate change while finding an excuse to extend the life of coal-fired power stations instead of investing in cheaper renewables. Voting for Dutton's expensive nuclear plan is a vote to make climate change WORSE - and his own party knows it. Canavan said Dutton was lying about the risk of energy blackouts.

“We better hope we can power our energy system on prayers" said Canavan, demonstrating just how bleak and bad Dutton's policies are.

So remember this for next time you hear someone consider voting for the Coalition or arguing that nuclear is a viable option for Australia. It isn't. It's an expensive waste of time for short term political gain and you'd be an idiot to vote for a Coalition policy that not even the Coalition thinks is a good idea.

The idea of being asked to worship G-d, as someone who doesn't believe in G-d as a "figure" but more as the nature of the universe (to put it simply), is to be present in the moment, and see the inherent beauty in all things.

I originally had colored the wings a light yellow, but found this story about black birds, and thought it was fairly fitting for the theme of this piece!

you know funniest part of the hirohiko araki meets a fujoshi article is towards the end he seems to be slowly losing grip on reality and is desperately searching for something solid to cling onto and is like surely surely nobody is making yaoi about the seven samurai right thats a homoeroticism free place and the fujoshi is like :) no its easily yaoifiable in fact im yaoifying it as we speak and laughing at him and hes like oh ok... um the magnificent seven too??? and shes like oh well of course and then he makes the fatal error in his haste and fear trying to identify a yaoi free shore to lay down his anchor asks if slam dunk has yaoi about it and then she can really drive in the killing blow laughing and saying oh please everyone knows theres yaoi about slam dunk were u raised under a rock and he then asks in a really tiny small voice does this mean people ship real baseball players too and shes like oh well of course... truly a masterclass in slowly stripping away the veil before his eyes and awakening a man in denial to the vital yaoi cords linking all media the unspoken pulsing beating heart of storytelling

NYT has been discouraging reporters from sharing photos of luigi mangione - not due to concerns for his safety but to dissuade sympathy - and refuses to post his alleged manifesto in full. and today, they published an opinion by bret stephens about how brian thompson is the "real working class hero" of this story.

reddit deleted luigi's account, which was completely innocuous and consisted mostly of him giving out advice in health subreddits. they're also deleting any post that includes his alleged manifesto and banning users for sharing it.

luigi yelled that this was "an insult to the intelligence of the american people" while he was being dragged by police and news pundits are framing it as a deranged and violent outburst. news media are picking apart details of his life to paint him as a cold-blooded and mentally ill individual. even something as innocent as playing "among us" with friends is being framed as some insidious look into an assassin's disturbed psyche, ffs.

news media are also capitalizing on luigi's supposed "bizarre and impossible to understand" politics as an obvious way to paint him as a scary individual when the guy is... a centrist, at most. whose views are similar to those of your average college-educated white guy.

multiple news media also keep harping on about how luigi comes from a rich family. an obvious attempt to break the class solidarity that's been formed around this case by continuously trying to tell us "oh he's not like you guys" while ignoring the now pretty well-documented accounts of his multiple health struggles throughout the years.

and all this, and he hasn't even been found guilty of the crime he's allegedly committed. luigi is, as of right now, still innocent until proven guilty. and the news are trying to tear him apart because they obviously fear the symbol he's becoming for low and middle class america.

I'm just saying, "We created a computer to make decisions for us, but it assimilated all of the bias that was implicit in the dataset and now makes incredibly racist decisions that we don't question because computers are logical and don't make mistakes" literally sounds like a planet-of-the-week morality play on the original Star Trek.

'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now

All I want is to save our children from this famine, can you bear this cruelty ?

If your child was your sister or brother, would you let him die of pain ?

This is my daughter's meal these days, she is six years old, and because of the high prices we can't buy anything, the price of flour at this moment exceeds 200 dollars.

Remember that we are living in a tent in the winter now⛺⛺😔

As the winter draws closer and closer, please remind yourself that the people of Palestine will be enduring it in their tents while still under siege.

This is not a hole that will never be filled. It's a hole being filled slowly. Do not let your resolve be shaken, as your strength is both for you and for the Palestinian people relying on us.
