Throwing it all away With not much to say Piling up in the box Knowing it’s not Going where it belongs Just so wrong Pushing down the lid To be rid Of responsibility Hands are clean Passing it down the line Someone else’s crime youtu.be/Ri5GHgsQ74Y?...

Finally drew a stupid comic I have been making in my head over the past week after seeing one too many 'bogan moth' comments on social media lol

So Lula not only won, he basically doubled his margin of victory from 2022. I'm guessing he won thanks to voters who didn't love him, but were terrified to see Flavio given near-dictatorial power. It's going to be a messy next chapter for Brazil, but at least it'll be a fight, not a curb-stomping.

You are breathing air made by trees you never planted. Sustainability is just paying rent for being alive.

Climate disaster keeps disastering: Satellite monitoring has detected massive plumes of methane pouring from Chevron's Gorgon LNG plant in Western Australia. (This is the one connected to the world’s biggest carbon capture and storage project WHIICH IS ALSO FAILING) www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

A reminder that every progression made to create a fairer society has always been achieved through a fight by organised ordinary people against a hostile and resistant wealthy elite.

El Niño is everywhere in the headlines, but ultimately human-caused climate change is the key reason for the record global warmth. 📈 Curious about how these two climate stories relate? Learn more in our latest report: www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt...

Destroying the natural world to build unemployment-generating engines... insanity.

AI is automating hacking the same way it did fraud.

If I'd gotten my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome diagnosis earlier, I'd have done a lot less damage to my body learning martial arts. Knowing MATTERS.

I'm dying young (I'm almost certainly not going to see 40) because of health issues which can be pretty directly tied to that damage & subsequent complications of same.

"Throw an insult on the ground and the owner will pick it up"

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

I'm old enough to remember when Pauline Hanson was so offended at being lampooned by drag artist 'Pauline Pantsdown' that she took her application for an injunction against PP all the way to the High Court. Seems the admonishment to 'have a laugh' only goes one way.

One thing most people don’t know about disability is how unsafe you feel ALL the time. It’s terrifying not being able to trust your body to function properly. It’s scary to need to rely on others for basic survival. It’s frightening watching society label you expendable.

Shoutout to all the journalists who put in a ton of time and effort gathering documents and working sources only to have someone else rewrite their story months later and present it as new reporting

Also a huge lesson I've learned: even if you can't convince the person you're talking to - maybe you can if you're El-Sayed lol - even if you can't, there's almost always other people in the room who are listening. It pays to make your case to them.

Of course she did.

A thread on the AIF in Myanmar which will be very useful to many folks here who haven't been Aware of their existence.

This is a really good explainer about the mortality estimates around USAID. One big point is that dismantling USAID also dismantled one of the main sources of mortality data in some of these regions. Early indicators of mortality are very worrying.

Violence against women AND girls isn’t an issue just in America. This is a GLOBAL issue. A very prominent one. If we don’t include our sisters in this worldwide we dismiss what is happening to them.

Attn ‘yet to maybe’ voters of the US. I don’t know you. I don’t blame you. All I know is your president is inspiring losers in my country. So given I can not vote in yours can you please push past the whatever is stopping you and vote for me? Or go help someone else vote and do something+ at least.

Hey does anyone know if the person who stood up with the Primus shirt wants to meet the band? Can we make that happen? I know nothing other than the SP theme song and that woman’s bravery deserves a special one off concert or private or intimate small show even, if it’s her band, and she wants that?

We are excited to share that Cool Zone Media has been featured in the Webby Awards annual Podcast roundup, recognizing our team as one of the top performers in the podcast industry during last year’s competition! @coolzonemedia.bsky.social @iwriteok.bsky.social

In 3 months, 3 years, or 3 whatevers, there is more chance you will be bin diving for food rather than fine dining at the restaurant that only cost you every standard you lowered or passed by.

This is all disgusting. I've had people accuse me of using AI when I do shit like use an em-dash. I struggle to avoid yelling but HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES AND AT LEAST TWO BOOKS I WROTE have been scraped by OpenAI. I'm part of why your chatbots write the way they do. They're copying me.

One-sided de-escalation is not de-escalation.

Trust me: whatever you’re doing right now is less important than watching this candidate interview. No spoilers, just trust:

Two debating styles: 1. El-Sayed. Acts like a skilled boxer as he throws jabs early and often at his opponent until they are weakened and then opens it up. 2. Ossoff. Pulls the sink from the green room in the back and starts beating his opponent with it right away. Does not stop until its over.

40% of *everything being shipped everywhere on Earth* is fossil fuels Just an absolute laughing-stock clown-show of an energy source. This is laughably absurd, why do we treat this like it's normal and good Fossil fuels are a satirical fuel www.irena.org/-/media/File...

I've been trying to find a way to demonstrate that even if AI is fully 'green' or 'frugal' it's still rife with serious ethical and moral failures having my corporate accountability analyses machine-plagiarised by a company selling sustainable AI services has kind of done it for me

Digital specialists: Anyone able to actually measure, quantify or document a drop in pro-One Nation bot traffic and correlate it with the Ukrainian drone strikes on Russia's Yandex bot farm/data centres? Similar reports re: climate denial-fossil-fascists parties incl. AfD (Germany) and MAGA (US).

Yandex - Anyone got some coffee whitener? We seem to have run out. Zelenskyy - Nope but gave NIMBY a triple shot espresso

I am so deeply annoyed at the half hour I spent reading about the AI pain study. Also annoyed that writing about AI seems to more frequently contain writing I very much suspect was generated or edited by AI than other writing. Anyway, here's what that was:

Too many people judge the disabled for what we do to survive. The truth is you can’t fathom what it’s like to live in a body that’s betrayed you. To exist in legislated poverty with no reliable help or care. To be left by the wayside to die and abandoned by almost everyone. 🧵

If you keep living and keep fighting and keep waking up in the morning you will live long enough to see the dawn break and I think we're seeing the first rays of it right now Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if AI can't improve productivity of coding, then all other claims about productivity improvements are essentially horseshit. Coding was the one thing everyone was like "well yeah of course it will be able to do that faster"

At some point this scam has to end so we can get on with the world's real problems. We're sick of funneling money so techbros can build a third lunar escape pod for their fourth nuclear shelter under their sixth luxury mansion.

We have published now two full reports both debunking this claim and shining a new light on the climate impacts of companies like NVIDIA and others who insist on this without evidence. Public control won't fix this problem - not at all. ketanjoshi.co/2026/02/17/b... ketanjoshi.co/2026/09/16/n...
