Prediction is hard. Especially about the future. That Yogi Berra gem proves that you don't have to be a sf writer to get irritated with people insisting that you must know what's going to happen tomorrow, but (as a sf writer), I can tell you that this is one of our main occupational hazards.

"‘Unprecedented highs’ of greenhouse gases lock in temperature increase for the planet" by @brianmchugh.bsky.social for #ClimateThoughtsWithBrian: climatewithbrian.com/2026/10/27/u...

The numbers for potential climate harm from direct fossil-fuelled data centres are just phenomenal. It makes no sense to help them realise their dreams here

You're allowed to say 'no' to people who offer you reach and money. It's actually imperative

Well done #MediaWatch for exposing the Murdoch media’s farcical climate-denying attempts to undermine the Bureau of Meteorology. The Australian’s latest toxic contribution to raising the temperature. #NewsCorpse #auspol

Sarah Henderson objects to $2M being spent on media facilities at Pre-COP - then objects & blows up when Murray Watt reminds her that at John Howard’s APEC conference in 2007 “over $9M was spent on media…nearly 5 times the amount.”💥 Classic Liberal hypocrisy. #auspol

Michigan Senate candidate @abdulelsayed.bsky.social: "I think it's time for us to realize that Israel is not actually our friend."

AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett calls out violent political rhetoric such as Pauline Hanson’s car ramming video—for having a "direct correlation" to real attacks on politicians. Speers: “Like a cartoon that suggests someone should be hit by a car…?” Barrett: Yep.💥 #auspol

NEW: An army of volunteers and activists across the US have been training for months to face down ICE at the polls on election day. The message they have for the Trump administration? "We're ready" 1/ www.wired.com/story/massiv...

It's a blatant display of intellectual dishonesty: he claims to believe that "AI" is the future of gaming development and it should be embraced, but he also seems to think its use should be a matter of privacy and not to be broadcasted to customers. Such an intolerable dipshit.

After having been ordered to surrender his passport and not leave the country, Bolsonaro has reportedly fled Brazil on a private flight to the United States. Buddy boy better hope he's got somewhere else to go after 2028, because his ass will be extradited ...

US APPEALS COURT DENIES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S REQUEST TO STOP CALIFORNIA FROM COUNTING MAIL BALLOTS FROM ALLEGED NONCITIZENS

i heard Senator Gallagher on RN Brekky this morning. completely tin-eared response on this ‘everything is (almost) fine’. an apology and promise to act on ombudsman’s report wld be much much better. Do better, labor. you look like Scott Morrison! #auspol

How was this not 3-0?

Politicians telling us to ‘turn down the temperature’ is peak hypocrisy, @amyremeikis.bsky.social writes. "Why is it the people pointing to the fire are those being told to stop being so vocal about it?" www.deepcutnews.com/p/politician...

“Large AI firms are shopping around the world trying to sell their snake oil and the price is copyright reform. International creative businesses are looking at Australia and cannot believe the government has been duped.” The Albanese govt isn’t just risking Australian IP. It is exposing the world.

I know he said it from an America-centric perspective, but it is especially false in reverse. You bet we would LOVE not to have to care about American politics. Damn it, I know more about NYC or Texas politics than my neighbor state because it is more relevant in the long run.

did you guys think this would make him seem less cool somehow or what

Legal and Con Estimates today, I’ll be asking: 🔎 Why the NACC has still never held a public hearing ⚖️ The Brereton reports that were never released 🎙️ How private court recordings were offshored ❌ How new hate laws are being used against Palestinians

Remember how crucial the establishment of an NACC was during that wave of community independents’ gaining traction in the federal parliament? Helen Haines was front and centre as an intellectual and political force in that campaign. Rigorous. Unflagging. It’s a shame about the actuality? #auspol

A Commonwealth Ombudsman investigation has revealed that the government's aged care tool has led to unfair outcomes and undermined public confidence and safety. #AusPol www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

We condemn the political threats made by Opposition Leader Jess Wilson on Sunday and reject her misleading connection between protest of Israel’s genocide and the horrific Bondi attack. Protesting a livestreamed genocide is not antisemitic. Our release: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/10/jewi...

"If Wilson is genuinely concerned with fighting antisemitism, she should explain why her party has not ruled out doing preference deals with One Nation, which has run holocaust deniers for Parliament and has extensive links to neo-nazis and white supremacists.” 💥🎯👏👏👏 #springst #auspol

Fascist not voted in. Stocks tumble. Tells you something about the nature of capitalism. #auspol

The business case for AI and data centres I've been waiting for. 😐 #auspol

"The fact that you have all of these parties that are advocating major war crimes and nobody is blinking says something very deep about Israeli society, but also about an international community that has fostered this and that has allowed this to brew for all of these years."

This new Exxon ad with Woody Harrelson goes so hard 😳😂❤️‍🔥

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

the pleasure is mine folks--thanks for all you do!

Endangered turtles and ‘exceptional’ coral at risk from Woodside’s gas drilling in WA, watchdog says

This is just sad..👇🏽👇🏽 The purpose of the exercise was for the CHILD to discover three things that make them their unique selves Instead of helping her child discover & discern, she outsourced it to code Epic mother fail in my mind. Child learned to let code define them instead of their own minds

Again, it’s worth recalling what happened when the SNP put forward a parliamentary motion about this type of thing, which included the words “collective punishment”. Remember how all the press lads were outraged, but also very non-specific about it was that had happened and why it was bad.
