Italy could be the next country to build a solar railway after Switzerland’s successful trial. I feel we are on the cusp of breaking free from fossil fuels...even though predatory capitalist are trying to hold us back. www.euronews.com/2026/07/05/i...

Switzerland’s solar railway has been a success. What happens next?
Solar railways could soon become commonplace in Europe, following a successful trial in Switzerland.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

Years now of calling for these murderers to stop killing everyone and start "respecting" the law - this would be evil and absurd by itself, but to do this while also arming the murderers and funding them and calling them your "friend" makes this a uniquely ghoulish exercise of propaganda.
Israel's illegal invasion and ethnic cleansing of Lebanon. Not "contributing to" it is the literal sole cause of it.


@SenatorWong
The conflict in Lebanon is contributing to a humanitarian crisis. As UN Security Council members meet today to discuss the protection of UN and Humanitarian Personnel, Australia and partners call for international humanitarian law to be respected, and aid workers to be protected.

Years of this passive language has desensitised us. Is the law being "disrespected"? No. It's being criminally breached by Israel, over and over again, which in turn, obligates states to react, to punish, to sanction. When someone is murdered, you do not "call for" the murderer to respect the law, you arrest them.

At the 2019 federal election, PM Scott Morrison famously declared that Bill Shorten wanted to "end the weekend" with his EV policy. If Australia hadn't delayed EV policy it's estimated by now 100m litres of petrol & diesel would be displaced per month. #auspol thedriven.io/2026/03/15/r...

Australia could have had three times as many EVs on the road, powered by renewable. Instead, we are pumping dirty fuel into our tanks because of a ridiculous scare campaign.
