everything would be less stressful for the ALP if they just fucking admitted to themselves and everyone else they are a right wing party with the goal of remaining in power through appeasing billionaires and business interests.

But wind farm blades go to landfill! they used to, now they can be recycled, as are solar panels. We need nuclear!!!!! we don't, its expensive, and also has a waste problem, 200,000 barrels and decades later, still leaking. www.sciencealert.com/150000-tons-...

150,000 Tons of Radioactive Waste Were Dumped in The Atlantic. Decades Later, It's Visibly Oozing.
The second half of the 20th century was something of a golden age for nuclear technology.

I'd list the 2017 output of King Gizzard into this, and they did it perfectly *five times*: * Microtonal krautrock/Anatolian rock * Triple EP of space rock prog * Lounge/jazz collab with Mild High Club * Polyrhythmic prog-psych * Grab-bag of wildly diverse off-cuts that absolutely did not suck

"I belong to a cult. Someone did some research that undermines the core tenets of my cult and came up with a catchy phrase that makes it harder to recruit more people to my cult. This makes me sad."
Screencap of tweet on X from @jackclarkSF (Jack Clark):

"stochastic parrot" was a mimetically-fit cognitive virus that spread from 2021-2025; it temporarily blinded many gifted people to the nature of AI progress, burning up crucial years in which they could have helped think through the response to the situation.
