Aussie from Queensland. Wants AI do laundry instead of art. Appreciates tech, Tesla _cars_, space tech, cats and Canadians. Disrespects fascists (looking at you Elon) and their arse kissers. Can’t believe USA has so many Trump-approving fuckwits.

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Long story short, states should never murder people. Always just lock them up , and always keep options for appeal available. It’s the only fair way.

No more "drop in the ocean" defenses. The new open-source Carbon Impacts Tracer lets scientists quantify the exact human and environmental toll of individual fossil fuel projects. A massive leap for climate accountability. tinyurl.com/yxcbbvj8 #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Energy

We can finally measure the damage each new coal, gas or oil project will do to people and nature
For decades, we couldn’t trace the link between new fossil fuel projects and their damage to people and planet. But now we can.

I think the Senate Judiciary Hearing today, where they tried…in vain…to smear Jack Smith, was better than anything else that could have taken place to boost voter turnout for democracy. I think it reminded a lot of people just how much they hate these swindlers…and why.

Black text on a white page that reads as follows: 

Too often, homeless New Yorkers cycle from our hospitals to our streets — making it harder to continue treatment and find long-term stability. 

The City's Bridge to Home program in Manhattan ends the cycle by providing a safe place for New Yorkers to live while they receive medical care, apply to jobs, and find an apartment. The program has been a massive success.

Today, we’re expanding Bridge to Home to Brooklyn and Queens, so more New Yorkers get the help they need.

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.
