I think what the world needs is a gardening show with Zack Galifianakis and Costa Georgiadisas hosts. And a weekly segment on wood with Nick Offerman. #GardeningAustralia #thisIsAGardeningShow #gardening #plants

Zach and Costa in a badly put together combination of "gardening australia" and
"this is a gardening show" title cards

I try to translate these headlines as best I can, but it takes a lot of concentration. It’s pure joy to mumble out a translation and then realise you’ve just said the words “slutty chef” out loud

Good news! The final ENTSO-E report into the Spain blackout is out A complex stew of different factors, but "too much solar" is simply not even among them, let alone a major component. As always: the narrative built by fossil/nuke advocates was wrong www.entsoe.eu/news/2026/03...

Summary
The final report of the Expert Panel on the 28 April 2025 blackout in continental Spain and Portugal identifies the causes of the blackout and outlines recommendations to strengthen the resilience of Europe’s interconnected electricity system. It was prepared by a technical Expert Panel of 49 members, including representatives from Transmission System Operators (TSOs), Regional Coordination Centres (RCCs), ACER and National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs), and was chaired by experts from two unaffected TSOs.

The investigation concludes that the blackout resulted from a combination of many interacting factors, including oscillations, gaps in voltage and reactive power control, differences in voltage regulation practices, rapid output reductions and generator disconnections in Spain, and uneven stabilisation capabilities. These factors led to fast increases of voltage and cascading generation disconnections in Spain, resulting in the blackout in continental Spain and Portugal.

Based on these findings, the Expert Panel sets out recommendations addressing each of the factors identified in the report to help prevent similar events in the future. These include strengthened operational practices, improved monitoring of system behaviour and closer coordination and data exchange among power system actors. The findings of the investigation also underscore the need for regulatory frameworks to adapt in order to support the evolving nature of the power system.

The 28 April blackout was a first of its kind event, and the recommendations aim to strengthen system resilience with solutions that are already technologically deployable. This blackout highlights how developments at the local level can have system-wide implications and underlines the importance of maintaining strong links between local and European system behaviour and coordination, while ensuring that market…

Jeremy's reaction is a good measure of how this failure will be received among the wider public, not only as it concerns the NACC, but what it suggests about the broader ability of Australian institutions to hold anyone of significant power or influence to account for anything in future.

Robodebt showed us what happens when the government breaks its own laws without consequence. It’s clear that Labor and its Department have not learned their lesson.

There's a local bloke who at first glance seems like a single-issue crank, but it turns out the government's been lying to him repeatedly since 2012, having known for 20 years that he's right about mining damage in the area.

Like, I know the problem is so much bigger than what a bit of legislation can fix. And. Having a reasonable chance of being able to legally sexually assault a 13yo is insane

Maybe the if someone is over 20, the age of consent clocks up to 18yo so people like him can’t straight faced claim legal permission to permission to fuck 16yos

Okay and in further “everything is fucked” vibes, that news article is pretty much a word for word rip off of the Guardian article about the event, credited to “an AI Journalist Sarah Cheung”

NACC was fatally wounded in its opening case, and these documents hint at how deep the wound really is. It cannot function as it is, and it raises the question of whether it was ever intended to.

Thread posts on X by @DavidShoebridge

Post 1: 🧵THREAD: Documents forced out of the NACC by the my office under FOI show the Commission has been actively concealing critical information about its Robodebt investigation from the Australian public.

Post 2: FOI docs obtained by my office reveal Justice Jeffrey Nettle found that each of the six Robodebt referrals "raises a corruption issue" but the NACC deliberately hid these findings from their public statement. How do we know this? We FOI'd their draft media release.

Post 3: The draft media release shows someone at the NACC (possibly Commissioner Brereton) edited out Justice Nettle's critical corruption conclusions. The integrity body is STILL trying to hide the truth. (Includes images that show extensive redactions to the original media release, removing references to the judge's findings)

Post 4: The NACC continues to privilege the powerful at the expense of Australians harmed by Robodebt.

This must end.

People need to get more comfortable with shame: you see a person in need and can't help. It feels bad. It SHOULD feel bad. The solution is not to invent some wild slander about them to quiet the little voice in your head screaming about how wrong it all is.
