1) Physics is not a cult. 2) Scientists projected that temps would rise with more CO2 over 70yrs ago. They were right. nature.com/articles/s4159… more details of what climate scientists correctly projected can be found in the very long and detailed AR6 WG1.

MAGA ‘Prophet’ Julie Green says she has received a message from God for Trump (“my David”). God says he has sent prophets to try and speak to Trump about a strategy that is guaranteed to “crush his enemies,” but he is only listening to campaign people instead of the prophets.

So, I quote post insulting Musk and guess what? I suddenly get far fewer likes than usual and suddenly lose a chunk of followers. Like I say, he’s only for free speech that he approves of. He’s an election interferer. Like if you see this.

And all this time we said, How could they side with Putin and Russia against their own country and allies? Do they really think Putin is great? That Russia is great? No, it was never those things. It was greed. Just greed.

A woman with a familiar face smiled at me as we waited for a Qantas flight. She said ‘Nice to see you’ & shook my hand. I assumed I’d met her at a conference, so we chatted. Then, whoops, I realised she was Vanessa Hudson! CEO of Qantas. She flew economy. Impressive & charming.

"if you dislike anything that Elon tweets, then you support dictatorship" is my new go-to example of a false dichotomy

Murdered. She was murdered.

When MAGA cultists realise the only way Trump can win is for Harris to die, it is going to get really interesting. #USElection2024 #Trump #MAGA #Harris

So, I’m old enough to remember when traditional Republicans wanted absolutely nothing to do with Russia. What happened?

The rats are biting each other as their ship goes down. Fascinating.

The myth that publicly funding private schools somehow saves the public money takes a further hammering. smh.com.au/national/victo…

I recently reread H. Beam Piper's SPACE VIKING. It's much more relevant now than it was when it first ran as an Analog Fiction&Fact serial in 1962-3 (when I first read it, in my junior high library). How to conquer a civilization with insider help and stalking horse.

Gun proponents never want to talk about gun control after a gun massacre… #auspol
