Planet on Fire

This video presents a striking contrast between the enduring legacy of human civilisation and the imminent threat of global environmental collapse. Visual records of the Easter Island moai statues serve as silent witnesses to history, captured under the Milky Way and the glow of Pacific sunsets.

Google’s new data hub on Christmas Island boosts connectivity, spurs renewable energy, and supports local economy without straining resources.

So Google is building a massive AI data centre on Christmas Island, a tiny remote Australian territory with 1,692 people, and it’s exactly the kind of dystopian tech imperialism you’d expect.
They’re militarising a small island community in the name of cloud computing, partnering with the Australian Defence Department to monitor Chinese submarines and enable AI powered warfare systems. The island becomes a pawn in great power conflicts while Google extracts strategic value.
Meanwhile, locals are promised vague economic benefits while their homeland gets turned into a surveillance node with subsea cables linking to US Marine bases. Classic extractive colonialism dressed up as innovation.
The energy demands alone, powered by a local mining company, naturally, are staggering. Big Tech continues doubling our electricity costs for AI toys while communities bear the burden.
Christmas Island is known for red crab migrations, not military infrastructure. But when you’re a trillion dollar corporation, even the most remote ecosystems are just real estate for your empire.

Christmas Island review: Rachel Skarsten in a Hallmark romcom

Christmas Island is a Hallmark Christmas romcom. It's streaming on Netflix now, which is my way of telling you that a whole lot of Hallmark Christmas movies are now on Netflix. This one stars Rachel Skarsten, a favorite of mine, so I took a look.
