  1. In honor of @La_Keka, who (along with the moderators) hates the truth and loves to silence those who speak it:
    a reminder that #nuclear kills fewer people per kilowatt-hour of electricity produced than either #wind or #solar. If you specify "U.S. nuclear", we're literally talking by orders of magnitude.

    Note; I am NOT against wind or solar! I'm not even fundamentally pro-nuclear. I am pro #truth, and pro #freespeech.

  2. Australia - Data Centres

    The government will want to hide the incompetence of NBNco if it wants to attract investors.

  4. Australia

    Is more authoritarian legislation being rubber stamped because it is impossible to control the narrative; as the lies collapse. People seem to be required to either support the lies or shut up; else be shut up.

  6. @strk "Moderation tools are being used for ideological policing." This.

    You dared to have an opinion that didn't match their authoritarian views.

    Similar to if you had said Taiwan exists to the CCP. Or anything negative about Putin in Russia.

  8. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    All the governments of the world adopt elaborate methods of concealing truths which they consider undesirable, and inflict various forms of penalty upon those who spread knowledge which is thought bad for the population This applies especially to knowledge of the kind which is considered seditious, and the kind which is considered obscene. I shall not give instances, since, if I did, I should myself fall under the ban of the law.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 1 “The Individual versus the Citizen” (1932)

  10. Fuck this Judge Tim O'Hare asshole. 🚓 🚨

    A speaker used profanity at a Tarrant Commissioners Court meeting. He was arrested a week later

    "I think we have seen a much more hostile treatment towards citizens and residents showing up at public government meetings. That hostility definitely has been the strongest within the Tarrant County Commissioners Court."

  12. White hairs freak me out. They remind me of where I am and when. They remind me of what I haven't been able to start due to the situation in #Venezuela and stuff. They wouldn't be a problem if human rights where a thing here. I wanna be myself. 🙄

  16. If you're in the U.S., you want to talk about this stuff, and you don't already have a large platform/following: please, please, just use a #VPN and an anonymous account. Give them as little as possible. It's vitally important to talk about these issues, but it's not worth having rancid demons show up on your doorstep, waiting to rob you of the precious little freedom you still enjoy.

  18. Australia - Greens Party

    Greens have been around a long time, which is an achievement in itself.

    However you are not gaining traction by tackling bad legislation one paragraph at a time.

    Maybe use your base and resources to focus on fixing the problems within our political system.

    Suggestions include: sovereignty, obligations, accountability, transparency.

    We should have known by the end of 1975 that we cannot trust public institutions and conventions.

    One view is that we may now be on he precipice of a cliff, without the abseiling equipment and skills needed to land safely.

  22. Australia

    When ALP got into bed with Murdoch, it was more than their soul they handed over.

    The elites now use AI programs that do not have the information needed to make accurate predictions. We can see it if we look.

    The narrative is adjusted daily and hypocrisy is another new normal.

  30. Due to the US's increasing criminalisation of dissent, I've decided to shift this blog to being entirely about Buddhism and comparative religions and cultures, in which I have a BA and about 40 years of experience. This blog's archives have been updated accordingly.

  34. Since August 1, 2016—50 years to the day after the UT Tower shooting—it’s been legal to carry concealed firearms into most public university spaces in #Texas, including classrooms.

    When the law went into effect, UT #Austin students reacted by brandishing dildos. texasobserver.org/cocks-not-gl

  41. How disinformation on X imperils Japan’s democracy

    Today’s Indo-Pacific is hyperconnected. Information is no longer merely a medium for public discourse. It has become a strategic battlespace between authoritarian and democratic states.…

  42. Somehow, this reeks of thin-skinned Texas officials retaliating over (admittedly vituperative) political speech, rather than thwarting a credible death threat. Welcome to *insert state*, where increasingly adults need an ID to participate in constitutionally protected speech.

  43. Dildo demonstrations, 10 years later: “Texas has decided it is not at all obnoxious or illegal to allow deadly concealed weapons on campus. But walking around with a dildo could land you in trouble. We’re protesting absurdity with absurdity.” texasobserver.org/cocks-not-gl
