@DavidShoebridge @Balgowallah VIQ Australia & VIQ Solutions are both under administration publishednotices.asic.gov.au/browsesearch-n…

The Federal Courts handed every court transcript to outsourced provider VIQ Solutions. VIQ then publicly boasted their AI was trained in partnership with Australian courts, without a single litigant ever being told or asked for their consent on often intensely private material.

This is Tyre in South Lebanon today. Israel is leveling entire civilian neighborhoods in one of the most intense bombardments yet. One of humanity’s oldest cities. Is being systematically wiped out. And not a peep from the complicit international community, of course.

[Thread impact agricole] Tout comme le dôme de chaleur de Lytton avec ses 49,6°C en juin 2021, le dôme de chaleur de mai 2026 devient un cas d’étude mondial sur ce que le changement climatique peut produire de plus extrême. Cette fois-ci, les prévisions s’approchent localement des 38 à 40°C. Sur plusieurs jours. En mai. En France. En été, on aurait largement dépasser les 45°C (et encore je me retiens de ne pas vous dire 48-50°C). Vous pouvez m’insulter, me traiter de « catastrophiste » ou de « vendu ». Je vous réponds factuellement : c’est un désastre écologique. Et je n’ai aucun problème à employer ce terme. Parce qu’il ne s’agit plus simplement de « repousser les limites » du climat connu. On est en train de les pulvériser : ➡️ la journée présentant l’écart aux normales le plus élevé jamais observé à l’échelle nationale, avec près de +10°C. ➡️ près de 60 % des stations météorologiques susceptibles de battre leur record mensuel, parfois jusqu’à 7 jours consécutifs. ➡️ plus de 1000 records mensuels potentiellement battus d’ici la fin de l’épisode. ➡️ le record national mensuel de chaleur pour un mois de mai (38,0°C) qui pourrait être dépassé, possiblement à plusieurs reprises. ➡️ une vague de chaleur qui arriverait avec près de trois semaines d’avance sur le précédent épisode le plus précoce… observé seulement l’an dernier, le 19 juin. Et derrière les chiffres, il y a des conséquences concrètes : cultures échaudées en pleine phase sensible, mortalité accrue chez les oiseaux nichant sous les toitures, stress hydrique brutal pour les jeunes plantations, et des écosystèmes entiers soumis à une violence thermique totalement hors saison (oui, "violent" est le terme). Les impacts agricoles et écologiques sont détaillés dans ce thread, cartes à l’appui. À dérouler et partager 👇#FrAgTw 1/7

The Gaza blockade is extraordinarily criminal: a form of collective punishment, it is a war crime in itself, and the enclosure behind which genocide has unfolded. Cooperating with Israel under these conditions may entail complicity. All this must end and be accounted for.

@cturnbull1968 @captain_stavros I’m 95% of the way to curing cancer. The remaining 5% is working out what causes it & developing a cure

Almost bought a new Porsche today. We got 95% of the deal done but couldn’t agree on a price, exact model, color or accessories.

Nick Hanna does it again. Another massive win for free speech & justice: Charges withdrawn against artist Michael Agzarian The charge was a result of artwork adapted of an image from US sitcom Hogan’s Heroes depicting politicians & billionaire business leaders in Nazi uniforms

The people whining about colours on a map have zero idea of the magnitude of fucked we are

May we just ask for your attention for a moment! This first animation is situated in the core of the Thwaites Glacier Tongue in Antarctica! A heart-shaped piece of ice (1 km²) breaks off, beautifully but simply illustrating the destabilization of the entire glacier tongue. @UN

“Post-warning strike” What an insane way to describe bombing a residential building DURING A “CEASEFIRE.”

The enormous Pacific Ocean heatwave + Super El Niño has scientists freaking out, it's so anomalous and intense. It spells doom for all Pacific Coast aquatic life, from krill to sea stars to sea lions to whales. California Brown Pelicans are already suffering malnutrition. 💔

Footage from inside Gaza shows mass graves as thousands remain unidentified MEMO to UK media: this is more significant, more important, more worthy of front pages and tops of bulletins than someone stupidly, recklessly retweeting or liking something apple.news/AojhOFYSNTt6VL…

@notquietaussie @PeterCronau I flee your pain!

The new Palestine Holocaust denial.

@PeterCronau @davegraney Flee* damn spellcheck

@PeterCronau @davegraney “The natural compulsion for people to feel a war zone” why is it a war zone? Oh yeah, because of the ethnic cleansing 😵‍💫

Yes, I like to be nurturing while I cheat on my tax and exploit people to build wealth exclusively for my own family. Don’t all women want that?

Israel just committed another horrific massacre in South Lebanon. Dropping bombs on residential homes in Sir El Gharbiyeh. Families buried under rubble. Civilians slaughtered in their own homes. This is mass murder.

It's funny to me how Christians talk about heaven being a beautiful classless society where everybody has their needs met but then turn around and demonize the people trying to make this a reality in real life.

Ebola cases have tripled and it’s getting worse. I’ve covered two outbreaks in my time — both terrifying. It’s disturbingly easy to catch it, and has a 40%-plus death rate. Sometimes families are boarded up in their homes to die untreated. It passes to humans through eating bodies of infected bats, monkeys, antelopes etc — bushmeat.

@SBSNews Personally I’d like to stay and protect my hard-earned tax from being used as a handout for someone’s 9th luxury home.
