Australia has plenty of gas, but most of it is in the Northwest Shelf, isolated from the populated east coast. The West-East Pipeline would unify the national market, connecting cheap WA gas to the expensive eastern states. A 2017 feasibility study estimated construction would take two years and cost $5.8 billion, and reduce east coast gas prices by $3/GJ - a benefit of over $2 billion per year! That’s narrow peacetime benefits only, ignoring the project’s strategic value and national resilience. If coupled with a gas-to-liquids plant in South Australia, it would underpin true liquid fuel security for a nation increasingly aware of its dependence on maritime trade.

Pete Hegseth, at today's Christian Prayer & Worship Service at the Pentagon, prays for Almighty God to "pour out your wrath" and "break the teeth of the ungodly." He begs the Almighty to sanction "overwhelming violence" against "those who deserve no mercy"

This is a genuinely interesting story. Huge amount of automated work, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of human hours. BUT: with an error rate of 10%, and with the precise reading of *every* word mattering in such an exercise, it is meaningless, and for manuscripts of authority worse than useless, without a human checking every single word. BUT: there simply aren't people, in 2026, with the expertise, the time, and the funding to check these 32,000 manuscripts at this level. Welcome to Digital Humanities Slop.

Very simple idea for an Iran War ceasefire: keep markets open on the weekend. Kidding, and not.

Trump on Iranian leaders: "They're gonna make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing actually. They gave us a present, and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I'm not gonna tell you what that present is but it was very significant prize."

Trump on Iran: We really had regime change. This is a change in the regime because the leaders are all different. I think we can say this is regime change.

I've been analyzing the stock market for 50 years I manage billions of dollars and I'm an expert in macroeconomics Here's exactly what will happen from here with the Iran situation: I have no fucking idea

BREAKING: An extremely MAGA televangelist from Mississippi who claimed that God was using Donald Trump to start the Iran War so that the Biblical Apocalypse could begin and Rapture up all the Christians just got arrested for running a meth lab in the basement of his church.

A French naval officer unknowingly revealed the location of the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle by sharing a public workout on the fitness app Strava. His run, recorded at sea, made it possible to pinpoint the carrier’s position in the Mediterranean near Cyprus. Although the carrier’s deployment was public, sharing its exact real-time location is a serious security risk. Source: Le Monde

I think that the biggest difference between the Iran war and the Vietnam war is Donald Trump knew how to get himself out of the Vietnam war.
