Today’s Tingle. Too many western countries are silent on the far right government in Israel that is openly speaking about a ‘Greater Israel’ that involves invading and taking over several other countries, or parts of them. Like Germany in 1939 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

The poor pay taxes, the rich pay accountants. The poor pay high mortgage rates, the rich get paid by high interest rates.

What do you think piping the most expensive fossil fuel - extracted by the most expensive means - then sending it through an enormous, absurdly expensive pipeline is going to do to your energy bill? The folks spruiking this shit pretend to be serious, but come the fuck on. Bloody rent-seekers. 🙄

A lot of things make me feel kind of dumb, including how to take at face value the logic of “we are a multibillion dollar transnational industry building a vengeful elder god, and we definitely won’t stop unless you regulate us the way we want, which is a secret.”

This is an extraordinary act of direct foreign interference by the US embassy in domestic Australian politics. The Australian government should publicly respond by rejecting efforts by the US embassy to dictate how Australia legislates for a digital duty of care.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.
