Re: Interesting/Notable/Weird news that doesn't need it's own thread

The moment you should realise you are on the wrong side! Days after neo-Nazis clashed violently with anti-fascists in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury, they were out again More like chased out of Thornbury.. At least there was some positive in the story.. https://twitter.com/9NewsMelb/status/17029...

Re: Climate Change

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/20/revealed-almost-everyone-in-europe-breathing-toxic-air OK this is interesting, that WHO's safe air quality guideline for PM2.5 concentrations is 5ug/m3, so when they say almost everyone in Europe is breathing toxic air they are saying over 5ug/m3....

Re: Donald Trump

So Trump keeps saying Biden is cognitively impaired yet he thinks (1) he beat Obama in 2016 (2) Biden will start world war TWO if left in office.. Ok can we move past this media obsession that Biden is impaired and somehow Trump isn't.. Trump is only 3 years younger and seems to screw up as much if ...

Re: Peterson, Pinker, IDW and other celeb bullshitters

ohh boy, kind of funny, but not going to do any good. If anything it just gives him more to whinge about and point to in order to declare himself a victim.

Re: What is Elon Musk up to now..

Looks like they are still artificially slowing links to competitors. Should trigger an antitrust case IMHO. Twitter continues to slow traffic to competing sites nearly a month after it partially pulled back from such throttling, a Markup analysis has found. Users of the social platform, now official...

It is actually a subject I was going to raise in this thread.. So I previously had a virtual-machine at home running PiHole, it is a self ...

Re: GOP watch

That film "Weekend At Bernie's" springs to mind very readily. Yet Q&A last week is spinning our concern as ageism, sigh, he should be able to work as long as he wants to.. It isn't ageism to point out the poor guy clearly has dementia (it is not unusual for a head injury to accelerate...
