So take cover, all Gods children
Even the sun has gone to hide
Oh
The sky is raining bullets
And I'll never forget the day that tomorrow died

I want to past the whole text of what @GretaThunberg said at COP31, because it is so profound and true.

'Greta Thunberg has said that the planet is “not dying, it is being killed and we know by who” in a stark intervention at the Cop31 climate talks in Antalya, Turkey.

“It is being killed by the very same people thought to come to our rescue,” Thunberg, the Swedish climate activist, said. “No one is coming to our rescue.

“When our human rights are being threatened by states and other institutions, it’s our duty to stand up and be the adult in the room and fight for everyone’s human rights.”

Thunberg spoke at a packed press gathering in the Cop31 venue alongside other activists from Nepal, Australia, Palestine and Canada. All of them lambasted governments’ inaction on the climate crisis and called for the end of Turkish energy shipments to Israel, which Thunberg said was “directly feeling the genocide in Palestine.”

“We are heading towards a future of more genocides and more ecocides and the complete compromise of our basic rights and where basic necessities become luxuries,” Thunberg said. “It’s more clear than ever in spaces like these that the situation could not be any less under control, the planet is not dying, it is being killed.”'

Now ask, why so few other if any people with a platform, are speaking the unvarnished truth like this.

Jess Wilson has vowed to immediately repeal VIC’s First People’s Treaty despite 60,000+ years of connection to their country.

Wilson however will work closely with “Friends of Israel”. Says Jewish & ancestral ties to Israel are profound, sacred & never to be dismissed.

Australians deserve certainty that the medicines they need will be available and affordable.

Right now, the TGA database lists close to 400 medicines in shortage, around 80 in anticipated shortage and about 40 in critical shortage, with as many as 120 new shortages notified every month. These problems predate the pandemic but have worsened since. Every shortage is a cost to patients in money, time and stress.

Private jet owners pay just 3.556c/L in fuel excise, compared to drivers who pay 53.7c/L on petrol.

Independent analysis from the Parliamentary Budget Office shows that failing to stop this tax break for private jet owners will cost taxpayers around $640 million next year alone.

今天外网科技圈都在看微软的笑话。有博主发了一条推文吐槽，说微软之前大裁员 6 万人想用 AI 顶上，结果今天 Microsoft 365 邮件服务在美国和欧洲全线崩了，迟迟修不好——因为懂底层架构、能干活的资深老员工全被裁光了，现在根本没人看得懂这堆祖传代码。

先不管 6 万人这个数字有没有水分，评论区里的反应才是最真实的。伦敦那边的用户说除了 Teams 全挂了，还有法国打工人开心表示“从昨晚六点就没收到过邮件，相当于白嫖一天假期”。

更有意思的是底下有人支招，说干脆自己搭个免费的 SMTP/IMAP 邮件服务器算了，省得受大厂的气。结果博主直接泼了盆冷水：现在电子邮件早就被微软、谷歌和 AWS 垄断成“黑帮地盘”了，自己搭服务器技术上没难度，但你发出去的邮件根本进不了 Gmail 收件箱，大概率直接被当垃圾邮件拒收。

说到底，AI 平时写写代码、当个顺手工具还行，真到了核心系统炸锅的时候，救命的还得是那些知道“屎山”哪块不能动的老师傅。为了财报好看把修水管的人全开了，早晚得淹水。

The destruction of Adelaide's celebrated parklands will be the only lasting legacy of Premier Malinauskas (@PMalinauskasMP), in his feeble attempt to emulate Melbourne's sporting facilities. He's a disgrace. Colonel William Light is no doubt turning in his grave, and wondering when the butcher Malinauskas will desecrate his grave and turn Light Square into a frisbee arena.

Jensen Huang’s exit proves one thing beyond a shadow of a doubt: the "Chinese spy" conspiracy theory is dead—and Washington’s anti-Huang, anti-Trump hawks just scored a massive win.

Several US AI experts have already warned that seeing an industry pioneer step down like this is a major loss for global tech. Yet this whole mess was never a real national security crisis. Like we noted two days ago, DC partisan infighting—weaponizing the "China" label—started this storm, and that battle is far from over. The newly leaked office romance simply became the final straw, handing his opponents the exact outcome they wanted.

With more details coming to light, a much clearer picture is taking shape.

First, the "Chinese spy" logic makes zero sense.
Even if Huang was completely in the dark, you don't steal a $3 trillion semiconductor ecosystem—built on tens of thousands of engineers and complex supply chains—through pillow talk. More importantly, Huang successfully lobbied the White House to allow H200 chip sales to China. Risking a total export freeze by running a "honey trap" on your single most valuable public advocate would be pure strategic malpractice for Beijing.

Second, the "spy" probe was still unresolved—an internal HR blowup was the final straw.
When the #AliceHuang story broke on Sunday, Nvidia's board actually stood by him, seeing no proof of leaked secrets. The national security probe was still up in the air. What sealed his fate on Wednesday night was The New York Times citing five former insiders over an affair with his direct subordinate, VP #KimberlyPowell. In Corporate America, a CEO dating a direct report is an instant governance death sentence—the exact same HR violation that cost the CEOs of Intel and McDonald's their jobs. This became the final straw that forced the board to cut ties—handing his Washington rivals the exact scalp they wanted.

Third, there’s still zero hard proof on the spy claims—and the timing raises serious questions.
The core "spy" claims all relied on anonymous officials leaking to the press. Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted on Thursday that neither the DOJ nor FBI has concluded Alice Huang is a spy, and Singapore’s Home Affairs Ministry also confirmed its probe into her had nothing to do with espionage. Yet intelligence agencies sat on this info for over a year, only to drop it right before the early November midterms and keep turning up the heat ahead of the U.S.-China summit. Rather than genuine counterintelligence, this looks much more like a calculated political play.

Even with Huang out—and CFO Colette Kress stepping in as interim CEO—the anti-Huang and anti-Trump crowd isn't slowing down. In fact, they’re moving in:

Aiming straight at Trump: Senate Dem Leader Chuck Schumer, alongside Warren and Coons, is turning the fire directly onto Trump and his Cabinet—giving Lutnick, Rubio, and Stephen Miller a Nov. 17 deadline to preserve White House records for upcoming hearings.

Forcing Nvidia to fall in line: With a caretaker CFO at the helm, Nvidia’s lobbying muscle in DC is dead. Under relentless Washington pressure, the company—and whoever takes over permanently—will have no choice but to cooperate with congressional probes and "politically correctly" comply with strict export controls, just as hawks rush to pass stalled AI bans.

Putting Silicon Valley on notice: Fresh off winning back both the House and Senate this November, Democrats are taking down Silicon Valley’s biggest pro-Trump flag-bearer to send a clear message to Big Tech: Congress is back in charge of setting the rules. Meanwhile, even inside the GOP, China hawks like Mast and Moolenaar deeply resent tech bosses lobbying Trump to ease chip bans just to make money in China—making an example of Huang warns every other US exec not to use the White House to bypass export controls.

Many are comparing Huang’s exit to Steve Jobs leaving Apple. At the height of the U.S.-China tech rivalry, one takeaway is crystal clear: what’s sabotaging America's tech edge isn't outside competition or foreign spies—it’s Washington itself. The "Chinese spy" narrative was just a convenient weapon.

Gaza had over 2 million olive trees until 2023.
About 150,000 remain.

Genocide is not only about killing. It also entails intentionally destroying the conditions of a people's existence and inflicting severe mental harm upon them.

PM Albanese has introduced laws that will allow Defence, including US Military and their contractors, to create "Defence security Zones".
These Laws will allow Defence to takeover any location in Australia.
Labors will bypass existing Laws and lock up anyone who gets in the way.

Israel's latest bombing of Nasser Hospital in Gaza on Thursday killed six Palestinians, including surgeon Rizo Abu Shaira. “It's just barbarism,” says @FerozeSidhwa, a surgeon from the U.S. who worked alongside Abu Shaira in Gaza. “That's an American-made bomb dropped by an American-made airplane burning American-supplied jet fuel.”

7 percent of Australia’s Catholic priests have been accused of sexually abusing children

The Exact global numbers of Catholic priests that have committed violent crimes against children are unavailable due to underreporting and varying legal systems, but major studies provide estimates:

- US (John Jay Report, 1950-2002): ~4,392 priests credibly accused of abusing minors (~4% of clergy).

- France (2021 inquiry): ~3,000 clergy implicated in abusing 216,000-330,000 children since 1950.

- Germany (2018 study): ~1,670 clergy accused of abusing 3,677 minors.

Convictions vary by country; many cases settled out of court. Sources: USCCB, BBC, NPR.
