I honestly don't understand why we have had nearly ten years of pretending that the Adani Carmichael mine is viable. Here's some really simple maths explaining why it just doesn't stand up financially: 1. Plan is for a 10m ton per year mine, rising to 20mtpa

Elon Musk: *Is CEO of SpaceX, Tesla* People: "Elon made electric cars! Elon's taking us to Mars! Elon, Elon, Elon!" Katie Bouman: *Invents an algorithm to see black holes, leads the team that executes it* People: "hold up I mean it was a team effort, why does she get the praise?"

Scott Morrison, Angus Taylor and the Liberals are starting to roll out a truly desperate campaign against electric cars using the dankest memes imaginable. Anyway, here's a thread of all the times Liberals & Nats used electric cars for a photo op. 👇👇👇

"Leftists are always calling me stupid. Well if supporting Trump, opposing action on climate change and identifying cultural Marxism in our primary schools makes me stupid, call me the dumbest man in Australia” Ladies and gentlemen, the dumbest man in Australia:

A rant about the state of statistical work in (clinical) medical journals: 4/20 "Weed day" edition. Last year @JAMAInternalMed published a paper purporting to show that on April 20 traffic accidents spike, due to stoned drivers: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… 1/n

Calling a Black POTUS married 25 yrs to 1 wife with 2 children, no mistresses, affairs or scandals, ‘the antichrist’ but a white POTUS married thrice, 5 kids by 3 women, mistresses, affairs & scandals, ‘God‘s anointed,’ proves your religion is white supremacy.

A reminder - Labor has held Govt for 6 of the past 22 years. For 3 of Labor’s 6 years they held minority Govt. For most of those 22 years Labor has been attacked by parts of our media. Yet - LNP still blame Labor for everything #auspol Call the election. – at Sydney, New South Wales

Outrageous
By proposing a Commonwealth Integrity Commission with no retrospective powers, #ScottMorrison is limiting examination of the Coalition’s time in power. #auspol

It was Mark Twain who said “Only fiction has to be credible.” But the @australian satirists outdid Orwell with their editorial today headed “Turnbull moderates blow up a centrist government” A centrist government was blown up; in August and it wasn’t done by moderates.

People are going to die if we don’t start addressing climate change ASAP. It’s not enough to think it’s “important.” We must make it urgent. That’s why we need a Select Committee on a Green New Deal, & why fossil fuel-funded officials shouldn’t be writing climate change policy.
A massive federal climate change report that was due next month is out today. It warns of devastating health and economic costs to the US. cnn.it/2BuEOMD

Ah yes, God forbid a diverse, working-class district (that more accurately represents modern America) actually have equal say in our democracy as your weird uncle with questionable racial beliefs who shares fake conspiracy memes on Facebook.
.@Ocasio2018 is a perfect example of why the Electoral College is so important. Without it, the people who voted for her would make decisions for of us.
