After all my shots of the Perth skyline at night, my brother gave me the idea to take some photos at sunrise.
And so, suffering for my art, I got up at 06:00 and took A LOT of photos. These are the best of the bunch straight off the camera without edits (although to be honest not sure where I'd start with editing them...)
"New Drinking Water Guidelines for PFAS Chemicals. Which communities have breached the guidelines?"
Friends of the Earth #FoE has created a large database of #PFAS chemical detections. In light of the new guidelines, a table has been established to compile a list of Australian communities that have been exposed to PFAS levels above the new guideline levels.

Anti-Genocide Activism Is Terrorism In The Empire Of Lies
That’s right, welcome to the empire, where peace activists are called terrorists, where hospitals are called military bases, where facts are called blood libel, where people opposing genocide are called hateful Nazis, where genocidal soldiers are a protected group and chanting for their death is a hate crime.

Would love to see if the left would accept this:
1) New census, count legal citizens only
2) Mass deportations
3) In exchange, you get a form of nationalized healthcare
Even with 3, in American I think you’d see employers offering additional premium healthcare perks
The question was, would they make that exchange?
I don't believe they would, because #1 and #2 affect their political power directly and the left is ONLY about power.
You can see their reaction to Mamdani saying he as black (i.e. no big deal to them, because he's a communist) versus the reaction if it was anybody else.

Generated Summary:
Main Topic: The video discusses Peter Thiel's interview where he hesitates when asked if the human race should continue, and Glenn's reaction to Thiel's views on transhumanism, AI, and the potential dangers of unchecked billionaire influence.
Key Points:
- Thiel's Hesitation: The video starts by referencing Peter Thiel's interview where he seemed uncertain about whether humanity should continue.
- Transhumanism and AI: The discussion explores the transhumanist philosophy prevalent in Silicon Valley, focusing on merging humans with technology and AI, as exemplified by Mark Zuckerberg's vision of brain implants.
- Autism and Conformity: Glenn discusses Thiel's perspective on autism, suggesting that it can provide a detachment from societal norms, fostering innovation.
- Billionaire Culture: A significant portion of the video critiques the culture of Silicon Valley billionaires, arguing that their wealth and power, combined with constant flattery, can lead to detachment from reality, dangerous levels of self-confidence, and utopian/dystopian visions for society.
- Essentialism vs. Nihilism: The video touches on the philosophical implications of transhumanism, contrasting it with essentialist views of humanity and raising concerns about the potential destruction of what it means to be human.
- Lack of Debate: Glenn expresses concern about the lack of societal debate and safeguards surrounding the rapid advancement of AI, driven by billionaires with unchecked power.
Highlights:
- Glenn's concern about billionaires' ability to reshape society without proper debate due to their wealth and perceived brilliance.
- The discussion of Thiel's autism and how it might influence his unconventional thinking.
- The comparison of mind-altering drugs to autism as a means of achieving transcendent thought.
- The critique of Mark Zuckerberg's vision of brain implants and the potential implications for humanity.

The tragic death of 32 people in flash floods in Texas was due to rainfall probably magnified by the effects of the climate crisis.
The disaster was made all the more likely by the gutting of weather service and other government agencies built up over decades to keep the population safe.
