Labor MP Josh Burns has said he feels blindsided by the Albanese government’s support for new gas production and that he didn’t get into politics to “be a support mechanism for the fossil fuel industry”

@AVincentInSpace @nous I've always disliked the arrogance of the lead Dev & the inexorable incremental usurping of Linux functionality. I'm deeply uncomfortable with so much being absorbed into a big binary black box

Hamas Accepts Cease-fire Deal, Israel 'Examining' Proposal; IDF Airstrikes Target Rafah - Haaretz.com

Six hostages who were released from captivity in Gaza and the representatives of 30 hostage families sent a letter to war cabinet members Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot demanding that they call a press conference Monday to "reveal to the public the truth about the negotiations."

In the letter, they blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for deliberately torpedoing a deal and said that he "is abandoning the hostages to their deaths."

"We watch in horror at what is happening, and demand to know what happened on Saturday," they wrote. "What are the ways Netanyahu has torpedoed a deal thus far?

chrisg,

@pezmico Wow! The energy, the passion, the amazing artistry of fusing traditional Japanese with western instruments.

  • This song is about that rebellion of young army and navy officers against the imperial Japanese government on Feb 26, 1936... 19 were beheaded, that's why "guillotine" was mentioned, and in Japanese, the falling of sakura implies the death of soldiers... this is indeed not an "I love Japan" song... Also talks about the inevitable westernization and the loss of Japanese culture over time.

Whoopsies! "Free speech absolutist" "accidentally" suspends the accounts of journalists who are critical of him, and people whose political views he disagrees with.

He seems to have quite the habit of firing or banning people he disagrees with, doesn't he?

Via Gizmodo:

"X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, purged an unknown number of prominent accounts over the last 24 hours with little to no explanation, and then restored the accounts minutes after this article was published.

"The list includes popular accounts belonging to journalists, writers, and podcasters. Among them are Ken Klippenstein of the Intercept, writer and podcaster Rob Rousseau, Texas Observer correspondent Steven Monacelli, the account for TrueAnon, a left-wing politics and news podcast, and a number of others.

"One thing the accounts have in common is recent criticisms of the Israeli government.

...

"Musk, who calls himself a “free speech absolutist” has previously said no one should be banned from X unless they break the law.

"Update, 1:12 p.m.: Shortly after this article was published, Musk responded to a question about the issue from far-right influencer Jackson Hinkle. Musk promised to investigate, and the accounts went back up soon after. Musk later blamed the “mistake” on X’s spam algorithms. The Hamas account is still suspended."
