So y’all remember Rob Arkley, who got noticed for bribe trips for Sam Alito to Arkley’s Alaskan fishing lodge? In a strong field, he’s running hard for Douchebag of the Year. He’s spent a record $1 M to fight housing and protect parking lots. lostcoastoutpost.com/2024/sep/30/...

Police unions endorsing Trump (a lifelong criminal who sent a mob to assault Capitol police officers) over Harris (a former prosecutor) are really showing their entire ass.

An anti-wind group in Australia used a chatbot to create a fake scientific paper claiming offshore wind farms kill whales www.smh.com.au/environment/...

Associate professor Michelle Voyer was startled to see an article from the internationally esteemed academic journal Marine Policy asserting that wind energy projects proposed for the waters off the Illawarra and Hunter Valley would kill 400 whales a year pop up on social media.

After all Voyer lives in the Illawarra, and due to her role as principal fellow with the Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security at the University of Wollongong, she has expertise in the field. She is also, it turns out, associate editor of Marine Policy. She did not recognise the article.
She called a colleague, Professor Quentin Hanich, who also lives locally and who is editor-in-chief of Marine Policy. He confirmed what she suspected; the paper was a complete fabrication and had never been published.

But to someone without expertise it may have seemed credible, says Voyer, who suspected its author may have used an artificial intelligence program to mock up a journal article. The Facebook page that posted the article removed it when she flagged that it was false, but Voyer is concerned about the damage it might already have done.

The fake paper was another shot fired in an increasingly heated debate sparked by the federal government opening a community consultation period to consider the possible footprint of a potential future wind energy industry off the coast of the Illawarra and Hunter regions. The two areas were selected because they have existing heavy industry that will demand future clean energy, deepwater ports, transmission lines and sophisticated industria
