We’re fucked. With these declining percentages of people believing in climate change there’s no way things will turn around. People just don’t understand the basic science. And we grey beards can already compare the difference from our youth so we’re in despair 😩

Toyota is so late to the party I doubt this will make a great impact. Sure they’ll sell a few BEVs but chasing the hydrogen boondoggle is a complete waste. In the mean time Chinese BEVs will eat their lunch.

This is what we’ll see more of as we move over to the electrification of everything

Thanks to @documental.ly substack (which I’ve been a paid reader for years) I’ve just read this sobering account about Superintelligent AI. I haven’t felt this way since walking out of the cinema after seeing “The Day After” in 1983. I’m just much older and have less life to miss out on this time.

I’m Not a Robot – What a great little film.

When you spend years striving for a goal, it’s an odd feeling to finally arrive. Six years and I’m now retired in my new home.

After nearly 50 working years I’m retiring in 5 hours. And other than payroll and my immediate supervisor, no one knows.

Thirty years ago we paid off the house and we’re mortgage free. A month later we broke up. I’ve been paying rent and mortgage ever since… Until today. Accommodation is now fully paid for. What a relief.

Gaia theory has always been a concept I’ve been fascinated with. This is an extension where we have a global intelligence. www.livescience.com/technology/c...

Well so much for any more career advancement 🤷‍♂️

On Monday, does Peter Dutton have to go to his parliamentary office to clean it out or do they just send him the boxes? I suppose he could just ask John Howard.

“We’ve tried Dutton - what else have we got? Well not much because if Angus Taylor is the answer, it’s a stupid question.” — Graham Richardson

My lifetime has now become history. This is introducing Countdown to younger generations as a historical phenomenon and for me it’s my youth.

Wow! www.livescience.com/animals/exti...

Oh, That’s perfect.

A little under two hours to go.

47% less dangerous to cycle than to drive. Meaning it's twice as dangerous to drive than to cycle, considering all aspects of the impacts of cycling and driving on lifestyle and health outcomes. Add a good diet, other exercise, community etc and the outcomes are amazing.

As the NAZIs take over and the temptation is to rage or panic, here’s some sound ancient advice in only the wordy smith way of @johnbirmingham.bsky.social

Peter Dutton seems less austere these days. Obviously he’s had a makeover to look more appealing but other than the spectacles, what do you think the stylist have done to him? I’d there a little bronzer on the chrome dome? #auspol

Why had l not seen this mashup before?

FFS These roles were created to replace the outsourcing to the public price gouging consultants. It’s saved the government money by employing their own government employees.

Dave Borlace from Just Have A Think mentioned Bank.green as a site to see if your bank is investing in #fossilfuels and I'm please to see my bank Suncorp is doing well.

I've spent 20yrs working for some of the world's largest social media firms and the fact is most people don't comment. So when the Internet is blowing up about something, it's largely meaningless. Everyone would do well to remember that.

It’s a physiological trap. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if that feeling of enjoyment from the first bite, coffee, beer etc could be repeated ad infinitum?

This is absolutely chilling. He truly is a sociopath.

Met a woman today introduced as Val. Asked if short for something. She said Valentina. I said a good Russian name like Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. Turns out she has the same surname also. She also named her son Yuri, in honour to Yuri Gagarin. #spacehistory #sovietspace

I woke very early this morning to 19°. Just a lovely mild start to the day. It’s going to be nasty later in the week so I’m enjoying.

I’m still trying to recover from the heat of Thursday. Friday I just rested and today has been slow. Bed now and hopefully Sunday I’ll be functioning again. Just in time for the onslaught of next weeks heat.

For your attention @peterduttonmpposts.bsky.social

I love keeping my inbox empty. I can manage it most of the time.

In 2020, we mapped out the danger zones that will close in on Americans over the next 30 years — combining climate data with wildfire projections by US Forest Service researchers. See what changes are in store for your county. By @shaw.al , @abrahm.bsky.social & Jeremy W. Goldsmith

I just finished “The Limits to Growth”, to understand what was thought then, the projections for the future and compare it to how we’re progressing. Sober reading from such little action since then. Indications are very poor for mid century.

I will donate to a development fund for Bluesky to build a Facebook equivalent. Please share this skeet if you would, too.

I hope these are true… “A few times when Trump was napping on long car rides, Secret Service agents could tell from Trump mumbling in his sleep that he was having a sex dream about Nancy Pelosi or Angela Merkel.”

Uruguay’s popular former president José Mujica reveals he is dying of cancer

Seems electrifying the auto fleet is struggling. I wonder what @bobbyllew.bsky.social and co think?

How lucky can you be?

Remember how the “Just in Time” supply lines struggled during COVID lockdowns. Optimisation to be resilient has to include some slack.

Earth’s history in one year. Makes you think. Everything we’ve harmed has happened in the last couple of seconds.

www.abc.net.au What! Are you suggesting mining companies, these doyens of corporate culture, gather the rewards of a mine and neglect to ameliorate any natural change. I don’t believe it!!! news/2017-02-16/australia-institute-report-raises-concerns-on-mine-rehab/8270558?utm_source=abc_news_app
