I'm in a Telstra 5G rural zone, which means it thrashes for 30 seconds before switching to 4G, gets a few packets, then goes back to 5G and fails again. Waving the phone around like the 90s helps. 6G is going to be awesome. I'll finally have no service whatsoever and get a digital detox.

They used white phosphorus too. Our politicians simply don't care, and have tacitly approved of the most sadistic regime in modern times...so far. The US kidnappings, gulags, and murders might come close when it all comes out.

“Survival of the fittest” is often used to justify capitalist society, but this wasn’t a phrase that Darwin used. He described it as “better designed for an immediate, local environment" and wrote of groups that survived through empathy and sharing rather than greed. We must change Or die

Morning cactus. They will be flowering soon. We've had good rain, so they should be nice.

The delegates will urge sensible caution without leaping to extreme "You're going to fucking die" rhetoric that the fire fighters go on about. The subordinates will be sent to their deaths to prove it.

Sunrise this morning. Fog briefly lifting before burning away.

I think people who knowingly break the law and cause thousands of deaths are murderers. Our Ex PM did this, and the current one covered it up using more criminal behaviour. Australia, we are already in our own Trump era!

Senior Liberal MPs are optimistic a deal can be reached with Labor on a watered-down version of its new nature laws. The Greens said any deal with the Coalition would show the laws have been “written for big business”. Yep. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“CodePink said—that “the resolution, while disguised as a peaceful and humanitarian proposal, is in reality a blueprint for the internationalisation of the Israeli occupation and a complete denial of Palestinian self-determination”.” CodePink is not alone. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/11...

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

It's 2025. The next Federal election isn't due until 2028. The Liberals hold 18 HoR seats (out of 150) and we've got campaign photo-ops of current Liberal Party Leader Sussan Ley, photographed in hi-vis vests with tradies on work sites?! Come on! #auspol #NetZero

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

In a word I would call it "family." ;)

If 'evil' doesn’t even get close, imagine what’s lurking in the boardrooms, cabinets and think-tanks writing the rules we’re forced to live under. Chomsky was being polite... the rest of us don’t have to be.

And hidden from view, 10 million people displaced, in Sudan AND nothing from western governments - ZIP!

Australia's LNP opposition says net zero & renewables will lead to higher power prices & even "wreck the economy". Does any other country dumping coal & developing clean renewable energy say the same thing? Of course not. It's bullshit. LNP picks the line it thinks will appeal to people's pockets.

If they can, they will -> If they can use bullets, they will -> If they can suck the economic life out of you, they will -> If they can buy extreme right governments, they will -> If they can deny climate change, they will 𝐈𝐅 𝐖𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐓 𝐋𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌, 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋

GENOCIDE So what does "peace" in Gaza look like? It looks like GENOCIDE "Peace" was just a device to allow Western governments to slink away and wash their hands Like Australia .. still delivering military equipment (secretly now) to Israel www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/11...

summary: a lot of staples are grown in places where the weather is already marginal. it doesn't have to change much for the outcomes to change wildly. we're the lobster in the slowly warming pot; right now, it feels pretty nice, all this warmth...

the great "unknown unknown" in all of this is agriculture. our food systems are all constructed on a specific kind of climate. make an area - say NW vic where loads of wheat is grown - a lot drier, what will that do to wheat yields? what if it gets wetter? suddenly you have rust and ergot problems.

A little bit of aurora action. Unusual this far north. Must be great down in Tassie.

Monday morning to watch Senator Angus King, an independent who caucuses with Senate Democrats, say on live cable TV the following words: "Standing up to Donald Trump didn't work."

Qld Senator Matt Canavan has tweeted 30+ posts attacking #ClimateAction, #renewables or #NetZero in the last 5 days. He never mentions that business & farmers support climate action. Would it be unfair to ask if he's receiving donations from the fossil fuels industry? 🤔 #auspol

The last time I checked, there were basically three Abrahamic religions, namely— Islam Christianity Judaism. If ANYTHING, America has been ZIONIZED which has absolutely NOTHING TO DO with "religion" and EVERYTHING to do with being RACIST and FASCIST. Ffs. Wake up to yourselves.

That all worked a lot better when Labour were less scared of their own shadow and National weren't a bunch of absolute psychopaths who live for destruction

If we were meant to fly we would have been born with wings. #DefyDogma

Australian Liberal MPs meet today to consider policy on net zero (CO2 pollution) & will later confer with The Nationals partner (who've dropped it). They fear net zero will lead to higher energy prices. They shd instead be looking at real cause of high energy prices & doing something about that.

Israelis generally know even less about the #WestBank atrocities and de facto annexation committed in their name than the rest of us. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/o...

Canada is: a) Giving the US a friendly teabag. b) Flipping the bird. c) Balls deep. d) Suffering shrinkage. e) Implying Trump Is A Dick with nature's help.

Finally, a calm sunny day. Still chilly though.
