It's coming along. Some of the cuts and chips are too deep to sand out, but they add character (🤣). Needs to dry out and then get some food safe oil into it.

Why do I get the feeling, the fragile ego blustering bullshit machine, #Trump, is likely to start a European conflict by shooting down Russian aircraft, do a TACO, and walk away from Europe and NATO leaving them to clean up yet another of his messes? Is he still after the Nobel Peace Prize?

Pop science. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Deakin University Professor Euan Ritchie slammed the target as "grossly inadequate" and said it would jeopardise the survival and wellbeing of Australians. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/907378...

Sensible? My @smh @theage cartoon.

Please also note Mike Godwin wrote a second Godwin's Law that applies to Trump and the MAGAts.

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . Bagram Air Base was built by the Soviet Union in the 1950s. What an idiot.

“Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and more deadly than left-wing violence − what the data shows” theconversation.com/right-wing-e...

The NW Climate Adaptation Science Center recently convened 100 scientists & managers to synthesize what's known and unknown about the ecological impacts of the 2021 PNW heat wave, and what can be done to manage risks from extreme heat events. Products now available! 👇 nwcasc.uw.edu/programs/act...

The hit piece commissioned because they were scared of our ad:

Labor’s decision is an affront to science and proving a safe and liveable future for people and communities.

FFS Another superficial meta-study on the impact of #invasivepredators by #compassionateconservationists who really should leave biology and ecology to others who are more objective. #Correlation is not #causation and #meta-studies are barely indicative of reality. #cat #extinction #poorscience

I repost this because this can happen anywhere in the world, in my country, and in the country of my heritage (100 years after it began and drove it to disaster).

Tomorrow I’m crossing the continent on my way to Bridgetown for Grounded Australia. I’ll be giving two talks—spreading the good word on mistletoe and discussing why productive farmland is crucial for safeguarding wildlife populations groundedaustralia.com.au

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks. Joy Reid nailed it.

Nailed it @cathywilcox.bsky.social

This is a fair point.

A typical process of events - warnings of environmental damage which began decades ago, #discounted, #dismissed, #deflected, scientists attacked and vilified, all by the #resourcesector, the #agriculturalsector, #communities, #governments and #regulators... until the damage directly impacts on them.

UPDATE: Our ad has been pulled. While the Daily Telegraph and Herald Sun talk about freedom of speech all the time, they've decided that they won't be proceeding with our ad tomorrow. We still hope they will run our ad at a later date, because we need to broadcast the message, end the genocide!

This is how you do it @wamuseum.bsky.social and Universities.

The mainstream media’s response to political violence reveals who they believe deserves remembrance and who they’re willing to forget. From Kirk to Hortman: The media’s double standard on political violence ~ @drvicfielding.bsky.social

I’ve written about media’s double standard in reporting political violence, comparing their wall to wall coverage - and legitimisation - of Charlie Kirk to their muted and quickly forgotten coverage of Melissa Hortman’s assassination. It’s media inequality. independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

Shameful!

Very good point.

Donald Trump will forever be Putin's bitch

I know Threatened Specie Day has just gone, but I can't hold it back anymore. Why the hell are we wasting time putting up a few species who on their own are inconsequential? It would be more factual and realistic to just post a list of every known species for The next Threatened Species Day.

The problem is, a civil war is exactly what the Cult of the Orange Cockwomble wants. This is why the national guard has been located wherever there may be a flashpoint against Trump. He will use them to kill USA citizens under the pretext they are trying to overturn his authoritarian regime.

No one should have murdered Charlie Kirk. No one should lower their flag for Charlie Kirk. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn't clear (although he's probably mentally unstable--duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

They are not #neo-Nazis, they are the same tired old inane child-grooming cult members of 90 years ago who still think they have something to contribute. They are Nazis, not neo-Nazis, just the same worthless ignorant Nazis of yesteryear and which caused a war where millions died because of them.
