"There's a word for someone who sells out fellow workers for quick cash. That word is scab. And if these artists say, “Oh, I can use AI to make something interesting,” well, I can also make something interesting by painting park benches with radium. I don't, because I'm not a sociopath. Moving on."

We are being robotdebted everywhere. The Australian labor government is failing efficiently. Meaning it is moving fast and breaking things and they didn't even need Musk, that's how good they are!

This is Karl the Fly River turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) at the San Antonio Zoo, enjoying his bubbler. Fly River turtles are also known as pig-nosed turtles, or 'Warrajan' in the Kundjeyhmi language of Northern Australia, where they are native. Let's talk about what makes Karl's species unique.

The Brisbane Olympics are a despicable endeavour. The Olympics are providing extra cover to our institutions' racist agenda and leaving us all poorer with the obvious exception of developers.

I've listened to three separate podcasts about the way batteries, demand flexibility and grid utilisation for data centres and *not a single one* addresses the question of whether these things actually erase the emissions / climate impact of data centre growth. The focus is solely on power prices

Just in case we weren't clear enough on the plea of fossil fuels companies for rapid AI data centre deployment to prevent the stranding of their assets. Let's not build AI infrastructure just to keep these planet killing guys in business. #AIMoratoriumnow!

Your yearly reminder that student debt will increase by over $1 billion today, as students and graduates already struggling with skyrocketing uni fees and the cost of living crisis are hit with 2.8% indexation.

Mainstream news media is NOT reporting the news. It's presenting a packaged propaganda narrative with an agenda. (This includes Australia's ABC News.) #auspol #USPolitics #UKPolitics #journalism Image: @usagiboots.bsky.social

ABC just openly running Israeli propaganda pieces now 🤦‍♂️ www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

"NOAA needs to once again raise the y-axis range."

Israel now occupies more of Lebanon than Russia occupies of Ukraine. But of course that's a 'good' invasion. So there is silence.

💥 "Israeli soldiers slapped me, kicked me, broke my coccyx, bound & sexually assaulted me... they tore off my pants & underwear, inserted a hand... to other people they inserted weapons."

The rise of a political organisation with no policy framework and an appeal based solely on disgruntlement and prejudice says nothing good about routine politics … but perhaps more importantly the political media’s determination to report politics as reality TV.

The @albomp.bsky.social govt, demonstrating 'All in' for National Reconciliation Week

The cops came in at 1am to force the Goori Camp to move and leave the sacred fire. This will always be the legacy of the Brisbane 2032 Olympics - violence against First Nations People, destruction and desecration

Come down to Barrambin and the Goori Camp Embassy and tell BCC and the QLD gov to take their Olympics and shove it. They have had to bypass 15+ pieces of legislation and Aboriginal cultural heritage protections to approve these stadiums. They made a park freehold & handed it over #qldpol #auspol

Big crowd at Goori Camp Embassy - come down to Barrambin to stand with land defenders against destructive and dispossessive Olympics development on sacred land www.savevictoriapark.com/submission

Final hours to sign the submission www.savevictoriapark.com/submission

There are birthing sites here. There are burial sites here. There are meeting sites here. There is a sacred spring here. The QLD gov and Brisbane City Council are using the Olympics to justify settler colonial violence and destruction

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

The last 10 years in a nutshell: Nazi: I’m a Nazi! Media: Outspoken Man Touts Unconventional Ideas Nazi: No, I’m just a Nazi. Media: Meet the Dapper White Nationalist Who— Nazi: No, seriously! I’m quoting Mein Kampf! I love Hitler! Media: Why Both Sides Have an Extremist Problem.

🎯 Landlords and real estate have been in a feeding frenzy, turbocharged by a media that love to tell us that their behaviour is logical because costs, markets and low supply rather than outright greed. Rent freeze now and for a long time, like years. Also...

That's the first thing I read on here today and that felt so good and right. Got a smile on my face. And am going outside I hope it feels that way for you too

This please, over and over again. Energy efficiency, Everywhere, All at once!

Voyager 1 has been travelling now for almost 50 years at a speed of 17,000 metres per second. In November it will reach a point one light day from earth. And it's still talking to us.

We are so not ready for any of this

HEY EVERYONE - I've got a new report out today! It's with @greenpeaceap.bsky.social and it just an absolutely huge and lovely exploration of - False claims of renewable energy use - Growing links bw tech and gas - Our call for a moratorium (!!) Read it here! www.greenpeace.org.au/greenpeace-r...

Israeli MINISTER Yitzhak Wasserlauf is telling soldiers to "SEIZE BABIES" in Gaza and "DASH them against the ROCKS".

Climate Catastrophe Momentous global shifts are underway due to climate change ... to the Earth's rotation! Melting ice, ground water depletion and changes to the Water Cycle - they're all factors in changing the speed of rotation www.sciencefocus.com/news/unprece...

I must be missing something, do we really believe that plugin solar is going to accelerate the transition or meaningfully reduce inequalities or make a dent on energy providers abuse? We have so much work to do and am afraid this ain't a meaningful part of it

Perfect illustration of the problem with time of use tariffs, the households benefiting have a battery to charge. For households like apartment dwellers, renters or low income without the means or agency to have batteries, they are more likely to be punitive and expensive. The rich get richer...

Famously, if you force Airbnb's out of your city it hurts the local toilet paper supplier and the soaps.

No one in Australia is getting free power unless they have their own solar panels. Energy providers have offers that look like this: 11am to 2pm $0/kWh All other times $0.4-0.6/kWh This benefits battery owners. All this does is increase inequality and energy poverty is growing!

They found mass graves at Nasser hospital with babies and children ziptied and buried alive. 180 people.

We have to do this adaptation thing real fast. Europe is breaking record heat right now, when El Niño happens (likely a rather big one this year), Australia is literally going to cook...

🧵A months-long investigation by Al Jazeera found that military-related goods from at least 51 countries and self-governing territories continued to enter Israel even after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.

Speaking as a 40 year payg patsy … this entitled ‘how dare you tax my capital gains’ crew can drive on someone’s else’s roads. And use someone else’s hospitals. Etc. what a crock this debate is.

SOUTH African imported Segal doesn't care about fellow Australians because she isn't one. She works for Israel.

"While Ben-Gvir may be the most provocative & brazen of Israel’s current leaders, the truth is that he’s in good company – and not only in the political sphere. His ideological spirit can increasingly be felt among the country’s youth, in its police & army, & at the top of its security agencies."

ICYMI last month we did a quick @drilledmedia.bsky.social 3-episode miniseries on 200-ish years of fossil fascism, starting with this episode: open.spotify.com/episode/0md3...

Huhhh where do we go from here?

Welcome to the failed state.

Do you run faster if you shoot yourself in the foot in the middle of a race?

We can stop the Royal Commission. We found the cause of anti-Semitism.

"Ben-Gvir is not a rogue element. He exemplifies modern Israel, its government, and its callous disregard for humanity and basic human rights." @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social & @scottmitchell.bsky.social But apart from ABC's Matthew Doran, media are pushing hasbara. www.lamestream.com.au/australian-m...
