As much as I hate the algorithm, I am quite chuffed with myself that my IG shares critical thinking book recommendations; YT recommends scientific innovations to information about new tech. I did that! I trained the algorithm to get me hooked on learning rather than rotting.

April reading wrap-up (a little late whoops): I actually had a good month. āPemi Agudaās Ghostroots blew me away with every story. Shokoās Smile was another close contender. My main goal this year is to add more non-fiction this year. Expand my critical thinking.

This is not new news. Weāve known for 50+ years how to do this⦠the fossil fuel industry have spent billions of $$ to create dissent and mistrust in renewables for a reason. Cos it is far more economical and ecological to invest in green energies. But they donāt care about that

Thereās been a massive road accident near my place. For awhile I could hear sirens coming from everywhere. Once I heard the helicopter ambulance I knew it was bad. Iāve seen a picture. Itās not nice. There is someone fighting for their life today. And all I can think is that capitalism is to blame

Without a 25% tax on gas exports, Australians are missing out on billions of dollars in revenue. That's billions of dollars Australians aren't getting for gas that belongs to them, that could be going to essential services.

The way the Aus gas propaganda machine is trying to scare you that if we tax foreigners entities 25% then the whole of Ausā manufacturing & babies in hospitals will die. This is a lie. A 25% tax on these exports ~$65B comes back into the community which will go into social services, such as Medicare

Just finished: I canāt say I loved this book, I didnāt hate it, itās beautifully written about the complexities of relationships and how we evolve and change, often adjacent, well, askew to our partners⦠I suppose I was hoping for a bit more weird. Overall, itās a lovely book.

Iran is not giving up and quite frankly they are hurting the west right where it hurts, their wallets. As much as I am mad about petrol prices, I also have to commend Iran for fucking with these billionaire bought maniacal western governments.

Iām not sure why Iām bothering posting this. I struggled to read this month. The state of the world keeps me in a perpetual state of anxiety. I guess Klein talks about the shadow world. And Green points out that disease mitigation, or lack of, is wholly due to the global north allowing it to exist.
