This is more of a placeholder. I have been trying to warn about our unpreparedness for the impacts, of climate change, biodiversity and ecological collapse, for many decades. It is poorly understood, even amongst many scientists in the area. www.theguardian.com/environment/... 1/🧵

For the past 25 years there has never been a national security law that has done anything other than to give more power to cops and spooks and to ministers to stifle anyone who disagrees with the status quo.

The "K" shaped economy is due to decades of regressive policy. Folks doing well are doing so by taking from those not doing so well. There's no wealth creation, just policy induced theft. The super high profits needed to stay afloat in bis is also due to bad economics. Finance is massive, and costly

Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar... You can't tell me that's just a coincidence.

“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” – Frederick Douglass

A Nicolas Cage-themed shrine is the latest of a series of celebrity-themed pranks that Mount Gambier's deputy mayor says have befallen his home in recent weeks.

@icegov.bsky.social you look like you owe child support

The Greens are again urging the Malinauskas Government to investigate these claims of political interference. The allegations that public servants have been told to stall investigations into the toxic algal bloom in order to protect the political interests of Labor are shocking.

God dammit, I just realized that the real motivation for the simultaneous push for GrokPorn and Smart Glasses is because these assholes have spent their whole lives dreaming of X-Ray specs, and they are seizing their moment. I would not be so mad if I was joking.

If not you could always ask for a FIFA Oscar

crazy to think how i struggle to ask for any kind of help but the president of the united states asks "can i have your nobel peace prize?"

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

The classy move would have been to give Machado the FIFA Peace Prize in return.

"Last night, Prisoners for Palestine announced the end of their hunger strike as Elbit Systems UK was denied a crucial government contract, a key demand of the strike. 22-year-old Umer Khalid is still on strike." #UK #HungerStrike #Palestine

We'll say it again: "social cohesion", when uttered by the holders of political and social power and privilege, means simply the maintenance of the dominant culture and silencing of any challenge to it.

For all those racists who, at this time of year especially, think First Nations Peoples get everything for free

@dlew919.bsky.social you should check out this book- there’s a Lady Mondegreen! www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

Every Australian politician who has dragged their feet on emissions reductions is cordially invited to spend the upcoming 44°C day in Sydney’s western suburbs in a two-bedroom flat without air conditioning.

Let’s have a Royal Commission into how Israel can continue to get away with crimes against humanity. Cmon Australian media. ABC. @albomp.bsky.social www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/...

"..these positions often simplify complex economic realities and risk damaging Australia’s social fabric and long-term prosperity. John Howard’s changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing, together with inadequate supply, have more to do with the housing crisis..

This is the funniest thing that's ever happened on Threads.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

With this regime anything is possible…

When people argue that renewable energy sources are too expensive, remember that we don’t invade countries to seize wind farms and there are no solar cartels. Fossil fuels have enormous geopolitical, public health, and climate externalities.

Seth Harp: 'The unit that abducted President Nicolas Maduro was Delta Force, an organization filled with cokeheads and pervaded by drug trafficking. You can bet that the only narcotics involved were the ones that they were on.'

Not to diminish for a nanosecond the devastation of anti semitism and the tragedy of the lives lost at Bondi however I don’t see business leaders and the opposition frothing about endless indigenous deaths in custody or the national domestic violence crisis. This entire episode is confounding.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Fuck it I don’t care anymore

"If someone's liberation bothers you, then you likely benefit from their oppression." Australia benefits from Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza and its violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Our govts and mainstream news media support oppression. 😔 #auspol #FreePalestine
