Opinion | "For the Coalition and commercial media, Muslim Australians are second-class citizens. Their pain is mocked as fabricated. Their grief is derided as innately racist. Their fears are denied as fictitious," writes @keanebernard.bsky.social.

word-for-word quote, nothing is changed, Story In Three Parts: “[Kelly’s] trans friend who’s here on Bluesky did this but wants to stay anonymous because the gop would try to go after her”

Only the finest of formal wear for the Tuxedo Bug. (Technically called a "mud cricket" for reasons literally no one understands.)

I'll be happy when Elon finds out that #Bluesky has exactly 81,283,501 users. And he can't play with the cool kids.

Love to see it: More environmental kayaktivism!

Just imagine if the Albanese government had gone ahead with proposed ‘truth in political advertising’ legislation instead of taking the cowardly ‘appease Murdoch’ option… Karma is coming for this cowardice.

I can't quite figure it out, but every time I see one of these driving on the road I'm reminded of Laura Loomer.

I'm not ready for outraged clutching pearls offended rightwing over Australia Day, can we stick to triggered outrage over the war on Christmas first, please?

Many thanks to readers for pointing me to this. It confirms that the four accounts I blocked over the last two days were all disbots—disagreement bots—programmed to stiffly, politely, but somewhat unreasonably disagree with benign assertions. A foreign op is possible, yes, but also a commercial one.

New article: "We estimate that less than 16% of the carbon credits issued to the investigated projects constitute real emission reductions... Carbon crediting mechanisms need to be reformed fundamentally to meaningfully contribute to climate change mitigation." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Tasmania - when the government says it cannot afford to fix the housing crisis or protect our environment, just remind them they are paying $47,534 a week to park a ship in Edinburgh because the port here won't be built till 2027. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

Look at the face of this kid gang-gang cockatoo - like a smiling pin cushion 🦔🌿🦜🪶

Excellent data gathering exercise.

How about we evacuate all the women from Taliban-held areas and let the lads have their 'utopia' for the next ... 6 months before it falls to complete shit.

Why was 2023 so hot, in a way that shocked even climate scientists? New research suggests it was a peculiar lack of low-lying clouds. Why so few clouds? They're not sure! Will it persist? They're not sure! Comforting. www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

"Current climate policies put half a million species at risk of extinction" Ho hum. www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

It is as Brett Christophers foretold: in Sweden, they've got so much clean energy installed that energy has become incredibly cheap ... which is discouraging investment in the remaining clean energy needed to decarbonize the economy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
