I wish that would fit on a tshirt.

“They offer sympathy and then just go and approve massive fossil fuel projects anyway.” Bushfire Survivor Serena Joyner www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“Salmon farming companies should pay a royalty to the Tasmanian government for the use of waters which are ‘owned’ by the state government on behalf of the people of Tasmania,” - Saul Eslake Our research shows the tax paid by the three largest salmon farms has been near-zero. More here:

On a really cold and foggy morning, this red-capped robin skipped around. Hard to miss that pop of colour. These are pretty common at Gluepot.

“AFL would do well not to push their luck with a near-broke state..or Tasmanians might begin asking why so much of what little money Tasmania has should continue subsidising the richest entertainment corporation in Australia, the greed of which is so great you have to pay to watch its game..”

“this state of forever beef is a consequence of a societal rot...A cage match is easier to watch than a discussion about who deserves benefits and resources. It is certainly more cathartic than an ideological stalemate about the world we want to build” www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Unprecedented heat in the North Atlantic Ocean kickstarted Europe’s hellish 2023 summer. Now we know what caused it theconversation.com/unprecedente...

Spain has the most hours of free electricity in all of Europe, and also the lowest average electricity price. Solar + wind = saving money Gas + nuclear = wasting money

#auspol Our ceo spoke to the Guardian about how climate impacted feel about the federal government continuing to approve massive fossil fuel projects. Betrayed. Gaslit. Disgusted. Ignored.

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.

Even though I must have thousands of photos of spiny-cheeked honeyeaters by now, I just can't resist them. They are such characters and the camera just loves them. At Gluepot Reserve last weekend.

A flotilla with 12 selfless people is bound for Gaza to break the siege. While the West looks away, Palestinians starve and die under blockade. Let's look at the fault lines of empire through Pankaj Mishra, @benjaminmoser.bsky.social and @willdalrymple.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/ezgibasa...

"Land-clearing is increasing...about 45,000 hectares of savanna habitat was destroyed between 2000 and 2020...equivalent to an area roughly the size of 22,500 MCGs." Read about our new report, The State and Future of the Northern Territory’s Savannas 👉 theconversation.com/the-top-ends...

Out today in Nature, our paper on the drivers of the record 2023 summer heating of the North Atlantic. Temperatures warmed to record levels in just a few months. The impacts on climate & ecosystems were severe. A thread on how this work came about and what we found.👇👇🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just a stunning verification of everything that's so wrong about AI

This should be a no brainer.

Palestinian Red Crescent details medic’s account of 15 colleagues’ slaughter

Barbara Plett Usher reports that Israel has bombed a school sheltering displaced families. Bombing a school packed with civilians because you've previously forced them from their homes? Israel is terrorist state.

"Its the fourth day in a row that people queuing for food have been attacked" A report by Hind Khoudary on Israel murdering starving Palestinians trying to collect food.

White people celebrating Ukrainian resistance while calling Palestinian resistance "terrorism" is all you ever need to know about the state of the world in the year 2025

Come and get it #auspol25 #USPolitics #UKPolitics x.com/hashtag/ausp...

I mean who would have thought?

#EmotionalSupportSpood A little jumping spider hanging out on the end of a dead branch. I've moved a few of these friends the last few days - from the recycling bin and my aunt's car. Such cool little dudes. (Eris sp.) Eastern PA

This was a bad decision @albomp.bsky.social One that will be held against you for decades. It will come back to bite you every time you try to claim the high moral ground on climate change. www.smh.com.au/business/the...

Tasmanian salmon is disgusting

First rule of owl detecting: whenever you find some interesting looking scat on the ground, always look up. #brisbane #birds #wildoz

It is here.

Straya! Where they starve social services and refuse to tax fossil fuel.

Would you like some fish with your antibiotics?

This regime kills people queuing for aid, after forcing them to choke points by starvation. We must end the two way arms trade and introduce sanctions. Free Palestine.

Day 603 of the war on Gaza and journalists still seem to be having trouble with the basic five W’s of reporting. Who? What? When? Why? How? For a reason I cant quite put my finger on, they keep burying the lead: Who is doing this? How did the guns fire? And why were they waiting for food?

💊 1133 kg of antibiotics (yep, more than a tonne!) is a lot in anyone's language. Especially large when that's what was used by one company in just four #salmon cages during the recent disease outbreak in #Tasmania. Could antibiotic over-use by salmon farms be creating 'superbugs'? #politas #auspol

Incredible, wonderful news: biodiversitycouncil.org.au/news/first-l...

Go out and buy Ben & Jerry's icecream. 'The board of Ben & Jerry’s, the ice cream company founded by two progressive Jews, is reportedly calling Israel’s war in Gaza a “genocide” in a new statement'. They are correct. #Gaza #Genocide

‘This decision is a capitulation to one of the most powerful fossil fuel companies operating in Australia today: Woodside,’ writes Carmen Lawrence #ClimateCrisis #auspol
