Anyway, should probably stop looking at social media while listening to Low's last album.

I’d actually forgotten this. Suspect others may have too. Can as many people as possible please share this so we never forget?

For many years, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef agency has provided weekly briefings throughout summer months. Last year, the briefings consistently downplayed the worst due-off of corals ever recorded. This summer, the briefings have been quietly silenced. And the media sleeps on.

Here's @boganintel.bsky.social first Shot piece for 2025. 'No one feels safe in Zionist Australia'

A few copies of Gunnawah left at Bookgrove in Ocean Grove if anyone is still looking. The owner, when I put it on the counter said “Good choice. Good read”. They’re right next to the door at eye level - first book you see as you go in. @ronnisalt.bsky.social

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.

A more erudite version of my earlier post.

And while I'm swearing on the internet, fuck all those Nazis and their enablers.

Australia has a lot of dumb public holidays, for things many people don't really care about, but at least for the others you generally get left alone if you don't care. This one is the dumbest and of course the one we somehow have to care about the most. Fuck that, there's no pride in genocide.

I'm the first person to crack this library copy. Exciting Fri night coming up

Never Mind the 🇦🇺 Bollocks, Here's the Invasion Day Rallies:

UN says it could take “$500 million over 10 years to clear” unexploded bombs from Gaza. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/hgeadw

Why Albanese is in trouble. New piece from me: nickfeik.substack.com/p/why-albane...

In an time when a lot of crap things are happening in the social policy space, it's important to remember there are also some very good things.

Given the rate at which this planet is going to become uninhabitable, surely a few years of not having to listen to their bullshit isn't too much to ask?

Maybe we could have some kind of international migration amnesty period, where everyone who wants to be an arsehole can all move somewhere,and the rest of us who want equality and kindness can move somewhere else, and then we can all just get on with our lives.

A Labor govt with half a spine would cancel the nuclear submarines and instead budget for: - more emergency services & equip - emergency housing - insurance support - mental health support - climate mitigation

Duck sayings

The world just experienced the first full year in which global temperatures exceeded 1.5C above pre-industrial times, scientists said reut.rs/426s3o8

Monash University has today admitted to a fresh round of wage theft from casual teachers. Australia’s largest uni has underpaid teachers a further $7.6m, taking Monash’s total underpayments to $17.6m since 2021

there's a new "astroturf" (fake grassroots) group in town… #Australians4Prosperity. they're funded by the coal industry, deeply connected to the LNP and they're going to advertise a lot this election. read on 👇

Elon Musk: Why isn’t there enough water in California? Grok (burning through an entire lake to generate an answer): Wokeness

He could of just not, and walked away. But no.

As Israel's war on Gaza continues, days of heavy rains and flooding are making life for displaced Palestinians living in makeshift tents even more dire, according to UNRWA. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage: https://aje.io/kdkcmv

Bit of pesky cloud in the way

I know I'm a bit late to this, but the latest Dirty Three album is really lovely.

I have sychic powers. For example, right now you're thinking, "it's psychic."

Why do birds, suddenly appear, every time, you are near? Just like me, you seem to be, made of seeds.

Again, this is a repost for the joy of going down the whole thread. But in the spirit of it, going for this one, for just how many guitars they use to get the sound. youtu.be/icow4XSk3X8?...

Definitely worth looking at the whole thread

What are we DOING here? We're just meant to sit and act like this insane plagiarism and climate threat that requires more money than anything has ever cost is worth it? Are we meant to pretend that ChatGPT is worth this aimless, meaningless destruction of capital and our environment? For what?

The cool change arriving isn't quite as great when it comes full of smoke 😔

The #ClimateCrisis doesn’t take a break. Events at +1.36°C of long-term heating and a current 12-month running mean of +1.61°C Permanent heating of +1.5°C now imminent. #Australia #Wildfires

That's the smoke from the Gariwerd fire all the way down Geelong way

So looking forward to another summer of this 😑

Anyway, fuck all those fossil fuel apologists and flunkies to weak to say no.
