Conservation and pleasure at the complexities of the natural world we are imperiling! Our political duopoly is the WWE, pure theatre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

It's WWE politics. They go out and slam each other on padded floors to amuse the punters and then go out the back, have a beer together and laugh at the public.
It's always pale oclock.
Crazy wet weather in Adelaide has seen weed growth not seen for 30 years on this property - but the natives plants are going nuts too. Einadia nutans more fruit than ive ever seen - and the Eutaxia with more seeds that you would think possible. This is climate instability though.

The irony about AI is that it will steal our job, hike our electric bill, spy on us, yet we will still be forced to bail it out once the AI stock market bubble bursts.

..maybe something terrible should happen to AI data centres 💣
I've been trying not to comment while getting over the initial change because people are change averse - but it's still sh1t!
My mind goes straight to guillotine.

You've heard of 'dumbing down', right?

What we are seeing in the USA today is the penultimate outcome of dumbing down:

The nation has elected Donald Duck as its President.

Given what's happened so far, I can't begin to imagine what the ultimate outcome will be.
The precedent here is utterly horrifying. How long until anyone out of favour with the US president might get terminated?

Donald Trump's demolition of the East Wing is perfect symbolism:

This is a wrecking ball presidency.

No climate trigger, more coal and gas, more extinctions and watered down environment laws being negotiated with the Coalition. Labor is helping fuel the extinction, climate and biodiversity crises.
More Aus Dud Farce alumni into the stinking pile of corruption known as the NACC. Wonder if this one knows the definition of corruption in the act unlike Brereton.

Plug-in hybrid cars are essentially a massive fossil fuel demand protection scam enacted on well-meaning consumers trying to do the right thing

The gap between reported and real emissions is just utterly bonkers - new @transenvuk.bsky.social study here

It’s like the Morrison government never left. People need to wake up, as long as they keep voting for the two major parties things are not going to get better. If anything it will get worse.
This is not good - our SA blue gums lost all their leaves during the drought and didnt flower this year - now the Koalas are scrounging the few new shoots. The trees have no old leaves to keep them going. A broken environment and nothing you can do for the wildlife.
The majority we got was quite slow so good absorption. Hope yours was too.
Yeah it's shit here, stay away!! (lessons learned from Jon Kudelka)

Why was David Marr so obsessed that Chris Hedges' tour was being organised by an anti-genocide advocacy group, but not at all concerned that the National Press Club is sponsored by the wealthiest, most complicit genocide enabling weapons manufacturers in the entire world? 🤷‍♂️

This will all be for nothing if remediation of the skate's habitat isn't undertaken. The federal Labor government, in changing the law, has allowed salmon farming to expand in Macquarie Harbour. Despite these breeding efforts it's likely the Maugean Skate is headed for extinction. #politas #auspol
Yeah but 80 percent of billionaires profits comes from fossil fuels so that’s a sacrifice of other peoples lived they are willing to make.

Just listened to the ABC interview. Is every single person in Aussie legacy media determined to make absolute dicks of themselves? Some sort of office bet? Let's do better next genocide, folks. Read real books, don't put IDF says in headlines, no junkets to Tel Aviv, etc, WTAF

How long are we going to keep pretending that the fascist Trump regime is not a cabal of Nazis? Texts from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, reveal vile pro-Nazi and racist messages targeting Black people, Chinese people, and Indian people. 👇
The duopoly will kill us all if it serves their personal profit!
