According to this article, there’s emerging evidence the Dead Internet Theory is no longer just a conspiracy theory.

In 2024, bots made up 51% of internet traffic, overtaking humans.

Does that mean The Dead Internet Theory needs a rebrand, or are there other theory types it could fall under?

Oh! Good to know. Thanks!

You clearly like numbers!

What are your thoughts on this one: australiainstitute.org.au/report/fossi...

I'm reading Dr Joëlle Gergis’ Quarterly Essay:

💰 In 2022, governments poured US$7 trillion into fossil fuel subsidies — enough to cover adaptation and clean energy, with spare change.

Good morning Bluesky friends, it's a new day...

Pauline Hanson has claimed Labor does not have a mandate for net zero because only "35 per cent" voted 1 for them. This is nonsense. Once you include Greens, teals and others who are more pro climate action than Labor the combined primary is over 50%.

The practice of a seller destroying a product someone has already paid for represents a radical assault on consumer rights.

If this practice does not stop, it may be codified into law and spread to more products over time, such as agricultural equipment, educational products, medical devices, etc.

Across the internet in recent weeks, influencers, streamers and video game fans have been calling for laws to "stop killing games". This is what to know about the movement.

Australia is the world's largest coal exporter and a top gas exporter, and a UNSW study has concluded Australia is second globally for emissions from fossil fuel exports.

It is time for the Australian Government to admit we can’t insure our way out of the climate crisis.

It is impossible to get insurance against likely events, and climate disasters are becoming more and more likely.

AI is an invention that makes a lot of money for the company pocket, and also requires the public purse to monitor it and put in safeguards.

Perhaps we are already working with a "badly specified objective"?

This quote from Stan Grant's article seems particularly relevant today:

"News doesn't like triumph. It feasts on suffering."

This quote is a little more uplifting:

"No one reads yesterday's headlines. But we return to the poets."
