Art or Scribbles? In the Eye of the Beholder: The Evolutionary Emergence of Visual Communication
This book descibes the origin and evolution of art and that art consists of relationships between people. It challenges the standard definitions of art

Can anyone join me in stopping people leaving their cars with the engines running while the are stopped. I know they want to leave the air-conditioning on for the kids, but don't they realise that if they go away from the car it might be stolen and those nice cool kids kidnapped. Oh, and emissions

One of the things we have got to do is to convince people that we have two responsibilities in Australia (and anywhere really). The first is to make sure we minimise our own footprint--reduce our emissions. The second is to enable others to do so by not extracting fossil fuels and exporting them.

Ditching net zero abandons Aussie farmers like me www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025... #auspol
Clearly you are in the minority in the knucklehead-filled New England electorate, as is the case in many other country electorates. Is it something in the (lack of) water?
Ditching net zero abandons Aussie farmers like me
When politicians say they’re against net zero, they’re willing to let their constituents suffer record-breaking floods, droughts and heat.

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:

His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

Breaking: Canadian Prime Minister and Alberta Premier sign deal that will quash Indigenous rights, provoke a wave of backlash and opposition unlike anything every seen in Canada, and roll back big climate protections to benefit a handful of foreign owned oil and gas companies.

The problem is that the way Albanese is going, there is a real chance that they could win in 2028 based on a promise to implement the policies they espouse. Unlike the ALP.

Albanese is a disgrace. He should level with the Australian people and honestly describe how the environmental reforms will help the environment. Then, how it proposes to balance the phasing out of fossil fuels with realistic improvements to the atmosphere. But with honesty

The best way for Barnaby Joyce to contribute to rural Australia would be to resign his seat immediately and let us vote a representative.

Australia Institute:
"the public voted for climate action at the last election and the Opposition are tanking in the polls. Labor has all it needs to do the right thing by Australians."

Except for the fact that he's been bought by the fossil fuel industry. No other reason.

The EPBC Act changes are nowhere near perfect, but there have been some important improvements to the pretty shite original bill.

Good on the govt for negotiating with the Greens to deliver something not completely shit.

Maybe think on doing a bit more of that?

Just follow up that story about prostate cancer. Just listed my urologist, Dr Peter Chong, in Lake Macquarie. Delighted to say that a year after the operation my PSA is negligible. Cancer free. Every malle over 60 should have regular tests. Thanks Dr Chong

Sen. Mark Kelly on MS NOW: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times … My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head, six people killed around her … We know what political violence is.  And we know what causes it, too."
