It’s not the Coalition stopping the Labor government taking real action on climate and pretty much anything else. It is timid Anthony Albanese with no vision, no energy and no intention to use Labor’s huge mandate and majority to modernise Australia with real progressive and transformative policies.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.
Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

For years, I was told my unemployment was a personal failing. I was an economic pariah, a ghost in the machine of the Australian Dream. 👻
They tell you the system is a fair race. It's not. It’s a game of musical chairs, and the government is deliberately taking chairs away.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

As long as fossil fuels exist, offsets will exist
