Retired armchair philosopher/historian/educator 🇦🇺 Woke AF...do no harm but take no sh*t! Not fragile like a flower...fragile like a bomb (RBG) When faced with two theories to explain anything, the wise person should ALWAYS choose the funniest 😊

...because there's ALWAYS a Douglas Adams 'Hitchhikers Guide to
the Galaxy' quote that sums up the current zeitgeist perfectly 🌏

"There is a theory which states that if ever
anyone discovers exactly what the Universe
is for and why it is here, it will instantly
disappear and be replaced by something
even more bizarre and inexplicable. There
is another theory which states that this has
already happened"

We regret to inform you that Kim Kardashian has launched a range of thongs styled with fake pubic hair. It’s the satirists we feel sorry for

We had to triple check the source of this story, because – well, you can surely see why. Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS (we see what she did, there) clothing brand has launched a range of thongs – the undies,...

I felt this needed some work, @senatorwong.bsky.social, to ensure it bore at least some kind of relationship to the truth. You're welcome. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust #WTAF

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

The ‘Anthropological Change’ Happening in Venezuela

Maduro is still in place, but a pro-democracy movement is transforming the beleaguered country.

Hey lovelies: here's part 2 of my @crikey.com.au series on Meta's massive new effort to wildly worsen their climate damage but mask that by lobbying to change the way emissions are measured.

IT IS EXTREMELY SNEAKY

Inside Meta's fight to change climate reality... all so it can frantically expand a risky AI program

Everyone is ignoring the science on what Meta’s generative AI investment really costs, even though there's no evidence of a single, significant societal benefit.

Greta Thunberg “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.”

Stand with Greta, stand with humanity.

Greta Thunberg provides the perspective that most western media will not:

It’s not about a few hundred foreign nationals being mistreated by Israel for a few days.

It’s about the #GazaGenocide, deliberate denial of aid, and Israel’s flagrant breaches of international law.

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

Dr. Jane Goodall discusses who she'd send away from Earth on Elon Musk's spaceship.

*Spoiler* Elon Musk, Netanyahu and Donald Trump were her top 3 picks.
