In Australia, the fossil fuel backed conservative parties are whipping up public opposition to renewables projects using misinformation. They are organised and effective. They are exploiting good people by feeding them lies and organising them against renewable projects.
How anger at the rollout of renewables is being hijacked by a new pro-nuclear network
An alliance of political groups is harnessing real fears about the local impact of renewables projects across Australia – and using them to spruik nuclear power

The people who can least afford it are being punished because big business is price gouging. Nice one.
“Profit gouging, supply shortages, climate change, all these things [are driving inflation]. Putting up interest rates won’t deal with that, but it’ll make life worse,”

In 1964 well before the internet, Marshall McLuhan claimed that “the medium is the message”. The #medium of #media has change significantly since 1964. #Socialmedia provides a system of “tools” that structure information exchange and shape meaning. Bluesky is headed in the right direction.

I’m here for the revolution. The big platforms serve nothing but garbage and ads. Viva a la Bluesky and stuff the billionaires.
The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Over 100 countries back plastic treaty caps as talks reach fierce finish

I am an aspiring Social Impact Producer living in Australia. Currently studying a Masters in Creative Industries. I might be looking in the wrong places, but I’m struggling to find a #documentary #filmmaking #community on Bluesky. I will start a list once I find a few people to follow. Thanks!
