The impact of Israels genocide is still playing out in Gaza and the West Bank. US funds and weapons flow to the ZioNazi State unabated. The West still prop up the murderous regime.
Palestinians left without shelter after Gaza tent cities flood again
Heavy rain has caused significant flooding in Gaza, with thousands of Palestinians living in tents bearing the brunt of the sudden burst of winter weather.

Extract from Jack Toohey’s book on how we have got it all wrong with real estate financialisation rather than productivity and research.

“Aust finds itself in a paradox. Passive property ownership appears more financially rewarding than productive work…distorted reward system”.

Last night @davidpocock.bsky.social and I read onto the Hansard an interview by the President of Nauru that the Albanese Government has been desperately trying to keep secret.

It shows Nauru plans to send refugees to places they fled. No wonder the secrecy.

Hi @bsky.app

If you want this to be a global platform, how about trending topics reflecting the other 96% of the world's population?

The domination of this site by American news and American topics is one of its greatest drawbacks

Hell, even old Elon manages to get this right

If Pauline Hanson wasn’t racist and was genuinely concerned about the dangers of people covering their faces then why doesn’t she ever speak up about these scumbags?

"For 70 years, the packaging industry has led advertising and lobbying campaigns that trained us to see waste as an individual failing and a municipal responsibility, rather than a design flaw in the market system itself."

How the plastics industry shifted responsibility for recycling onto you, the consumer
Only 9% of plastics ever made have been recycled. Clever industry campaigns have shifted the costs of their own waste onto consumers.

But they knew all along that recycling is not the answer.

"… internal industry research showed they knew large-scale plastics recycling was neither technically feasible nor economically viable. "

Seems like an old story. Tobacco knew smoking caused cancer. Oil/Gas/Coal knew CO₂ was dangerous…

The story of recycling is not one of public apathy but of institutional design. It’s a story of how industries used moral narratives to deflect responsibility.

Citizens do the work, municipalities pay for it, and corporations keep the profits. To fix the system, we must first rewrite that story
