Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:

1. 1929 (the Great Depression)

2. 1987 (Black Monday)

3. 2008 (the Great Recession)

4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY

And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

This is Yale Professor Timothy Snyder, who studies authoritarians and tyranny, with a warning.

He and another Yale professor, Jason Stanley, who studies similar topics at Yale, are moving to Canadian universities, a result of the political and academic climate here.

Meta-analysis confirms what is well known: cattle kept on pastures (grazing or hay) have a bigger climate impact than those kept indoors & given concentrate feed (but animal welfare is usually better). The bigger land use for grazing also often impacts biodiversity (though not examined in the paper)

“We found that from 2016-21, there were significant increases in crevasse volume across fast-flowing sectors of the Greenland ice sheet. In the southeast […] an area that has been particularly vulnerable to ocean-induced acceleration and retreat in the past few years, crevasse volume increased 25%”

The Perfumed Warlord always was, and still is, a dangerous, US arse-licking, liability for Australia.

One wall in his Parl House office is entirely devoted to the USA, he even has a US flag there too.

His dickheaded devotion to the USA is both deluded and dangerous.

Trump’s 25% steel & aluminum tariffs will hit Aussie exports, raising costs & reducing U.S. demand.

But don’t worry Defence Minister Marles (aka ‘Idiot Dick’) will probably hand over the rest of WA too.

He’s already given him everything else bar the kitchen sink.

We MUST stop investing our trust in existing governing systems to solve this polycrisis

These systems caused the crisis. They cannot solve it.

These systems ARE the crisis

It’s well past time to withdraw our consent from them and cultivate the new world in which we can survive and thrive together
