"On average, you’ll meet about 80,000 people in your lifetime, but only about 500 to 1500 will be part of your larger social network. Even rarer, you’ll most likely form deep meaningful connections with just 5 to 15 people."

Got me thinking...What do you think?

And yet One Nation has just gone up in the polls...

well its certainly not motivated by using his wealth and position to address the climate crisis his companies have exacerbated and helping to find a way to continue life on earth.

Im hoping for his heart attack as a reward for his self serving tactics...

Senator threatens climate body after nuclear 'carbon bomb' report Additional emissions from adopting the Coalition's nuclear plan equate to 200 years of domestic air travel for Australia, a new analysis from the Climate Change Authority reveals.

Keeping to the Trump playbook, (distract & ignore Science at all costs) Australian Lib senator Jane Hume proposes we sack the head of Australias lead independent Climate Authority becuase he points out consequences of potential PM Dutton's Nuclear Plan.

The Climate Change authority (lead independent body) has pointed out Duttons nuclear "plan" would result in an extra 2Bill tonnes of emissions. Lib senator Jane Hume proposes that the head of said body should be sacked if Libs get in.
Heres some stats on where we're at temp wise...

😍

Eer...no. That would be putting attention to the impacts of Climate Collapse and there's so many shiny things (not in our back yard) to look at! 😪

Im starting to wonder the same. :'(

I just keep remembering Steven Bannons words when Trump got in first time...(paraphrasing here, but something like). "We have destroy society as we know it...there will be complete chaos. Then we rebuild. "
Yeah, right.

yeah, but Im so distracted by all this OTHER stuff being thrown at us, I hardly noticed....

Just like they did for the Referendum...

Geniune question....

Are you smarter now- IE have more code building skills without AI?

Not at all...its not self learning - its being handed to you on a plate to swallow.
No thinking required...
People are currently able to research and confirm or discredit any bias' in (mis)information they find.
Our brain is a muscle that needs to be exercised.

Not true. Ask any university lecturer. It is making us dumber already. At least before if they googled they had to fact check. Think about GPS's...we used to look at a map, picture the route and drive it. Now people literally cant drive without one. (and they often recomend the wrong route!)

"The party’s platform includes reducing immigration, banning trans athletes from women’s sports, and revoking Kevin Rudd’s appointment as U.S. ambassador.
This development follows the deregistration of Palmer’s previous party, the United Australia Party, in late 2022."

This muppet is starting his run.
Like Trump, he couldnt give a hoot about these issues (below) but his base will focus on them+ Distraction is ALL!
Climate Collapse is disrupting society, food & water chains+ threatening life on Earth right now.
This is not a drill. Handle your vote carefully.

Opinion | Don’t Believe Him Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

When someone tells you who they are...listen (but dont believe them!)

Create chaos and slip through the back door

Exactly what the Libs in Australia did in the Voice referendum and what they're planning to do in upcoming federal election using Trumps model.

Something the Australian govt could do too...lets become the (really) smart country.

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Overnight a science superpower

Dutton today on Jews in Australia: "I’ve never seen an element of society ostracised in such a way"

Yeah, that's why they have a much lower life expectancy, earn 25% less than everyone else, and are 17 times more likely to be incarcerated...

Oh wait, no that's another group.. can't think who.

Vote out #MillionaireDutton and his mates.

Reading Tim Winton's novel, Juice brought a degree of satisfaction about those particular oligarchs futures... ;)

"Weak"? The ones who cant be kind are the weak ones. kindness is probably the single most important thing that humans are capable of.

Trump Plans to Order U.S. Exit From World’s Main Climate Pact The United States would be one of only four countries outside the Paris Agreement, which is designed to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

:'(
“Trump’s irresponsibility is no surprise,” said Christiana Figueres, a Costa Rican diplomat and an architect of the Paris Agreement in 2015. “In time, Trump will not be around but history will point to him and his fossil fuel friends with no pardon.”
