Four frames. In each, a man is reclining in an armchair, feet up, while television is on. 1. TV newsreader: “The latest climate risk assessment says without drastic greenhouse emission reduction, we can expect…” (man snoozes) 2. TV shows bushfire “…a large increase in deaths from heat stress, more coastal flooding, storms and extreme weather events…” (man snoozes) 3. TV shows waves crashing on coastal house “…sea level rises will displace coastal dwellers and inhabitants of nearby island states, and…” (man snoozes) 4. TV shows house with arrow pointing down and $BILLIONS) “…our property values could fall by as much as $611 billion…” Man on chair wakes and gasps.

Priorities.

At a cafe today a young mother at a table opposite mine enjoyed a quiet coffee while her baby slept in her arms and no one around her could stop smiling.

Single frame. Title: Exodus. Trail of humanity bearing their belongings streams from distant left to foreground right, across wasteland with smoke puffs in the distance. Road sign mid-way pointing in both directions of the human procession: GENOCIDE ; GENOCIDE.

The march.

Dormant coal mine turns green electricity generator in world-first test A disused coal mine in Wollongong will be the first test site for a renewable energy company that lowers weights down old mine shafts to spin turbines and create electricity.

I love this concept.

Use solar energy to lift incredibly heavy weights during the day, then drive turbines via the weights dropping during peak times. Apart from maintenance and updating tech it’s essentially free power forever.

No child is worth less than another.
I am sickened by the lack of empathy in this world, particularly when it comes to children.
There are no two sides, when it comes to children.
They are all precious and should be looked after.
How pathetic we are to take sides on this.

Confused complaints to ABC Australia reveal anger over Jimmy Kimmel The ABC has received hundreds of complaints about US talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! being pulled off air and threats to boycott sponsors ... but that's the problem when two broadcasters from different c...

It’s clear Americans aren’t being taught their ABCs.

Or critical thinking.

#Depression kicked my ass this morning and I called out sick.

What ICE is doing to my town and workplace has me just too upset to think.

If the goal is to destroy the USA……they are succeeding

Fascism 101. Get rid of the academics and the scientists bc they're intelligent and educated and able to push back against the regime's lies & bs.

That kind of money would indicate that it's a privilege to live and work in the US.
It's not.
With ICE out of control and right wing hate targeting immigrants, it's not safe for anyone with an accent.

These idiots don’t have a clue how things work.

Tech, Pharma, Biosciences and other industries benefited greatly from hiring foreign PhDs…skilled roles that Americans were not lining up to fill.

They won’t pay $100K/yr in extortion money and Americans won’t fill them.

These jobs are gone.

A photo of the book "Gallipoli Sniper" by John Hamilton. The cover shows an ANZAC soldier with his rifle pointed toward the enemy.

War is no way to resolve our differences. Next time they start BS about immigration: The story of Chinese-Australian Billy Sing. Billy was a crack shot in Gallipoli in 1915 & would have protected countless soldiers including my own grandfather forced ashore in August that year.

'Rotten' Australian university culture lashed in long-running senate inquiry Australia's universities are blighted by a "culture of consequence-free, rotten failure", a senate inquiry has found.

Australia's universities are blighted by a "culture of consequence-free, rotten failure", according to the former chair of a senate inquiry examining governance at public universities. ... "There's no other sector in the country where failure is rewarded so handsomely and with so little scrutiny."

Another HOT TAKE on Australia's 2035 targets, but also a comment more generally on rise of climate "realism" and "pragmatism", where simply giving up on trying to stop us being killed by fossil fuels is presented as the Very Reasonable and Very Serious thing to do.

🚨When Reform UK took control of 10 councils in May, including Kent, Richard Tice said he’s “very confident we will do an outstanding job” in local government. But our undercover reporter at the party conference overheard how things are really going.⬇️

South East organiser Adam Wordsworth said Kent councillors are “all wankers” who “hate each other”. Wordsworth also called Kent “the bane of my existence”. ⬇️

Instead of focusing on running the council, Reform councillors are apparently busy fighting each other.

Not exactly the dream team for a party wanting to govern the country.
