50% of modern medicines come from plants. 70% of cancer treatments come from nature. The Amazon holds 10% of all life on Earth. We've studied <1% of it for medicine. We are cutting down cures faster than we can discover them. Every forest cleared = A cure lost. Source: WHO / NCI

The USA is so broken it will never be repaired. And a reminder, Richard Marles believes we need to have even stronger defence ties with the USA because of our "shared values"

Home in 6 years. Long history of violent crime. Judges don’t take some crimes seriously enough. Abduction and rape of a child, should be a multiple decades sentence, not one decade. #AusPol

Oh wow. This is proper fucked. That list of folks eligible for a free vaccine is *narrow*. So anyway, we gave BHP $600m in diesel rebates this past year. You know they really needed them because in the same year the company booked a $14b profit.

the recent jwst images have been insane
A young star cluster filled with many stars that display Webb’s unique eight-pronged diffraction pattern. At its center is a yellow star which sports the largest diffraction pattern. To the left of the star, there is a region filled with yellow dust and gas that extends from the star to the left border of the image. This yellow region extends from the bottom, covering about two-thirds of the image. The yellow region has several blue stars of different sizes embedded within. The top third, which lies outside of the yellow region, holds a few bright protostars, within dense gray gas. Those stars illuminate the gas, making it appear blue. A few red outflows from other protostars are visible above this grayish-blue region. To the right of the central star, there is a clumpy, flame-like plume of red dust and gas with protostars that emit a soft white light within. The plume is surrounded by more dense gray gas and dust. 

Image credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Processing: Alyssa Pagan.A massive galaxy cluster, made of many golden elliptical galaxies with the largest, brightest one in the center. Heavily distorted orange galaxies appear all around the cluster, the largest concentrated in a large arc around the cluster's center; these are images of very distant galaxies, created by gravitational lensing. A few galaxies are large and bluish-white in color; bright, nearby stars are the same color.A star-forming region. The left two thirds of the image is blanketed in thick clouds of green and yellow gas and dust that form swirling patterns. Some of the gas is spread into thin, thready wisps. The right third of the image is the black background speckled with stars and multi-colored dots that represent distant galaxies. Bright stars are scattered throughout the clouds, with the densest cluster situated in the center of the scene. Each is crowned with six long spikes and two shorter spikes created by the optics of the telescope’s mirrors.
A region of space filled with bright stars and clouds of gas. In the center, the densest clouds form the shape of a chest with its lid open. The chest appears to glow from within. At its base it breaks apart into long pillars of thick gas. Many of the gas clouds in the background are dark orange globules, while others form large, pale hazes. A few brightly shining stars lie in the foreground, the biggest and brightest in front of the chest’s lid.

Israel is not sustainable. About 40% of their over 15 population do not work. Tourism is over. Years of war is hemorrhaging cash. The business community, students, and the wealthy have left. This genocidal regime is despised and isolated which scared off investors. Civil war is looming.
