Four wind turbines in Scotland. Caption reads: Scotland just shattered every renewable energy record imaginable by generating 113% of its entire electricity needs from clean energy sources in a single year

Bullying, peer socialising, and performance also probably explains this annual cycle of self harm dropping every school holiday in NSW Australia over seven years Which has nothing to do with autism, and lots to do with inclusive teen experience at school

Couple this seeming disinterest with this graph showing the 7-year annual cycle of self-harm presentation to ED Huge reduction every school holiday (NSW Australia) Surely we can make schooling and society in which kids operate less distressing What is it about holidays that reduce stress?

This graph shows Commonwealth funding, and as schools are funded by states the figures could be thought to be misleading But even when state funding is brought in, the per student funding for private students is 105% and for public students under 88%, which looks pretty similar F at levels of govt

The UN won't let this pass They are all to be convicted, eventually Vote, so they lose their wealth
The UN calls the Epstein files credible, revealing a "global criminal enterprise" based in "supremacist beliefs...extreme misogyny...dehumanisation of women and girls

They won't ever name or prosecute perpetrators mentioned in the Epstein files Others will They are protected by deconstructing democracy. The stated aim of Project 2025 Vote Everyone is a commodity to these people. It will be you eventually. That is their plan Vote
The UN labels the Epstein files credible, and revealing of "a global criminal enterprise", committed against a "backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption, extreme misogyny, and the commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls from different parts of the world"

These views are insidious They sneak into child development beliefs, and some don't realise the origin of the things they force upon children "for their own good" Here is the Youth Regiment boot camp. The boss is holding a child in a bin of ice she's starting to stand up in Coercive control 101

The article points at ads like this by Advance Australia, to which our antisemitism commissioner donated $50 000 Or her husband did without her knowing Regardless, this is what their cash purchased, as shown in the story

I saw this driving on a Qld road earlier this year. I sent it to my Labor members It suggests the driver, a member of the Rifle Association (RA), would like to shoot Islamic people Hate and threat is not only against Jewish people

Dr Emu, Graham Pringle, PhD @emugraham.substack.com · 15/05/2026
Meanwhile I was driving behind this earlier this year "RA Infidel"; RA = rifle association, with a rifle for clarity But I suppose the 'infidel' suggests he would like to shoot Islamic people, so not a crime in Qld. That would only be a hateful threat against a different group

PTSD is recognised in the diagnostic systems. Complex PTSD is recognised by the World Health Organisation (ICD-11). Complex trauma is neither of these things.

Instead, we should consider a spectrum of distress from anxiety and depression to PTSD, C-PTSD, complex trauma, and dissociation. Each shares some of the other concerns. For this reason, we cannot appropriately respond to complex trauma without addressing dissociation. They go together. Always.

The Floor This has to be the worst game show on tv 8-9 rounds of 1.5 minutes each night Max 13.5 minutes of competition, during an hour of broadcasting The rest is fluff, over-acting, colourful costumes for the competitors, rapid changing camera angles, etc Much ado about nothing
The Floor cover photo of the host, the logo, and a competitor with their mouth open ( and wearing a loud print shirt) (I did write that the show involves overacting and costumes to make it less tedious)
