And why are we still here and getting (rapidly) worse? Because the TINA principal is so embedded in the average conception of the world that few understand that other possibilities even exist and will fight you to preserve their own bondage and defend their masters

This is funny but also truly I think there's a huge number of people who've developed such a serious dependency and driven off such a serious cognitive cliff that I don't think they could get through a normal workday

There's something deeply fucked about measuring the economy by how much stuff we produce and consume, but barely measuring whether people have enough time to cook dinner, know their neighbours, raise their kids, care for their parents or actually enjoy being alive.

Government planning and responses to the arrival of H5N1 bird flu in Australia have been grossly inadequate. There is still time to greatly increase efforts to protect Australia’s wildlife and environments. My piece in today’s @aunz.theconversation.com 👉 theconversation.com/australias-b...

Australia’s bird flu response: too little, but it’s not too late

Australia’s response to this deadly bird flu outbreak has been insufficient and too reactive.

What is wrong with this place? Politicians are meant to be here making laws to protect democracy, to protect Australians, to protect freedom of speech. Instead, the Greens are fighting Labor and the Coalition to keep Australians safe from their own government.

🚨This is happening right now 🚨 Labor + Coalition + One Nation just cut a secret deal to pass laws on ASIO's power to detain and interrogate you without charge with a warrant issued by a politician. They're trying to do this while media is distracted.

I was musing tonight if you asked 10,000 people what money is, how it works or even where it comes from just how many could give you a cogent answer based in reality? 100? 10? 1? And yet it’s a fundamental organising force in modern life. #money #anarchism

Crap. The Victorian parliament has just passed the Outdoor Recreation Bill. This will merge the Game Management Authority with the Victorian Fisheries Authority to create a new super agency: Outdoor Recreation Victoria. This will be a disaster for our environment and wildlife.
