Arresting people for saying words that contain no slurs or derogatory language because the leadership of a nation that is committing a genocide and has way too much influence on policy takes offence shows Australia is sliding into decay.

You’re meant to tax things you want less of & subsidise things you want more of. Yet Australian governments are handing out $16.3 billion in subsidies for fossil fuels. @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social & @elinorjohnstonleek.bsky.social discuss why on this episode of Dollars & Sense. 🎧 theaus.in/4bm3836

How to get into nature.
A four-panel comic titled "how to get into nature". In panel 1, a person kneels in the woods, looking down at a red-backed salamander, and the text says "notice a living thing." In panel 2, the text says "notice some other things that live near it," and there's a starflower, springtail, ant, little wood satyr butterfly, and salamander on the leaf litter. In panel 3, covered in creatures, plants, and a colorful starburst, the text says "Notice the connections between them, discover the wider ecosystem, learn about its histories, and find yourself following links from bedrock to stratosphere, between biotic and abiotic, at scales both microbial and massive, until you’re hopelessly overwhelmed by the wonder of it all." In panel 4, the text says "Fall into a daze and let moss engulf you." The person from the first panel is still kneeling in the woods, looking happy as moss slowly engulfs them, and they're saying "This is for the best."

Criticising Israel isn't antisemitism. Conflating criticism of Zionism with antisemitism while killing Palestinians and illegally occupying their land is the crime here. There are plenty of Jewish people who recognise that injustice, and those who stand up for peace are heroes.

Antisemitic attacks are bad. Anti-Muslim attacks are just as bad. Why the concentration on one and not the other if not for racism? Because unless both (and all forms of racism) are addressed equally there is going to be a feeling of victimisation which will simply fuel further division.

Netanyahu does for antisemitism what Colonel Sanders does for chicken sales. The attack at Bondi beach was despicable. The October 7 Attacks were despicable. The genocide of Palestinians by the IDF under Netanyahu and his predecessors is despicable. Those three things are not mutually exclusive.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it.  August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

In Donald Trump’s America, you can be a lying, corrupt politician or corporate goon and count on a pardon. But if you’re a hardworking immigrant who’s done nothing wrong, you can expect to be harassed and beaten by masked thugs enforcing this administration’s vile immigration policies. Shameful.
