So, apparently, we currently have multiple ongoing attempts by foreign actors to influence the upcoming elections in Australia: - Meta - X - Tiktok - Murdoch - Israel? Our biggest issues start with the media. It will keep getting worse until and unless our pollies show some spine. #auspol

If you are feeling overwhelmed, I strongly recommend the livestream of the corpse flower at Sydney Botanic Gardens on YouTube. There are currently 1,500 people in chat waiting for a flower to open, and occasionally claiming that it definitely has moved this time. WWTF: We Watch The Flower.

It's fear that drives the lust for power. It's hard, it takes more courage than I've got a lot of the time, but love is the cure. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that." - MLK

Wow. I can no longer post in an r/politics Reddit thread where I was defending Bitcoin against the long-debunked uninformed opinions being shared as 'facts'. The crafty manipulation of public opinion in the media these days is mind blowing. This is how we stay trapped.

Fuck politics in Australia is making me angry. The two major parties, both bribed by the mining industry to ignore climate change, eroding our democracy by making it harder for independents to get elected. We need leaders with principles, and more than half a brain. #auspol

Black carbon, a component of particulate air pollution, interferes with the essential bacterial colonization of a bumblebee gut.

I reckon you gotta be suspicious of any analysis that ends with '...because they are stupid/crazy/selfish.' Why are 'they' like that? Can we go one level deeper? If you're not looking into those reasons, you're really just declaring yourself superior.

As a 'tech bro' I've been both motivated and unmotivated at work. The difference is senior leadership: their vision, empathy, and capacity to compensate fairly. It's the culture at the top that matters. These morons always blame everyone else.

I figure there must be a donation amount small enough that it actually costs the recipient money. Like, if someone is paid $20/h and it takes them 5 mins to process a spreadsheet with 1000 donations, then it costs about 0.17c to process each donation. Hm no my evil plan is not going to work.

I do love how technology connects people. The downside is being connected to groups of people with seemingly opposite values, who are actively working to move the future in the opposite direction - working against me. When they're loud, they seem numerous. But I think they've always been there.

It is going to be interesting if and when we collectively decide to patch bitcoin to defund dictators. You get to vote on things like that when you run a node, which requires internet and about 1TB of disk space. Out of reach for many, within reach for many, and getting more accessible by the day.
