Australia much the same.

Look, at least they called the relevant parties instead of asking Grok…

@albomp.bsky.social Did you see this?

“Today, extraordinary wealth seems to arrive from nowhere. The trick of conjuring this unearned wealth is, in fact, the key to understanding capital­ism’s origins and a clue to why the catastrophe of climate collapse is upon us: value is created by consuming the future.”

I was about to post that. It’s been cracking me up since 2004.

The Hunger Gap A gulf in public understanding prevents us from seeing how and why our food supply is at risk.

In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks

“Buy the CD. Save the seed. Use open-source tools. Bank with a credit union. Support right-to-repair legislation. Every act of reclaiming ownership is a withdrawal from the enclosure economy – individually symbolic, collectively structural.”

In 1984 the Doomsday clock was at 3mins to midnight.
In 2026 the Doomsday clock is at 85seconds to midnight.

Google pledges roughly three hours of its annual profit to fight climate change Google and others are committing $100 million to combat climate change.

That’ll fix it.

I made a bingo card

Fatal car crashes spike on major album release days, study suggests Motor vehicle collisions remain a leading cause of death in the US, the study said

“Interestingly, they found that traffic fatalities associated with album releases were more prevalent among sober drivers and not more pronounced during the nighttime, therefore suggesting against other possible sources of distraction, including drunk driving.”

“Bringing democracy to the Middle East”

It doesn't fill me with great confidence that with the potential for WW3 to kick off, Australia currently has perhaps its most spineless PM in history.

“Abbott occupied the relative centre. That shift says something about where the centre of gravity has moved on the right of politics.”

How surprising.

If you are in the Dunstan electorate in SA, this is your chance to scare the bejeesus out of Malinauskas and vote #Greens Christal Mex.

Dear @albomp.bsky.social take it as an electoral warning… #auspol

#enshitification

A warning.

All the worst people in the country are now shitting themselves.

The mother of all campaigns is now going to be directed against the Green Party.

It will be an unrelenting smear campaign.

The Greens need to be ready for that - and so does everyone on the left.

If you want an example of recycling look no further than Cuba. Their ability to repair, or refunction everything, out of necessity is remarkable. That's how you save a climate.

What’s most baffling to me is the idea that walking to a coffee shop wouldn’t be viewed as a pleasure.

Take note @sarahkendzior.bsky.social is on the mark.
