Like ‘housing affordability’ ‘net zero’ has become one of those meaningless political sayings

Labors support for net zero hasn’t stopped them supporting new coal or gas or from spending billions on fossil fuel subsidies

Net Zero hides a truth the mining giants understand perfectly: nothing has to change

A disturbing truth,
When it comes to pro-palestinian or climate protests NSW police escalate to the Supreme Court.
But when it comes to Neo-Nazis, not a peep.
Very disturbing.

NSW Police approved a neo-Nazi rally outside NSW parliament yesterday morning - men in black who were openly antisemitic, anti-multiculturalism, and chanted a Hitler Youth slogan.

I think it's time for a big clean up of "jobs for the boys" now. And a retrospective tax on the companies & people who have rorted the system at the expense of the majority.

The last time NSW cops got more power over protests they beat the seven shades of shit out of Hannah Thomas. Every law you make to empower police against Nazis, will be used against environmentalists, unions and all social activists. This has always been the way

The AI intrusions on Facebook seem increasingly desperate. No longer content with posing witless search options under a post, or purporting to capture the essence of every commenter's response in a summary, now the irrelevant search terms are imposed over photos. Intensely annoying & pointless

Labor’s big betrayal of the environment – managing the interests of the mining stakeholders, and ignoring the public interest and the future. They’ll never learn. The Monday Essay from New Politics. @dlew919.bsky.social #AUSPOL open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...
The big betrayal of the environment
Unless Labor finds a way to improve environmental protections it might find that no amount of political spin can protect a government that has lost its way on environmental issues.

November is Adopt A Senior Pet Month.

Flower, age 15, is here to remind you that seniors are cute, have love to give, can learn your routine and would appreciate safe retirement.

Kittens are cute too, but give a home to a senior.

Adopt the Seniors !

Theo, a white cat with grey tabby patches, flopped on his side on a polished wooden floor with his paw on a feathery teaser toy with which he has been energetically scruffling in his play curtains (curtains that came down for a wash but proved to be so much fun to slide on and roll in that they were replaced and now live with Theo's toys, lol)

Blogging today on the inanity of politics and the banality of ecocide.

Here, perhaps for the first time ever, we have a piece of writing that includes Sun Tzu, Hannah Arendt, and Nelson Muntz.

I think it says something useful. And I think it is slightly hopeful, at the end.
