Turns my guts.
Albo was big on supporting Palestine back in the day. Traded that for 'pragmatism'. AKA trading principle for MSM likes. Not cool and not clever. May we remember all this shitfuckery at the ballot box. Labor were third on my ballot last year. They might be joining the Libs in 2028.

Yeah, I agree with this, despite the policies.
#auspol to all socialist parties. you can not use the word "socialist" in your name if you want to actually win. you are going against 60 years of propaganda. to win over the minds of people who don't want to be convinced you need a name they can understand. it must be a name that has no baggage.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

If some of you Aussies want a Yuzu or other citrus, The Diggers Club is having a
"Green Sale" and so the tree + postage will come to about $40.

Which is a pretty good deal.

So much meat/masculinity - this fabulous book is my go-to on the cultural assumptions associated with meat.
Meat: A Natural Symbol
This book is a broad-ranging and provocative study of the human passion for meat. It will intrigue anyone who has ever wondered why meat is important to us; why we eat some animals but not others; why...

Goes to buy bread rolls or buns, hoping for big, crusty ones covered in either sesame seeds or poppy seeds. (I love poppy seeds).

But all that Woolies seem to sell are soft little things with no seeds at all.

Because people keep being surprised, worth repeating. Substack hosts, profits from, and promotes explicitly Nazi content, and if you are adding value to that network, you are helping them to do so.

So… just buy the inexpensive, flat bottom carbon steel wok for induction. It needs prompt, non-dishwasher cleaning, and should probably live in the oven, but it’ll make even meh stir fries taste good, it’s easier to work with than stainless steel, and you won’t have to worry about teflon et al.

Dear President Herzog, To ‘reverse the brainwash’ (a Murdoch headline re your visit) please ask Netanyahu to allow full access to Gaza/West Bank for all journalists. Please explain the almost total destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure, housing, hospitals, schools + 70,000 ‘collaterally’ killed.

"We can't end fossil fuels overnight"

"How much are you paid? Why you do this?"

But also lots of honks in support, chats with passers-by & enthusiasm for decarbonising to protect a liveable climate❗️
