Gough raised unemployment benefits to their highest level relative to poverty - then Fraser (and his treasurer John Howard) fucked it up as soon as they could.

So, Australia collects 43 cents per $100 of exported gas.
Qatar collects 46 DOLLARS per $100 of exported gas
And Norway collects 56 DOLLARS per $100 of exported oil

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars
Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Over the last few days, I’ve learned that this guy who said vile things about me and those whom I love was coded and sold as a young Mr. Rogers to a very receptive audience. Has helped me understand the general response.

Hoatzins are widespread in the lowlands of northern and central South America and can be found along lakes, rivers, and streams. They are referred to as a flying cow because they eat leaves which are digested in the crop with the aid of bacteria, similar to cattle.

Your occasional reminder that the positive effects of UBI have been tested and validated hundreds of times more often than the murderous Musk robotaxis or LLM’s we’re rushing to put into our schools and streets.
For the past three years, the city has been giving cash to some struggling renters, no strings attached.
The first-in-the-nation experiment has been even more successful than researchers studying its impact expected.

Philly’s first-in-the-nation experiment giving cash to struggling renters is working, researchers say
Families that got cash rental assistance were less likely to be evicted, experience homelessness, and report having serious problems with their homes, according to a study of the PHLHousing+ program.
