Gosh that’s really bad

It is terrible that her statement suggested people marching over the bridge for peace in Gaza were somehow to blame for this

“Profit is usually a sign that someone's been harmed.” as that well known low trust voter Karl Marx used to say

I was active in XR for a while and still connected - I think maybe it’s attractive to people who want one clear answer and one clear course of action - whereas politics and social change are messy and incremental and you just have to keep trying

In fairness I don’t think she is saying society will completely collapse? Also in fairness I think some of the optimism vs pessimism stuff is temperamental rather than intellectual. But you are so right that people can do this stuff without giving up on politics and advocacy!

I was hoping it might be possible to get there by train but I think not?

You honour the premier and the parliament with your presence Daniel, as do all the First Nations/Aboriginal people involved. Thank you

Was in Adelaide the other day and happened to be near Adelaide University, where I first went when I was 17, so long ago. Decided to look around and what‘s the first thing I saw? Shame on you Adelaide Uni #FossilFools

My tendency is to try to be nice to them, to think something bad must have happened to them. It takes me a long time to work out they’re just being arseholes because they think they have a right to behave that way

thanks, had no idea Howard did this. Been calling for ‘climate disasters’ instead of ‘natural disasters’ but didn’t know ‘natural disasters’ was part of his blighted legacy

I cannot believe that people just stay on it - but they do.

Forgot the Alt text sorry - the first building I saw when entering the university from the east side was labelled ‘Santos Petroleum Engineering Building’ - shown in picture.
