Glaciers are disappearing and biodiversity loss is accelerating.
But governments and business continue to spend far more destroying nature than protecting it, Peter Sainsbury writes.

I complain about terrible journalism and journalists in Australia all the f'n time. Fortunately, there are also exceptions to the rule. This morning on Sunday Shot we're chatting with the excellent @amyremeikis.bsky.social and Stephen Long. Join us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFivajgqZYs

When the Iran war started and fuel prices went up, Labor ministers were telling the Parliament and public that the ACCC was cracking down on fuel price gouging. But the ACCC wasn’t, because it couldn’t. The Govt knew it, but were engaging in deceit. #auspol

Interesting? that Tony Abbott is on a podcast linked to Orbán’s mass…redirection of state money to culture war activity saying what a top bloke Orbán is just before the election. While Vance is stumping for Orbán, & Trump promises money.

Putin must be delighted.

These are fairies who are messing up my photography with their magic and that’s why nothing is in focus.

That’s my story and I’m sticking with it

Well will you look at that, Dutton got himself a taxpayer funded job.

Farce.

A gross and hypocritical farce.

The most destructive intersection of alt text and AI isn’t that the former is being used to train the latter.

It’s that people are really excited to use AI to produce alt text, which it is generally very bad at, and expect blind folks to be grateful for it, even though it’s shit.

I’ve known Lebanon for three decades. What’s happening now is an invasion.

This is Gaza 2.0 – and the world is barely paying attention.

Astronomers -- should we start a GoFundMe to buy this town?

It's got basic infrastructure, roads, and an extremely tiny population.

Additionally, it's under dark and quiet skies.

We can build observatories here!

Finished another stash project. Cotton market bag. Mesh sides with decorative ends.

Ran out of yarn so did require a stash top up. 🤣

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdButt, birds showing off the rear end to the photographer, the Alt Theme is #Grass, any bird standing on Grass.

Currawong hitting a chicken bone on the gutter gave this rare opportunity. I did not supply the bone.

Brisbane - the great Avid Reader has offered to hold an event for me on April 27 - it’s ticketed (but if you want to come and things are tight, DM me)

This little book has really hit a chord and I love hearing your recollections and thoughts. 🩷

Say goodbye to our aquifers and water also all the farmers and the food they produce. No Diesel can be made from this oil. Australia has no refineries to process this,so it would have to be sent overseas.
