We're burning our home, and losing our sense of decency, fairness, equality and caring for our fellow humans and earth's natural gifts. Peace not war. Hoping the BlueSky community thinking helps us all survive #UBI πŸ’šπŸŒΏπŸŒˆπŸ»β€β„οΈπŸͺΌπŸͺΈπŸ¬πŸ’

I love the truth spoken in this article and want to bat Albo over the head with it until he comes to his senses. He needs to be taken to a Zionist-detox clinic.

Completely missed Diego's woes. Hope it isn't what my No. 1 boy had: pericardial effusion where the fluid around his heart was basically making it harder and harder to work. Allegedly caused by cancer of the heart.
All the best Diego ❀️

Trump's Blunder. Air wars don't work. Iran ignores the lessons of history - Michael West Donald Trump's air war on Iran ignores the lessons of history, writes Michael Pascoe. Look at Germany, Yogoslavia, Korea, Vietnam.

Failing to learn lessons of history. And PM Albanese eagerly rides along. How much has #AUKUS to do with dragging Australia into another US folly? Even within Labor many see this utter folly - Labor Against War.

Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026. The chart shows a significant price peak in 2022 reaching over $120, followed by a general downward trend with various fluctuations, eventually hitting a low near $55 in late 2025 before a sharp vertical spike to the current price of 90.900. This recent surge represents an increase of +23.880 (+35.63%), highlighted in green text above the blue line graph.

The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.

Even watching all the news it’s hard to fully grasp how evil this country is under the current administration. Then consider a majority of people pay no attention. People like Trump secretly love forever war because it’s made everyone so numb.

Well, I could ensure my bathroom plumbing isn't going to explode in a disgusting mess, but also start some regular donations to some of my favourite causes.. but I would be pleased to see that I should no longer have to contribute to homeless charities!

Jacey Van Wert investigated leatherback #seaturtle #bycatch in Hawaii's deep-set longline fishery. Regs for hook shape/size, leader material recently changed to protect false killer whales & oceanic whitetip sharks. Changes increased leatherback bycatch, although impact is small. #ISTS44 #ISTS2026

Why Albert Camus still matters in an age of authoritarianism Albert Camus wrote in the shadow of fascism, war and ideological violence. His defence of truth, democratic dialogue and human limits remains strikingly relevant in today’s era of authoritarian politi...

"After the Stalinist gulags & Auschwitz, Camus argued, people needed to enshrine forms of politics founded on the prohibition of systematic deceit, enslavement & killing in the name of ideologies, of whatever stripe."

That would rule out Zionism then. Let's do it.

Time to up our transition to renewables and discount the prices of EVs to reduce our dependence on oil @albomp.bsky.social (PS: Please do NOT get involved in the Israel/US illegal war! These regimes are not our friends/should NOT be our allies!)
