Former fund manager and economist. Deeply alarmed by the climate crisis. Neo-liberalism has been catastrophic for our civilisation. I mostly follow back.

What a loathsome individual.

“So I always keep this fake Hollywood money in my car so when a homeless person asks for money, then I give him like a fake $5 bill, so I feel good about myself, they feel good,” said McEntee in a clip with the caption “Just a joke. Everyone calm down .”

“And then, when they go to use it, they get arrested so I’m actually like helping clean up the community. You know, getting them off the street.”

Google has laid off their Python Foundation team and asked them to train their replacements who will be in the Munich office.

This is similar to layoffs in their finance department a few weeks ago where some positions were moved outside the country where they’re cheaper. 😬

So far, roughly 30 times as many Gazan civilians have died as died when Hamas attacked Israeli civilians in October.

The Hamas attack was horrific.

But so are ~40,000 Palestinian dead. How is this proportionate? How can this be morally right?

@perkinsy There are also species of nothofagus (=southern beech) growing in the Otways in southern Victoria, but they're not deciduous. Alas!

Why moving to the right could be wrong for Dutton and the Coalition

https://theconversation.com/why-moving-to-the-right-could-be-wrong-for-dutton-and-the-coalition-225574

(Reminder to non-Ozzies: the "Liberal" Party in Oz is NOT liberal.)

"Another ex-minister, Karen Andrews, says playing up to the party’s base only works if the base constitutes a majority, otherwise it is a losing strategy."

The same foolish "strategy" being followed by the Tories and the Republicans
