I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥
There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️
They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

This new website by the Australia Institute is actually pretty damn good. I think I’ll cancel some of my other news sources and get my background info from this one.

This is something people who are chatbot-curious should be doing by default: ask it about something you *do know about*, not something you *don't know about*.
As an experiment, I asked ChatGPT to give me a walking route in my neighbourhood and to describe the scenery. I've also asked it to describe plot features of movies I've seen. It spews out bullshit.

Yet again, the government is handing taxpayer money to a company steeped in Palestinian blood: Elbit Systems. It's quite a contrast to Anthony Albanese's posturing on recognising Palestine.

According to Penny Wong, Israel’s strike on Doha was “the wrong thing to do”. Unbelievably weak response. Other Western leaders have condemned in much stronger terms.
In the last 24hrs, Israel has bombed:
• the occupied Palestinian territories
• Syria
• Lebanon
• Yemen
• Qatar and
• the Global Sumud Flotilla in Tunisia
Israel is a terrorist state.
