There is a lot of “beware of violence” news lately. This always proceeds increases in police powers. You are far more likely to be hurt by someone you know and the police won’t stop that. The police will stop protests against an antisocial government though.

@reynoldsgareth.bsky.social in years of past people would gasp while a man carried flour or walked backwards. Now, people watch other people opening boxes or eating. We are the same but now we view it remotely.

When I hear about critical issues such as ecological collapse, homelessness, youth violence and people say “we failed”. No “we” didn’t. A small group of highly privileged individuals wouldn’t let their grip on power go and don’t care for the consequences.

I love living in a multicultural city. I remember growing up and wondering why soy sauce came in the shape of little fish. I had never even heard of sushi let alone imagined one day I could get it anytime I want.

The Slow Vanishing: How Small Waves of Homo sapiens May Have Quietly Absorbed the Neanderthals
A new mathematical model suggests the end of the Neanderthals was less an extinction than a genetic merging—a slow fade through interbreeding rather than a cataclysmic fall.

‘Poor doors’: affordable housing tenants have to use back entrance to access Barangaroo apartments
Those paying discounted rent at Watermans Residences can’t use pool or gym, either. Critics say segregation ‘a dystopian microcosm of housing inequality’

The US should not be allowed to make Australia complicit in nuclear war. 50 years ago Whitlam believed that and he was right.
