I was going to say this isn’t normal… but with years of an ongoing pandemic, repeated infections, and the cognitive effects COVID can cause, it sadly doesn’t surprise me anymore. So many young people are struggling with memory and focus now, and nobody wants to join the dots.

Billionaires aren’t building bunkers for fun. They’re preparing for the societal collapse they helped create, argues @JulianCribb. #BunkerWorld #ClimateCrisis #Inequality #Future #Collapse
Welcome to BunkerWorld – home of the rich and fearful
From luxury bunkers to billionaire boltholes, the world’s richest are planning for collapse rather than preventing it. Julian Cribb argues this fear reveals a deeper failure of our economic system – and a stark choice for humanity’s future.

ASIO says espionage cost Australia $12.5bn last year. But scratch the surface and the numbers rely on speculation, hypothetical threats and unverifiable data.
David Higginbottom asks whether this is analysis – or advocacy.

ASIO’s $12.5 billion espionage bill doesn’t add up
ASIO says espionage cost Australia $12.5 billion last year. But that figure relies on assumptions, speculative scenarios and opaque data that raise serious questions about credibility.

Sean Kelly’s The Good Fight asks an important question: does Labor still know what it believes – and is it willing to act on those beliefs under Albanese? #AusPol #Labor #Albanese #Inequality #Politics
What does Labor actually stand for in the Albanese era?
Sean Kelly’s Quarterly Essay The Good Fight asks a harder question than whether Labor is governing competently – it asks whether it still knows what it believes, and whether belief is translating into action.

The absolute worst & most dishonest climate change denial comes from centrists who lie about things like carbon capture or master chess games to further the destruction of our children's future. Far, far more evil than the straight up conspiracies sold by the far right.
