Why I stopped going on TV

"The Albanese government" or to give it its full title "The Albanese government has bowed to pressure from <insert corporation here>"
The Albanese govt has been an utter failure on climate change.
Blaming Trump is just gutless governing by a govt that always takes the easy-do-nothing option.

To celebrate having a decent place on the Internet to post things again, I'm belatedly sharing a bunch of research scans from typesetinthefuture.com/book 👍
