As a former submariner, I can say you really can’t pick and choose which bits of science and engineering you’re prepared to accept. Yet that’s the fantasy in Peter Dutton’s scams on energy policy, climate change and more. Political fraud. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A great article by @maggieperry.bsky.social on how the government's social media ban will really hurt young people who can't find connections in their local communities

Very good article defining the sh*t world of fascism’s schadenfreude in-group unifying sheer joy in total unfairness, double standards, constant lies/deceit, grifting and inflicting false reality DARVO style abuse at their pro democracy out-groups.
