Whitlam Dismissal take

The greatest achievement of the Dismissal has been the crushing of the ALP’s ambition to actually bring a better world into being.

Hawke sealed the deal by making the mark of success decent management of a capitalist economy.

Now it’s just ambition to be in government.

New post - a long review of @sarahsteinlubrano.bsky.social's book, Don't Talk About Politics.

This is a book that arrived just at the right time for me, helping some difficult ideas slide into place.

It lays out a fundamental challenge to politics-as-usual

Somehow, they built calculation machines that can’t calculate. Genius
Had the most ironic thing happen after re-posting this to my Facebook page because there's fewer engaged people over there and they need to know. A man used AI to check the arithmetic and AI got it wrong ----

This is really dumb and lazy, even for Bjorn.

Hey, B, what's the biggest cause of both air pollution and climate change? (burning stuff, mainly fossil fuels)

And what's causing forest fires to increase, dramatically raising air pollution? (climate change)

I've no doubt that my ramblings about ducks, the meaninglessness of a trillion dollars, and the latest corporate demand for compensation for being told not to be evil, will draw immense readership to my blog. No doubt at all.

Ducks in a row
I was told once that it's rather gauche to make bilingual puns about ducks. But I think that's a terrible canard. And, anyway, Zohran Mamdani has just shown that it's no longer gauche to be left! Ye...

Homo Sapiens emerged about 300,000 years ago.

Imagine you gave an early Sapiens $9,000. And they looked at you and said “the fuck is this?”

But anyway, you piled up $9,000 Every Single Day since the first Sapiens walked the Earth.

You still wouldn’t have a trillion dollars.

Capitalism is fucked

Super important point about the incredible dangers inherent in the “Abundance Requires Deregulation” agenda
To be very specific: this isn't against reform of permitting; it's against the 'build fast and break things' version of it advocated by the more centre-right groups.

I like the progressive version, where *more resources* are given to permitting bodies etc

31% of Jewish New Yorkers voted for Mamdani.

To me, this says the absolute dominance of Zionism in the diaspora has broken. As New York goes, the rest of the diaspora follows. This is massive.

Please, all in the conservation movement, do not do deals that simply favour your pet areas, in exchange for publicly endorsing @australianlabor.bsky.social's pathetic environmental law reform bill.

Pretty stunned by this @danrepacholimp.bsky.social comment. Cannot process how disconnected from reality this is. Labor are kindergarten students who've convinced themselves they're teachers
