It will be the law of the jungle.
Market analysts are already predicting that rich countries will outbid poor countries for scarce oil and gas supplies. This means energy famine for the Global South.

always remember we live in an era of charlatanism and snake oil, where absolute buffoons who often don't even know they're actually legitimately moronic can just yap as if they're authorities on the subject they're talking about.
you see it all the time, don't believe them and don't be like them.
Just a reminder that genAI is, from the ground up, a fascist apparatus and anyone who defends it is a nazi, comically stupid, or both. bsky.app/profile/dres...
The cool thing is that the Government knows full well that pretty much all excess expenditure on the NDIS is from providers marking shit up 1000% … which limiting eligibility will do nothing to stop, allowing them to do this again in future when they want to kill another wave of disabled people
People will die over Labor's changes to NDIS
Labor won't give a fuck how many disabled they kill (budget saving right, another bomb to spend on instead)
Just like they don't give a fuck about over 2000 Australian's dead from robodebt
Labor loves social murder
Line these pos up against a wall
Mark-up on anything labelled NDIS is a huge issue. Need a new bolt for your four wheeled walker? Couple of dollars at Bunnings. Twenty times as much at Independent Living Specialists
TSICH ATLY lifeafterpsychiatry Sep 24, 2021 Follow If you accidentally hurt someone or cross their boundaries and they make you aware of this, literally all you have to do is apologize and stop. You don't have to beat yourself up internally for months. You don't have to hate yourself for fucking up. You don't have to feel like a horrible person. No one benefits from any of that - and at worst, such an extreme reaction will make the person in question less likely to speak up around you in the future, cause even if your negative reaction is directed at yourself and not at them, it's still unpleasant for everyone involved.
I’m also just going to add that this is a classic form of making everything about yourself & can, in some cases, basically traumatize people in your life into silence bc asking you gently to stop bringing up certain topics, etc. results in a complete and total breakdown centered on your self image
it was already too hard to access the NDIS. most of the disabled people I know are not on the NDIS. fuck this
I do not think that there is much point in Ds attacking or defending Piker when virtually nobody in the electorate knows who he is.
the foundational concept of Bluesky was to create a space for tech bros by using invite only for a span
the foundational reality of Bluesky is that invites became life rafts for queers fleeing Twitter by way of furries
nobody working for Bluesky has ever forgiven this
People forget when it was first proposed Prop 50 was WILDLY UNPOPULAR and by the time of the vote we could have banned the GOP from California and it would have passed.
The thing about depression is that it’s not just a mood, not just the thoughts or perceptions, not just fatigue. Your whole psychomotor system is depressed. It’s like something inside is weighed down. It’s hard to do anything or get relief from the weight.
As ever, two things are true:
1. Caitlyn Jenner is an awful person who does not give the slightest shit about other trans folks and will throw us all under the bus without a second thought
2. If you misgender her, you also don't give a shit about trans folks except as a club against Republicans
Liberals don't actually have a moral objection to bigotry, they just have a list of acceptable targets that gets updated occasionally. Once you understand this you see it all the time.
The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
MTG literally talked about how Californian wildfires were the result of 'jewish space lasers' attacking America as part of a Rothschild led conspiracy, but for some reason, the Democrats aren't willing to treat her as being antisemitic in the same way they do 'Israel is committing atrocities.'
I've been saying for years that. Politicians know they can't outright get rid of government programs so instead they make it as difficult as possible to actually access them.
well, this is going to be awkward for all the genocide defenders shouting "but we wouldn't be at war with Iran!"
never gonna shut up about how Queen Elizabeth died like 6 months before they said so. you know they have body doubles for these people. we’ve all seen “Dave.” they just had to limp her over the finish line to 70 years to get her jubilee and make her the longest reigning monarch
Praising JK Rowling when asked a question on trans rights is akin to praising Anita Bryant when asked a question gay rights. No money to Stonewall. No Stonewall at Pride. They are already experiencing a funding crisis, and this chairwoman appointment should be their last. Traitors.
The Avignon Papacy is not the Western Schism, my good friends!
So today on Gone Medieval I have that rare thing - a medievalist emergency - wherein I had to explain the Avignon Papacy because a lot of people know the phrase *cough* the Trump administration *cough* but they don't actually know what it means. Don't let it be you.

yeah dudes get real uncomfy when you tell them "the birth rate crisis" is because children are getting SAed less
A deliberate decision was made to keep covid circulating because capital was spooked by the idea of people working together to improve their lives and eugenicists incorrectly believe it will strengthen the overall population.
Look I'm sorry but if these people want to kill themselves because they are too brainwashed by fascism to realise you shouldn't guzzle shit-tainted milk and they think chain smokers are the picture of health then I'm just glad they're taking care of the problem for us at this point.
To me, Ghibli works are about showing us that the world is beautiful and there is much to love *even with* the darkness that people are forced to confront in it, and I feel like there's a lot of media that wants to use those aesthetics but avoid the substance of the work.
This is why the misuse of the term Ghibli-esque makes my eye twitch.
The aesthetics are soft and beautiful, yes. Themes often include such low-stakes conflicts as fighting fascism, the destruction of the environment and battling the depths of depression.
As someone perfectly put it, “we are being led by failed middle managers”.
I'm sorry, the time for reasonable engagement and spirited debate was before your political movement was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
Now there is only one way this ends for you. So it goes.
