Josh Frydenberg *again* in headlines over a “comeback”. It’s (again) worth remembering that as the nation’s Treasurer he secretly deleted the key findings of a probe into corruption at the top of the nation’s corporate regulator. Surely that excludes one from politics? (ICYMI); theklaxon.com.au/frydenberg-…

Vegetables are now half as nutritious than 60 years ago. Experts have worked out why Fewer than a third of wheat varieties used in bread released since the 1960s meet the recommended zinc target, due to poor soil quality independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

In the horror of a Genocide this is a moment of hope. 15 of the children from the Gaza Nipper’s program got back in the surf this week. 30 of the other nippers can’t be found, many have been killed. How has the world made the decision to send so many bombs and so few lifesavers?

I'm reliably informed phone polling took place in Albanese's electorate of Grayndler a few weeks back Which is fascinating, bc there isn't an election on at the moment, nor is there one in the foreseeable future I wonder who suddenly feels the need to test the voting intentions of the people of Grayndler?
If Hannah Ferguson takes Anthony Albanese’s seat, it will be one of the most cathartic moments in political history. The duopoly is destroying us. 🤞

The UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan - as well as Denmark and the Netherlands, said they "regret and strongly disagree with" the US sanctions on the International Criminal Court. No sign of Australia. Hello @SenatorWong mirror.co.uk/news/politics/u…

Shoebridge says the committee that rejected Thorpe’s bill was a “stitch up” dominated by Labor who wrote the report, & that Greens support the bill to end shackling. What the hell is wrong with you @AlboMP - I know you’re a misogynist, but shackling prisoners during childbirth is sickeningly depraved. What do you gain by this? Did the Zionists order it? @AustralianLabor

The “Surf Economy” comes to the rescue of journalists struggling to find an angle on a crisis set to decimate our food system, collapse our civilization & kill billions of people in our children’s lifetimes.

“Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work together for the benefit of all.” John Maynard Keynes It's perhaps apocryphal, maybe not said by Keynes, but we need to have a deep think about this. 1/9

We treat the atmosphere like it’s an American Express Black credit card with no limit, and when the bill comes due, payable in fires, floods, and famines, we call it “weather.” When will Australia start to talk about #Degrowth4Regrowth ? @SteadyStateEcon @swrighteconomy @AmyRemeikis
“Degrowth is not recession. Recession is chaotic, cruel, and unplanned. It is a heart attack. Degrowth is surgery. It is the deliberate, democratic, and just contraction of the energy- and material-intensive sectors that are actively murdering our life-support systems. Degrowth means flying less, building less concrete, producing less plastic junk, and yes, accepting that a country’s health is not measured by its quarterly GDP report. It means working fewer hours, sharing more, repairing instead of replacing, and valuing care, art, and community over cargo ships full of sneakers.” (It is Hard to say degrowth when your Job is to say GDP to keep up the Illusion we can pay back our debt - be it ecological, climate or extraction - the Moment we accept decline is irreversibel the ponzi ends…) sufficiencywellbeing.com/p/y…

Do fans of DIGGER not realize that talking about the acting and the film, and not the fact the planet is hotter than it’s been in thousands of years, is what the film is criticizing?

Labor’s neglect of the Greens vote might bite them. Hard. “If the Greens deny preferences to Labor on a significant scale, many Labor MPs will be in difficulty. With the growing collapse of votes for the major parties, Green preferences for Labor will be more important than ever.” Labor should not take Green preferences for granted pearlsandirritations.com/pos…

I’ve covered many floods in Chile and they don’t normally get much attention. This one has. Why? It's an affluent area. Historically, severe mudslides in Santiago primarily strike more vulnerable, lower-income precordillera communes (like Macul or Peñalolén). Because San Carlos de Apoquindo is a modern, premium development, its heavily engineered drainage networks and street layouts have historically insulated it from mountain runoffs.

Global surface temperatures can be quite volatile, but it's worth noting that October 6, 7 and 8 each set a new record for the highest global temperature on that day since records began in 1940. If you like records, there will a lot more record hottest days to come! Stay tuned!
