I missed this from last week but apparently BMW commandeered car screen to play a Spider-Man ad on startup and people are understandably pissed.

BMW Is Showing Commercials On Their Car's Dash Screens And They Want You To Think It's A Treat - The Autopian

You know what would be terrible? Terrible in a sort of dystopian, capitalism-run-amok sort of way? Imagine buying a brand-new, fancy, premium-grade car. From an automaker with a respected name. Like, ...

Oh this is just peachy. Elevated CO2 levels may cause changes in human chemistry beyond healthy levels in as little as 50 years. (ie Burning oil coal and gas will eventually make our bodies toxic) link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I've been saying for some time that Earth has ways of dealing with things and events that alter equilibrium. High atmospheric CO2 will cause bicarbonate concentrations in the human body to hit toxic levels in approximately 50 years. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

In which, on the 4th of July, I go through Hannah Arendt's amazing analysis of "the pursuit of happiness" and ask what we can learn. Short answer: the revolution will not be televised, because it's mostly the unglamorous, unheroic work of "public happiness", of learning to live well together.

The pursuit of happiness?

In Labor's mind 'patriotism' is handing over billions in public funds, defence & foreign policy to the US. And being 'progressive' is gutting funding for people with a disability and veterans healthcare to pay for it. If this is 'Labor Left' god knows what Labor right is up to.

Australians will pause at 11am tomorrow to observe a minute’s silence, in order to reflect on the hardships endured by rich men who sabotaged their careers on purpose in order to generate maximum media coverage and victimhood status.

Euro heatwave context from the guru Blair Trewin: "By the time this is done Paris will probably have had 10 consecutive days above 36 (they're currently on 7) - this has only ever happened once in a major Australian city, the March 2008 event in Adelaide."

The Labor and Liberal Party are colluding with the mendicant forestry industry by destroying nature, emitting massive amounts of carbon and bleeding the Tasmanian and Australian tax payers through public subsidies. It is time to end native forest logging.

LouiseMorris@louisemorris.bsky.social · last mo.

The native forest logging industry still going due to taxpayer subsidies (aka incentives)...and decades of them. End the subsidies, and we end native forest logging. It is not viable

“Logs sourced from Tasmania’s native forests are now being supplied to mills in Victoria, including businesses that received millions of dollars in public funding as part of Victoria’s native forest logging shutdown” Read the full piece by @louisemorris.bsky.social: thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...
