The whole concept of shipping trash to another country for processing is just weird.

My city has joined others in declaring a #ClimateEmergency, with a plan for more action to start later this year. It’s good to see the time for debate is over.

Reminds me of one of my favourite sayings. It’s not because we can that we should.

This folding phone saga makes me laugh. What problem is a foldable screen trying to solve? This is tech for the sake of tech.

For the life of me I don't know why this graph is not plastered all over the news. This is the emergency we are talking about. Put aside all the numbers and stats about #ClimateChange; this is how long we have and what we have to achieve.

Today is #EarthDay and I'm watching the #WeDontHaveTime no-fly climate conference on YouTube. It's compelling and I'm impressed by the participants so far.

It’s great in 1-column mode too!

Mastodon web looks nice without the thick padding around columns. I think that would be a nice improvement.

I had to change the elements on my stove top. It turns out that the wiring for these things is surprisingly more involved than I thought.

Tim Winton calling bullshit on the last 15 years of political inaction:

”It’s time to make sharp demands of our representatives, time to remove those who refuse to act in our common interest, time to elect people with courage, ingenuity and discipline, people who’ll sacrifice pride, privilege and even perks for the sake of something sacred. […] It’s the soil under our feet, the water we drink, the air we breathe.”
