Newsflash - its mostly desert. Real desert, not the sandy grasslands other countries call desert.
Kangaroos need predators, or they turn what grasslands we have into additional desert.
And since Homo Sapiens exterminated the previous apex predator (Thylacine) within a few thousand years of our arrival on the mainland, predator is our job now.
And bred for docility and smaller brains.
Yet still incomparably smarter than kangaroos.
Those things are so stupid I don't think they know what dead is.
If only they were easier to cook...
Low yield per hectare, but high protein - and epic salt tolerance.
Unfortunately now fashionable.
As recently as the 1930s, this was true of Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance, and every Western population but the USA fell asleep on watch and was disarmed.
I like my US administrations dishonest, corrupt, divided and powerless, rather than dishonest, corrupt, monolithic and genocidal.

Starting with the big companies that do it with impunity? #telstra, #cba and #agl being rather prominent offenders
Does anyone think an ABC reporter would have been sacked for posting a message on social media supporting Israel? https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/2024/01/16/antoinette-lattouf-legal-fight
Hope she wins.
This is why anonymity is so important.

“Biden hasn't spoken to Netanyahu in the 20 days since a tense Dec. 23 call, which a frustrated Biden ended with the words: "This conversation is over." They had spoken almost every other day in the first two months of the war.”

Kayfabe. Unfortunately.
Bibi and Biden are playing Good Cop / Bad Cop, and despite being super-obvious its somehow working...

This year the West expects a revolution
There are two Wests: the globalist one and... the ordinary one.
The globalists refuse to admit that there is anyone in the world besides them. That is why they insist that there is no second West. But there is. We, the multipolar world, must realize as clearly as possible the existence of this West-2. It is composed of a variety of forces that disagree with the ultraliberal globalist agenda of the elites.
There are leftists like Sarah Wagenknecht and her new party. The 'Red Sarah' (Valkyrie of Iranian-German origin) becomes a symbol of the European illiberal left. In Italy, a leading theorist from the same direction is Diego Fusaro, a pupil of the Marxist and anti-globalist Constantio Preve. In France, these are Alain Soral, as well as Michel Onfray, Jean-Claude Micheat and Serge Latouche.
These left-wingers are mainly enemies of global capital, openly a contrast to the pseudo-left, bought in the bud by Soros, which is mainly pro-LGBT, pro-Ukrainian Nazism, pro-Gaza genocide and uncontrolled immigration, and anti-Russia and what their capitalist masters, themselves liberal Nazis, would call 'fascism'.
There is also a right-wing component, much battered, but which in many European countries is the second most important political force. For example, Marine Le Pen in France. The Alternative for Germany is strengthening in Germany. In Italy, despite Meloni's liberal weakness, the right half of society has not disappeared. All right-wing populism has not disappeared.
However, the main thing in the West-2 are ordinary people who understand nothing about politics. They simply cannot keep up with the demands to change their sexes, forcibly castrate their young children, enter yurakis with goats, bring in and feed even more migrants and Ukrainian maniacs who are incapable of taking care of themselves and basic hygiene, eat cockroaches, read prayers to Greta Thunberg at night and curse the Russians who have done nothing wrong to them. The Western man in the street, the petit-bourgeois, is the main support for the coming revolt: he stops understanding the liberal elites; he has irreversibly fallen behind the accelerating degeneration and degradation that these elites demand of the neo.
A multipolar world must help the European revolution. The citizens of West-2 are ordinary people who are guilty of nothing. Democratically, they have no chance of changing the situation simply because there has been no democracy in the West for a long time and West-1 has established a direct globalist liberal dictatorship, mainly over West-2.
Only one thing remains: overthrow the power of the usurpers by revolutionary means.
This is the 2024 agenda for Europe.
Your freedom is in your hands.
— Alexander Dugin
The MSM will tell you that guy is "literally Hitler", but he's basically a Russian translation of a middle-of-the-road 1990s Western Conservative.
He's not always wrong, though, just excessively optimistic. He imagines the West can go back to the 1990s.
Memes, darknets and bitcoin are the only "revolutionary means" non-US Westerners have, and they can be easily enough suspended by pulling the plug on the internet for the duration of a crisis.
I predict instead that the West's current trajectory continues

What have I missed?
#reticulum includes support for shortwave, and speeds as low as 300 baud. We can run nostr over that.
Muh memes though! How am I gonna get 1920x1080 frog pix and 4k cat videos?
Between Kiwix, IPFS and #reticulum, I think we could manage to regain communications and access to information after some natural disaster or external manmade disaster, even if the govt was useless.
Internet blackout in the case where the govt is actively malevolent worries me, and I fear that's the most probable. No hope of running WiFi or 4G across a national border here in #australia...
True enough, but the iPhones gluttonous 12W consumption is a challenge, not a dealbreaker.
With modern semiconductors, it would be totally possible to run the equivalent of a Nokia 3210 on 100mW.
Remote area work. Emergency services. Emergency equipment on marine vessels. There's a big market if they can get the government out of the way.
The resulting chemical waste just might, and it has a half life of "forever".
But as long as we can outsource that work to the Third World using borrowed fiat money, we'll be fine...
And 1960s/1970s heart pacemakers!

Most journalists would believe a person would die of cancer after being in the same city as such a device :-p
Enough humans that desire that outcome? Oh yes, there are.
Enough humans that desire that outcome and can be trusted not to leak? That's the impossible.
WHO and WEF lack the coercive powers of a State to clean up after leakers, so as institutions they couldn't possibly be involved.
Smaller collusive networks, or national governments, possibly including some WHO/WEF personnel? Entirely too possible.
But I agree, anyone positing either of those institutions are planning another global pandemic as institutions is unlikely to be correct.
#unpopularopinion, but I approve, narrowly, this specific class.
"The class does not give any credits for a chemistry major, but does court towards an African and African-American studies minor."
Dr DEI is attempting to smuggle some science into a bullsh-t degree in grievance studies. Which suggests she's a better scientist than the hiring panel thought they were buying.
Her students will go on to have illustrious careers ticking boxes to turn white girl tears into taxpayers' money, but at least now they'll now know what H2O is :-p
Replace "nobody" with the World Health Organisation and your statement is correct.
Many, many countries have or have had bioweapons programs. Some are unlucky, some are incompetent, all are evil.
