One of those places that look like they ought to be haunted. I wonder if they intended those figures to be as creepy as they look? Not a place one would want to spend alone at night! #Australia #Melbourne RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:t57rcqk4cylwtjk3ejunu3um/post/3mso6h35t2s24

Meta Caught Paying Nazis to Post on Facebook #Hate, unfortunately, sells. Right-wing extremism researcher Kaz Ross told *ABC” that #Meta’s “financial model is to reward content creators who get engagement, and as we know, the best way of getting engagement is to produce rage bait, extremist material, aggravating material: anything that will get people upset and arguing is the best way to get engagement.” It’s another example of how quickly Meta dropped its once-stricter content moderation policies when Donald Trump returned to the White House. Shortly before his second inauguration, Meta loosened its standards around hate speech, particularly on topics like gender identity and immigration, two of the far right’s favorite issues. #Facebook is far from the only platform that’s gotten alarmingly chummy with extremists. Earlier this year, #X awarded the $1 million first place prize of its article writing contest to a proudly self-proclaimed Nazi. In a statement, Meta didn’t address specific questions about the pages it was awarding money to, but said it was “important to distinguish between speech that is offensive and content that could potentially lead to offline violence”. “Such speech may be offensive to many, but it is not Meta’s role to police offensiveness,” the company added #HateSpeach #GenderIdentity #immigration #suprematists #ABC #newsToday #extremists #Nazis #Prize ##violence #monetazation #finance #RightWing #US #USpol #politics #globalisation #Australia #offensiveness #financialModel #Police #Futurism @leavex@mastodon.social https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/meta-caught-paying-nazis-to-post-on-facebook

Sydney gardener fined almost $200,000 for removing 287 trees to improve harbourside mansion’s water views "It began with a gardener being hired to trim grass at a harbourside mansion in Sydney – and escalated to payments being left in a shoe for the unlawful felling of hundreds of native trees in protected bushland. Now a court has fined Yi Wang $187,500 for his role in organising and carrying out the destruction of 287 trees from council-owned foreshore bushland at Woodford Bay in Longueville in late 2023. The New South Wales land and environment court justice Rachel Pepper convicted Wang last week for helping to orchestrate the clearing of 1,210 sq metres of land beside a waterfront property on Lucretia Avenue. Wang pleaded guilty to three offences in relation to the unlawful clearing, which Pepper heard destroyed potential habitat for a range of protected and threatened animals, including powerful owls and microbats. It could take three decades to recover. In September 2024, the council installed a huge double-sided banner on the site of what it labelled “tree vandalism”, demonstrating its “commitment to obscure” harbour views gained by the destruction of the habitat and pledging it would remain in place until the trees grew back “to a suitable height”." https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/aug/09/trees-vandalism-lane-cove-council-sydney-gardener-fined-court-longueville-ntwnfb #EnvironmentalTerrorism #Environment #News #Australia #ClimateChange

#NativeGardenDesign in #Australia: A 2026 Guide How to design a native Australian garden the right way — climate zones, the 5 native garden styles, plant categories, common mistakes, and what it costs in 2026. 17 April 2026 Excerpt: "Why design native (the practical case) - #WaterConsumption. A well-established native garden needs roughly 30-60% less supplemental water than an equivalent ornamental scheme. In #drought-restricted areas, this is the difference between a garden that survives summer and one that doesn't. - Climate match. Indigenous species evolved with your specific climate. They handle your typical heatwaves, frost events, soil pH, and rainfall pattern without intervention. - #Biodiversity. Indigenous plants support indigenous insects (which feed birds, lizards, small mammals), provide nectar for #NativeBees and #honeyeaters, and offer nesting habitat. A 12-month-old native garden is visibly more biologically active than a typical ornamental scheme. - Lower input over time. Less feeding, less spraying, less ongoing intervention once established (typically 12-24 months). - #Bushfire considerations. Some native species (low-flammability plants) are actively recommended in bushfire-prone areas; others (high-oil species) should be avoided or kept away from structures. Native ≠ automatically fire-safe; design matters."

Replying to @skye@void.rehab
@skye@void.rehab We are doing #australiacensus The gender question is going to have a vanilla answer. With the #fascists at 22% primary vote (It takes about 35% to form a government in #australia ) I feel like I'd be marking myself for prosecution. And feel sad I am abandoning my #LGBTQ kin for the wolves by stepping out of the circle.

Can’t go to a gig without getting a new t-shirt. This is an original design by Kankawa Nagarra the artist I saw on Wednesday night. It’s a journey from the tea-chest which she made into a guitar when she was young to her blues music today. She describes herself as ‘born in sand and washed in fire’. #Blues #Australia #KankawaNagarra
