For approximately two years it became convinced I desperately wanted to read an article about a tiny lizard , and had it perpetually pinned to the top of its recommendations.

Most of the cartoons are about the energy minister Angus Taylor revealing the government's road map, which focused on technologies like carbon capture and hydrogen rather than investing in "mature" tech like solar and wind.

Rall: Climate Change Is Pass Fail

Ted Rall posted:

Although Joe Biden’s website hat-tips the Green New Deal, he is opposed to it. Instead, he wants to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The problem is, scientists project the end of human civilization by 2050. So it’s a moot point. The environment is pass-fail. Incrementalism is doomed.

This is one of the least objectionable Ralls that's been posted recently.

E: Not every criticism of Biden is a conspiracy to influence the election, some people have actual reservations about voting for him; Rall is one of very few people who might legitimately be taking money from Russia specifically to criticise Biden but even then the criticism in this case is 100% made up of legitimate concerns

Nah, it's still garbage. "Biden's plan is worse than the Green New Deal, which also is pointless because nothing matters and we're all going to die in 30 years according to this CBS news article I just read." It's crap.

This seems to be an unfinished thought. Are you saying that the bit in quote marks is wrong? Are you saying it's right but that it's a real downer? What part of it is crap?

Also people have been pointing out the 2050 thing since Biden first put his policy website live, it's not fuckin' new.

And he's trying to normalize the idea that it's impossible to achieve long-term political effects without a single person remaining in power for decades. This one isn't even subtle about how bad it is.

quote:

“He Who Shall NOT Be Named…”

Protect George Soros! Never criticize him! That’s what the so-called Main Stream Media (MSM) are telling us. It’s now no longer permissible to criticize the billionaire. Even Fox News wouldn’t allow it—they quickly shut up Newt Gingrich, who wanted to tell us how Soros was funding the campaigns of grass roots politicians who, once elected, carry out Soros’ anti-America agenda.

The socialists have already captured public education at all levels. Now they’ve completed their domination of all the major media arms including Silicon Valley social media. Soros has helped fund progressive organizations such as ‘Free Press,’ and ‘Media Matters’ to help twist minds toward his globalist, socialist agenda. These organizations openly strive for Marxism and ‘social justice.’

Our media have now become politicized. They are actively campaigning for Joe Biden. They excuse his dementia at every turn. Trump is constantly demonized no matter what he says or does. Increasingly, the elites at the top of the pyramid are given a pass by the media. Bill Gates, for example. Several of my cartoons critical of the Microsoft billionaire have been banned from Facebook and elsewhere. Why? Because Gates has purchased ‘science’ and anyone critical of Gates is thought to be spreading ‘fake news.’ In actuality, Gates is fake. He’s neither a scientist nor a doctor. He’s not a vaccine expert, but he’s got a gigantic wallet and therefore he gets to censor our free speech. Google will not allow some of my cartoons to pass through their gmail system—free speech among their users be damned.



Gates and Soros are public figures who spend countless millions of dollars funding their activism. As such, they are not immune from criticism, but the elite-owned fake journalists provide them with such immunity. Real journalists are shut up and/or locked up.

Soros is actively funding the destruction of America. He wants our country chained to the will of tyrants who run the world. Soros once said he wanted to be God. The media are making it a sacrilege to criticize him.

Rowe:

Millions of extra households to be given access to faster NBN speeds by 2023 under $3.5b upgrade plan (ABC)
NBN = National Broadband Network.

Pope:

The NBN was initiated under the Rudd government to upgrade Australia's internet network. Then Abbott got in and he and Turnbull downgraded it with a hodge-podge of tech they claimed was cheaper and faster to implement. Turns out it wasn't, and the "upgrades" are bringing it back closer to how it was originally planned.
As shown in Pope's cartoon this was a theme over many policy areas.

Knight:

Turns out we are using the internet more than we were when Abbott was PM, who could have predicted such a thing.

Wilcox:

Australian universities are in financial trouble after COVID, the government deliberately withholding COVID support, and then readjusting the funding model to gut departments the government doesn't like.

Leak, Son of Leak:

A combination of Victoria pledging additional mental health funding and their push to increase the police's detention powers (which looks like it won't get through the state senate).
