@hismajestyservice.bsky.social It is interesting. Not that long ago we did a programme on why do we like sad songs some of us. We had a music journalist who features quite a lot and has been a music journalist for a long time! He said that music reaches us in a way, where no other genre can :)

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Exactly. Luckily we are IN a world-altering event (apart from frog boiling global warming) right now. As Albo, Wong & the Perfumed Warlord seem incapable of waking up, they must be replaced.

"Howard tied us to America so tightly, it would take a world-altering event to unshackle us. The tragic truth is though, even then, we would probably be on America’s side, even if it meant our own destruction," writes @amyremeikis.bsky.social.

Holy hell. Hundred Thousand Australians now stranded. Was our deputy sheriff Albanese not warned? Rhetorical question.

You know, State Department procedure is to help people leave _before_ hostilities begin. Trump/Rubio must have deliberately countermanded procedures, intentionally leaving Americans stranded. IOW it wasn't merely their incompetence but rather an actual decision.

Sierra Nevada mountains just north of LA, CA, USA.

Jagged snow covered peaks rise above green trees and a yellowish plain. A small blue lake peeks around a bend.

Climate change: Doom versus gloom Should we hope for the best and prepare for the worst when tackling climate change?

"Thinking through the implications of 4C warming shows that the impacts are so significant that the only real adaptation strategy is to avoid that at all cost because of the pain & suffering that is going to cost. There is no science on how we are going to adapt to 4C warming" @neiladger.bsky.social

“As discussed in our meeting with the minister yesterday we received your revised document with highlighted mark-ups on Sunday and note some of the conditions that we had previously advised as needing change have not been addressed,” the Woodside official wrote."

In coal country this battery didn't stand a chance A community battery project three years in the making, run by a local not-for-profit and backed by the council, was killed after a spark of misinformation about its fire risk was ignited.

There are many towns throughout Australia that would love to build their own community batteries. Wild that the Narrabri council willingly killed this off by spreading misinformation www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
