Cor, sure would feel great right now if we were self-sufficient in renewable energy, and laughing at all the rubes reliant on global oil supplies. We'd have a bit of a swagger in our step today.

Everything about that photograph is lovely.
Another decade.
(and doesn't exist?)
Very, very clever. And wistful.
Alleged sighting
I can imagine 95% of users, even those well-versed in energy and emissions accounting, fully assuming this system is ingesting factors from EIA-42 etc and performing full heat-rate / energy calculations, because it *cites* those sources and that's all you need to feel a sense of confidence
I think about all those families, mourning. All those futures that never come to pass.
I think about humidicribs in Gaza without power, and children dying of starvation.
And children in Ukraine, dying.
And Australian children in Syrian camps.
And all those wars, that just never seem to stop.
I'd rather be "difficult" than "mediocre". *side eye at the PM*
I've watched a one woman theatre show on this. www.heathermassie.com/story-of-the...

Hedy Lamarr, Austrian born Hollywood actress, was also a designer/inventor who created aviation designs for Howard Hughes and co-patented a “secret communication system” - the basis for modern WiFi #WomensArt #WomensHistoryMonth
The Australian government doesn't seem able to say the word "genocide". I'm wondering if they're capable of using the words "war crimes"?

What's your sign?
Will Donald Trump’s quest for the Nobel Peace award be strengthened if he ends the war between the US and Iran?

Remember when we were supposed to get a batch of vaccines in Australia for covid, but they were blocked by Italy?
Then.. think about our fuel reserves in the US... and how much sense it makes that we don't store them here.

Dear @goldingcartoons.bsky.social, Thank you. THIS is outstanding. 🎨 #Russia #Israel #Trump #USPolitics
This was an interesting, perplexing read.
"Women's rights are rolling back at the exact moment women are being pushed closer to war, poverty and public violence. This is not drift. It is design"

@australianlabor.bsky.social supported AUKUS in opposition when Morrison brainfarted it, they’ve since taken it to two elections as policy.
We won’t see a defence policy that reflects what Australians want unless we cease voting for the major parties.

You guys have all the sun.
In Iraq, in Afghanistan, we didn't bring freedom and liberty and stability. We *did* abandon a whole lot of interpreters and broke promises to the people we said we were protecting.
Iran isn't going to be any different. Let's just not pretend. No to war.
bsky.app/profile/grog... I think this is more the issue. We are #complicit
I'm pretty sure there was a risk matrix somewhere about embedding Australians on a US submarine. I'm not interested in the individuals, but government choices and responses seem poor all round.
Just as a thought... I don't think that *most* people are really thinking that the Australians on the submarines are to blame, but more the... government... that put them there?
Of course, I speak only about the people who think that bombing children, or letting sailors drown, aren't good things.
That just sounds soooo like my day in every way.
Coffee, straight out of my nose.
When in doubt, look to the cartoons. They are, essentially, the tools for making you laugh so you do not cry.
(though occasionally you still end up doing both at the same time)
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
I've tried turning it off and back on again (nap). It's too early to try scotch. I sat in the sun with coffee, but that just made me feel tired somehow.
What do we do with today? It's broken.
