Although probably a little more diverse, if only geographically speaking.

I’ve worked in those places. The people doing the cutting don’t care. They seem able to rationalise away every argument that gets between them and achieving a KPI linked to a bonus. Call me cynical, but I’ve seen too much of it.

Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

THIS!!

Take a moment to watch performance artist Guillaume Juncar. You won’t regret it.

I read it the same way, and had a cheery few moments before reality set in…😊

I saw an older teen the other day riding an e-scooter on the road, in quite heavy traffic on a major 6 lane road. No helmet. No sense.

Yes, it was a cycling proficiency test, I think.

There is also the issue of dodgy batteries, which have caused fatal house fires. We DO need better legislation but it does need to be sensible, and of course, sage e-bikes and safe use of them are to be encouraged.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

It happens. I had a home economics teacher whose name was Miss Cook. Then she got married and became Mrs Coffey.

trump fucked over the contractors who demolished the East Wing of the White House and his precious ballroom may never be built because he can’t agree with architects about what is feasible to build. So, 123 years of history turned to rubble for NOTHING. 🤬

Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal can’t explain why she releases statements condemning Pro Palestinian protesters but then stayed quiet when Neo Nazis rallied outside NSW parliament
Segal “I take your point”
Not good enough. She’s failed Jewish people and Australians. #Estimates

I’m so sorry. 😢

Well that’s just bloody marvellous, isn’t it. What a time to be alive.

a man with a bandana on his head is standing in front of a rock wall . Alt: Alan Rickman in Galaxy Quest, saying, No offence!” Which he does not really mean.

It would be hard for anyone to project more contempt and venom in the phrase, “No offence”, than Alan Rickman in Galaxy Quest.

One Nation climate denier Malcolm Roberts asks Climate Change Authority Chair Matt Kean in “what year” power prices will come down.
Kean “According to the ABS they are already seeing those power prices coming down as a result of Renewables.”🔥 #Estimates

Good point!

For my money Michelle Grattan lost it years ago. She has had a long and distinguished career. Pity she didn’t retire before she trashed her own legacy.

I don’t think there’s anything former about his IPA association.

He’s always been one of the smarmier and egotistical ones…

Probably because it’s never occurred to any decent folk that an elected representative would do this to their constituents. He plumbs new depths…

YouTube video by Kirsti Miller30 The Transgender female athletes advantage is a myth.

There are 10 – 15 million trans women worldwide, 81,500 Olympians since trans women have been openly allowed to compete as women, and yet not a single Olympic medal of any colour has been won by a trans woman in 11 Olympic Games.

For me, the rot set in when the wheel was invented and we put animals to work.

Oh wow! Here’s some pain relief. Now get out!!!!

Let them look after you. Feel better soon.

I think about this a lot.

This is really bad!
First - it seems some kind of monitoring and/or database is being kept on community independent volunteers - and then there's the refusal to serve a constituent based on their political views.
This is REALLY bad!!! #auspol

It was in the colour supplement of The Australian, entitled The boy who kicked the hornet’s nest.

*That’s “no”, not “Bo”. Flipping heck.
