If we have such a massive fuel stock why are prices skyrocketing in line with international prices that we theoretically aren't paying 'cos all the oil has already been bought?

This is the same bullshit as interest rates on a loan you took out 10+ years earlier. It doesn't cost the bank extra

Motherfucking ants. Been reading they’re bad in Melbourne right now and tonight was our turn I guess.

My heebies were jeebying.

If #DriveToSurvive has shown me anything it's that lots of #F1 people in power don't respect boundaries or bodily autonomy of even their drivers and it's fucking gross. I see all of the ones doing this shit and I'm not surprised they're also in the Epstein Files. 🤢

RIP Rob Grant. I hope you find your way to Silicon Heaven. Your comedy and art made a huge impact on an impressionable young me that I've never quite recovered from.

The urge to tell fellow oldies we only use single spaces after a full stop now when I see one in the wild is not 0.

I love this! 🤍

Oh.

So with very little searching on my part we've found the astroturfing link. Marty's employer is a supporter/partner in a rival wind farm proposal.

This should ALL have been in the original article

A notification of Iberdrola working with Exxon Mobil

THERE IT IS - the link. Marty opposes the JERA Nex BP project, but buried in the article he says: "You can get more gigawatt return from Iberdrola [another wind farm proponent] at 25km than you will from Blue Mackerel at 10km,"

Let's take a look at the Iberdrola Aurora proposal shall we?

Maybe this guy really is genuine in his opposition to a wind farm 10km offshore, I don't know. But by failing to research and/or declare any potential conflict of interest it makes the entire story circumspect and appear to be little more than astroturfing. The ABC needs to do better.

A reminder for journalists, reporters, and anyone else screaming into the void. Check your sources. If someone is stirring up a fight about an offshore wind farm that will be near impossible to see with the naked eye, ask why they might be so opposed. Like, are they employed by a rival company?

On one hand, people are certainly able to defend themselves against allegations they believe to be false by any and all legal avenues, but on the other hand Gaiman can get in the fucking sea

The Japanese Communist Party shared this video telling voters what it stands for:
•a society in which people get fair pay and healthcare
•freedom, equality, and no unfair discrimination
•taxing the ultra wealthy

This is me. Rheumatologist did repeat bloods while off, then on, then off again, and on glp-1 again. Inflammation markers corresponded very high every time I was off it.

Accurate lol

Lmao noooo 😭

People Magazine is incredibly clear eyed about ICE being a terrorist organization. I’ll probably buy a subscription because of it:

X aka Twitter allows people to edit your artwork, allows people to create AI images of real photos you upload, is full of Nazis, and despite all of this there are still so many artists who still use the app am I missing something?

There isn’t enough air or space in these for the cat to be comfortable. They’re a fad but REALLY bad for cats. There’s no space to relax, move, hide, with poor airflow. There’s tons of poor reviews on them from pet owners about overheating as the plastic traps heat. :( www.reddit.com/r/PetAdvice/...
