It is a truth universally acknowledged that you can vote fascists into power, but you cannot vote them out again.

My sister was a sufficiently accomplished pianist to have studied piano and voice at the Conservatorium of Music in Hobart in the late 60s.

NSW is facing severe heatwaves, raising concerns about power outages. Analysis shows that Australia’s ageing coal plants are increasingly unreliable, driving power shortages and price spikes, especially in summer. With coal set to retire by 2035, we must accelerate the shift to renewables & storage.

The very first piece of Occupational Health and Safety advice I ever remember was my maternal grandmother saying β€œTake the pot to the kettle, not the kettle to the pot”.

Children among 58 killed in latest Israeli strikes on Gaza, say medics Victims reported to include six people escorting aid convoy, and eight in tent encampment in humanitarian zone

β€œChildren among 58 killed in latest Israeli strikes on Gaza, say medics”

It’s genocide.

This is beyond dispute.

Apparently SPIT ON A TESLA is an actual thing.
It’s not coordinated, but people are just doing it in protest against Musk’s enthusiastic embrace of Fascism.

Talking about the local Xmas parade, my 7yo granddaughter asked β€œIs it going to be the real Santa, or just an old person in a Santa dress-up”
She has obviously been disappointed previously.

Why is it β€˜a nice glass of wine’ rather than β€˜a glass of nice wine’?
I understand that the glass is important, but I still think that the wine is importanter.

I’ve been boycotting Woolworths (and Coles) for about a decade now.
So they are not going to notice my renewed determination to never enter their stores.

EVs rule energy efficiency. They use ~77% of electricity for motion, vs gas cars wasting 85%.  Example: Kona EV costs ~$436/year to charge, gas Kona? $1,415. Each $ on EV energy gets you 3.2x the range. Plus, less maintenance & more fun!

How about you just pay your warehouse workers a decent wage.
It’s not as is you can’t afford it.

Why are you doing this?
