I'd like to think this is how it went down

If she knew, then I hope so.

It would be amazing if mummy didn't know.

Don’t forget, when Pauline drops racist bombshells into the media for everyone to react to, she’s now being funded by Gina Rinehart, major contributor to racist propaganda group Advance and inspired by MAGA-guru Steve “flood the zone with bullshit” Bannon.
The offence is the point.

Welcome to middle-age, my friend, welcome.

Government continues to withhold climate risk report As allies share their national risk assessments for climate breakdown, the Albanese government refuses to release its ‘frankly terrifying’ report from 2022.

The Albanese government has sat for more than three years on the climate risk assessment it commissioned from the ONI. All attempts to use FOI and parliamentary procedures to access the documents have been unsuccessful. satpa.pe/corZhNG

Plan to increase fixed network costs will take from the poor, give to the rich and slash returns on PV and batteries Households could face a four-fold increase in network costs as a result of the regulator's radical new proposal - a Robin Hood scheme in reverse.

Electricity retailers unhappy folks are supplying and storing their own energy instead of buying from them. Not happy with ripping folks off on their solar FiTs to make profit, now they want to slug everyone 5x the daily supply charge. reneweconomy.com.au/plan-to-incr...

Angus Taylor and the doctored document mystery: ‘It took us about 30 seconds to realise it was a fake’ | Ten years of Guardian Australia When the minister tried to ‘pour a bucket of dirt’ over Sydney lord mayor Clover Moore, he ended up with mud all over himself. Investigative reporter Anne Davies spills all

4. Guy who, in 2019, falsely accused respected Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore of vast travel expenses largesse, based on what turned out to be a fake document. He obfuscated, and denied his office had doctored anything.

"It looks a little messier than we hoped," his staffer, on WhatsApp.

Company part-owned by Angus Taylor illegally poisoned grasslands, ministerial review finds The 18-month process affirms original finding that Jam Land’s clearing had a significant impact on critically endangered native habitat

2. Guy who co-founded and helped manage a speculative company that later (in 2017) received $80 million from taxpayers, paid into its Caymans account, for surprisingly expensive, low security cotton water rights attached to properties it owned near St George. He denies any involvement.

This Angus Taylor, ICYMI.
We still don't know where that money went btw - bc Cayman Islands.

Very nice! There ain't much sunlight getting to ground level at 300nm. Is there a path for making that, say, >400nm or so?

Just discovered $3 billion in extra nuclear sub spending between May and December $15.4B → $18.6B

Where's the $3 billion going? Defence: "Take it on notice"

That's enough money to build 10,000s public homes but for Defence it's pocket change they lost down back of the couch.

Very happy to advertise a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Exoplanet Science position with me and Christian Schwab at Macquarie University in Sydney.

We'll be working on applying machine learning & differentiable physics models to extremely precise radial velocity surveys.

Update on the post below: in a letter sent to Chile's Environmental Assessment Service on 6 February, AES Andes requested the withdrawal of INNA from evaluation.

This formally confirms that INNA is not going ahead.

I'm sure it's not deliberate, ish

The horizon is lit up by green, yellow shimmer caused by the airglow.

Until recently, only one of our four 8-m telescopes was equipped with lasers. But now one additional laser has been installed in each of the other three.

Fossil Hunting Holiday at Beaumaris, Australia - Feb 2017 G'day all! I have just returned from a three day collecting trip to Beaumaris, a coastal suburb of Melbourne in Australia. This report acts as a pictorial overview of the trip and provides an insight ...

Thanks! Yeah, the wormhole ones are great, too, and there's loads. Some of the shark teeth found in Beaumaris are pretty amazing (we checked it place out previously): www.thefossilforum.com/topic/71996-...

Cool! I don't have a trained eye for "Is this a real fossil?" myself, but my kid's very interested to find them. Which beach? We went to Beaumaris and found lots of "heart urchin" fossils (about 5 million years old, apparently) and a "maybe it's a shark tooth" one as well.

If ever an alien asks me to explain why humans didn’t do anything about climate change, I’ll just tell them to watch bin night unfold on a residential street in Australia.

Exactly. And so many interesting details, like her dyslexia.

@asherwolf.bsky.social Just noticed that you’ll get a cool change overnight. Hope it brings relief, at last!

Zeitgeisty?
