Lots of Cybertrucks in Vancouver. They’re even stupider looking in real life, but then you see the drivers… What an expensive way to signal to the world that you’re a deplorable PoS.

Disinformation propaganda works. Especially when there is pretty much zero effort to counter it. We fixed this for smoking. It’s fixable for climate but not without government putting its shoulder to the wheel.

My daughter just had to sit by an injured kangaroo and wait for the police to come and euthanise it (broken legs). Roads around Canberra are a carnage for local wildlife, and “they’re just stupid” is not a valid response. There are many things which need to be done, but little political will.

Hiya Bluesky friends: any Canadians (specifically Vancouverites) out there? I want to buy a laptop in Vancouver, and I’d welcome recommendations for decent retailers. It’s a birthday present for someone and going to select it (rather than online) is part of the gift.

So, the sign isn’t some extra legal protection? It’s just “keep out, the poppy growers say so. Oh, you might die if you misuse this.”

No, me neither!
Don't forget - he's the leader of a #FarRight party. Of course he's still a racist POS.

I'm guessing ABCTV's #Insiders will spend half the program tomorrow morning on Barnaby Joyce leaving the Nats, the rest on Sussan Ley's leadership. With 3min on the actual Govt being "criticised for sticking to #NetZero during a #CostOfLiving Crisis." 🙄 #auspol

I really hate “Black Friday” and “cyber Monday” sales. We don’t do thanksgiving here, so why is this retail nonsense being imported? Then I look at the other people who say things like this, and realise I’m in really bad company for the most part. So I’ll just roll my eyes at retailers and move on.
