Single frame. Left: man and woman at kitchen table having drinks. Woman pointing to her phone, saying: “Immigrants are causing the housing crisis, the environmentalists want to ruin our lifestyle, and our children’s minds are being poisoned by woke!” Right: Young teen girl walking through doorway carrying drink and plate with sandwich, says, “Omigod Mum, put that thing down, can’t you see what it’s doing to you?”

Frustrating. I am getting zero reach on my soap FB page because apparently Meta wants everyone to pay for reach. ($87 a month for Business Plus!)

In other news, if you're in Australia, today is probably the last day I can guarantee delivery for Xmas.

Lucy & Ricky still need their forever home! In Greenwhich, CT, they're a bonded, wobbly (cerebellar hypoplasia) pair but the condition is mild! See vid (3rd "image") on their profile to see their balance. They spent all their lives at shelter. Please share to find them a home! #kitten #rescue #cat

When 'common sense' cuts are code for a cruel con job
"NDIS costs soar as children flock to scheme" is a headline people accept – but other soaring bills are accepted as a cost of doing business.

(a) this really is a bloody great piece and

(b) it occurs to me that Data Centres In Space are very similar to Musk's Mars colonisation promise in that the obvious actual goal is to enable and excuse more harm on Earth today and tomorrow, rather than sincerely aim for the stated goal years from now

an important read for at least 2 reasons:

1. shows how big tech operates on intuitions and vibes and not rigorous research

2. this is a masterpiece in how to breakdown complex scientific concepts in simple language and elegant pros that captivate the lay reader

taranis.ie/datacenters-...
Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.
There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

BRS should be stripped of his Victoria Cross. The War Memorial, sadly, has become a vehicle for the glorification of war (sponsored by weapons manufacturers), rather than the Memorial it was meant to be.

THREAD.

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.

We decided to call him Jim.

This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.
As you can see here, right from the very first day he entered our house, Jim found great difficulty in getting settled and making the environment his own.

"Why were ‘for profit’ corporate parasites who send profits overseas within 10km of the BOM? Just why? Do we need more proof that consulting firms are con artists? When do we finally put an end to governments across Australia being taken for rides by these criminals in expensive suits?"

As if carbon offsets weren’t a big enough fraud…welcome to the world of ‘biodiversity offsets’…sure the idea failed dismally in NSW but Murray Watt is keen to have a crack…

what could go wrong?

Just even more extinctions i suppose…#climate #nature

So we can now add #JulianHill to the list of #Labor dicks for this stupid & clearly unhelpful point of view of the @greens.org.au ! And to think they want the #Greens to compromise on the appalling #Labor Environmental Protection Act !! #AusPol @sarahhansonyoung.bsky.social
The assistant minister for immigration, Julian Hill, has hit out at the Coalition and One Nation for stoking an increasingly “toxic debate” on immigration in Australia. Speaking at a conference at the Australian National University in Canberra on Tuesday, Hill said the parties are seeking to “generate anger, trade on the ancient human instinct to fear people who are different, or to foster division for some belief in short-term partisan gain.” But he warned the Coalition of forgetting the lessons of One Nation’s rise in the late 1990s, when leader Pauline Hanson first rose to prominence for attacks on Asian immigration. She was suspended from the Senate on Monday after a stunt in which she donned a burqa in the chamber and disrupted the sitting. Hanson has a bill to ban face coverings before parliament now. Hill said former prime minister John Howard understood how to deal with Hanson. “As Penny Wong said last week, you can’t out-Pauline, Pauline,” he told the conference. The Labor party knows this with respect to the Greens political party – you can’t out green the Greens, and do not ever try. They are populists and not actors of good faith. Their political business model is as a party of protest not a party of progress – similar in that sense, actually, to One Nation. To try to accommodate them is to legitimise them. Many voters then conclude - why buy the lite version? Hill praised the shadow immigration minister, Paul Scarr, for pushing back on Coalition rhetoric around “mass migration” and said Liberal and National MPs were “running around spreading fear and nonsense.” https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2025/nov/25/australia-politics-live-anthony-albanese-sussan-ley-tanya-plibersek-domestic-violence-helpline-pauline-hanson-burqa-net-zero-labor-coalition-greens-question-time-ntwnfb

We'll see more & more of this. 15cm hail fell in parts of Brisbane today & destroyed all my solar panels. Not the first destructive storm here this month & it's not even storm season yet. Meanwhile the Albanese govt is busy pushing climate destroying environmental legislation through

A huge piece of chunky hail held in the palm of a white person's hand, it's much bigger than the palm Two solar panels on a corrugated iron roof, there are several smashed holes in them
