Often sweary. Sometimes funny. Occasionally insightful. (I'm working on the order of those, but no promises 🤷‍♂️) Currently living on a branch up in a tree 🐒🌴

Event medic ⛑️
Patient Transport Officer 🚑
Paramedic in training 🚨
(Reformed advertiser 🙏)
Pinned
Well, after a six months in the Minor Leagues (volunteering for St John), I've decided to step up to the Majors and go pro.

I start my Paramedicine Degree in 2026.

🚨 ⛑️

This 'plan' is SO stupid

ZERO evidence of efficacy

ZERO ability to enforce it (by contrast, there are already multiple ways to evade it)

ZERO consideration that this WILL push young people on to less regulated and more dangerous platforms

ZERO people asked for it.

Except the Murdochs

Given the horror of the Hong Kong fires, a TOTALLY valid question to ask

Monkey's guess. No one.
So who monitors that the netting used in Australia for high rise construction is not flammable? @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social

This guy. I mean, WHAT a fucking shift he's put in, and continues to put in

He'll go down as a modern day Churchill, sans the blatant misogyny and racism

Narrator: What you need to know is that, based on mean property prices by Aust State, this program will do sweet fuck all (the cut offs barely exceed the means, and in some cases don't).

But then, it's also not really meant to shit bc the LAST thing LaBOr wants to do is help struggling Australians

Whilst this is a damning pie chart for Chump, the MUCH more problematic reading is that accepting trillions of dollars in debt is 'just how America works'

Until it doesn't.

Yeah?

They've also now locked down their ecosystem

If you buy an eBook though Amazon, you can ONLY read it on a Kindle. They updated their T&Cs months ago. Of course everyone (mostly) just hit the 'accept' button without realising it
I don't think we're going to have a successful Amazon boycott till we break their monopoly on indie books.

They have a clever strategy to build their monopoly, which any functional government would have banned: if you want your indie book listed in Kindle Unlimited, you have to be exclusive. 🧵

Bridges were covered to slow wood rot of the actual bridge. A bridge that was covered could last 100 years b4 repairs were needed. Bridges not covered may last 20 or 30 years before repair was needed.

First aid monkey medic update.

Since volunteering with St John around the middle of this year, I've clocked up over 100 duty hours. Ignore the 'unconfirmed'. It will be.

(Note: St John runs their years from the end of each Nov, not Dec, so anything next month is 'next year')

I LOVE the ascetics of these things. Wouldn't have it any other way

But can anyone tell me specifically why people decided to cover bridges like this?

If you don't KNOW, don't guess.

I'm keen to know 'why'
