This is an absolutely crazy deal!* ALDI is offering a 6kW solar system, with a 5.1kWh battery, *with installation* for $8k!

Absolutely fucking nuts!

* Obvious caveats about checking the offering is right for you and your circumstances. This is so, so, so cheap. Do your due diligence!

Discount supermarket chain launches low-cost solar and battery offering, bringing home storage to the masses. But is this a good thing?

Given the immense vastness of all the music ever created by humanity, it’s such a weird coincidence that the very best songs all happened to be released when I was aged 14-21.

Dear ABC,
I don’t know if you come here for feedback, but if you do, could you please get some young person with technical skill and commonsense to redesign your listen App? The search facility is completely woeful, and the categorisation of programs to listen to makes no sense.
You have one job.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

After cutting their teeth playing in sweaty pubs across Australia, #ColdChisel started recording their debut album in 1978. But no one anticipated how difficult it would be to capture their lightning energy on stage in the studio.

Search Cold Chisel on the LiSTNR app. Episode 4 out now.

STAT ALERT: India lost 5th wicket at 59; Australia were 38-5. Total: 97 for 10. It is the first Test since 1987 in which, in the two teams' first innings combined, the top 5 wickets have added fewer than 100 runs. Over 1400 Tests played since it last happened. stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/st...

STAT ALERT: This is the 4th time Australia have been 6 down before reaching 50 in a home Test innings since 1952; and only the third time ever they have been 6 down for <50 in their first innings of a home Test series (also: 1978-79 Ashes; and one-off Test v Eng in 1887-88).

The very best thing for the ALP would be to have to govern with independents - a lot of them.

It'd also be the best thing for the nation.

The federal ALP is no longer up to the task of governing with a majority. They don't have the talent or policy core.

Anyone with that gets rooted out early

Ha, apparently the fake accounts are starting to show up. This is not me... If you all could report it and then block it, that would be great. Thank you! @moderation.bsky.app @safety.bsky.app
