“There’s just no correlation between what News Corp says and what voters do”
Laura Tingle's observation is not so much "a parting shot", as a statement of fact.
The tragedy is that so many of her colleagues still suck up to #MurdochGutterMedia. #auspol

Laura Tingle exits press gallery after 40 years with parting shot on News Corp’s election ‘irrelevance’
The political editor for 7.30 signs off saying ‘there’s no correlation between what News Corp says and what voters do’. Plus: much ado for the Mail

The Murdoch press does not give a stuff about what Australians think. They tried, spectacularly unsuccessfully, to Trumpify our society and normalised hate and division.

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

Last year, China installed more solar panels than the U.S. did in the last 20 years. China’s total installed solar energy capacity is now 600 GW.
There is no time to waste. Time to dump fossil fuels and embrace the renewable revolution.

Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

After a solid half hour of research I finally decided on LibraryThing as my not-Goodreads going forward.
Boody annoying to trawl through reviews & feature lists but I guess this is the world we're in now.
No single over-arching app or service for things.
Still can't decide if that's good or bad.
