I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

I'm excited to announce the official Nullschool app is here!
earth.nullschool.net on mobile browsers works fine, but the app is nicer. Full screen display, persistence across sessions, text size that matches device settings. Even landscape works well.
And, like the website: no ads!

Our leaders are spineless. They fail us. Not good enough.
"We urge all parties to support dialogue and diplomacy"? What kind of nonsense statement is this? The US just bombed them with no cause, kidnapped their president and his wife, and declared that they would be running the country in order to secure its oil for themselves.

Summer at Snug Haus and we're busy with lots of visitors at the bnb ❤️. And people are happy to relax at this peaceful spot and watch the wildlife at night. Quolls! Always pademelons. Wallabies. Sometimes a bandicoot. There's a red light torch so the wildlife isn't spooked.

The ALP need to realise they will be criticised whatever they do, so how about do things that are good? And do things to please those who voted for you not those who never will.
The AFR run a 2 year campaign to get the ALP to weaken the changes to super tax concessions to make it easier to avoid paying the tax.
The ALP does it.

Moro's carrot soup. Great recipe to keep handy for any gastro type illness, really helped family members recently. Basically cook half a kg of chopped carrots in plenty of water for at least 1.5 hours, puree, add water to make a total of 1 litre and add one teaspoon salt.
