Arrests of Kyrgyz opposition politicians all over the country today ahead of the snap parliamentary elections that President Japarov has assured will be “peaceful and quiet.

The current regime is not taking any chances and putting even its mildest opponents behind bars

Casbia leptorrhoda (I think)

A new observation for our Perth Hills garden, this species of Casbia seems to be found primarily in Western Australia

When I was wanting to buy a #solarbattery for my home I didn’t have any help
Except for the online sites like solar choices and a govt one on dos and donts
Some people here helped too but I was mostly flying solo

So if you have helpful advice for others
Could we create a #solar thread 😁🙏

Just did my first look at applications for a postdoc position I advertised. I am BEGGING you- if you're applying for a postdoc, please actually say what you're interested in that my group does! Sooooo many submit an app that never says how they want to connect to what we do! 🔭🧪

We're at crisis point @jacintaallen. You have ministers for racing & casinos in the inner cabinet & outside, the Minister for 'Creative Industries', Colin Brooks. We need you to step up now. The #StateLibrary, an internationally known cultural jewel, is being crunched in the jaws of incompetence.

I don't know man, waltzing into the oval office, making the president eat out of your hand like a horse, and then making the president's coalition start stabbing each other in the face behind the scenes just doesn't seem like an effective strategy to me

#Victorians! Our State Library is being trashed by a series of executives with no experience or understanding of public collections. Many hired as 'temps' without full process, who then caused scandals & exodus of specialist & librarian staff: a full wreck looms. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...
State Library proposes major cuts to staff and services
The library plans halve the number of reference librarians it employs and reduce the number of computers available for public use in a move that has outraged staff.

Great to meet @albomp.bsky.social in Johannesburg today.

We’re working to get our free trade negotiations over the finish line.

We’re also working to deepen our cooperation on security and defence.

And we’re working to step up our cooperation on research and innovation!

Gas as a 'transition fuel' is a concept from the 1990s.

'We have a gas shortfall in future years & that’s why we have been very clear that we want gas to be part of that transition”

Pretty embarrassing the Victorian Liberals had to go to the NT to find a keynote party speaker from a culturally diverse background for their “multicultural” fundraiser. All it says is they have no one prominent at the state or federal level
