Orcas are sinking yachts, right?
Orcas are also killing great white sharks and eating their livers.

What if, hypothetically, they're hoping the yachts have some nice chianti and fava beans to go with the livers?

It will financially cripple Tasmania, but hey, let's debate it and ignore the experts! We love shiny things and the AFL said we must. 🤦‍♂️

Granddaughter made little pies for dessert. Blueberries and very dark chocolate. We may keep her.

One* reason I don't have many friends my own age: having coffee, listening to four old people at the next table whining about how hard it is to be an employer. You have to pay Superannuation, give them holidays as and for sacking them! "You can't just tap them on the shoulder any more".

Google is days away from adopting 'be evil' as a ethical principle
Nowhere near enough is being made of Google taking a clear, intentional and planned step into the techno-fascist position on energy and climate

It literally came with its own PDF white paper. This is clear and intentional and thought-through.

Curriculum day at school so we had the g'kids. It's a hard life. Reading, knitting, board games and endless eating. No TV, no hassles although former favourite granddaughter said very thoughtfully, "You are a *very* satisfying man to tease."

Teacher enthusiasm is systematically and deliberately drained by appalling working conditions, poor pay and inadequate resourcing.

Parental support is impossible when you need to work two jobs to afford food and pay a mortgage.

Geezus these people are petty, vindictive, controlling fucks. I don't even think the LNP believe any of the lies they try to sell to the general public. They're just hateful bigots who fundamentally don't care about people and only care about enforcing their agendas on everyone else.
