When I say "I have a conflict with this meeting" I do not mean that I have another meeting at the same time.

What I mean is, I take ubmrage against it. I have a feud with it on a historic scale.

We were lost in Spain and my wife asked for directions at a gas station. A trucker said, "In life, my love, we are all lost" and then had us follow him to the exit we needed. I think of it when I take a wrong turn. (Sounds better in the original Spanish "En la vida mi amor todos estamos perdidos.")
do you ever have things that someone has said to you that live forever in your head (non-serious edition)? some older boomer hippie guy said “hahmmus gives you fahts” to me 26 years ago at a free fridge and i think of it every fucking single time i buy hummus to this day.

Men did not “give” Women rights. White people did not “give” people of color rights. Gay Disabled All the other people… were not “given” rights by a bunch of men. They WITHHELD them… and then those rights had to be taken back. And now they’re trying to withhold them again.

Absolutely just strutting directly into the most powerful narratives being deployed in bad faith by opponents: that offshore wind projects are environmentally destructive.
Grattan's idea to scrap nature protections for offshore wind would be a bad precedent.

There are dual processes because offshore wind is built in Cwealth waters + transmission crosses into states.

What's actually needed is better state+federal industry policy. 1/2 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...
Offshore wind developments drown in 'green tape'
At least three companies bow out of the race to develop an offshore wind farm off the state's south-west coast, with one citing an unexpected amount of "green tape".

I once went to see Coretta Scott King speak at NYU when I was a teenager.

She said she had always believed that if Jimmy Carter had been re-elected, race relations would be substantially better in the US.
