It surprises me that Musk’s arrogant, autocratic, incompetent, mistake-prone, drug-addled, and deadly reign at DOGE is not mentioned. Nor does it discuss his Nazi salute, support for far-right political causes, and turning Twitter into a purveyor of lies and hate.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

Ok my EG Whitlam yarn. Early 90's Gough is speaker at a national Young Labor dinner. I'm a new SVP and get to sit next to him. He's being introduced by another delegate - at inappropriate length. Gough leans in a bit to me and asks *do the voice*
