FUN FACT If we switched to all renewable energy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall almost in half, slashing global CO2 emissions. Because those ships are JUST carrying coal, oil and gas. ~ Bill McKibben SUPPORT ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES!

The Pentagon has retroactively lowered the U.S. death toll in Trump's Iran War, claiming the four soldiers killed last weekend don't count because Trump declared a ceasefire in April. Trump's ego is so colossal he can't admit his own warmongering is getting Americans killed. Shameful.

I know Let's ask a question on public morality from a politician who organised a fake water sale for $80M, walked out on his own political party, had an affair with his staffer who got pregnant while he was still married, and who was recently found maggotted in a Canberra gutter Perfect

Still laughing about Dan Tehan on Radio National just then saying the Teals, Labor and Greens are colluding because they’ve been “exchanging T shirts with each other” He truly is the dumbest Liberal alive LOL

Ah yes, the old "I did not understand the technical term of headlock" defence - utterly laughable The Victorian Liberals (aka 'the rabble') are way overdue to get rid of this trouble-making transphobe Let's see if One Nation are stupid enough to pick her up

In news that should surprise absolutely no-one Karl Stefanovic has followed up his Tommy Robinson podcast with Holly Valance! Who's next - Nigel Farage? Katie Hopkins? Nine need to fire him immediately but that will probably play into his media plan because he (and Pauline) need to be 'victims'

Again I ask: Why didn't ANY journalist from the Australian media ask Pauline Hanson: Recently you were caught on hot mic calling a female reporter a 'nasty bitch' Will you next resort to using the term 'piggy' given Donald Trump also attacks female reporters with that disgusting slur?

Pauline Hanson completely flips her lid, unable to handle the fact she relies on Neo-Nazi support. Can’t deny they give her their vote, but won’t explain it’s coz her policies suit their agenda. Watch Anna Henderson put her in a world of pain. I guess the truth hurts. 🔥 #auspol

Solar tech has improved so much and come down in price some in CH use them to build fences. Balcony solar panels for flats produce enough to charge most devices. Rainfall capture is a big thing here too. So your house is completely off the grid for water supply as well.
