Good morning Melbourne! In line with new requirements from today we are not adding a payment surcharge to Myki top-ups performed via credit card. We weren't previously, but we're also not doing so from today. We hope this post has been useful. #MetroTrains

y'all if you get mad about women saying "choose the bear" please look up bear assault and murder statistics and then contrast with human men. It is objectively reasonable to choose the bear.

Swamp Wallaby mother and joey.

Photo of two Swamp Wallabies at Sydney Zoo. One is an adult female, the other is a joey that is poking its head and tail out of the female's pouch. They resemble small Kangaroos, with shorter legs and faces, and rounder bodies. They are brown and orange with a black eye mask, black paws and feet, black ear tips, and a dark brown tail.

Close up photo of the mother wallaby's head, side view.

Close up photo of the joey's face as it looks directly at the viewer. With dark brown eyes.

There are no jobs on a dead planet. Job losses are bad, climate change means more than just job losses, it means deaths, no ability to sustain the way we live, famine, droughts, crop failures, natural disasters and so many bad things www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

The IPC released a statement acknowledging the emission of 809 megatonnes (Mt) of greenhouse gases from the mining operations and coal combustion overseas would contribute to climate change impacts across the Hunter, NSW and globally.

But it said those impacts were balanced against the "significant employment, business, social and economic benefits of the mine extension".

The approval comes with conditions, including implementing measures to limit coal exports to jurisdictions that have policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions consistent with the Paris Agreement, maximising the use of renewable energy at the mine, and purchasing additional carbon offsets.

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

This isn’t a routine extension. It’s the largest coal mine expansion proposed in NSW. Approving 429 million tonnes of coal well into the 2040s is completely incompatible with climate action. If Labor has any shred of climate integrity left, it must reject this project.

This project is a critical test of Labor’s climate credibility. The Hunter Valley Operations project would allow 429 million tonnes of coal to be mined through to 2045. Labor can’t claim to take climate action seriously and wave through 800 million tonnes of pollution.

The biggest coal mine expansion ever proposed in NSW has been approved by the Minns government. It threatens to wipe out Australia's emissions reductions. This is a major test for Anthony Albanese and Murray Watt; they cannot provide federal approval to a project of this scale.

Here's a suggestion: tell the people in your life that you appreciate them, and specify what you appreciate about them. If you have the spoons, choose someone today who you think deserves to be reminded that you see them and the things that do and appreciate the heck out of them, and tell them so.

Every industry, every sector, uses diesel - mainly for transportation, but also backup power and a few other use cases. This sharp increase in the price of diesel will drive price increases across the board: food, clothing, postage, manufacturing, everything.

Any time we hear "AI did this and this", it's not proof programs are becoming sentient, but that the humans deploying said AI did this (which is generally failing to deploy proper sandboxing measures to prevent an AI from going against security) It's not the AI that's rogue, it's the company
