VIC election: Greens support is surging from recent polling1 – can you help us demonstrate community support by hosting a sign? Putting a sign in your yard or on your fence, wall or balcony is the easiest way to help us get the word out and push back against the red, orange and blue wave.

Google is updating its satellite images of Gaza. The comprehensiveness of effort required to reduce an urban landscape to this is beyond imagining. Literal carpet bombing.

I want you to think about the kids in your life. Maybe those kids are 8. Maybe they are 32. Do they know enough about snails? Hard to imagine anyone truly knowing *enough* about snails. Help those kids learn snailhood. Get them a Snail Facts advent calendar. SquidFacts.net.
An 11x14 inch poster featuring snails, slugs, nudibranchs, and other snails! There are 24 yellow-green snail shells that you can scratch off. There's a leaf sheep and sea bunny and sea angel and fire snail and banana slug and mystery snail and ramshorn snail and candy cane snail

Go back to watch this. It’s absolutely spot on. The massive jump in ON’s numbers isn’t “natural.” It is very likely an anomaly reflecting massive social media distortion. Manipulating algorithms? Overseas disinformation factories. Who is paying for it? Gina’s money @ Advance? Or? #Auspol
