I do not wish to alarm anyone, but there appears to be, what I think is water, falling from the sky. 😜 I do recall, when I was a much younger man, that this did happen. Does anyone else recall such a thing? #rain #drought #barossa #greenock

I just had a real laugh out loud moment. I heard the Liberal Party described as a "One Nation tribute band". Gold!

RIP irony. Of all the literary devices, you were always our favourite. Thank you for helping us understand how pompous, hollow and stupid we can be. The fact that it was an unvarnished plank like Dan Tehan that finally did you in is, well, ironic. You will be missed.b

Today my feed here and elsewhere on SM was entirely filled with crap coming out of the US—They voted for it and they got it. My care factor is now less than zero. I went to mute a bunch of words, when I got to ICE I had an issue. I like mixed drinks, muting ice will have unintended consequences.

🇨🇳 Every second, China bolts down ~100 solar panels. H1 2025: 67% of global solar already. And before decade’s end, China’s solar capacity ALONE will eclipse the whole US grid. The first true electrostate is here—rising at hyperscale, rewriting energy history in real time. ⚡☀️ #Solar #EV #Energy #BESS

@alankohler.bsky.social Hi Alan, Just a heads up about your current ABC article. WRT "laugh-or-cry-o-metre". Metre is a unit of linear measurement. Meter is something that makes measurements.

The paradox of recent migrants physically wrapping themselves in the flag of a foreign nation, itself a confusion of flags from three other nations. #auspol

Interesting research. The sainted father of the Liberal Party, Robert Menzies, July 1939: "Hitler has proved himself a great man and a tireless worker. He dragged his nation from bankruptcy and revolution, and I think he has too much intelligence lightly to cast them back into another war." Oops.

Happy 'straya day. I hope you all are commemorating the fact that on this day in 1788, Captain Phillip decided to move the elements of the fleet that had arrived in Botany Bay to Port Jackson. Seems a strange thing to commemorate. 🤷 Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi! Oi! Oi! (or something).

I really need to re-imagine my list of folk I am following. It all seems to be endless drivel about politics and all of the endless drivel that journalistic fanbois spout. The problem is, some of these folk have brief interludes of interesting stuff then revert to boring, meaningless politics.

During the Great Fire of London the rumour quickly spread that foreign migrants were responsible. Foreigners were beaten up & even lynched. The fire’s severity was in fact caused by unusually dry conditions and high winds.

When I was 10 in school in 1990 every one of us clearly understood that use of fossil fuels was having a heating effect on the atmosphere. This would intensify droughts, wildfires, hurricanes. And now that future has come to pass and the billionaires are blaming black people, gays and fish.

Does anyone remember when the fire season was generally in summer and Australia's season was at the opposite time of year to the US? Well the Grampians are all go, NSW has about 45 fires on the books and California is ablaze at the same time. I am glad I am not playing that game any more.

It appears that during the innings break, the SCG ground staff removed the hissing pit of vipers that was the pitch and have replaced it with a road. Is that what happened? Or is there a fundamental issue with the Australian Dad's Army?

One of the many astonishing facts about Jimmy Carter: He installed solar panels on the White House in 1979. "Harnessing the power of the sun", he said. "One of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people.” Reagan took them down in 1986.

Well, @bsky.app you discover algorithm seems to be a bit off kilter. 90% of the non-followed posts are about US politics. I am not in the US, I hate all politics and left the other place because of the endless politics in feeds. Do I need to block all political pundits to correct the algorithm?

I am new here I have just discovered the mute words function. Although this place is far more pleasant than the other place, by muting "Trump", "zion", "zionist" and "Israel" it has now taken most of the boring stuff away too! Winning!
