Another one bites the dust. 🍾
Well I am sure that the NSW Liberals will have a thorough analysis of why they lost to a Teal who’s policies were The Environment, Cost of Living and Integrity in Politics and come to the conclusion that they need to move further to the right.
At the same time Labor will analyse it and come to the conclusion that they have to attack The Greens, then agree to a developer bulldozing koala habitat.
Grumpy, cynical mood today 😠

Not a big one for sending vibes to people, but I’m sending all my love and support out to Harry today, he has impressed me for years on his talking about mental health issues and his support for the #lgbtqcommunity
Big hugs coming to you from me mate.

The Guardian (Aus) asking the important questions.
I hope they are asking their US audience would they vote for Australia’s opposition leader and then presenting the results back to them like it’s something important.

What a fucken disgrace and it’s happening in Australia too. Neo-liberalism vacuums up wealth and trickles down misery.
Don’t bet on Labour in the UK fixing it either when they get in, their counterparts in Aus have done fuck all to help here.

Watched ep2 of the new Doctor Who season. Not sure if I want to continue. It was utterly stupid. Is this what happens when Disney gets involved? A bunch of exposition loosely strung together into a ridiculous story.
This is in no way a reflection on Ncuti Gatwa, who I think is brilliant and loved in Sex Education.

The Australian LABOR party is choosing to keep people in poverty. Rat bastards.
I am looking forward to even more greens and teals at the next federal election.

Israel now Offloading their morality to AI.
It rapidly identified POTENTIAL “junior” operatives.
My favourite line —— There were times when a Hamas operative was defined more broadly, and then the machine started bringing us all kinds of civil defence personnel, police officers, on whom it would be a shame to WASTE bombs.
Hey we were just following directives from the AI.
Fuck Israel

I feel for this family but its baffling how the media often prioritizes coverage of a missing blonde white woman over a missing First Nations woman. There's a clear disparity in attention and representation.
Maybe Jake Cassar could help find the 300 odd first nations women who have gone missing in the last decade as well, take some time off from his YouTube, Insta and relentless self promotion.

The U.S. likes to talk a lot about democracy, but very rarely acts democratically whether internationally or domestically.

Well finally finished the cleanup, chopped up massive fallen branch from next doors tree that missed my car by about 3 inches, helped neighbour rebuild the fallen fence between our two properties, collected all the garden furniture scattered over the suburb and debriefed with friends and neighbours. Was slightly terrifying at one stage. Never seen wind like it.

Been working on a seasonal calendar for Melbourne that makes more sense than northern hemisphere bollocks, I’ve put it together from various sources. Enjoy 🙏
The Wurundjeri people, who are part of the Kulin Nation, are the traditional owners of the land now known as the Melbourne area in Australia. Their calendar is closely tied to the seasonal changes and natural phenomena specific to their region.
Biderap (Early Summer):
- December and January mark the beginning of Biderap, the early summer season.
- The weather is usually warm with occasional rain showers.
- Plants and trees begin to flower, including wattle, cherry ballart, and blue flax lily.
- Eels start to migrate downstream from freshwater rivers to estuaries.
Iuk (Mid-Summer):
- February and March represent Iuk, the mid-summer season.
- The weather becomes hotter and drier.
- The flowering season continues, with wattles, purple coral pea, and tea trees blooming.
- Reptiles, such as snakes, are active during this time.
- The Wurundjeri people traditionally held ceremonies to mark the summer solstice.
Waring (Late Summer):
- April and May signify Waring, the late summer season.
- The weather starts to cool down, but days can still be warm.
- Fruits like bush tomatoes and lilly pilly begin to ripen.
- Koalas are more active and can be spotted in trees.
- Possums and other animals start to feed on the ripening fruits.
Woorr (Early Winter):
- June and July mark Woorr, the early winter season.
- The weather gets colder, and rain becomes more frequent.
- Many plants shed their leaves, and fungi start to appear.
- The Wurundjeri people would traditionally gather for ceremonies, storytelling, and sharing of knowledge during this time.
- Emus start nesting, and echidnas can be seen foraging for food.
Beek (Mid-Winter):
- August and September represent Beek, the mid-winter season.
- The weather is typically cold, with occasional frost.
- Some plants, like the native cherry, produce edible fruit.
- The Wurundjeri people focus on maintaining and repairing their tools during this time.
- Many birds, including cockatoos and galahs, gather in large flocks.
Guling (Late Winter):
- October and November signify Guling, the late winter season.
- The weather starts to warm up, and occasional rain showers occur.
- The land becomes greener as plants and trees prepare to flower.
- The Wurundjeri people begin planning for the upcoming warmer seasons.
- Many migratory birds start returning to the area.
If I have gotten anything wrong let me know.
Working on a wall calendar too, but my designs skills have a lot to be desired.
Also working on a Boonwurung version.

AEMO is rubbish. solar, wind, battery and micro grids would do the job.
Their problem is if we go down that path of micro grids, the need for AEMO goes away and they don’t want that.

Fuck the fuck off.
The autistic people I know have a better developed sense of right and wrong, fairness and morality than all of the Christians I Know.
Maybe this is more about the people who built the tool and their fear of the different.
