Why is anyone giving that bloviated windbag any attention at all?
'Greta Thunberg? I’d rather take my eyes out with a fork than spend a time in a room with a screeching, babbling nuisance.'

1. Hmmm, how can I put this politely...
Australia is fucked.
... Not so much because of the "climate" but because no one is yet shouting it loud and clear that the country's political class which has facilitated 30 years of massive carbon emissions are guilty of treason - plain and simple.
EXTRAORDINARY HISTORIC 47C AUSTRALIA
Australia is living one of its most extreme heat events in history with records from West to East
Deadly record heat in WESTERN AUSTRALIA:
47.4 Mandera
47.1 Fitzory Crossing
Records also in QUEENSLAND and NEW SOUTH WALES
35.7 Gold Coast
33.8 Byron Bay
30.9 Flinders Reef
Over 240 countries and territories are currently breakin heat records (near 100% of total).
Nice internet cables you've got there, Osstrellya. It'd be a shame if anything were to happen to them...
NINETY-NINE PERCENT of Australia’s international internet traffic travels through about 15 cables on the seafloor. As @RichardMarlesMP put it, they’re the arteries of modern life, and they can be cut by an anchor at night.
Protecting them is one more reason to deepen our cooperation through #AUKUS.

Oof, she keeps digging down when she should be digging up. The use of "degenerate" is an incredible dog whistle.

Australians, be afraid. Very afraid.
A small sample with thanks to @RonniSalt in @shot_au
The lack of accountability is extraordinary -Jillian Segal & her position should go, along with her advisor at large Yaron Finkelstein - great piece by @RonniSalt They are creating division & threatening our civil liberties

Govt can find $368B and an additional $$150B to purchase nuclear subs and store weapons grade nuclear waste yet poor Australians survive in a tents. Public housing for US troops while battlers are ignored. What has Australia become? Why do we put warmongering before people?
Can someone please PLEASE explain to me how they can acknowledge things like the death of a noted actor but nothing about the genocides in Palestine, in Sudan, etc...?
Patrick Stewart was a wonderful actor and the best ever captain of the starship Enterprise.
Star Trek imagines a future in which we strive to treat each other decently and follow our curiosity to expand the sum of human knowledge.
I will miss you, Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

Hi @RoughTrade just wondering if there will be a non limited release of Lemonjelly. ky (and 64-95 album)? I've missed out even the new pressings are going for silly money. Is it worth my whole to wait and see or do I bite the bullet and buy a v expensive copy on Discogs?

Ampol profits are up 376% as the oil sector cashes in on Iran war.
The windfall profits come as Australians suffer soaring petrol prices and the Labor government refuses to adequately tax the sector.
"The war’s costs have effectively been passed onto global households while the select few profit. In Australia, this has come with government support."

Revelations like this are why Australians are totally fed up with the political class. Working Australians are being hammered everywhere with price rises only to find out Ampol's profit is up by 370%!!!

Santos has now paid ZERO company tax for 11 years straight.
Inpex’s Ichthys LNG project reportedly generated $52.9 billion in sales over seven years while paying zero company tax and zero PRRT.
AGL reported $13.1 billion in total income and paid zero company tax.
Adani Mining reported $1.3 billion in total income and paid zero company tax.
Yet ordinary Australians are constantly lectured about government revenue, spending and everyone needing to pay their fair share.
Australia’s natural resources belong to Australians. Companies should be able to make a profit from developing them, but Australians deserve a fair return as well.
Something is seriously wrong when billions flow through these companies while the company tax column says $0.
Great thread and excellent review. Still can't work out why so many don't like it. I get that some were expecting the debut part 2 but it'd be a bit dull if they just made more of the same, esp after so long a (unplanned) gap.

The Stone Roses — Second Coming.
Now THIS is a difficult second album.
Five years after one of the most celebrated British debuts ever made, expectation had become almost impossible. People weren’t simply waiting for another Stone Roses album.
