It’s not
Lol. Glad it’s not just me then.
WA is amazing though. Perth very much is not.

Saw more random acts of violence in Perth in 2 weeks than I have in 20 years in Adelaide.

At the height of the US postcard craze, “tall-tale” cards imagined a land of giant-sized plenty. In this 1909 series, Californian rail cars haul colossal fruit and veg — turning agricultural pride into something surreal and strangely beautiful: publicdomainreview.org/collection/g...
Australia actually has more than enough houses, they’re just owned by investors
Over the past 10 years, the number of new homes has been growing faster than the population. Read that sentence again if you need to, but doing so won’t change the facts.

Yeah, it's definitely a "Middle East" problem, and not colonial intervention and violence, genocide, ecocide, exploitation of resources, dispensational premillennialism, absurd Sykes-Picot land borders, the fossil fuel lobby, or anything else. It's just us. We're the problem.
So sorry that this process failed you and other robodebt victims. It’s so fucking unjust.
The NACC report is astonishing for just how many non-sequiturs, excuses and naive assumptions can be packed into 455 pages. The deputy commissioner who authored it is not a judge, unlike Catherine Holmes. And it shows. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/13/n...
Talarico: "There's another war in the Middle East. There's a cost of living crisis. There's a secret pedophile ring & no one has been prosecuted. So the people responsible are trying to distract us with the same old culture wars ... what do the American people care more about -- pronouns or prices?"
I’m at an art gallery show featuring college student artist/scientist teams creating new works about climate hope and I just saw an exhibit on decomposition of fallen trees as a fertile home for other organisms that says “There Is No Death In This Ancient Forest” and it hit so hard I had to sit down
Bird deaths linked to fish lost in algal bloom, SA Research and Development Institute says

hey look !
Labor has wasted $53 billion on tax concessions for wealthy property investors since 2022. A further $190 billion will be wasted if Labor fails to wind back the capital gains tax discount & negative gearing. This foregone revenue should have built public & affordable housing.

In the present context, however, of an investigation into allegations of corrupt conduct, we are not so much concerned with Diceyan theory of ministerial accountability and Cabinet solidarity as with personal obligations of honesty and good faith. Thus, although Mr Morrison may have been responsible to Cabinet for the failings of DSS – in particular for DSS’ failings in not preventing the shortcomings of the NPP and checklist – it by no means necessarily follows that Mr Morrison was personally at fault for not detecting the failings of DSS or that he set out to act dishonestly or in bad faith. The question of any personal shortcoming requires consideration of the system and circumstances of ERC’s operation at the time of its adoption of the NPP.
The passages clearing Morrison of fault are extraordinary
NACC says Morrison is technically "responsible" as cabinet Minister, but not "personally at fault"
If responsibility exists without consequence...then what does "ministerial accountability" even mean anymore?
Robodebt was the great test of Australia’s accountability mechanisms – and they failed
Stoner as heck.
#OtD 12 Mar 1912 the Bread and Roses strike won all their demands. The strike was organized by mostly women workers and the Industrial Workers of the World and included 20,000 workers. More on the strike: workingclasshistory.com/2018/12/02/e...

Amsterdam kitchens are tiny, partly because most Dutch food is made on the floor, using an axe, a cudgel and a spade, which is used to scoop the meal into the pan. The work surfaces are just big enough for two drinks, a bowl of peanuts and the New Testament.
