Seems pretty obvious. Too bad the major parties are determined to satisfy their campaign contributors and future 'jobs for the boys'.

"The end point of a yarn is a set of understandings values and directions shared by all members of the group in a loose consensus that is inclusive of diverse points of view." p.132

Cover of the book named in the post. Overlayed by part of a page with page numbers and scribbled text.

Just finished reading Tyson Yunkaporta's magnificent Sand Talk. I didn't take notes about every page, but I took notes from lots of the pages.

Here's one people might appreciate /2

When we started building roads, we never expected Australians to need so many roads.

#SoAngry

What if governments said, we're getting rid of 21% of the roads?

We appreciate that they make it easier to get around and cheaper in replacement tyres and suspension, but they're just too expensive to maintain.

My heart breaks for these kids.

Everyone's required to show up for sports. When is everyone showing up for the cultural program? A whole day of choir, singing, drama for everyone. Celebrating best performers in each discipline. Parents muttering about participation awards for toneless kids.

You definitely read this right.

And thank you for warning us all of this latest development in AI: rapid-human-bot-conversion.

I picture them jumping about and high fiving in turtleneck jumpers and thick beards.

I guess for me it depends whether the two options are T or upside down T; or whether the two options are something else. If the former, I'm very comfortable with that approach.

The war we're 'all in' on?

That's a bit rough. I recall that there were also discussions about the font of the email address on their business cards.

Regular police just aren't fascist enough for the maga maggots.

I don't know why people are stressing. It's not like they're going to deliver the product. He just did it for the bump in the share price before the end of the quarters earnings or whatever the current jargon is.

Okay. I'll bite. Who do I have to kill to get one?

Passive voice in the headline might make me think Australia has not contributed to this erosion. 😶

"Someone check between the cushions on the couch in the downstairs waiting room. I'm pretty sure $20 million fell out of my pocket when I say there the other day."

Morning Ian, it's a beautiful day in the dry subtropics. ☀️

I didn't know about this before the election result. It's like we get icing on our antifa cake. 🎂

I figure it's just the boost that solar and EVs need, and all the other renewables. 🙂

You can't have someone else's immigration enforcement body operating in your country. That's extra-territorial bullshit.

Do you think that Michaelangelo went with other chapels? I am working on a Sistine Chapel (for me) journal article at the moment, and am wondering if I could just do this one (more than one ofc) little other chapel, cos it keeps creeping into my consciousness. Or would I be being a 'bad person'?

I appreciate all of what's been written here, but want to suggest that the closing the gap figures demonstrate that the current system doesn't just 'risk making things worse'. It's comprehensively continuing to make things worse.

I hesitantly suggest it is the billionaires and the boomers who got us here, not the hoons. No matter how much the MSM wants to vilify them.

Job done. Sometimes it's the little things you can do, not the big ones you are worrying about.

Don't you be kink-shaming that couch. That couch might get its joy in all sorts of ways that aren't in line with your values.

I love that they love this for you!

Nah, then the burden will fall disproportionately on the hoons who wear out their tyres faster. I'm thinking you got to go with something that's a bit more 'all in'. Steering wheels?

I find myself doing it every night. Even looking forward to it during the day. I'm obviously not in my 20s any more.

He kept all those photos cos he knew one day everyone who called him 'friend' would one day deny knowing him. What a pitiful person, surrounded by temporary sycophants. Chickens coming home to roost.

#JusticeForTheVictims

Morning Ian and peeps. Just been through the plastics drawer(s). Every container has a lid. Now I just need to rewash them all as they hang in a mesh Alfa drawer with no cupboard doors. 😅
