Won’t somebody save these hundreds of turtles condemned to death? | First Dog on the Moon There is a whole dam full of water right there but the turtles can’t have it

Letting one person's 'concerns' prevent a life-saving release of environmental water for wildlife, including turtles, is truly fucked up, and those responsible should all be ashamed.

Is he too pissed to make the journey home, one wonders … ??

The Qld Parliamentary Annex is for state MPs who live outside South-East Qld. Taxpayers have always supported lodgings for those MPs.

It's not for people like Tim Mander who's electorate is Everton across the fucking Brisbane River! #qldpol documents.parliament.qld.gov.au/com/GEFC-11E...

The Qld LNP just don't listen to us, do they? We said this was going to be a problem in 2025. #qldpol

Sorry to keep posting this stuff.

17yo arrested over gym car thefts. Why are Qld journalists so adverse to challenging Premier David Crisafulli on his youth crime legislation? He said it would deter youth crime. There seemed to be no qualms about asking premiers past. #qldpol

The answer is clearly “no” … just clickbait providers or gap fillers 😁

Oh, FFS. And... he we go again, Queensland. Welcome to 2024 in 2026.

Stafford by-election locked in for 16 May & what's Ch9 doing? Repeating Premier David Crisafulli's youth crime slogans & not asking him any substantial questions. Are you journalists or what? #qldpol

But, on balance, unless there is compelling evidence of significant human damage, greater than the number of humans killed in Gaza, I am inclined to propose that this a net gain in the advancement of human life.

I am interested to know which medical technology passes through the Strait of Hormuz ?
I appreciate that a number of countries rely on fertiliser. ✅

Religion in Australia - Wikipedia

Not sure that it is
A lot of people also say they’re Christian purely out of habit

As an atheist I object to other people’s religious icons being desecrated

Religious affiliation in Australia Exploration of the changes in reported religion in the 2021 Census

I agree destroying icons of any religion is wrong! Aus is no longer a majority X’tian country! X’tians make up 43.9% How, many of them ticked that because they were? Nones = 38.9% up from 30.1% 1916 & 23.1% 2011! This census if same % leap??? I agree with your stance! www.abs.gov.au/articles/rel...

An astronaut floats alone above Earth during a spacewalk, surrounded by the blackness of space, with the blue curve of the planet visible below.

This iconic 1984 photo is often called one of the most terrifying space images ever.

During STS-41-B on Space Shuttle Challenger, astronaut Bruce McCandless II became the first person to perform an untethered spacewalk.

BREAKING: Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian says every rational and diplomatic path should be used to reduce tensions with the US, while stressing that vigilance in interactions with Washington is an “undeniable necessity,” according to state-run IRNA news agency.

Facts matter: big batteries in Aust are LiFePO (lithium iron phosphate chemistry). No cobalt, no nickel.

Likewise EVs.

Bartlett's repeating his hit job on nickel industry last year, when he attacked EVs and renewables.

“Vaccines Cause Adults” 💉🚼

Let me tell you about my first experience driving an electric vehicle. I have driven cheap, second hand cars my whole life—I'm an A to B guy—including the one I crashed, an event I used to kick off a book I wrote about the debt industry.

This is a joke, right? I spent a good year doing EV stories with The Guardian. Nine in ten cars in Norway are EVs. It's 2026 and we're being treated to stories that read like it's 2019 in a fossil fuel crisis. There is no mention of climate change. The reporter is impatient. That's all we get.

BYD announces extra 30,000 EVs and hybrids for Australia to support essential workers Just a day after delivering it's 100,000th car in Australia, Chinese car giant BYD has announces plans to bring an extra 30,000 vehicles to Australia in coming months.

Big announcement by BYD.

30,000 EVs and hybrids prioritised for "essential workers who need cost-effective transport to get around.

These include doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, teachers, social workers, police, fire, ambulance and SES volunteers."

Fantastic initiative! 👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏🏿👏🏼

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, says there are no plans for a new round of talks with the US, adding that Washington is not learning its lessons from past experience and that this will not lead to good results.

#Australia, as a majority Christian country (is this still even true?) supports a state where their defence force behaves like this to Christian icons ... At what point will our Federal Government acknowledge that #Israel is no longer an acceptable alliance partner? #AusPol

Yay !!! Fantastic news! 🍾🥂

#Hydrogen was always over-hyped. It may happen in the next 10 years, but the cost analysis is still very negative. It needs more improvements in the creation & storage processes.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but "relocating" #Venice would make the costs of rebuilding #Iran look like a small outlay! #ClimateCrisis
