At risk of being rude, have others noticed the extreme irony of the National Party (self declared ‘friend of farmers’) breaking up the coalition because they oppose Net Zero while Australia languishes under extreme floods in NSW and extreme drought everywhere else? No? Just me, then?

No idea why media still depicts Nats as a farmers party. They are a mining party beholden to coal and gas interests and funded by Gina Rinehart. When there is a conflict between farmers and fossil fuels, they always back fossil fuels. Their opposition to wind is to protect fossil fuels for longer.

This guy sitting in the row in front of me won't leave me alone. Still 14/10

Minestrone! 😋

From the dog park. Sunset helped a bit by fuel reduction burns. 🔥

I found this to be soothing and perfectly lovely. In case you need it rn…

this is the first time i’ve seen the doodle dig a hole and i have no idea what she was digging for but she was having the best time

-4 degrees C overnight so now I have a small (35kg) clump of dog! 🤷‍♂️ In yoga I guess this would be "soccer ball pose"? ⚽

This guy 🥰

Having a conversation with a colleague today... if a "leg" is a unit of distance (the last leg of a journey) and a "stint" is a unit of time (did a stint in the army), could we have a unit of speed, "legs per stint"? And if so, how fast would it be? 😅 #MathsToday

I was having dinner with a world chess champion and there was a check tablecloth. It took them two hours to pass the salt.

I think I don't appreciate it enough that a thing I just designed is being 3D-printed right now next to me and I will have it in my hand in a few hours. It's kinda wild!

Baby roboticists grow up to be brilliant problem-solving adults! (Disclaimer: mother of an adult who was a roboticist at school.)

forgot to post about this last week but we celebrated maple’s 5th birthday!! little rescue doodle’s first birthday out of the puppy mill and we celebrated with lots of good food, fun walks and love 💕

The world needs more of this and less of most other things

Pet peeve: People complaining about the way I maintain my open source projects under MIT license (particularly my decision to use stale bot, since I don't like seeing literal thousands of open issues across my repos). Just fork it! No skin off my back. www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2022/ju...

FNQ for the win

my cables will not be "managed" I love all cables equally. each is empowered to roam freely in pursuit of self-directed goals, articulating a personality of its own. that's not a tangle, it's a statement. cable management is a tool of the oppressor.

Tariffs just got real: our first $36K bill with 125% + 20% + 25% markup hits hard 💸. These are upfront costs - due before selling a single unit - causing serious cash flow strain, price increases, read more! 📦 adafruit.com/tariffbill #tariffs

A tribute to relaxed late night online shopping. 😬 youtu.be/cJcUph-aAs0

Some assembly required

Just after the 2022 election I said (I think it was on Insiders) if the Liberal party didn’t read the room on climate, women etc - then it was consigning itself to irrelevancy. I was pretty roundly criticised at the time. But I do know what I’m talking about and I can pick a vibe

Peter Dutton: I don’t want to stand in front of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags at political press conference anymore. Dickson voters: okay.

Maybe lurch further to the right LNP cos that's clearly what this country needs. #auspol #wipeout #notUSA

THIS. SO MUCH THIS

Thank you to Trump for lending Dutton your expert election strategist. Power move. 🙏👍 #auspol

I think a lot of Liberals will be working from home

James McGrath, the first step to fixing a problem is accepting you have a problem.

Me 2007, the moment Howard lost Bennelong. I hope Dutton loses Dickson. I really do. (Also, look that that hair cut, I might bring it back).

ABC news, Peter Dutton's main cheerleader, slightly behind in the actual news. #auspol #awkward

The "Dirty Lefties" are having a great weekend. Thanks Peter! #auspol
