Really wild stats here. What the hell are we killing people for? What's the societal or even individual benefit of cars with deadlier designs like this? No one asked for this shit, companies just did it and then induced demand for it Wonder why Norway has seen declining bonnet heights?

We learnt a lot about Scott Morrison after he was dismissed by Australian voters in May 2022. We continue to learn more, none of it good. And now, the worst insult to all Australians, Morrison is a King’s Birthday recipient of a Companion of the Order of Australia. Thread .. 🧵 #auspol

"Australians are known for being wonderful at sport, but there's this inconvenient truth that we're terrible at conservation and protecting culture. It’s shameful," Ritchie said. Yes, I'm grumpy! Great story au.news.yahoo.com/inconvenient... by @michaeldahlstrom.bsky.social.
