Nooze February 2025 I've heard a few people lately explain that they can't believe it's nearly March *already*! For me, I can't believe it's *only* February! This year already seems so full and busy. On top of gigs, renovating my kitchen, farewelling one of our cats, and general mumming and…

Criminalisation of cannabis possession & use has not worked in any Australian jurisdiction as it has not stopped people from accessing & using cannabis. A shift from a focus on law enforcement to a health-focused legal response to cannabis possession & use is warranted. #auspol #LegaliseIt #Cannabis

The Liberal Party of Australia has made an ad about its Nuclear Plan, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBqV...

Electricity giant AGL says its remaining coal-fired power plants cannot continue operating long enough for them to be replaced by nuclear reactors, without raising the risk of higher prices for consumers and more sudden outages. #climatecrisis #nuclear #auspol www.theage.com.au/business/com...

Trump dismisses USAid direct-hire workers around the world

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks. www.ft.com/content/a0df...

There's a very real possibility that Australia's next prime minister is Peter Dutton. :( youtu.be/bdw1Pw4nIv0?...

All eyes on the bin fire of fascism in the US, but don't forget England's a bit messed up too... open.spotify.com/track/2aiZTa...

The Coalition and others are already ‘flooding the zone with shit’ ahead of the election. Misinformation, disinformation, horseshit of many varieties. Thankfully @itsnotarace2025.bsky.social is here to take the piss out of all the pro-coal, pro-billionaire BS. Chip in & help out today. #auspol

Unless people (often but #notall men) won't address their demons, then cycles of abuse will continue to shatter generations 💔 youtu.be/O-1r2A-r2x8?...

Under Meta's relaxed hate speech rules, users can now post "I'm a proud racist" or "Black people are more violent than whites."

November 2024 Nooze Putting the silly in the silly season! Hello! How are you my lovelies? Welcome to my November Nooze. The sun has been shining here in Melbourne and we've had some rain. My garden is like a jungle (not a euphemism!). Since I… http://lucybest.com/2024/11/29/november-2024-nooze/

Fuck.

(hypothetical) Me to my kid: I thought I raised you better than that. You know what that stuff does to you? It's highly addictive and addiction is the root of many problems. It rots your insides. It's full of salt... Kid: mum. It's just kfc

The incredible human, who I managed to grow and keep alive for all these year, has a gig tonight at the Gaso - hope to see you there! tickets.oztix.com.au/outlet/event...

"...to be funny for a group, you have to be emotionally sensitive, you have to be able to read the room... And people who are emotionally sensitive are just more vulnerable to mental health issues" a good explainer as to comedy attracts people with MH issues... au.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

I don't get to vote (not a Citizen). If I did I would vote yes. If you're still uncertain I highly recommend this microcredential, that explains the historical context, what constitutional change and a referendum mean, and presents both cases. teche.mq.edu.au/2023/06/the-...

My first born legend has a gig next week! Come. tickets.oztix.com.au/outlet/event...
