If you wanna go crazy, try baking them in a warm oven for a while first to remove some of the water. … can also poach and freeze them but who has time for that?

And magic! When the world gets crazy, people get into magic.

Doesn’t look like a partnership Kev. Looks like you’re selling us out to a rotting empire.

Our public schools can't afford any more cuts.

Sign the open letter: greens.org.au/vic/campaign...

Tile with text reading "The Victorian Government secretly ripped $2.4 billion from public education by delaying their school funding commitments until 2031.

Some schools will lose out on over $6 million in funding over the next seven years."

Tile with text reading "Teachers have taken to the streets to protest these cuts, labelling the move as “disgraceful”"

Background image shows teachers in union colours, holding signs at a protest rally.

Tile with text reading "Victoria’s public schools are the lowest-funded in Australia, and our teachers the lowest paid.
Labor’s cuts also mean Victorian public schools miss out on hundreds of millions of dollars in Commonwealth funding that’s conditional on the state meeting it’s funding commitments."

Tile with text reading "Your school is powerful.
Sign the open letter & share it with your school community (link in bio)
Together we can force Labor to reverse their cuts & fully fund public education."

Like the punks they don’t see a future. Corruption goes unpunished. The wealth gap ever increases. Capitalism is at such levels even the concept of ownership has changed. The environment is collapsing and none of the people in power are doing anything about it. Ofcourse they are just hanging out.

Australians pay 4 times more in HECS repayments than the gas industry pays in Petroleum Resource Rent Tax!

Australia Institute analysis shows replacing the PRRT with a flat 25% tax on gas exports, as suggested by the ACTU, would raise over $17 billion a year.

Some inventions are so amazing, so ubiquitous we don’t even know who made them. Like hot chips.

Because people never change, enough, I now think the respective rulers could tell the Bronze Age collapse was imminent. Then they did nothing to avoid it because they thought it would disrupt economic systems too much.

Great. Thanks
