Hi everyone, after the success of the City To Casino stroll, I was kicking around the idea of running the Point To Pinnacle because I needed a goal to keep me feeling ok. Unfortunately, my glioblastoma kicked off in a new spot and made that unfeasible. However, while my running days are over
Say hello to Jim.
THREAD.

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.

We decided to call him Jim.

This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

Just once it would be a comfort if an ALP member actually lived up to their sacred principles rather than squibbing them at the first opportunity. Otherwise they should wind up the whole thing and stop taking up space.
So ... a dangerous abuser accuses his partner or ex-partner of a violent crime (this is common) & get the cops to charge her, usual delays until it's dropped/heard and now the govt will cut off the accused's entitlements, making her - & her children - wholly dependent on her abuser? Get out of it.
New: 100+ legal experts, welfare groups & academics demand the Minister bin an amendment, allowing police to cancel welfare payments for people who have not been found guilty of any crime

@tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social is trying to ram this amendment through today

1/2 “Corruption follows cruelty and it breeds in secrecy, and that’s the Nauru deal and offshore detention all over.”

Thank you @davidshoebridge.bsky.social for pursuing.

The Austrac report was clear, so why did the government proceed with this dodgy deal?
Perhaps corruption was a feature? #auspol

This will play during the end credits of the ALP, but the bag will be a very tattered version of the bingo teatowel.

Another day of the Anthony Albanese Disappointment Advent Calendar
The Albanese government has signed up to a commitment to phase out fossil fuels…and to achieve that goal….it says we need more fossil fuels…FFS

Climate denial is not confined to the hard right of Australian politics

#1 - deviation from the worst scenarios

If fossil fuel use had grown at the rate it did in the 2000s, global CO2 emissions would be ~5-10 ish gigatonnes (a few percent) higher than they are today

They did not - and they deviated pre-pandemic, too.
Always my fav chart from the GCB, and here's the 2025 update.

It lays out what we've avoided, what we've failed to avoid, and what's at stake if we let the future slip

We are not on a good trajectory, and slipping back into a worse trajectory is always possible. But: we know it bleeds
