The good news is that the plan will never actually happen. The fossil fuel sector is dying, and what we are witnessing is the screams of panic of those investors holding onto billions of dollars of soon-to-be stranded coal mines, power plants and other fossil fuel assets.

This is what a real collapse looks like

Putin just lost Syria and Trump hates losers and he hates being associated with losers.

Anyone at a loose end tonight in Brisbane, go check out the legend that is Bob Mould

#punksky #indiesky #huskerpower #bobmould

Bob Mould @bobmouldmusic.bsky.social · Dec 1

The final Virgin Australia lounge of the tour, Sydney. The final show of the year, tonight at the Triffid in Brisbane.

Simon James @sctjames.bsky.social · Dec 1

Hope Brisbane Rocks tonight. Saw you back in 2013 at The Zoo. Sadly can’t make it tonight but I have my memories. Any chance you can post a copy of the setlist sometime after the show?

Bob Mould live on stage in Brisbane 2013
