#AndrewConstance #ShoalhavenCouncil
In his first interview as CEO of our council Constance made it pretty clear he has no idea what the job is IMHO. He talked about capital not community, business and development but not ratepayers residents or their issues. He is a politician not an administrator.

Scale.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Single frame. Scale. On one side of scale, weighing heavily, a small gold weight marked “OCT 7 2023”. On the other side, much lighter, a huge bag (of sand?) marked “EVERY DAY SINCE.”

I now allocate a tutorial to critical ai literacy, in the weeks before a major essay is due. Most students know the slop is slop, and quickly learn it is planet-boiling slop. If unis can not educate students about ai what the fuck is the point is my view.

Snowy 2.0 cost blowouts might be OK if the scheme stored power more cheaply than batteries. But it won’t

As the cost of Snowy 2.0 rises yet again, defenders claim the scheme can store energy cheaper than batteries. But this doesn’t stack up.

Looked out the window this morning to see 3 of these huge beautiful braniacs had discivered the new bird feeders (rainbow lorikeets recently joined the pale-headed Rosella's to enjoy the seed).
Unfortunately both feeders are a little small for these giants.

I hope that’s not the case

"campfire lit during a total fire ban sparked a large bushfire on Moreton Island"
