Remember that guy who zoomed in to a court hearing about a suspended license, while parking his car?

It was a clerical error. His license wasn't actually suspended.

None of the publications listed here (NYT, WP, NYP, USA Today, BBC, CNN, Fox, MSNBC) have issued corrections or updates.

15 years ago, the Greens started warning that we needed to start preparing and planning the transition from coal to renewable energy.

The Libs responding by gaslighting and saying things like “You can’t shut down coal energy overnight!”, something the Greens were in no way shape or form asking for.

The media simply quoted the Libs. Their excuse? “We WeRe JuSt TeLlInG yOu WhAt ThEy SaId!”. Never quoted what the Greens actually wanted, or actually analyzed the situation, just QuOtEd WhAt ThEy SaId! The Liberals and those talking complete and utter horse shit. While burying their heads in the sand about energy transition.

Now, we’re in a situation where coal plants are shutting down ahead of the 15 years ago schedule, renewable sources have been delayed massively, and many don’t have power lines heading to them nor are connected to the grid properly. We are in the EXACT problem situation the Greens were warning about 15 years ago.

The media won’t take responsibility for their one-sided citing and TeLlInG yOu WhAt ThEy SaId. They’ll just write articles pretending that never happened, glossing over their part in it.

We’re in for hard times. All caused by the Liberal governments of the last 15 years. And Labor especially now aren’t exactly any better. And caused by the media failing to do their actual jobs.

It’s Red Shield Appeal time again.

Remember - friends don’t let friends donate to the Salvos. They claim to be equal opportunity helpful while protecting homophobic and transphobic staff who cut off gay & trans people out of bigotry.

There are other charities out there. It’s not like the Salvos are the be all and end all. Donate elsewhere.

This is absolutely not going to start a new war between advertisers and ad blockers. No sir. Not at all. They're not going to petition and harrass MS in to submission and giving them access to data from it. Not now, not ever. Absolutely. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/microsofts-new-recall-feature-will-record-everything-you-do-on-your-pc/

Received spam from MS overnight. I can’t remember the last time I received spam from MS

Pushing copilot.

Thought their last assistant was meant to be the be-all and end-all of assistants to end all assistants (that I also never used). You know, the one named after the halo character. Whatsherface.

Windows just tried to turn off outlook notifications because I haven't interacted with them for a while.

MOST OF THE TIME THE POINT OF THE NOTIFICATION IS THE NOTIFICATION ITSELF!!!

What is with OS makers? iOS prompts me about this too. Stop being so needy. Not everything needs interaction.

The Liberals will have a field day with this when it happens, despite the fact it's purely their fault for burying their heads in the sand about transitioning from coal to renewables.

Doubled down on coal so the transition didn't have any prepatory work done and problems got kicked down the road to Labor. Who aren't much better. Just as in the pocket of coal & gas. #AusPol

I watch a lot of dashcam vids (mostly DCOA). A not insignificant number of crashes are caused by someone "being courteous" as opposed to following the right-of-way laws.

Follow right-of-way. Be courteous ONLY within right-of-way rules or when there's grey zones about who has right-of-way. Never be courteous in ways that go against right-of-way rules. https://xkcd.com/2932/

Because selfish employees won’t work double the hours for the love of the company and no extra pay, and insist on premium perks like being paid at least minimum wage and super. The hide of them. How dare. People don’t want to work anymore. Quiet quitters, the lot of them.

So Russia’s invasion of Ukraine resulted in numerous countries suddenly entering the UN which is the opposite of what they wanted.

Now Israel’s genocide of Palestinian people has resulted in Palestine being given UN membership. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/may/10/australia-un-vote-palestine-status-support-israel-war-gaza
