Just trying to make sense of it all

@tanya_plibersek Your spin doctors in action.

This is painful. At 8am yesterday morning, prices hit the max in SA for a solid half-hour. $20,300/MWh.

Flooded with excess wind for days. Then nothing. For days.

Let's check around and see how the 'always windy somewhere' thing plays out. 1/

@AlboMP @Keir_Starmer Are you serious? It’s fucked over there.

@OMGTheMess @Batman2242 Never met a Labor pollie who didn’t enjoy all the trappings of the capitalist system. They love it.

@RealMarkLatham @paul1964Jam @JamieMagill5 Whilst I did get to see him in action. My grandfather always said that Wally Grout was as good as there has ever been. Knott was an incredible keeper alright.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman:

“We are not governed by the people—that’s a myth that carries over from Abraham Lincoln’s day. We don’t have government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

“We have government of the people, by the bureaucrats, for the bureaucrats.”

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Wow

[Electroverse @Electroversenet]

A new study of US temperatures from 1899 to 2025 uses 40 million daily records across 1,211 stations and it finds extremes have declined.

The most intense heat remains in the 1930s.

In 1936, about 22% of stations recorded all-time highs, no modern year comes close. Heat waves peak between 1930 and 1944, then drop and only partly recover.

The long-term trend is flat to declining.

Cold extremes also decline, but mostly at night. This is largely a product of urbanization over the decades which traps heat and so lifts overnight lows.

Still, overall the extreme temperature burden is down about 30%. US temperatures are less extreme today, not more.

@RealMarkLatham @dizdarm Love to see the agenda.

@OMGTheMess It’s unbelievable! In fact a disgrace!

“Transgender ideology is not a grassroots movement bubbling up from the people. It is a top-down ideology imposed despite widespread public resistance...”

Landmines in @JEChalmers Budget 💣
@parnellpalme McGuinness exposes the rushed CGT changes that will hammer share investors: gains taxed hard, losses barely offset. Share portfolios crushed, aspiration attacked, economic vandalism confirmed.
@DerekFranc90653 called it on day one. Treasury modelling is a disgrace. This insane tax on aspiration must be stopped.
