Australia: let’s roll out so much rooftop solar you can have free power during the day NZ: businesses are closing down because they can’t afford power so we’re building a one billion dollar fossil fuel terminal so we can keep not having free power

Govt to pay up to $180m/year or $2.7b over 15 years to lease LNG re-gasification plant, paid for by $15-$30 'levy' per household per year. That $2.7b would build four Benmore Dams worth of electricity

When I went to the Hamilton gardens last month I bought a couple of postcards at the gift shop and I sent one to my bff in London and one my my mum in America. They both were so happy to get them! Send postcards to your people. People love it! It’s a cute surprise and the world needs more of this.

Im my ALL IN THE FAMILY rewatch, and it’s nuts how much this show remains relevant. Archie Bunker operates on fear. It’s his default setting. Fear that he’s not important, that he won’t get what he wants, that other people are having a better life than him. Carroll O’Connor was a brilliant actor.
