"Spring in southern Australia is a season where 40C temperatures one day can be followed by cold rain and hail the next ... this weekend will serve up another smorgasbord of atmospheric variability." Climate change makes this natural volatility more likely to be extreme. #COP30 #ClimateHeat 💔 🌏 🌱

Morning thunderstorms over Lake Macquarie this morning. 34 degrees Celsius today before afternoon storms and a 15 degree Celsius drop in temperature. #CrazyClimate 🇦🇺 🐨 ☀️ ⛈️

In a perfect world we'd all work quickly together to #StopFossilFuel & we'd also work quickly together to #StopTheFelonPresident.

SunCable, backed by Mike Cannon-Brookes, working with First Nations, to build Australia's largest solar farm on Muckaty Station. In 2014 Conservative #LNP wanted Muckaty to be a nuclear waste dump. First Nations said no. #NoNuclearAU #RenewableEnergy 🖤 💛 ❤️ 🇦🇺 🐨 ☀️ 🌏 🌱

Why'd NYC elect Mamdani? IMHO because humanity's strength, perhaps its only true strength, is belief in hope. Come on ABC, stop the BS, not all democratic socialists want to end capitalism.

4kg of atumn onions harvested, plus 2 carrots, or maybe 3? It looked like two in the ground! Making room for summer. Asparagus slowing down. Green beans, corn, tomatoes, capsicum, squash, chilli, okra, cucumber, passionfruit, & sweet potato are all doing well. Also working on a few new paths. 🇦🇺🐨🧅🥕🌱

Newcastle NSW is the world's largest coal port. Coal is mostly flogged by international corporates who can not afford to pay enough tax, royalties or damages for what they do. Coal is not sustainable, damages the planet & every human. #GoRisingTide #SueFossilFuel #CleanTourism #ClimateAction 🇦🇺 🐨 ♻️ 🌱

Honestly! ABC interviewing over privileged and/or desperate/stupid gamblers at the #MelbourneCup, who complained about interest rates being maintained, deserve all they get IMHO. FWIW, save don’t gamble. #NupToTheCup 💔🐴 🇦🇺

Australian households will get 3 hours of free electricity each day under Labor's Solar Sharer scheme, starting in 2026. The plan aims to share the benefits of AU's rooftop solar network with all Australians. Good move. 🇦🇺 🐨 ☀️ 🌱 ♻️

Extremist Nationals are a cluster**** on all of AU. Pushed a drunk, adulter into acting PM. A corrupt sports rort deputy. Leader who said no to gay marriage & First Nation's voice. No to timely climate action. #CorruptLNP #CorruptCoalition #CorruptWealthyMinority #AustraliaDoBetter #AusPol 🖤💛❤️🇦🇺🐨🌱

This is good news. Still, when a few koalas is major news, this highlights the extinction threat facing one of Australia's most unique & beautiful critters. @albomp.bsky.social please bridge the gap with the Greens. Give AU's environment & wildlife the protection that it deserves. #AusPol 🇦🇺 🐨 ⚖️

Tennis ball sized hail is raining down 2 hours west of Brisbane QLD. Smashing roofs. Breaking windows. 🇦🇺 ⛈️

Economists are blinded by calls for endless growth. They play in bureaucratic sandpits with soulless profiteers. The result?Unemployment & poverty are used to drive business profit. If AI ends up being a mostly dumb, super fast rehash of history, then the future's here now & sadly locked in. 🌏 🌱 ⚖️

Good morning! Today in LakeMac is as good as it gets. It's the weekend & not hot. 8 weeks in season & there's still asparagus. Best of all, the Mustang jam night bass was traded up to a funky pink Jazz. Low action, intonation spot on. Jam & wine tonight. 🇦🇺 🐨🍷🎸

A little backyard spring garden update ftom Lake Macquarie NSW. Sweet yellow chilli seedlings planted out this morning. Corn and carrots going well. Avocado setting fruit. Beans flowering. Plus working on new garden paths in-between recording songs for 2026. #GardenSky #MusicSky 🫑 🌽 🥕 🥑 🌱 🇦🇺 🐨 🎸

AU is the world's 2nd wealthiest country after Luxembourg. Median wealth per adult is US$268,000 (AU$413,000). During COVID social security was doubled, costing AU$20 billion p/year. Poverty was eliminated. Now that's stopped NSW poverty alone costs AU$60 billion p/year. 🇦🇺 ⚖️ #EndPoverty #Fairness

US inflation, unemployment, & tech laden market all up. Last 12 months sees beef +14%, coffee +19%, petrol +4.1%, rent/housing +3.5/3.8%, + all services up + talk of a rate cut? What gives rich people & corporates? Just a lil' extra insanity? #InflationUpUSA #UnemploymentUpUSA #WeirdnessUpUSA 🇺🇸 🤑 ⚖️

A tornado in the Melbourne is rare. Last Sunday rare met with reality across Melbourne's western suburbs. 🇦🇺 ⛈️ 🌪️

The first spring 2025 zucchini & a little asparagus from the backyard garden. Steamed, sautéed, or spaghetti noodles? Time will tell. 🇦🇺☀️🌱

"Australia's weather this spring has gone way off script." September's Sudden Stratospheric Warming above Antarctica sent temperatures soaring by 30℃, leading to record October heat. Just weeks later La Niña rain is back. There's no clear summer signal, but it'll be one of the hottest on record. 🇦🇺☀️🌦️

We have been saving for some time now, and thanks to the @albomp.bsky.social AU Federal Gov rebate, our house just added 10.5kW (52kWh p/day) of solar & a 32kWh battery. Today was awesome. #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #StopFossilFuel 🇦🇺 🐨 ☀️⚡🌏 🌱

The nazi saluting, chainsaw wielding, US immigrant, thinks it's a "killer" move to put cars without steering wheels or foot pedals on roads. This from the goose who's cars kill more people than any other car brand. Get in a #Swasticar and get a "gentle ride" to your death. 🇺🇸 ⚖️

Serious #culturally based #political denial emergency. Not sure of the solution but definitely not #business and #politics as usual!!!!’ #ClimateActionNow #auspol

It's hot & it's not direct sun as such. The air's hot, wind's hot, ground's hot. Epic bushfire risk. What will AU's Labor government do? Well, more new #FossilFuel it seems. No climate trigger & a soft profit threat lol. Really? #ShutFossilFuelDown @albomp.bsky.social #MakeFossilFuelPay 🇦🇺 ☀️ 🔥 🌏 🌱

Working on over dubbing guitar solos for new 2026 tracks. Just updated to UAD Luna 2.0. Nice update that adds harware inserts and ARA. A quick restring for the strat. Then it's time to hit record. 🇦🇺 🎸

Zucchini, green beans, & tomatoes flowering a few weeks into AU's spring. 38-39 degrees Celsius today, crazy hot for October. We'll be hand pollinating again this year as there are no honey bees due to Verroa Mite. There's some native bees, & we try to get them to set up shop in our yard. 🇦🇺 ☀️ 🐝 🌱

Is AU hotter than ever? Yep. Is it spring or summer? Who knows. Is Earth's climate screwed? Yep. NSW & QLD 43-45°C aka 209-113°F in spring. Sydney, Newcastle & across AU all time heat records are breaking. Sydney temps 5°C above average. Extreme weather. Cyclonic winds. Bushfire alert. 🇦🇺 ☀️ 🌀 🔥 🌏 🌱

Autumn onions for the freezer & sweet potato to plant out. Saved sugar snap pea & yellow snow pea seed for next year. Plus, spring corn, carrots, tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, pumpkin, onions, & cucumber growing in the backyard. 🇦🇺🧅🎃🍆🌽🥕🥒🍅

The AU ambassador to the USA, Kevin Rudd, was Australia's 26th Prime Minister. He is not a racist, a warmonger, nor an authoritarian. Rudd is not perfect, but he's also not a weirdo criminal. Of course, the #AdjudicatedSexualAbuser #PeaDoughPresident #TACO said "I don't like you". 🇦🇺 🐨 🇺🇸 ⚖️

Good morning, AU and Bluesky. Today will be hot in Lake Macqurie. Forecast 35°C. Just got back in from watering the garden before it gets too hot. Plus, harvesting a few carrots and more asparagus. 🦋 🇦🇺 ☀️ 🥕

Many, many thanks for all the kind thoughts from across the BlueSky community for our border collie Sammy. She would have been 15 in two weeks time. But alas she had to leave us. It was so quick & unexpected. Here's our girl fishing for second breakfast just a 3 weeks ago. 🇦🇺 💔 🐾

Our spring veggie garden is getting going. We've got around 60-70sqm of raised boxes. Plenty of space for our veggies, and for family when they call through. Here's some more beetroot that grew for 12-16 weeks, & some spring asparagus. The dessert spoon was added for scale. Some spears are big! 🇦🇺

Yesterday was tough for us here in LakeMac. Nothing will ever be the same without Sammy. 💔 🐾 #ReverendGenesAndSammy

Why would Turkey back down from trying to host #COP31 over Australia? Neither are serious about climate action. In fact, no G20 country is meeting their targets. Indeed, no country at all it seems. Just let #COP31 fall back to Bonn Germany & save on air fares & a few emissions. Just sad. 🇦🇺 🇹🇷 🇩🇪 🌏 🌱 ⚖️
