Air conditioning is unapologetically a good thing because it helps people not die. And one good thing about air conditioning is that it largely needs to run during the day when solar power is at its maximum: it can and should align with clean energy goals.

A new study attributes “developmental vulnerabilities” in Canadian kindergarteners to Covid era lockdowns, which seems odd as these kindergarteners are too young to have been in school during those lockdowns, though, alas, old enough to have had Covid multiple times.

Pauline Hanson says she's ready to be Australia's prime minister - but attended only 12% of the Senate Estimates hearings over the past decade, and since the election, she's turned up to vote less than 30% of the time. If that was any other job, she'd be sacked, not promoted. #auspol

"An official agreed...that the US wanted 'biometric data…social media history…details about your spouse, other people who you share your house with'." Billions for dodgy second-hand subs, or handing over our personal data; the Albanese govt must stop sucking up to the fascist Trump regime. #auspol

Having said that… it’s my professional duty to not spread disease at work, so what I like, or don’t like, is irrelevant.

I’ve been the ethnic minority, religious minority, female in a culture and time when studying and working was done by the super minority etc. I’ve been attacked and berated for all of the above… So minority mask wearing just slid into that management strategy.
