Just a commitment to spend money thinking about it. Election year vibes from a very stale and cynical state government. #auspol #springst https://www.premier.vic.gov.au/melton-electrification-way04 May 2026 00:33 +0000at://did:plc:h2pkync5nk3uwsumirpr7ay5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkygdkejn352https://bsky.app/profile/simpleprogrammer.social.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gy/post/3mico2fdeed22There has been no smoking on commercial flights for decades now. It's time to replace the permanently lit "no smoking" 🚭 sign with a "no loudspeakers" 🔇 sign. No headphones? No audio. #MakePlanesQuietAgain #travel #airlines30 Mar 2026 22:02 +0000at://did:plc:h2pkync5nk3uwsumirpr7ay5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mico2fdeed22https://bsky.app/profile/simpleprogrammer.social.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gy/post/3mhpdrlqas7e2I've been betting we will start geoengineering the atmosphere in my lifetime.

I can't say I agree with their decision.

Adam Bandt has me to thank for both his success and failure. He won Melbourne for the first time, the first time I voted in the electorate. And he hung on until I moved out of the electorate. Coincidence? Unlikely. #auspol #auspol202508 May 2025 23:11 +0000at://did:plc:h2pkync5nk3uwsumirpr7ay5/app.bsky.feed.post/3loozx327pxt2https://bsky.app/profile/simpleprogrammer.social.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gy/post/3llq4g2eywbk2I reckon the same could likely be said for a number of multi-billion dollar decisions made by the Andrews & Allen governments.
