My professional opinions are 80% at odds with the consensus (and with the benefit of hindsight, turn out to be prescient), and 20% they're in alignment (and with the benefit of being able to spot the obvious, they also turn out to be correct). #ClimateChange #Energy

The video footage is horrific. He's a better man than me to forgive for what happened.

You don't hear much from Barnaby Joyce these days and that doesn't make me unhappy

I think one of the biggest myths about #ClimateChange is that it’s not due to humans. It feels like we’re pretty far to the right side already, and we don’t want to get to oops.

Day two of COVID isolation, even though I don't have to. This is the first time I've had this shit virus and I don't want anyone else to get it.

Unsolicited advice, if you have bought electronic equipment as a gift for a loved one: Carefully open the packaging today, update the firmware/OS on the device, and then put it back into the packaging. You'll thank me on Gift Day.

Still won't be going back to the #birdsite even if Space Karen leaves. Too late, he's done the damage and I have broken the habit. Though I did look at the poll result, so there is that, I guess.

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.

If you go to https://spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction

Space Karen Sucks

Free speech really should be free. To bypass the new censorship regime at twitter, use this URL shortener to link to Mastodon or other censored destinations. Considering recent policy decisions on twitter, please be aware that use of links generated from this site may constitute a violation of their policy.
