Many people are desperately afraid of “forever masking.”

I'm afraid of #COVID19 remaining a top five cause of death indefinitely.

I'm scared COVID will leave billions with lasting damage to their heart, brains, and immune systems.

I'm frightened that children infected three, four or nine times will have lifelong health issues.

I'm worried that a rapidly mutating virus could yet spin off a deadly new variant.

Why is it so hard to do something so simple to possibly save a life? #WearAMask

In Poland, waxwing birds love to eat fermented fruit, get drunk and then lie insensible on the pavement.
People collect them and put them in a safe place until they sober up... #OurBeautifulWorld

Deer Park Station level crossing removal to be completed a year ahead of schedule, although I'm sure these schedules are made to include an early opening.

Level Crossing Removals Ramp Back Up For 2023 | Premier of Victoria

The Andrews Labor Government is getting on with removing level crossings right across Melbourne – with 110 dangerous and congested crossings to be gone for good by 2030, including 70 by the first half of this year. Premier Daniel Andrews and Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Jacinta Allan today visited the Mt Derrimut Road level crossing removal in Deer Park, which will be gone for good a year ahead of schedule this July, to meet crews working around the clock.

How MAGA and the oligarchy feed off each other:

1. The oligarchy's objective is to hoard wealth

2. It uses MAGA to keep us divided over culture wars

3. Oligarchy siphons off more wealth while we're distracted

4. MAGA uses the oligarchy's money for campaigns

Rinse, repeat.

Excellent work @[email protected]. This is leadership. #auspol

Victoria's premier, Daniel Andrews, says there will not be a state funeral service for George Pell out of respect for victims of institutional child sexual abuse: "I couldn't think of anything that would be more distressing for victim-survivors than that."

Dad bought a fridge from The Good Guys years ago and has been getting text messages from them ever since. I offered to opt him out, but he said no because he may need to buy something from them again in future.
The Trump coalition of MAGAs and Oligarchs lives on, as dangerous as ever

It's the force that made McCarthy Speaker

It’s clear from his remarks linking Pell’s prosecution to executive government that the LOTO has the same firm grasp on the principle of the separation of powers as another Queensland right-winger, Joh Bjelke-Petersen, and no doubt the same respect for rule of law and separation of church and state. What a toxic irrelevance that piece of left-over culture war is.

Guide Dogs Victoria board warned of “politicisation” … a decade ago - The Klaxon

Guide Dogs Victoria’s board – which claims to have been unaware of political spruiking by its ousted CEO Karen Hayes – was alerted to serious concerns of similar activity almost decade ago.
