Turnbull’s submarine plan, with France, planned to have submarines constructed by 2030, fully crewed and operational by 2034.

Cost, $50 billion, over 50 years.

This plan did not include storing US nuclear waste, hosting US bases and crew, selling out foreign policy to the US.

"On 12 June 1817, a crowd gathered along the best road in Mannheim, Germany to watch Baron Karl von Drais demonstrate his newest invention: the 'draisienne', a two-wheeled horseless vehicle propelled by its rider."

Love this World Cup themed post box topper, featuring that goal by Scott McTominay, at Broomhill Cross on the west of Glasgow. C'mon Scotland!

🤯 This is why adopting JPEG-XL for image assets is a huge deal. Delta Duo is about to be updated (switching from PNG to JXL,) and the image assets are going to take up 81.42% less storage space... without any visual quality loss. Just imagine if JXL were more widely adopted!

New work.
I rescued some upholstery samples from the landfill, and have used them to cover some old boards and start fresh, effectively creating a new canvas. I’m very happy with how this experiment turned out. This is a William Morris print. I took a whole bunch of the samples, so expect to see more art like this. It works so perfectly with my style.
