This really made me sad to hear yesterday. The Corellas have been here since the fires. I think there's only one flock, and if so, we'll likely never hear their insane cackling flowing over the city in the evening.
If this was intentional, there is a special kind of hell for someone like this.
God the Newcastle Herald are a bunch of gronks. This racist dogwhistling crap just one week after they had to issue an apology for running another Palmer ad on their front page that was spewing anti-trans hate.
I'd suggest sending them some feedback on [email protected]
Good to see Newcastle is staying up to date with global trends in rightwing nutbar activity.
Just realised that the war memorial is off axis by half a foot to the west. FFS Newcastle.
Holy fuck Gosford sucks
Just walked in to the dodgiest bottle shop I've ever seen, right in the middle of the CBD. 3 fridges of beer, and 12 of Woodstock/cider/Bundy
What possessed their urban planners? They're like here's a nice walkable urban centre on a lake. Maybe we should put a fucking 4 lane highway across the front of it, with no pedestrian access
Bet the lobster playing the piano is a big draw card
A second #sinkhole has opened in a #Newcastle suburb just three days after the first forced residents out of their homes #australia
Time to fuck this shit off. #Newcastle does not need another 5 years of dickheads in planet fucking noise makers destroying the city for everyone else for 3 months of summer. Go have your input now:

There's a few things Automattic does differently than Big Social:
1. They open source their flag ship product
2. They allow easy self-hosting
3. They allow easy customizations
4. Their core monetization isn't based on ads
5. They don't build abusive algorithmic feeds to maximize engagement
For the most part, Automattic is a good citizen.
