  • How about the Uplift series by David Brin? Start with Sundiver

  • Vinge is probably my favourite SiFi author. Incredibly well paced and populated stories

  • Every time they have a peek at a department the cockroaches scatter and there is a nest of filth found. 21 of the last 26 years of having the LNP in power has corrupted our public service. Infuriating

  • Thanks for the insights guys (sadly lacking in the original article)

  • "Paterson – a former fellow of the fossil fuel funded lobby group, the Institute of Public Affairs". That's all you really need to know, the IPA are a traitorous bunch of trolls.

  • Deserves some sort of celebration, if only we could work out what to do.. 🤣💨

  • The pertinent lesson to be learned here is that democracy (especially non compulsory voting democracy) is about engagement. It's not just about political conversation (although that's important too) but getting out and doing something. Don't just assume someone will do the hard yards for you. Register and go out and get others to register. If necessary join a political organisation that reflects your politics or start one. Be involved in local politics. In short: get off your arse and do something.

  • I think it's time to dox these right wing nutjub cookers. If they think it's okay to remove our society's provisions for free speech and helpful information we should be allowed to rock up to their homes, places of work etc and lambast them.

  • Fuck Pootin, grubby bastard is prepared to starve Africa for the sake of his pathetic excuse of a war.

  • The ability to turn most traffic lights green (not all of them just, like 90%), would basically be the reverse of my current super power of turning most traffic lights red

  • The only app that seems to work for me is Summit. All the rest have issues logging out/in

  • Look, feel your pain (I'm serious, I'm in the middle of a couple of root canals) but the solution isn't just technology. You need a public health framework to drive down the price gouging.

  • If you'd been paying attention you'd notice that since 2014 the Ukrainians have been modernising their political and military. The previous governments were infamously corrupt and were dislodged by a popular uprising. This government has made great strides to uproot systemic corruption. It's not perfect but they are certainly improving and need to be encouraged in this and their efforts to dislodge the Russian invaders. Simply parroting Russian talking points (eg: corruption) will not do.

  • VW founded and designed but Porsche
