Hope it stays open source going forward, especially given how it's built on the back of decades of hard work in x-ray crystallography.

Referendums generally fail, people don't like changing the constitution full stop. I know quite a few left-leaning people that voted no because they wanted the voice to he legislated but not constitutionally enshrined.

I thought a labor supermajority would be able to actually be slightly progressive without the fear of being voted out. Just goes to show how far they've drifted from their roots.

I've visited Carnac, it's true that these snakes are surprisingly placid! Such an interesting population - iirc David Attenborough filmed a segment about them about 20 years ago.

Rhipidura leucophrys :)

He/she came right up to me! I was having lunch by the river and the little fella just ran up to me and started singing. They eat bugs and don't really scavenge off people so I don't think he was even after my food. He even hopped on my foot briefly!

Trees. Please, please, please... trees.

Right?? It's so tone deaf. The only people I've seen in support of live exports are farmers... the one group with a vested financial interest in maintaining these exports.

So, the government's picking up the funding slack... right?

... right?

Nothing escapes, not even light... awesome song, everything Arjen touches is gold.

I don't know what to think about housing anymore, I'm just so tired. The new builds around my parents house look shoddy and just plain ugly, not to mention first thing developers do is remove any and all trees and put concrete over the entire block. "Nimby" has become such a buzzword and a scapegoat but like, it's hard not to have a bit of empathy, and anecdotally lots of people would be supportive of these new developments if they weren't all shit. These concrete jungle suburbs will be around for decades at least. But also, the housing crisis is real and developers are saying that red tape around building quality is slowing them down. I desperately want a place to live, nothing fancy but at least safe and liveable. Is it genuinely impossible to have density and build quality?

Been meaning to get into these guys. Album artwork is sick, awesome growls, and cool mastodon vibes in the music too. Will definitely listen to some more!
