You have to disable template on the canvas to see what th flag actually looked like at the end.

Is that bigger, smaller or same size as last year?

As someone from somewhere other than North America I had no idea Car Talk was a real thing until I saw The best science podcast isn’t what you think.

Rick lives. Somebody tell Maggie.

Nah that shit doesn’t pass the sniff test. It’s Israel through and through.

They could be for real. I honestly don’t know. Maybe it wasn’t an ad. That’s why I asked. In case it was a misunderstanding. Although at this point, it’s not looking good.

You’re back! What do you think about the mods removing that comment you made in your last post that seemed like an advertisment for a funeral business?

It doesn’t?

I don’t understand.

Paintball gunners?

It looks like a WordPress competitor. I didn’t check what it’s written in.

What do you use your server for? Folks could provide answers relevant to your use case if you mention that. Just a thought.

It’s already too cold brrr. I’m not built for this.

Why were donations disabled? Did they raise what they needed?

That is so rad.

Cox said on Monday, in a press conference alongside Albanese, that her “values and priorities are more aligned with Labor than the Greens”.

“I’ve worked hard to make Australia fairer and much more reconciled. But recently, I’ve lost some confidence in the capacity for the Greens to assist me in being able to progress this.”

…

Last week, Cox slammed federal Labor for its approval of the massive North West Shelf gas project extension to 2070 as a “raw and chilling reminder” that First Nations people lack the protection for their cultural heritage rights.

But the split also follows bullying allegations against the senator that were being investigated by Perth law firm Modern Legal for the West Australian Greens at the time of her departure, despite Cox’s consistent denials.

“It is our understanding that the investigation was still underway at the time of senator Cox’s resignation from the Australian Greens to join the Labor Party,” a party spokesperson said. “We also understand that any further inquiry into the matter will now cease.”

How convenient for Senator Cox

This is going to sound strange - because the perception is that The Greens are a radical leftist activist party - but they could do more to build grass roots campaigns, bring together progressive coalitions and be more of a popular front for radical social change. I don’t think this would harm their electoral support and could well see it increase. Their current, and possibly only strategy, of being an electoralist party may well have plateaued.

Just one example off the top of my head. While the Greens were championing housing reforms in federal parliament were they also arguing for and helping to organise mass popular protests and movements on the streets? Campaigns that could bring together workers and families from across the political divide to put even more political pressure on Labor? I didn’t see it. I know the public housing campaign in Sydney didn’t see it.

I don’t think much will change for The Greens right now. The federal election results are not as big a deal for them as pundits are making out. I think The Greens know this and will bide their time and change nothing. Which will be a massive waste of an opportunity to reorient to the grass roots coalition building that The Greens formed out of.

Should have fucking resigned.

Maybe it’s a thing blind authors do so as not to cause confusion to other blind readers. Dunno.
