It's going to be a difficult week for many of Australia's climate researchers. 🧪
I'll say more once the details of the proposed cuts are known but it's looking like Australia is going to heavily reduce our climate science capacity and capabilities.

Goes back at least to Cotton Mather, if not Plato, no?
Either way, he sucks!
Hell, there's probably a communal pot in the faculty lounge, but that's likely too plebian. And he might be barred due to whining about being expected to make a fresh pot when he takes the last cup.
"It's the cheap slop we keep for customers with no taste. You'll love it."
If he's in such an all-fired hurry, he should just get a keurig for his office.
I'm sure he also whines when his order at a restaurant gets taken after a table of 5, & expects the kitchen to prioritize him. 🙄
Both of which they likely should pay more attention to, but there's a tendency to rest on the "better than the US" laurels about both.
Grumpy-old-cup-a-cawfe men whose peers were the reason the Italians invented the "Americano"…
[Well, those were the tiresome old asshats in the '90s, at least]
I have a friend who is similarly a Consummate Indoorsman. Flying out to a conference near where I went to grad school & I am No Help for fun things to do, as my list is all hikes & remote hot springs & neat rocks.
Miya Wilkes, 34, insists on being conscientious about giving everyone their dues – except for herself, because everything she does is garbage and anyone could do it, if you think about it.
"Me? Consider other people as human? Think about their fears of impoverishment? Me, a rich white boy whose worst day ever is when the spring break spot didn't have a copper cup for my Moscow mule?!"
…it certainly built my ability to string non-cuss-words into cuss-word-shaped phrases…
Just plug your nose & refuse to ever close your mouth, & you're golden!
Yup. One grandma worked as a shop clerk & later did in-home childcare for other working women; the other was a farm wife (which means she did farm work as well as keeping up the household).
Or even "love you loads," for the likely originating pun?
(My church went with "saving suds", but I've not seen a washing machine with a "suds saver" option in years.)
"What time do you go to the dentist?"
"Tooth-hurty!"
The cows were ironically LESS likely to knock me down (luckily!) but "augh why is no one watching the bridge/cows in the cornfield (what'll I do?)/ oh c'mon I just got half the herd out to see the other half going in!" is VERY familiar.
Do Japanese kids ever blame random messes or breakage on them?
Listening to the anti-trans lobbies' OBSESSION with 'preserving' children's fertility and fuckability for the opposite sex is making me feel ill.
Is that all children are to you? Sperm banks and incubators? Fuck toys and wank material? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL?
Average Linux-car user: "but if you reset the spark plug gap every time you get 0.000001 mpg better gas use! And spend an extra hour getting the timing belt to exactly 54.23 lbs tension (redo it every 25 miles) to accelerate 0.0003% faster!"
Me: I'll take the bus, fuck you very much.
I had to explain why I laughed at being offered a 2:30 dental appt! To the hygenist!
I thought I was sparing them a tired old joke by chuckling quietly to myself, but apparently not?!
They've won that one, in the West.
Five orange bean shaped bees. Bumblebeans.
Bumblebeans.

Bit clicky, might need lubrication with tuna oil!
The love & care & indigenous wisdom that #32 Jody Potts-Joseph leads her dog team with can be seen in their handmade regalia for the #Iditarod ceremonial start.
Are those *beaded*?? Do you know how long beading takes?! Seeing them adorned and honored this way made me cry 🥹 my heart money’s on her
Mid-20s, even. I think I was sharper in college than after a decade of work!
…that would've been around 2008, come to think of it, for me. Now I'm also feeling old!
I only noticed because I was looking through old field photos & went "argh" trying to get an ID!
My mom did the "put 103 miles on the car because Grandma checked if she'd gone more than 3 but didn't look at the 100s place" thing once & by the time I was a teen that would've bankrupted me (ok not quite but still).
[Also she was both more clever & less uptight than Grandma so I didn't have to]
