Outside our family home a Diesel truck decided to idle for about half an hour. Our house is full of Diesel exhaust & so are our bodies. ICYMI, Diesel emissions are a known carcinogen & can cause hypertension & contribute to Dementia. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

A family member who lived in Launceston died. It was necessary for us to get there in a vehicle. We just drove our 2019 Model 3 SR+, which has less range than most new EVs, from Brisbane to Launceston & back. From Geelong to Brisbane in 2 days. Be not afraid. EVs & related infra are good to go.

What to do on a rainy day in Brisbane? Take a 50c ride on a fancy Swiss made #ElectricVehicle (Brisbane Metro) & watch it take a cheeky ~4min charge. #AlwaysBeCharging #PublicTransport

Tesla have abandoned the North side of Brisbane, so it's good to have other charging infrastructure to fill the gap.

Trucks are not the only vehicles made in the US that receive parts made in Mexico. This from Fremont:

The population of @bsky.app will likely exceed the population of Australia in coming weeks. vqv.app/stats/ Here's a Quokka to celebrate 🥳

Two #bnestorm cells are about to merge over Brisbane & give yesterday's weather adventure a run for its money. Take care everyone.

The lower one heading North East appears to have hail in it.

Just when @guardianaustralia.bsky.social published a lovely article & after recent interaction with others including @tonymartin.bsky.social , it appears @shaunmicallef.bsky.social has bid adieu to Bluesky. 🙁

Looks like Brisbane is about to experience its next #Bnestorm.

Sun drunk juvenile Australian Magpies having a lovely, if not stylish time. (Yes, they're fine.)

Who can know the mind of an Australian Magpie. (Yes, this juvenile is perfectly fine. Just wants to snuggle on a 33 Celcius day)

As another wave of COVID ramps up in Australia, the denial is mostly ubiquitous. Only echos of care that previously existed remain. This one brought to you by the Brisbane City Council.

😘❤️ Brisbane winters are the best! So much more agreeable than the merciless pressure cooker summer.
