@stux One of the more appealing characteristics of Mastodon is that it's about topics of interest, and people, and not a celebrity-chasing site. It's not (so far) bombarding me with items I'm not interested in just because so and so said something, anything - whether clever, funny or not clever, not funny. OTOH it could be useful in knowing who/what to avoid 😄 (I'm not good at keeping up with popular culture and not a fan of celebrity worship, so my opinion is prob worthless:D)

No surprises in this newly released report on PM Morrison's takeover of government ministries. He was trying out for the role of autocrat.#auspol #Morrison https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-25/scott-morrison-secret-ministry-inquiry-released/101694156

@timrichards Good catch.Looking at downdetector, #Twitter has been down for 8 hours so far in Australia and NZ, from ~6:30 am to the current ~2:20 pm AEDT. I guess there's nobody left to fix it.https://downdetector.com.au/status/twitter/

Massive flooding at the Fitzroy River at Fitzroy Crossing in Western Australia. The river height went from around a metre to a record 15.81 metres (~52 feet). The previous record was 13.95m in 2002.http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDW62400/IDW62400.503014.tbl.shtml(Archived: http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDW62400/IDW62400.503014.tbl.shtml)#Floods #FitzroyRiver #Australia #Climate #Kimberleyhttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-01-04/defence-force-evacuate-stranded-wa-kimberley-residents-flooding/101826130

RIP John Kerin.He was one of the most important reformers of Australian agriculture. He certainly shook up and changed ag industry in Australia, for the better overall.(I once had the privilege of being a keynote speaker at a national agriculture conference, sharing the platform with him.)#JohnKerin #Agriculture #Australia #AusPol https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-29/john-kerin-former-labor-agriculture-minister-dies-aged-85/102160876
