- Comment on Greens leader Adam Bandt projected to lose in Melbourne, leaving party without its captain - ABC News 1 day ago:
I’m out of the loop on Greens party structure. The below is from Wikipedia:
On Saturday 12 November 2005 at the national conference in Hobart, the Australian Greens abandoned their long-standing tradition of having no official leader and approved a process whereby a parliamentary leader could be elected by the Greens Parliamentary Party Room.
Are there no other leadership structures?
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 1 day ago:
The Steamroller and The Violin. Short (45mins) by Tarkovsky. It his like graduate film or something. I’ll look it up in a moment.
Mickey 17. I listened to the audiobook earlier this year and I prefered that to the movie.
We started watching The Count of Monte Cristo and we’ll finish it soon. If you like the recent Musketeer films then you’ll like this.

How do you suggest The Greens step up?
- Comment on Australia 2025 – Wrap-up of the night 4 days ago:
For the lower house I was thinking of something more like multi-member proportional voting with some sane thresholds that candidates have to meet to get elected. So for example in seats like Wills the community is represented by the two candidates that the community overwhelmingly favoured and who basically got the same amount of votes.
- Comment on Australia 2025 – Wrap-up of the night 4 days ago:
I can’t be sure but I think the author means it’s unfair in the sense that you have a high ‘anti-establishment’ vote but those voters don’t end up with any representation. I don’t think they’re advocating for first past the post.
Perhaps the introduction of some sort of proportional representative system would make things a little more democratic.

Not sure if I’m being complimented.
I went looking for the source of the image to find out more. Disappointed to discover it was fake even though I suspected it was.

This is uncharted territory and we are essentially running an experiment. For this reason we’re not licensing or open sourcing the game’s assets - the art, music, and IP will still be protected for the time being. But all of the code that makes the game run will be made public. We have not chosen the exact license under which we will be open sourcing the game’s code, but it will be one of the OSI’s approved open source licenses.

- Comment on Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters? 2 weeks ago:
Unpopular one incoming. The economy of Earth (for whatever the term “economy” is worth here) operates more similarly to an idealized form of capitalism than it does to communism. We see that private property canonically exists and can be acquired or relinquished through personal transactions. The Picards own Chateau Picard, Joseph Sisko owns Sisko’s restaurant, and they’re free to operate them as they see fit.
Those are not necessarily features of a capitalist mode of production.

It’s juvenile. If it survives to maturity it could grow up to six meters.
- Comment on Colossal Squid, 1st Live Observation | Searching for New Species in the South Sandwich Islands 3 weeks ago:
According to this piece this young colossal squid is about 30cm.
Maybe one day they’ll observe one of the much larger old ones in their habitat.
