I can’t get over the bold “and” - I think it’s to weed out those unable to deal with truth dichotomy.
Thank you for another year of Honest Government Ads! Here's some bloopers and behind the scenes goodies I collected for you over the course of the year. Catch you in 2023 💛

Absolute cracker of a piece about the boring old hierarchialism that packaged for TV as sensational archaeology - excellent stuff from @davidwengrow@twitter.com.

Residential solar sends prices negative ..South Australia
Rando’s random thoughts

Mastodon will greatly benefit from easy to use professionally run instances that can handle massive scaling https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-launch-fediverse-instance-social-media-alternative/
