@DunkenKBliths Haha that movie was in our Y12 common room. I reckon I still know the words to some of these scenes

Well it had to happen...at some point ! Coming to Australia soon...

@Oscarthefarmer @NationalFarmers The one on 7.30 last night was cringeworthy, also.

An appalling interview by Minister Don Farrell on ABC RN breakfast today. Mansplaining is patronising, but doing so innacurately is bollocks... the FTA with EU is a turd for ag. (great statements by @NationalFarmers President. Hamish McIntyre is really putting #ausag out well).

@Oscarthefarmer @NationalFarmers He must have a picture of Albo with a goat. He's way out of his depth in such an important role

@timmort_ Keen to hear your thoughts if its worth a read!

Felt like it was about time I opened this bad boy

@AppleBear365 Hahaha

Hey Australia, we've been waiting for 45 years to get you back for this shit... The time has arrived!

@timmort_ @bowtiedstocks Yes the establishment must be worried about attendances. It will be interesting to see how the Waratahs, whos forward pack looks very strong, go against the NZ teams. If they start winning I reckon the crowds will turn up in Sydney at least.

@bowtiedstocks You reckon super rugby is dead? I reckon the quality of the footy is as good as its been in the past two years. And way better to follow with no games in SA. But crowd numbers still not great.

Super Rugby is on its deathbed but if you are in any way rugby inclined This weekends 6 Nations rugby games are well worth checking out Incredible matches, world rugby has never been better Bring on World Cup 2027 !!

@MartinMurray_Ag His communication seems to have more cut-through than anyone I can name in the Libs

@jonwelsh3 Hopefully he keeps it up, because no one else will

Nearly double the tax revenue is raised from beer alone than gas

@WorldClimateSvc Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Looking at index hindcasts, performance of the BoM model looks very respectable - it will certainly add skill to the multi-model ensemble.

It's been a long wait but the Australian BoM model is now showing up in the @CopernicusECMWF C3S database (seasonal forecast data). Hindcasts only for now, realtime forecasts next month apparently. Always fun to run a new model through our calibration and skill tests.

When the MAGAs finally figure out what it was they really voted for:

@afneil That's the dumbest thing I've heard. What about the balance of trade on farm tractors? That's like us complaining the US doesn't buy our brands - 'cause we are not competitive up against John Deere and neither is their beef against ours. #fairdinkum

This is typical of the nonsense being spouted by pro-tariff politicians in US. Australia exports about £3bn beef per year to US at zero tariffs up to a quota laid down in US/Aus free trade agreement. US exports no beef to Aus because it does not meet Aus hormone and biosecurity restrictions. Nothing to do with tariffs. Same reason Europe/UK won’t import US beef. Even if US meat met Aus standards very little would be exported. Aus is self-sufficient in meat, US a big importer i.e not self-suffient. Again, nothing to do with tariffs.

@julia_zemiro I'm out too. Please lets all jump together!

I will be deleting this account this week. Cheers.

@julia_zemiro Bluesky is a good alternative app

@Dittloff4Senate @dyerjonathan @AJGrovefarming Yep, been there. Then skewered the prick accountant. It took 4 years. Feel free to look me up.

@dyerjonathan @AJGrovefarming Yes this is indeed a thing.

Tough day for my family and i. Grew up on these farms and poured my heart into them for the last 14 years building a resilient business,all for broken promises and stubbornness against succession.Parents rather lease out than give me a go.Very disheartening for my true passion 😭

@AJGrovefarming Good things are around the corner, you just don't know it yet. That was Claire and I after 19 years doing 90 hrs a week. The reboot meant a massive weight was lifted. You can/will never change their narrative so free yourself of the guilt. Wishing you well.

Equatorial Pacific SST anomalies, both monthly and weekly, more closely resemble a La Nina Modoki than a canonical La Nina.

@tomdecent @Peter_Fitz Wallabies working out the catch-pass is more important than dumbbell strength. Wow, what a game to watch live it was.

And @Peter_Fitz on the Wallabies. "Suaalii’s transition from national rugby league to international rugby union was simply extraordinary." smh.com.au/sport/suaalii-…

@jnmet Is it the case Jason that sustained PMM values can precede El Niño events?

Strengthening positive Pacific Meridional Mode (PMM) during July and August is a factor in the recent increase of tropical development in the West #Pacific.

@danicaleys Yes - Minister Watt has won over all the sheep farmers in WA. That's an extract from The Chaser, surely

Is this satire?

March 2024 was the moistest March on record for the planet 📈 A warmer world is a moister world: this is evidenced by a weather variable called "total column water" or "precipitable water", the total moisture amount in a column of air, from the ground all the way up to the top of the atmosphere. We track global monthly temperature rankings in near real-time, so why not atmospheric moisture too? To help bridge this gap, I make available a global moisture anomaly map and ranking chart, updated once a month around the 7th on this page: bennollweather.com/weather-graphi… You are welcome to download the high resolution imagery and/or embed the graphics on a webpage.
