. @AirCanada just decided to separate my wife and me on our upcoming overseas flight. We had bought and paid for adjoining seats. Now, one week before departure, they notified me that they’re changing MY seat and moving me 12 rows back. No explanation, no apology. Unacceptable.

NATO just picked Sweden's Saab over Boeing to replace its entire airborne surveillance fleet. It's the first time a non-Boeing aircraft leads NATO's common surveillance backbone since 1982. The reason Boeing lost is the best part: the U.S. Air Force dropped the Boeing E-7 from its own budget last year over delays, cost overruns and doubts it could survive in contested airspace. Europe took note and moved on. The deal covers 10 to 12 aircraft at roughly $643 million each, over $5 billion before training and infrastructure. Not formally signed yet, but at this point it's Boeing's loss to reverse. Source: Defense News

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump: "I am very, very disappointed in NATO because they weren’t there. You know, we spend trillions of dollars on NATO in order to protect Europe from Russia, and we’ve always been there... They can’t do it without us."

@Matt_Pinner My husband and I have two (now adult) daughters. Both highly intelligent, university educated, career focused, straight 🙄. Never teased for having two dads. We were accepted by school, parents of other kids, family. Narrow minded bigots were our only obstacle. Big fuck you 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Here's my reply: You can't even do basic math... 600kwh at $0.15 per kwh is $90... not $50... And $0.15 per kwh is pure fantasy, you're buying your energy wholesale instead of retail? Commercial electricity in Australia is up around $0.28c per kwh, putting your energy costs at $168. Still less than Diesel, but now we get to the important bit. That Diesel prime mover unhooks from those trailers, hooks up to some new ones, and keeps rolling. With shift changes for the driver a Diesel prime mover can be rolling for more than 16 hours in a single day. An electric prime mover needing to replenish 600kwh in anything less than 2 hours (300kw power supply) will require it's own transformer from the grid... per truck. Start to factor in the infrastructure costs required, and the cost of the downtime reducing utilisation, add the higher upfront costs, and it all gets VERY expensive very quickly. But yeah... maybe don't post a graphic that features math that doesn't add up... that's... embarrassing. Or it would be if you were capable of understanding it.

Electric trucks “can’t handle heavy freight”… until one quietly does a 480 km round trip fully loaded in NSW and makes diesel look outdated. 36 tonnes. Real route. No shortcuts. 600 kWh used. ~$50 energy cost. Diesel? ~$300 (prewar) ~$600 today. That’s not merely incremental. This is a massive system shift! ~1400 hp vs 500–700 hp diesel. It was overtaking trucks up Mount White. Held speed the whole way → ~40 mins faster. Less breaks. More flow. • Faster • Stronger • ~80–90% cheaper energy • Lower total cost over time High capex, low opex wins. This is already happening on Australian roads. The economics have flipped. Now it’s just adoption curves. ⚡📈 #Bettrification

So the psychopath Trump has abused or insulted the leaders of Britain, Canada, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Greenland, Spain, the Catholic Church, Mexico and now Italy. Anyone I’ve forgotten ? Pretty soon his only friend in the world will be Vladimir Putin.

Jess Wilson’s pre-Parliament experience was as a staffer for Josh Frydenberg, followed by a stint with a business lobby group. That may be why her stale policy offering sounds like a Morrison–Matt Guy tribute act: gas, gas, gas - Australia’s most expensive electricity.

This is a truly frightening speech by a person who is both stupid and evil. I’m happy to hear she was chased out of New Zealand and now lives in disgrace in Australia. She’s a freak, not of nature, but of modern progressivism.

@ArkadyArtemis @WhosFibbing They should be reported to the ACCC. Easter Sunday is NOT a public holiday in Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia or Tasmanis either.

I’ve been arrested. I wanted to test Australia’s nuclear power ban in this energy crisis, but got caught. I’ll now face up to 7 years jail time.

@mattjcan 2c/kWh. $1.40 to charge my EV today Matt. That’s Australia’s superpower, and our path to energy sovereignty. The LNP’s still campaigning for the 1950s. The world has moved on, and you’ve missed it.
