I'm never buying a Johnson and Johnson product again! Their products cause cancer and they do everything to cover it up and not pay the victims. https://youtube.com/watch?v=tpxzjGxSjA8

I love English. It's a trash fire disguised as a language and I'm here for all of it. However, I really need to be better about people not speaking it "correctly." It's a goddamn trash fire. Of course people don't speak it correctly. I'm pretty sure there's no correct way to speak it. And that's leaving out all the racism and classism which goes into "grammatical perfection."
English isn't Latin. It's a glorious clusterfuck of stolen parts bolted onto a bastard chassis and powered entirely by the burning of dictionaries. There is no way that it should be the lingua franca of international affairs, and yet it is. Speak it any way you want. English doesn't give a fuck. English will take your error and turn it into a part of itself. English drinks prescriptivist tears like fine wine. Contribute to the delinquency of English any way you can.
Western Australia's domestic methane (natural) gas market is being linked to the export market. This is a double edged sword to move the state to renewables. I have electrified my house so I don't buy gas or oil but a lot of the peak electricity supply is gas. Our government retailer Synergy, is always developing new products to support consumer renewables & demand management. I can't wait to see what they do next year to help people reduce their fossil fuel use and cost

Science* isn’t something you “believe” in.
Science is something you think in.
There is a huge difference between belief and knowledge.
*Science is answering questions by measuring observations in a manner that is repeatable.
I was watching 'The Diplomat' on Netflix and the captions censored the word 'shit' by not showing it. Even though it was said in the audio. If they want to censor, fine but also beep out the word from the audio track or hide the title behind parental controls.
If you see censored words report it as a caption or subtitle error. #EqualAccess
