Fears that #Israel or international partners could pressure #Egypt into accepting millions of #Palestinians settling in the #Sinai have abounded for decades in #Cairo: #HosniMubarak strenuously denied reports in 2017 that he had cut a deal with #MargaretThatcher in 1983 to resettle Palestinians exiled in Lebanon in the peninsula, adding that #BenjaminNetanyahu, had also proposed the idea in 2010.
This is Australia, you can imagine what's it like in Indonesia & Malaysia.
Up to 10,000 people are expected to march through the #Sydney CBD on Saturday afternoon after police green-lit the event, and many more are set to attend events in #Perth, #Hobart and #Brisbane as more information emerges from conflict-stricken #Gaza. #Israel
I lived in #Perth for a year. And one of my fondest memories of Perth were the ravens. Those suckers were the size of chickens, I swear. They would perch on top of dumpsters or trees and stare at you with those beady little eyes, as if they were plotting your murder, and then they let out this long kaaaaaAAAWWWAAAH????
As if they are asking, "wtf you doin' here mate?"
Good times. 😆

Oh yes, great birds... Until you have one for 3+ months bashing on your window, all day, everyday with the look of a crazy bird. Never have a seen such unity on the floor as to the hatred of that bird!
(Who now has been called Greg. They had a friend/wife/therapist Raven hang out on the wall but they seem to have given up on poor Greg too. There definitely seemed to be a "He's not with me and I do not know him," vibe going on)
Toying around with the idea of using ChatGPT or some local version to scrape local food blogs, looking for details about new or closing restaurants and cafes.
Something like this could become a great "notes" feed to highlight where we might need to update #OpenStreetMap
While working to fetch all the posts on the Perth is OK website, I found that the internet archive and the way back machine is an amazing tool for this.
No more dealing with rate limits or "are you a not" systems. Just a easy command to download everything.
Michael Barclay shared his story on #Australian television after the incident that saw him rejected because his #mataora reportedly breached the establishment’s own rules.
G’day #Australia! Next month, #AynRand Institute president and CEO Tal Tsfany is embarking on a seven-date speaking tour on “The Moral Case for #Liberty”!
Since the founding of Perth, Lake Monger (Galup) has been a literal garbage dump, a toxic algae death pool, and had its water cycle inverted by intensive development. And yet today it has too many Wood Ducklings and endangered turtles bravely marching across lawns to lay eggs. Conservation works! Don’t be conned into thinking you can’t change things! 🌳
Here's the latest variant picture for Western Australia.
The XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" clan (31%) is battling with XBB.1.5.* "Kraken" variant (23%) for dominance.
XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (20%) is growing quite rapidly. Be alert for conjunctivitis symptoms, which seem more common with that variant.
The variant mix in WA continues to be uniquely chaotic, reflecting it's situation as a global crossroads. Even WA residents who've been racking up regular reinfections are likely to meet globally obscure variants capable of overcoming their immunity.
The sample volumes seem representative up to May 12.
