the last 12 months.

The outrageous "bro" behaviour of Elon Musk is brought into focus
as he picks a fight with a hero of the Icelandic people.

Twitter ended up having to admit on Twitter that Twitter is not
great for "communication.  


As the Australian people wrestle with inflation, driven by
profiteering, the RBA governor has admitted that the record
increases in interest rates are being driven by "the vibe" of

how it could impact working people.


And the good news is about a new deal for the world's oceans.
