The LNP has a candidate problem.
“Since I started covering #Bruce in #Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs, voters and Labor insiders have raised questions with me about the #Liberal Party’s promotion of its candidate #ZahidSafi as a successful “small businessman”. So I decided to take a look for myself and headed for Merribrook Boulevard in Clyde.”
Update Safi has been found, “We found Safi!” #CharlotteGrieve <https://archive.md/lyfPg>

I like the mix here. The retarded shitposting can be glorious, yet I find plenty to be insightful and offers opportunities to learn and share on “quality” subjects.
Case in point, I went from zero to 8 GMRS radios in the span of a couple months and trying to learn based on stuff here. And appreciate discussion on other subjects. But it’s nice to see retarded stuff in between to lighten things.
Maybe a #quality tag?

Duns festival
I know we might be considered to bring it upon ourselves - fighting everyone north and south of the border, but the festival has been a brilliant showacse for new talent as well as established writers and performers. Not far from many in southern Scotland and worth a look.
Friday 2- Saturday 10 May.
Have to confess a bias, a neighbour who writes for much TV&Theatre has a piece here.
Just attempted to go shopping for clothes, and while I know the quality has gone down across the board it was sad to see how much quality has dropped.
Even on so called luxury brands, the quality has dropped dramatically, the cloth, the stitching, the material it has all gone downhill.
For example quite a few clothes I came across used overlocking for structural parts without using another stitch to actually provide strength.
At this point I am honestly considering getting a sewing machine, some bolts of fabric, some patterns and attempting to sew my own clothes. #frustration #clothes #clothing #sewing #quality #lowQuality
