One thousand submissions attract 95 per cent opposition to new Tesla factory in Australian city of Adelaide.

'I could not think of a worse developer to sell the land to. Tesla sales have been plummetting [sic] … this is likely to attract protests and negative attention that the neighbourhood does not need or want.'

What's considered best practice for multiple images on Pixelfed?

What's considered best practice for multiple images on Pixelfed?

Hey #Pixelfed users, if I have a bunch of images from an event I'd like to share, what's the best way? One post per image? Group images into themes of 1–2? All images in as few posts (max 8 per post on my instance) as possible?

Also, does anyone know how to get them to show up in a Lemmy community, or what that'll look like? How do "Collections" factor into it? @pixelfed

Queensland Government promises to build yet another (probably tolled) fucking car tunnel.

Fuck this makes me **so** angry. We KNOW this doesn't work. You want to solve congestion, road diet the existing roads. Build good bike infrastructure. Build good public transport. How does this happen with a single off-the-cuff announcement when *months* of back-and-forth debate over public transport network with the NWTC went *nowhere*.

UQ students standing in solidarity with Palestine

UQ students standing in solidarity with Palestine

UQ has a very strong relationship with US weapons manufacturer Boeing. Students are protesting this relationship, as well as showing general support for Palestinians, by staging a camp-in on campus.

Some photos I took of the camp as I walked past them this morning.

edit: 2nd & 3rd images linked for Lemmy:

Someone else feel free to repost or put them inline for Lemmings' convience.
