I hope the dangerous regime threatening peace in the middle east by a dangerous arsenal including a nuclear weapons program is destroyed utterly. And all the governments of all the countries assisting that regime fall, and their leaders put on trial.

What cybersecurity warnings have been issued to Australians banks and government agencies to conduct heightened sweeps and be on top alerts recently given we're supporting an unprovoked attack and the conflict is existential for all the cyber superpowers?

If Iran faces a quick loss, a "use it or lose it" scenario for missiles, it could stop attacking Israel (which is defended by the Ford), and give the US a bloody nose where it counts - shift attacks to less-defended gulf oil infrastructure well before markets open Monday.

What's the difference between a "pre-emptive strike" and an "unprovoked attack"? The same as "mowing the lawn" and "genocide". Using the second of each of the choices is against the rules-based order and indeed anti-semitic.

If Reform had won this, it would be all over our media as an ‘unstoppable force’ and Hanson would be platformed as saying it was inevitable here. But no one ever treats a progressive win in the same way. That’s an ‘outlier’

What is this liquid that falls from the sky and after a while puts a sheen on the dirt where the grass used to be, and a strange glorious smell in the air? There's a word for it, I think. I knew it once. Oh that's right. Rain. This is good. Town will be buzzing come Monday.

If you think people going to Africa to be on safari to shoot elephants and lions are sick fucks, what about those who travelled to Israel to join the IDF and kill women and children? Because they saw what was going on and said "Yeah, I want some of that"

“Dude’s quoting Scott [Morrison] now!!! ‘She’s had a difficult life’… Spare me the condescension, old man. We all know what you meant. A badge of honour anyway. A confession that I’ve ruffled him,” - Grace Tame on Albo's BS. Spot on, Grace. Stay untamed. Albo? Quit while you're only a mile behind.

“She just doesn’t have the spinlessness needed for politics,” said Albanese chaser.com.au/national/spi...

We need untamed Grace. Long may she remain so.

President Gerald Ford couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time. USS Gerald Ford can't sail and flush poo are the same time.

It seems the press was asked to keep it quiet about Epstein-linked Norwegian ex-PM Thorbjørn Jagland trying to do the right thing last week. Unless perhaps he was being "assisted" to try and do the right thing so he wouldn't talk.

At least the dinosaurs have the excuse that the asteroid that wiped them out wasn't their own stupid fault.

In Fitzroy. Join the ADF: Kill and main for Israel and USA.

the "international rules-based order" is like the holy roman empire that was neither holy nor roman nor an empire, in that it does not represent the global majority so is not truly international, does not obey rules consistently, and creates disorder.

If Albo wants Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor off the line of succession, then he'll want the 28-high-profile Australians (including a former PM) on the police list of a paedophile ring Senator Heffernan claims saw investigated rather than a Royal Commission refusing to look at it youtu.be/rG9cEbj_qo0

Those putting themselves above the law simultaneously put themselves beyond the protection of the law. Cicero might not have said it, but if you've read On Duties, The Republic, and The Philippics, I've sure you'd agree, he makes the arguments for such a statement.

At least Huckabee's being honest about the long-standing agenda. But the quiet part is it meshing with the newer agenda of preventing a land corridor for transport between Africa and Eurasia - forcing goods to risk pirate-infested waters. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Whoever thought this up deserves a medal: Philanthropy: You love people. Misanthropy: You hate people. Lycanthropy: You hate people but love how they taste.

There should be betting markets on how many people who held what types of significant positions of power (Presidents/PMs, Members of Congress/Parliament, High/Supreme Court Judges, Cabinet Ministers, CEOs of Banks, etc) get prison (or "death by misadventure") due to Epstein ties by 2030 ...

The Australian Ballet - at pre-match entertainment stage now - all for free on the Horsham footy oval - kebabs and burgers and beer in the trucks and tents - or byo picnic.

Well .... obviously not the ones merely topics of conversation ... the ones included by Bondi in lists to muddy the waters .... like Janis Joplin and Elvis ....

Malmsey was EXPENSIVE. A butt=477 litres. VERY expensive. What to do with 477 litres of wine that you drowned someone in? If they maybe pissed and shat and puked while dying? George: (Flips bird) Ed: F*** Dick: Not butt. Bucket. Tie it on his head. Turn him upside down. Fill it.

Former chair of the Australian Republican Movement and ex-Socceroo Craig Foster says the arrest of ex-prince Andrew should “spark a national conversation” about the monarchy. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The last time the brother of a reigning English King was convicted of a serious crime, it was George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence, who was executed by drowning in malmsey wine, as he requested, in 1478, and the King was Edward IV. If you're hoping to see that again, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Guess who? Yes, it is the Andrew now known as an arbitrary number that can be used just once in cryptographic communications to prevent replay attacks.

South Korea's ex President got a life sentence for inappropriate use of the military for political gain. I wonder if that can apply here, and for inappropriate use of the police rather than the military?

TIL about the useful but very informal term "pump head". TFW when you combine that with knowing an effing hero decided to spend 5.5 hours repairing what could've been a 60-90 minute mitral valve replacement. Time on bypass matters for pump head. Sometimes explanatory power sucks.

If you are an owner-occupier, why would you want the value of your home to increase? If the utility stays the same (same number of people live there in same comfort) but the market drops, your rates and insurance become can only be more affordable.

When clearly anti-fascist satirical posters cause the police to close a bar and seize the posters under the new laws, it's unavoidable to conclude the police and the new laws are fascist and Australia is rushing into a dystopian lobster pot. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

@aflw.bsky.social - Just listing the teams for Vic and WA? What about SA? And given the girls have barely half a season, there's no excuse for not having a proper mini series: each plays the other two, with a decider if needed. www.afl.com.au/aflw/news/14...

#Trump #Epstein

If Albo had taken no action against Australian ISIS brides (who killed no-one), he would not have by his inaction against Australian IDF genocide-participants be lending (again) support to criminal ethnosupremacists as a class with a get-out-of-gaol free card.

Everybody learning about the Epstein files: "We never thought the ruling elites could be that depraved" Classics nerd 1: "Minnows?" Classics nerd 2: "Yep. Minnows." Classics nerd 1: "Those who fail to learn from history?" Classics nerd 2: "Yep"

How wasteful is AUKUS? The Japanese started their "we need new subs" review only a couple of years ahead of Australia and already have 16 subs, at about only half a billion (Australian dollars) each, while we have nothing, they'll cost at least 25 billion each, and won't be defending our homeland.

Foreign lobbyists are writing Australian law #auspol

And a gold medal to this swiss sports commentator x.com/goddek/statu...

Well, perhaps the "Epstein Empire" to refer to US/Israel and the vassals might be more accurate - but still, the idea is a tight a fit as a sprayed-on glove.

Wondering whether it's the habit of some of Herzog's bodyguards to wear facemasks so they couldn't be matched to footage, or identified by witnesses, of atrocities on tiktok?

A 25% tax on gas exports could raise $17bn every year. Aussies pay more tax on beer than the gas industry pay on gas exports. End the scam: https://nb.australiainstitute.org.au/fix_gas_export_problem_b?utm_campaign=petition&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky&utm_term=CLI_FossilFuel&utm_content=0

It's good to be able to cheer The Bont for once!

Much though it's handy for the Big V, it feels dirty getting one from Toby Greene, so I can't cheer it.
