Dementia can be an agonising and very distressing way die. We must give people the ability to choose, to do otherwise is cruelty. c.org/b2zD8HVmF9

Just want to mention that "maintenance" on an EV is cabin filter change and tire rotation THis is why dealerships hate EV's they cant profit off of maintenance, no more oil changes, tune ups, transmission work

Malignant narcissism is a severe, unofficial psychological syndrome combining extreme narcissism with antisocial behavior, ego-syntonic sadism, and paranoia. It goes beyond standard narcissism, exhibiting malicious manipulation, remorselessness, and a desire to destroy others.

Just scrolled past a post that said, "Please stop anthropomorphizing other people!" and I'm starting to think that dictionaries should be distributed free the way phone books used to be. Words have meaning, y'all. That's kind of how language works.

The things everyone anticipated. Trump clearly did not anticipate - as he says himself - that Iran would fire missiles at its Gulf neighbours, who are US allies. He did not anticipate that Iran would be able to close off, and keep closed off, the Strait of Hormuz. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

And there it is.

If we bought a few less bombs, we could probably afford nice things. One thing I'd like to see from the next presidency would be to appoint a special commission to prepare a report on the actual cost to defend the United States from attack. Not foreign wars. Just the cost to defend this country.

I don't dare ask how they came up with this idea. Scientists have used pig semen to develop eye drops that can stop tumour growth in the retina and preserve vision, a study1 in mice shows. The work is published today in Science Advances. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A Greens' aged care inquiry has discovered there's no legal basis for Labor removing human oversight of algorithmic assessments, and the department is exploring options to reinstate clinical override. Letting the algorithm rip has been a disaster. Put humans back in charge.

HEADLINE OF THE DAY: 😆 #BuhBYE

Asked why the US was sending troops to a war that it had already won, the spokesperson was clear. “We’ve already won, but we’re also very close to winning. We’re currently about two weeks away from this war being as won as it already was on the first day.” theshovel.com.au/2026/04/01/w...

A very, very important reminder that the chaotic and ugly impacts of war won't always just be showing people the folly of oil and gas (this is why we have been fighting for a controlled fossil phaseout for years) blog.gridstatus.io/coal-arreste...

When even the big banks say it's time to tax gas ... It's time.

@albomp.bsky.social by ignoring recommendations it's clear you're owned by the gambling industry & media that profits from it. Those suffering the affects of gambling addiction including families, abused partners and kids obviously don't matter to you. Total Ban now. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

That’s one hell of a cover…..

This is Molly. She was finally found a week after her human fell down a 180-foot waterfall while hiking together in New Zealand. Her human was badly injured and rescued by helicopter, but Molly was missing. A week later, Molly was found at the base of the waterfall and reunited with her human. 14/10

🇺🇦 Zelensky: When the whole world learned about Bucha. About Ukrainians brutally killed on the streets of Bucha by Russian occupiers. About our tortured people in basements. About adults and children whose bodies were found in graves in Bucha. Everyone saw the horror of Russia and its aggression.

Israel is a bloodthirsty terrorist state that specialises in murdering aid workers, journalists and civilians. They won't directly fight Iran as they'd face an actual military force. Israeli ambassador rejects plea from Zomi Frankcom’s family and refuses to apologise www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

“Now we think about people. Who is the car for? Who is driving it?” Surely the statement above must be at the core of any design methodology. Sadly it frequently isn't. Not just in cars also computer software, housing, urban design, machinery & tools, even clothing. www.drive.com.au/news/volkswa...

Dogs have been family for at least 16,000 years. These two new studies make one thing very clear: by the end of the Ice Age, dogs were already deeply woven into human life and had become part of the community, forging deep bonds that continue to this day. theconversation.com/ancient-bone...

So the Israeli Ambassador basically refuses to apologise to Zomi Frankcom's family. Saying he "thinks sympathy has been expressed" is not an apology. #NPC #Israel #Gaza

Peak Aussie.

NSW Premier Minns has suggested Australia turn to electric cars. If the ALP had worked with the Greens for the last decade or so . . . never mind. #AusPol

Israel is evil and only exists to perpetrate evil

The man representing a genocidal regime in Australia told blatant lies at the NPC today, and Australia’s finest journalists applauded him. #auspol

A significant win for young workers. Wages should be based on what you do, not your age. Kudos to the employers who were paying above award anyway as they valued their employees, realising their business wouldn't exist without them. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
