Abosolutely this. You don't buy electronics from a brick layer. Buying an alliance crom Trump is insane! #Auspol @albomp.bsky.social

"We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things" says the stupid man who sacked all the smart people and replaced them with stupid ones.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

Watch this. I strive to be this clear and effective. Best line — “A temper tantrum disguised as an ideology.”

⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled. Not hate. Not celebration of death. Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known. Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.

Okay, to put an even sharper point on this: they are not even 9 months in and they are openly censoring *Jimmy fucking Kimmel* because he poked fun at the president for lack of empathy. These are desperate moves. They are desperate because they are weak and people are naming it.

I don't consume Murdoch Empire products, so I wasn't aware of how badly our local Fox Affiliates were suffering from the vapours over a journalist calmly doing his job. I'd be interested in the answer to John Lyons' question. How much has Trump's family profited from his presidency?

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

If Trump doesn't raise his threatening abuse of Australian journalist @johnthelyonsden.bsky.social when he meets Albanese, then Albanese must. And he must defend Lyons. This ugly authoritarian behaviour by Trump proves how far our two country's values are diverging.

This dropped during the Charlie Kirk news and barely anyone saw it. www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

The government that is paying respect to Charlie Kirk should, with urgency, grant one of his final wishes.

Like most cities, Brisbane has some grand inner city houses built in the “timber and tin” vernacular. This one at Bardon has just had a serious makeover.

This is jawdropping. Fire-fighters in the USA were not provided with masks to protect against smoke inhalation because to do so would open the fireservice to injury claims for all the decades they didn't provide smoke protection. P2 masks are definitely provided in Australia.

dear algorithm I’ll post consistently fulfilling our arrangement I suppose you will too I’ll be waiting for engagement #Poem #Poetry #MicroPoetry #PoetryCommunity

Mask up. The nimbus strain of covid comes with razorblade sore throat.

Spot on analysis.

Please stop referring to 2020-202x (whatever you think) as “during the pandemic” because the pandemic is still ongoing and this implies it’s over. It’s not. Call it “early pandemic” if you will. When I refer to 2020-2022 it’s “early pandemic” bc y’all Covid is still here.

Thirty-four sentences. Concurrent is fine.

Keep their voices alive.

US railways are a good metaphor for the United States itself. Built by robber barons to enrich themselves, using an exploited workforce, and abandoned once it was no longer generating individual profit.

I don't want to see him die in office. I want to see him die in jail.

For the Aussies out there ⁦4corners⁩ ABC TV will broadcast Gaza:Doctors Under Attack, the documentary the BBC would not run. Monday 1 Sept 8.30 pm. Thanks ABC, Australians need to know what’s really going on.

WATCH as this combat veteran lays it ALL out! "We did not spend time away from family to separate others from theirs." This man is a TRUE patriot!

This article says that if this was happening in South America we'd recognise it as a coup. But it's happening in the USA, so "that's OK". The people know what's happening. It's the media that need to reconsider it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There's a message from @vanbadham.bsky.social over on Facebook that I recommend everyone read. The good guys in the USA are facing an uphill battle getting traction against MAGA and Trump, but they're working hard. We can help by sharing news from reputable sources. www.facebook.com/share/1A9CVE...

My friend has mentioned that "Bandits" dig holes in her grass. I've briefly pondered this localised crime wave. This morning, she said she'd been watching Bondi Vet, and someone bought in a baby bandit. Wait, no, wombat. Wombat, not bandit Oh, Bandicoot! She's got a bandicoot problem.

This image. Someone was doing important work in documenting a genocide, and died for it. Count the journalists who have died covering Gaza. It's in the hundreds.

I don't know if anyone is going to vote for Newsom because of these. It's not going to change the minds of anyone who votes on policy. My hope is that enough apathetic borderline Trump voters are able to connect the dots. ("That's really stupid. It's mocking Trump. Oh, now I get it" 💡moment)

I've achieved a one thousand day streak on 64ordle. Now I can get a new phone.

Democrats should be doing press conferences every day with people hurt by Trump and his policies. Scientists, struggling people, the disabled, etc. Also with WWII veterans and Holocaust survivors who remember fascism. They should be telling people’s stories to humanize the damage.

The last in a long thread that starts, "don't yuck other people's yums." Your likes are as valid as mine. And people in outgroups have valid yums, too. In other words, be kind, even when you don't understand where they're coming from.

If you haven't already, stop buying & letting others you care about buy industrially-farmed, regularly sick & diseased Tasmanian salmon

America 🇺🇸 never returns as beloved now, not after Trump twice, understand that.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

Tamsania. 🤣 Thread shows chatGPT5 took several attempts to get right. #AIFail

If you can find them, follow the content creators, not the content thieves.

we don't like or respect you, winning an argument with you means nothing, I'd rather spend my time collaborating on progress than being condescending about the past & present

Stop this. Just… Stop it. Stop using "generative AI" for anything that might actually matter, and especially things that, if it gets them wrong, *Might Fucking Kill You.* Why does this need to be said? Why is this not obvious??? Why is this not the default way of fucking operating?! What the FUCK.

Donald Trump on the roof of the White House, emulating Nebuchadnezzar. The dream is fulfilled. See Alt Text for details.

Has to be law everywhere.

This is his own claim...

Because we all went to him with tears in our eyes and begged "Sir, we really want you to have a gigantic ballroom so you can dance in front of infinity mirrors"

This exchange - one for the ages. Riveting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5kX...

The names of 17,000 children killed in Gaza have been tabled in the Australian parliament, with Labor joining the Greens and Crossbenchers to support Independent Fatima Payman's motion. The Coalition opposed the move #auspol

For years, Australia has allowed imports of beef that's born, raised, and slaughtered fully within the USA. This change is allowing live cattle that's been imported to the USA from Central and South America to be labelled "product of USA". In other words, cattle have more rights than people.

Here are some reasons we still require masks: - It's possible to have and spread some illnesses without knowing you're sick - Some illnesses may cause other people to miss school or work, or even to end up in a hospital - At least one of those illnesses is headed for a spike in cases again
