The gas crisis makes me really glad I live in NYC and not anywhere else in car dependent America. Hopefully everyone can learn from our example

My God.. a MAGA lunatic who is responsible for the lives of millions derangedly claimed he has the power to teleport and the most the NYT could say about it is "experts are dubious" We're cooked, fam

Bruce Springsteen says "I don't worry about" blowback for taking a political stand. "I've always had a feeling about the position we play culturally, and I’m still deeply committed to that idea of the band. The blowback is just part of it. I'm ready for all that."

Today I found out that in the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, in real life Lionel Jefferies, who played grandad, was younger than Dick Van Dyke, who played his son!

In three months, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by fast food and delivery companies -Cracked down on bad landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

BREAKING: Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie is open to a gas export tax! Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports could solve the gas crisis – and raise $17 billion a year at the same time. Read more on The Point: https://theaus.in/4rWPCcn

There is something uniquely perverse about a 5-time draft dodger sending American men and women to war.

Senator Chris Murphy, "The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war began" "We are now seeking to solve a problem that we created" "This is insanity"

Food is crazy expensive. Gas $4 dollars a gallon. Heating! Healthcare unaffordable for many. Does everyone in Trump/Epstein class fly in private planes? Has anyone been to an airport lately? Trump cant even run this country let alone Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, ( Greenland, Canada)

Florida NPR station WLRN is reporting that a non-profit group of never-trumpers are running ads in 27 newspapers across the state today promoting the upcoming "No Kings" rallies scheduled this Saturday, March 28. Be there or attend one near you if possible.

Chat, is this good?

“Workers are fighting to be able to afford the same food that they produce for the rest of the country, to be able to buy beef at the grocery store and not have to buy Top Ramen.”

The World Cup in the USA is going to be far more unsafe for visitors than the 1936 Olympics were.

I’m peer reviewing a draft transportation plan for a city I’m advising, which is always interesting. One of the most common problems I find is in phasing/timing relative to the urgency of the #ClimateEmergency. I’m reminded of Mississauga’s urban biking plan that would take 27 YEARS TO BUILD OUT.

Given the complete illegality of these arrests, how is this not considered kidnapping of Canadian citizens?

FUN FACT: Cases of mail voting fraud are extremely rare, accounting for only 0.000043% of total mail ballots cast, or about four cases out of every 10 million mail votes.

OK #auspol. Landed Brisbane 17:25 AEST Local time. It was a Navair’s Phenom 300 chartered flight. Departed BLN/YBLA to BNE/YBBN via drop-off to CBR/YSCB. Headed to, parked and turned off transponder at Brisbane Executive Terminal, NavAir is based. My educated observation of one passenger was 📸

OK. Landed at CBR 16:35. A few of the passenger(s) disembarked at the Canberra Aiport. The remaining stayed on board. The private airplane had a quick turnaround. At 16:45, it departed and is continuing its flight path northward. FR24 fr24.com/3eeb37a6 #auspol #planespotting

Plane spotters #Canberra. Is anyone at Canbera Airport, to spot who gets off this flight? ETA 16:30 AEDT. Defence Minister? Billionaire? Other? Supply a photo, and I'll fill you in, why I'm asking. (IATA: CBR, ICAO: YSCB) #PlaneSpotting #auspol #Australia

🚨BREAKING: In a major upset, Democrat Emily Gregory has flipped a Republican-held Florida state House district that includes Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.

Perhaps there is an exit option for #AUKUS, after all?

Actually, if #Canada chooses the Swedish #Saab #Gripen fighter over the #F35, they will build them themselves, meaning new, highly qualified, well paid jobs & a boon to the Canadian economy.

Gotta love the Canadians... Right now there is a big push for them to forego buying the US-Made F-35 fighter jets in favor of buying Swedish-built jets instead. The proposed designation for this new jet would be the FU-47.

McGovern: He’s doing nothing to make healthcare more accessible. They say we don’t have the money—but we have a billion dollars a day to blow on this crazy war. I don’t think he gives a shit about the American people. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and he’s golfing.

Reopening the Strait has emerged as the main objective of the war—an issue that was caused by the war.

A Snow Leopard caught on a trail cam.

Morally and ethically speaking countries should be withdrawing from the World Cup. This particular World Cup does not deserve to have moral, ethical nations competing in it. I wonder how many decent ethical nations there are?

Spain Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez: "Trump is someone who will set the world on fire and then blame smoke caused by that. He has been wrong for 18 days of war. I urge everyone to call him out"

Now THAT’S a message, not just for Paris voters, but for every city in the world. The city-building inspiration from the most inspiring city in the world will continue! Congratulations @egregoire.bsky.social! #Paris

If the Albanese Government had introduced a 25% gas export tax when it was first elected, it would have raised more than $63 billion! Free childcare or free uni shouldn't be a pipe dream. If big gas paid its fair share, Australians would be better off. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

BREAKING: Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez just landed out against Trump: "Not just Spain, entire Europe is against this illegal war in Iran. We won't join it no matter what"

And you Yanks are whinging. Do the maths. AU$1 = US$0.71 1 US GALL = 3.785 Litres AU = AU$2.99 - Litre US = US$4.99 - Gallon Yanks are paying US$4-5 bucks for a gallon of fuel. At Aussie petrol bowsers, that's the price of one litre. And that's in our cities. Try buying fuel in the outback.

FACT~ When Barnaby was the Deputy PM, instead of defending Australia's national interest, he and the other coalition leaders allowed multinational oil companies to dismantle the infrastructure that kept Australian homes, farms and factories supplied with fuel. www.google.com/url?q=https:...

I want a lifelong friend like Barbra Streisand, and the unconditional love she shared for Robert Redford. #Oscars youtu.be/JVFfNVrzxng?...

Barbra Streisand pays tribute to Robert Redford at the Oscars: ‘He blazed his own trail’ | Oscars 2026 https://www.newsbeep.com/au/543970/ Barbra Streisand has paid tribute to her friend and former co-star Robert Redford at the 98th Academy Awards…

“One in every four Flemings [residents of Flanders in Northern Belgium] cycled to work in 2024, which is twice as many as 20 years ago. Figures for Brussels too are astounding!” “Cycling infrastructure in Flanders has improved significantly over the past 20 years, that's where it starts.”

The King is supposed to be visiting the USA *next month*. This is the definition of a diplomatic nightmare. In all seriousness, I would urge him to pull a sickie.

Cut-price Costello Tim Wilson on Sky just now: "It’s very clear to me that when there’s an increase in petrol prices, Jim Chalmers collects more excise revenue." Excise is not based on price changes. It's indexed twice a year in line with inflation.

Is this the original? How did you arrive at Bluesky?
