It says a lot about the sheer insanity of Trump's USA that Marjorie Taylor Greene is the voice of sanity and decency in the Republican Party.

I am reminded once again that the USA is trapped in a farce beyond the most fevered imagination of satirists.

Crazy. It's almost like privatising critical services was a bad idea!

I think it's time to retire the phrase "Don't get mad, get even" and replace it with "Get mad, get even." Let's face it, with everything happening in the world it's impossible not to get mad, so you might as well get even when you can!

I just read a story about a political power couple getting pregnant, and the wife said it would be a "vegan pregnancy." What on earth does that mean? A soy placenta?

Hey, @rbreich.bsky.social, here's another massive blow to a right-wing political party that wanted to follow Trump, this time in Australia. It was such an electoral bollocking that the leader of the Australian conservative party (confusing called the Liberals) lost his own seat!

Honestly, no outside enemy could possibly do more damage to the USA than this turkey.

I struggle with the news these days. It runs like this: "War in Ukraine/Gaza/literally anywhere" "Australian right-wing politician makes inflammatory statement unchallenged by media" "Billionaire does something terrible" "Donald Trump makes everything in the world worse" "And finally, puppies!"

I'd already nearly given up on Facebook, but this tips it over the edge. It's long since stopped being about people, and is now moving from a bot-driven meme and ad replicator to a right-wing troll farm. Now all I need is some way to transfer all those FB contacts to another messenger service...

It would appear that Australia's conservatives are still firmly in the pocket of the fossil fuel magnates. Y'know, in case that was in any doubt.
