“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned. Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.” William Congreve (1697). I bet Ms Bondi might identify with this sentiment at the moment.

Someone has been stealing my socks from the clothes-line. I was going to confront them but I got cold feet.

Old Mate has painted himself into a corner. No regime change in Iran as a result of military action. Either: he gives up and looks a complete buffoon, or thousands of marines on the ground to open the Hormuz “straight”. Small wonder no-one else wants to get involved.

Almost 1am here in eastern Australia, so anyone still awake/waking up, have a 2026 filled with happiness, peace and good health.

Having a break from the madness for a few days. Wishing everyone the merriest of Christmases, and may you and yours enjoy peace, good health and happiness in 2026.

For those of us of a certain age, today (Dec 8) marks 45 years since John Lennon’s murder.

Australian December.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend

This has probably been posted here already, but Cadet Bone Spurs being given a Guard of Honour by real soldiers must have been galling for them.

Wishing everyone a fabulous late-Summer/early-Spring weekend.

Am I the only one who wakes up thinking “what has he done now”?

Some of you might have noticed the letter sent by Combover Caligula to the government of Japan in regards to tariffs. For your entertainment I attach a similar letter sent to the penguins and seals of Heard and McDonald Islands.

Can anyone here confirm that, at the “Baldy meets Botox” gig in Venice, guests were allowed a timed 2-minute toilet break?

The Senegalese women’s basketball team has been refused visas to visit and train in the US. Anyone getting the impression that the Olympics will be “The Aryan Games”?

You know you’re getting old when you realise that 2025 is as far from 1970 as 1970 was from 1915.

Good luck and safety to everyone today.

I understand that Musk wants to make up with Combover Caligula, and wants to give him a one-way ticket to Mars as a peace offering.

Happy weekend to everyone here. Take care and enjoy yourselves.

This, apparently, is the master bedroom on Combover Caligula’s “palace in the sky”. “Understated elegance” doesn’t spring to mind.

I can’t remember who said it first, but, eighty years after the end of the Second World War, Russia and the US are again combining forces. However, this time it’s to bring Nazism back to Germany, if Vance has his way.

Combover Caligula will be upset because he can’t go golfing this weekend. No doubt he will try to make the Papal funeral all about himself. I remember the video of him at the re-opening of Notre Dame. He had a little nappy accident, which amused those around him.

Truly interesting times when judges who uphold the law are labelled “rogue”, but a President who ignores their rulings, and the Constitution, is called a “patriot”.

Latest announcement from the WH?

@artgirllife.bsky.social I noted from your bio that you love animals, so here is one of our quirkiest.

Good Friday evening here, so for those who observe Easter, have a peaceful and relaxing long weekend. Stay safe and well.

Heard and McDonald Island government official negotiating in the WH.

@maddow.msnbc.com Wishing you a most sublime birthday, despite current circumstances. Much peace and happiness to you always.

Goodnight all….sweet dreams

“Those two countries…” Grandpa Poopy Pants has no idea.

@bluthrunthru.bsky.social Hope you’re having/will have a fabulous Tuesday

Wishing everyone in the US a wonderful Sunday. Things are looking rather bleak there atm, but storms pass, rocks remain.
