Greed and cowardice seem to be the only necessary attributes for many professions these days.

A HOA run by a garden-variety Karen would have stopped this ballroom nonsense

If we want to avoid the same chaos as the US, now is the time we need to be fighting to shore up what we have fought for: equality, Medicare, the right to protest, LGBTQI+ rights #AusPol

Let's not humour those advocating deportation of UK residents with reasons why their plans would not work. Keep it simple, this is not the action of a civilised country. If needed, this will mean complete chaos and destruction of international reputation.

Here's me. '“People aren’t buying their shit anymore”: They think they can make you forget what you’ve seen'

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Jeremy Rockliff: “Tasmanians would understand that we simply cannot afford the union’s claim,” he said. We can't afford a pay rise for teachers, but we can afford a 1bn staduim?

I don't want AI to assist with my internet search. If I come up with an idea, I want to be able to search to see whether it's original. With the current models, anything I put into a search engine immediately enters the the AI maelstrom and becomes available to anyone searching something similar.

I wonder how #Kia feel about being associated with disappearing people?

The government shutdown is especially tough on men, who are losing $1.00 for every 75¢ a woman loses.

(Prince) Andrew needs to be fully investigated by the Metropolitan Police. Repost if you agree.

Hi Sussssan Ley 😂

I watch University Challenge to remind myself I'm not nearly as clever as I think I am 🙂

The destruction of the East Wing facade and the Rose Garden is an apt metaphor for the entire administration. They claim to value the past, yet they destroy it.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a ladder is for all the good guys to have ladders too

Talia Levin @swordsjew.bsky.social popped up in my feed - now listening to Wild Faith. Recommended for anyone interested in the rise of the Christian Right.

I've supported my (now retired) house-husband for 20 years. He worked on renovations and child care. I work in an office. We are still equal partners in the relationship.

Warren Zevon is finally getting recognized at the RRHoF! They'll be honoring him this year with a Musical Influence award. This is excellent news!

“Australia’s strength lies in its people’s willingness to speak up, not in the state’s power to silence them. The spread of anti-protest laws in Australia signals a democracy in decline, where truth is less welcome than conformity.” socialjusticeaustralia.com.au/anti-protest...

If Qatar can have an airforce base in Idaho, can Australia have a reciprocal super-secret intelligence base in California? #AusPol

Hit-and-run driver Jake Danby's case sparks outrage in NT communities as victim's family calls for jail time - ABC News share.google/JtRyIRNSRyam.... #News Australia. When will our Independent brothers and sisters be treated as equals within our legal system as both victims and criminals

On this day in 2012 (9th October) Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard delivered her blistering speech on sexism and misogyny, demanding a better standard from ALL men & especially those in leadership roles. THIS STILL APPLIES TODAY!!

"Whether it's holding people in a mothership on the English Channel and then putting them in unsinkable life rafts with just enough fuel to get back to France in the middle of the night, as we did in Java," Tony Abbott declared. #auspol www.9news.com.au/world/tony-a...

It seems as though politicians around the world have forgotten they are elected by us, given authority to collect taxes from us, in order to provide service to us. They need to be reminded.

In March 2025, the median Australian taxpayer earned $55,619 per year.

Sick and tired of people wanting to defend “western civilisation” especially when they are also attacking arts and humanities in the universities.

RT if you will keep using Wikipedia and not Elon Musk's AI crap.

Listening to the podcast Fall of Civilisations. I really want one about the Rise of Civilisations - so we know what to guard against next time around.

Isn't this what a 'well regulated militia' is supposed to protect against?

Yor regular reminder that - on behalf of all Australians - the Albanese government, and in particularly Defence Minister Richard Marles, is cultivating a special relationship with Pete 'Strangelove' Hegseth, and this fascist regime. Tell us again about those "shared values", @albomp.bsky.social ?

A mere 2500-word ABC puff piece on rightwing extremist Andrew Hastie. The sort of balanced, professional reporting that has helped turn America into the democratic powerhouse of moderation and reasonableness we know today.

Yet another scare story about driving restrictions for older people in Australia is doing the rounds.
