They want you to be obsessed with immigration so you ignore all the other problems. But all the other problems ARE the problem. Don't be distracted and let them blind you with hate.

Hypocrisy

The most important thing you will watch this year

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Great question....

Anyone who has a dog will relate to this.....embarrassing when your toilet/bathroom has a sliding door and the dog slides it open when you have company!!

The Vic Police Commissioner talking on TV, answering questions about the Police shooting is so impressive.

Did some grocery shopping this arvo. It is just 23 August - OMG they have Christmas Fruit Mince Pies in store already!!

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

There was an old man named Trump Who’s popularity was down in the dump So he met President Putin Who said he’d just keep shooting’ And made Trump slump like a chump

I started feeding a few nearby magpies a couple of weeks ago. Now one or two are in my small front yard every morning waiting for me. This morning this one spotted me making the bed & appeared a little impatient about the wait time so came in for a closer look through the window. Message received!

Ok Australian people. I have a friend, fitter and younger than I, in ICU right now who might not recover. She’s an ICU nurse. She’s in a patient in her own ICU. It’s influenza A. GET VACCINATED.

Scott Morrison finally working out he was duped by the US, exploited, embarrassed. Of course China responded to our hostility. Of course the US dropped us like a hot turd and stepped into our markets. Everyone who elected the government of this fool should feel shame. #AusPol

Morrison’s grip on reality hasn’t improved. But his ability to lie and delude himself remains.

@ronnisalt.bsky.social will you allow me to DM you? I asked @xskinn.bsky.social to speak to you (ask a question) on my behalf however I feel he may have forgotten the request to approach you personally.

I need people to understand that leveraging gender to provide cover for a hate group donor is not feminist. It is anti-feminist.

A political retirement leads me to remind you: The true nature of politicians is seen when they have power. Our media/political system says that power is performative, but they're nice in private. The way they act with power is who they are, the rest is the pretending. I have always been right.

Don’t go to the US Don’t trade with the US Don’t defend the US Don’t support the US Don’t appease the US Don’t partner with the US Don’t invite the US Don’t accommodate the US Nazis, White Supremacists, Terrorists, Thugs. #ApartheidAmerica

We can make a difference be it ever so small.....

If you've missed The Sunday Shot - it is worth a listen to later. Great discussion with Josh Bornstein & Doug Cameron and Peter Cronau interview so enlightening.

Sunday Shot this week, we have lawyer of the moment @joshbornstein.bsky.social, Doug Cameron & I've interviewed @petercronau.bsky.social about the American war machine and what barbaric crap they're up to this time. 9am (or watch the Israel has a right to defend itself schtick on the ABC, your call)

Stick a fork in it, Jerry…

It takes historically 3.5 % of a population to push a tyrant out of power. Today the US reached 11 Million protesters for No Kings Day nationwide That’s 3.23 % We are almost there, America.

Once more for those up the back: no. A grand total of 80,000 Australians have super balances of $3m or above, 85% of whom are over 60. The hysteria around these tweaks is simultaneously illuminating and laughable.

Absolutely

Trump is losing in the courts. He's fighting publicly with Musk. His “big beautiful bill” has stalled. Trump is now left only with his vindictive rage. And of course his money-making schemes to line his pockets. He's likely to become even more unhinged — be warned.
