Just imagine if Americans were as passionate about children not being slaughtered in schools by semi-automatic weapons as they are about a restaurant logo.

Not long ago versus quite a while ago.

Not a long time ago. Quite a long time ago.

Not long ago. Quite a long ago.

I hope everyone (incl. the Palestine Action Group organisers) will be surprised by the crowd numbers attending the #MarchForHumanity #SaveGaza March tomorrow. I hope the numbers attending will be so huge it terrifies Albo into real action. #auspol #SanctionIsrael #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

Fifteen years since my neurosurgeon said I would never play hockey again. He underestimated himself

My boys are in their 20s now. Wrote this just before Steve Jobs announced the iPhone. Turns out multiple screens are here but the dominant one is in the palm of their hand.

How Germany 1939 is America.

Can someone explain to me why the US didn't bomb North Korea, Israel, Pakistan or India when they were on the verge of developing nuclear weapons. Explain it to me like I'm six.

Anybody want to move to Melbourne with me? I think we have reached the On The Beach Stage.

Does Trump take his decorating tips from Iran or vice versa?

So Trump bailing early from G7 meant he felt the mood in the room and wanted to get out of there. Or things in the Middle East are about to get real scary.

Australian Story unquestionably is the best thing on TV. Week after week. Challenging, informative, inspirational. Well done again ABC.

When I moved to New York in 1978 the small island I lived on had a unique vacuum garbage system call the AVAC attached to every building. Just drop your trash down the shoot and it would be sucked up to a central repository, compacted and trucked away. It's now 2025!

A twitter account shares a Robert Trimbole reflection and suddenly my work from 40 years ago becomes relevant again

I often find those adept at comedy are the keenest and wisest obsevers. They remove the filters. They may play it straight, or they may not. George Carlin, Billy Connelly, Ricky Gervais. Wendy is up there.

My bookcase means a lot to me. Places I have been. Books I have read. Magazines I love. Pics that are my history. Lanyards from every event have attended. Hats I love. (Sorry, loved hats are skanky). Everyone should have a bookcase.

Read the book Sherpa. These are the most incredible selfless and heroic people. Most times fulfilling dreams of westerners with little concept of their culture. bhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/world/europe/mount-everest-xenon-sherpa-climate-change.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

Have to say this AI imaging stuff is both compelling and scary. It took about five seconds to generate this.

"Liberal values are very much Australia's values, and I don't think that Australia understands that anymore." – Liberal Party Senator Jane Hume Translation: The voters got it wrong. #auspol #AusVotes25

I'm sorry, what level of Frankenstein is this?

Incoming Marcella Hazan in 3... 2... 1...

Just a thought

It's been more than year since I jumped in my sim cockpit. Step away from a hobby for a bit and it reveals new treasures when you return! @iracing.bsky.social

Announcers begging Canadians not to boo the US national anthem at the US v Canada game. Yes. Things are that bad America. #FourNations #fournationscup

OMG! Somebody call the Chutney Police!

The most frightening non-fiction book I have ever read - by a country mile. Even more so when you consider who is currently in charge of the nuclear codes and how fast the whole thing will get out of control. Could a Trump brain fart unleash Armageddon? But this bit at the end a comfort of sorts.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

They moved the Doomsday Clock to 89 seconds to midnight today. The closest it has ever been to Armageddon. Figured I might as well start prepping.

Time to read up on my old stomping ground. Adrian left Truth a couple of years before I joined, but his name was legend.

Such a shame we have to elect politicians instead of scientists. Australia's new Chief Scientist Tony Haymet impressive beyond measure.

If you are vandalising statues of Cook, you might want to have a little rethink. Cook was an explorer engaged in voyages of scientific discovery and mapping the world. He wasn't a coloniser. If you really have a beef perhaps start with Gov Arthur Phillip.

Reading this. Stop for a minute and switch on the TV and the 1950s movie Scott of the Antarctic is playing! (Shackleton was a key member of Scott's first expedition to the Antarctic)

How can you beat a biography of one of the world's great explorers by one of the world's great explorers.

Hold the door open, smile at the passing stranger, pick up the wrapper blowing down the street, thank your bus driver, applaud the opposing player's success, check on your neighbour, ask a friend RUOK. Kindness breeds happiness.

This is so sad

So many people are asking, how on earth did America get here? For those of you who would like an answer I commend to you these two fine volumes from journalist and academic Nick Bryant. @nickbryantoz.bsky.social

Trump isn't pardoning prisoners, he is unleashing his foot soldiers.

Dear Prince Harry. DO. NOT. SETTLE.

The bishop at President Trump’s inaugural prayer service implored him to “have mercy” on gay, lesbian and transgender children, as well as undocumented immigrants. “I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” asked Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

With all these Nazis coming out of the woodwork, these are the heroes America needs right now

In case you missed it, American Nazis had no difficulty whatsoever understanding what Elon Musk was doing
