The latest buzzterm for slicing and dicing at the ABC is 'goat trails' as in, we need to reduce the numbers of goat trails (and presumably all walk in lockstep/goosestep on one shining path). I observed tht goats are feral pests usually shot by helicopters, so there's that. #ABC #fuckproductivity

Australia Post suspending all commercial postage to the US. Extraordinary times. I mean, you can still send items of zero commercial value (a letter?) ... but... wow.

I wish he was a national joke. But he's a national (alleged) rapist - well, at least two states. Or is it three. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I couldn't help noticing Luke Kemp in "Goliath's curse" writes of the 'dark triad' qualities ... narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy. My research looked at the qualities of people who step up to rescue ruined landscapes and wildlife and their qualities were: humility, attunement and courage.

Out of interest, what would Americans do if its government declared only one vote per household? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...?

In 2023-24 Australia collected more than four times more from HECS repayments than the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. “In Australia, we subsidize the fossil fuel industry, and we charge our kids a fortune to go to uni.” - Richard Denniss, Executive Director @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Let's be clear: MAGA world does not actually care about pedophiles. If MAGA officials cared, they'd be making a sustained effort to gather the expertise to pursue it. They're not. It's just another distraction. In 37 states underage marriage is legal. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Trump and his bestie.

Just because it's kink, doesn't mean it's safe. Also, in het sexuality mostly it's just blokes being cnts. So to speak. Well worth a read. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

So the party changes its all-the-way-through spots. Just bleaches its racism like it would it's arsehole? That's bizarre to me. I mean, racism is what the party stands for. It's what it shits on the daily. Without racism, what is the #LNP? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Stolen Joke from Kenny Everett (yes I'm old): Kingdoms have aKing, Empires have an Emperor, USA is a Country, so you have ...a Trump. Childish but then so is the orange toddler.

OMG you have to laugh. How thick are these people? But meanwhile, democrat senators are now being killed? Murica, you've jumped the shark and lost the fucking plot.

USA has completely jumped the shark. Political killings now? www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

That footage of him in sweatshirt and jeans meeting tRump on the tarmac back during the California fires... and him shaking tRump's hand and not letting go. And then speaking prettttty directly (with finger pointing) had 'Presidential' written all over it. (And Melania kissed him after, lol)

Honestly, what are we thinking? It's time to start grieving....

LAPD doing what they do best.

Couple of outcomes from the 'naked' raku glaze firing I did with a group from Central Coast Potters last weekend. The smokey, high-intensity process is reflected in the three dimensional smoke-imprinted mystery held in the surface of the pot. An intoxicating medium. muddyochreceramics.bigcartel.com

"Watt’s decision to give the long-awaited environmental approval for the North West Shelf project to be extended to 2070 was a bad decision — a craven, cowardly capitulation to corporate power and political expediency" - @beneltham.bsky.social www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/29/m...

Our weather gets more and more extreme. Our government tinkers round the edges then drops bombs. So disappointing, Albo, just so pathetic.

Things you do for elderly gentlemen. He is 17.5. It has barely stopped raining in weeks. He doesn't want to pee outside, I do not want him to pee on my bedroom floor so we play 'guess when the cat needs to go to the toilet?'. #gingercats #catsofbsky

Israel’s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich: “Now we conquer, cleanse and stay – until Hamas is destroyed. Along the way, what remains of the strip is also being wiped out." This is now Israel. Surely only the diaspora can stop this. Please, tell your representatives: Stop Now. Never Again.

What now for Emmanuel Macron, post defending Depardieu, now found guilty of sexual assault and on the sex offenders list? What a disgrace, putting your powerful buddies ahead of the women of France.

Dilemma: I have a fb friend (not close), a former colleague. I am v selective on fb. She as been sharing AI generated content that she thinks is lovely. First was a fake wave (water action in slow mo, if you had more than half a brain you'd twig it was AI).

No Sussan, it's the Liberal Party that is the greatest threat to Australian social cohesion. Now, just go away and think about it, all of you, and don't come back til you've sorted out your cognitive dissonance.

This is an extraordinary scene, incredibly distressing. What the actual FUCK America. I don't know who this is, but please, say her name.

So disappointed in this. That man gives major ICK vibes. theshovel.com.au/2025/05/07/t...?

Look, I'm so happy that Dutton is gone and it's a Labor win rather than the LNP. But, to see Labor win such a majority and people turn their backs on the Greens and others pushing for *genuine* progress for social and environmental justice makes me very sad. Labor are neoliberal light. #AusVotes25

No more fugly Donald Dutton and his fugly wedge politics, his fugly culture wars and his fugly 'noocleah' fission fantasies. Deeeep sigh. Thank fck. (Language shouts my mother from 100km away, must you?). But - even better - clearly Sky news and Murdoch are also fucked right up. Cheers!

Laura Tingle asks “who’s going to be going back into culture wars after this election result?” “Not just in politics, Newscorp was in it up to their armpits.”🔥💯 #AusVotes25

Dutton can now sit and ponder how a No vote really feels. #ausvotes2025 #auspol

If it marks the end of News being a major, toxic influence in our politics, then I think there’s real if cautious hope for a return of 2010 Albo policies to 2025 Albo.

Landslide to Labor. Dutton loses seat. Libs at record low vote with no seats in most major cities…what a night for people ambitious for climate policy No more need to even ask what the libs will do or what NewsCorp will say Time to get on with genuine reform. Libs can catch up or fade further

Let's just rest a moment on the fact that the LNP are actually two parties. Consider their proportion of the vote now.... But also, let's remember that Labor gave its preferences to the Libs. They hate green values that much. Conclusion: it's complicated.

Let's remember the LNP are two parties combined. Independently Libs and Nats won exactly bugger all. #ausvotes

Hopefully nooclea will die with dutton. (What on earth is he on about?!)

Hat trick ⛪🧅🥔 Who's laughing now🤣 #BinNight

Love my kid. We are watching in two different seats... Talking politics on Discord.

Pretty sure the lib twit Mcgrath is being utterly misleading claiming the 'teals' had more money than the LNP and that was unfair. Beg pardon? The people of Australia who got behind @climate200.bsky.social had more money than Gina? Bull bloody shit. Sorry. That's just bullshit. #Ausvotes

Looks like hate doesn't pay, it really really doesn't.

The Federal Opposition will axe nearly all of the major programs and policies the Smart Energy Council has brought to bear: $2.3 billion Home Batteries Program. New Vehicle Efficiency Standards. $26 billion Future Made in Australia Program. $19 billion Rewiring the Nation Program.
