@swiftonsecurity.com I am no fan of burning people. I am more a defenestration person myself.

This scares me and should scare you too: Kodachrome by Paul Simon was released in 1973. How many people today know about the film brand and how revolutionary it was when created in the 1930's until digital photos took over in the 2000's. Or even what Kodak was. youtu.be/8rlDTK6QI-w?...

Hey @gailsimone.bsky.social did you see Tom Taylor is getting William Shatner to do propaganda for him. But instead of using his powers for good (attacking Gail Bears) he got Shatner talking about deep frying turkeys. , which is not an Aussie thing to do. youtu.be/XVixbf-bubs?...

I guess I have downloaded the perfect art piece ever created numerous times, but when you have to share it in a social media post, instant gratification rather than scrolling archives is always better.

Has anyone asked Australia's best retail politician, Barnaby Joyce, what he thought about Pauline's repeated burkha stunt?

@lyndacarter.bsky.social I was today years old when I discovered that you have one degree separation from Roxy Music via Alan Spenner (played bass on my favourite RM song Same Old Scene) Is there any musician that you loved playing with in your music career?

A spill used to be a thing of beauty to behold. I slept through this one. It was on but no one cares. Fuck you Liberal Party!

Picked up a new tablet from Optus. Did not realise it was made by ZTE so it looks like the CCP will see my hot BSky takes and porn consumption.

I can't see how Homophobia can be a thing. Because Freddy Mercury. That one man, who oozes manly manliness, clearly invalidates everything anyone hates about homosexuality.

The one thing that the US Stock Exchange illustrates is that the people who value stocks and futures are fucking idiots. And they will drag the average person down through their pension funds being allocated based on ignoring truth and worshiping greed.

To be fair, giving the government a share of stock in companies could be a way to improve corporate tax collection. The focus of companies to maximise returns to shareholders will mean less money being diverted in revenue minimisation and outright tax avoidance.

The best news about the Steam Machine that excites me the most? It has a Larson Lens at the front!

There are a lot of problems with LPG exports, but the biggest problem is the demand overseas for LPG. Not just Asia, but Europe is addicted to it. You can't go cold turkey with energy production. But Australia really needs a sane royalty on gas extraction. And not price all LPG via world markets

I hope what is happening at Meta is a wake up call to Alphabet: Valve was able to do real innovation with VR without pouring a bucket of money into a pit. Also I am excited about the ARM translation in Proton as it will flow into WINE and be usable for Linux and Unix based systems.

I don't think the Australian Government contractors should use AI beyond number and data manipulation. If they have to use AI they should use ChatNLP, an artificial stupid LLM trained from data collated from Liberal and National party members. Why choose the lesser stupid?

Ok, just saw a thumbnail that claimed Sydney Sweeney has lost the culture war. Given that she is conservative but pro women actors like Brie Larson have also had a bucket of shit poured on them, is the message to women is if you are good looking in the public eye, just shut up and don't opine?

Seeing posts about the appalling lapse in judgement to allow the Nazi protest in Sydney by the NSW Police. Among the usual criticisms, I note that in comparison to many other police forces around the world (NSW police is one of the largest worldwide) it is one of the better police forces. Ironic.

I can't believe @gailsimone.bsky.social follows that fine thirst trap creator @nicolascottart.bsky.social . Also, how can she follow @lyndacarter.bsky.social and @amandadeibert.bsky.social . And don't get me started about her following @catstaggs.bsky.social ....

When you have to preface any discussion of a federal court order with which president appointed them? That's a problem.

It takes a fair amount of effort for federal politics to influence the state elections this comprehensively. Well done Trump and GOP.

If the US is serious about this whole democratic elections thing, they need to create a US version of the AEC, non partisan, federal election commission that manages voter registration, electorate management and voting management Most kike the idea will cause a civil war and collapse, but still ..

I do hope after the Trump presidency the US discovers the idea of 1 person = 1 vote, or at least comes to the realisation that nuclear grade gerrymandering is not a viable way to conduct elections. But I doubt they will, as they haven't done it so far in federal elections.

In a famous speech during the dark days of WW2, John Curtin spoke to the Australian public of full mobilisation of the civilian and military to fight the Pacific War. He was brutally direct in immediately going full war economy moths faster than the USA with little consultation. 1/-

Why don't they now name Hurricanes after our God Emperor? It's not like the weather forces are staffed and funded to monitor storms.

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social while I know you like having @justinwolfers.bsky.social on your YouTube show, but after listening to Peter Martin's Aunty ABC podcast, you need to include more outdoor sports with biffo in your discussions. Even if he forgets the great Rugby League, talking cricket and AFL

Listening to ABC (Australia) podcast Economy stupid, hosted by the great Peter Martin with guest @justinwolfers.bsky.social. It was different from what the USA does with the same format. But I agree with the other guest Nikki Hurley, Justin needs to flee the US. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

How come James Gunn does an interview with Eric Voss, Ryan Avery and @heatherantos.bsky.social but James does not spend the whole interview gushing about how good Heather is? youtu.be/hXOKOQr0oWQ?...

This should be the Anthem for Australia. A couple living in dystopian Brittain debating heading south for a better life. music.youtube.com/watch?v=rIbM...

This song should be made the anthem of Australia. A touching story of a cashed up boy cruising NY city for sex workers. music.youtube.com/watch?v=DXee...

Was there anyway possible for Albo to come out of a meeting with the Tandoori Traitor and not have a large segment of the Australian public pissed off ?

Given that Pauline Hanson has been a stain on my soul for most of my life, I was shocked to hear that she is 72. I was more shocked that she sees Barnaby "Keg a day keeps the voters away" Joyce is seen as a natural successor for her, as he has to be older than Pauline! Post Google: he's 58?

For #nokingsday, I am no fan of my king Charles III, King of Australia. But I am a fan of the monarchy as having a disinterested foreigner with a mixed heritage is far better than an elected Head of State who thinks they have the dreaded "mandate"

The problem with @gailsimone.bsky.social posting on the Horrid Website owned by the Horrid Owner? Well apart from forcing me to keep my account there? The Horrid Website followed up some glorious @nicolascottart.bsky.social art with a follow recommendation Clive F$&@#ing Palmer!

NIN Closer should be the Australian National Anthem. I will die on this hill.

Here in my car I feel safest of all I can lock all my doors It's the only way to live in cars

People who say they loved Hitler clearly do not realise that beyond the war crimes, genocide and political conspiracy, he was rather shit as a national leader? He did have one advantage over Trump, some of his loyalists were not as shit as Trump loyalists when he put them into positions of power

So you can get constitutional rights revoked for posting about Charlie Kirk's death in a manner not approved by the powers that be, but why can't they do the same about how they killed off James T Kirk in such a horrible manner? People care about James T Kirk!

Irony is dead: "No Kings" marches in Melbourne, which is when I last checked a constitutional monarchy ruled by King Charles III. Americanisation running amok

FYI, other nations militaries have permanent installations on US soil. Many of them are NATO allies. The Qataris are not doing anything new, having training facilities near USAF bases makes training easier.

The first line of Mr Roboto is actually pure poetry when translated into its original Klingon. choquvmoH qoq DaHojwI'

Domo arigato Mr Roboto? Baka! It would be Roboto-san! And don't get me started in how to pronounce modern!

Please stop comparing Trump to Hitler! Adolf at least knew how to dress and knew how to keep people engaged when giving a long incoherent speech. Donald can barely keep a coherant sentence , and people listening to him who are not drinking the Kool-Aid tend to start considering their life choices

The problem with following US politics is that the Americans have created an environment where the term "can they get any more stupid" can not be used as they discover daily deeper levels of political and social stupidity and are revelling in it.
