Husb is a big rugby fan and has been loving the womens RWC. He is watching #CanvsNZ and telling me his fave Canadian player is wearing face glitter, a big red bow and different coloured boots. I said that's very Taylor Swift coded. What I have not told this man from New Zealand is that Canada wins

Trump supporters see him as a mirror. They see a successful, powerful man. They have no morals or empathy or even sympathy, just hate for the "other" amongst us. It's a shocking failure of US society

Charlie Kirk being shot dead cheers me up. Why? Am I crazy?

The truth is out about Australia’s military exports to Israel and ongoing Labor lies. Defence Minister Marles said exports were all “dual use” for civil or military purposes. Turns out 90% are “inherently lethal” or only for military purposes. He has never apologised.

Playing our regular evening games of chess last night my husband told me how much he enjoyed watching Outlander and said I reminded him of Claire and I don't think I have received a higher compliment in my life

Australia already has a Race Discrimination Commissioner. He’s been cut out. Why? This is his job. He has a plan to end racism. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

🚨The Lebanese Muslim Association has called for Jillian Segal to resign - or the government sack her - following The Klaxon's expose. To “pretend” the $50,000 to Advance “has no bearing on her role” was “insulting”. Her "husband" excuse an "evasion"... theklaxon.com.au/zj3p

🚨Antisemitism boss Jillian Segal and her husband are the second biggest funders of far-right group "Advance". The extremist lobby group spreads online racism and xenophobia, including directly targeting Palestinians... theklaxon.com.au/hrgd

I think we need to stop obsessing over the mushroom murders and turn our attention to the NT coroner’s inquest report into the police shooting and death of Kumanjayi Walker by policeman Zach Rolfe

My nephew, his fiance and a girl friend were out in a pub recently. He was drinking wine, the girls beers. He ended up in hospital with a suspected roofie. Someone had drugged his wine thinking it was one of the girls. Men are unsafe

This is a great thread from someone who knows economics. This tweet below so reminds me of "the emperor has no clothes"

My chess game is improving. Won 3 games to 1 last night against the husb. Super proud of this ruthless take down. Those bishops! That mighty pawn! Queen never moved whole game 😎

We played Scattegories last night. The lead letter was W and for "things at a high altitude" I wrote Wankers. When it came to scoring there were objections from everyone until I said "Katy Perry". I was allowed the point 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tesla sales down 60% in Australia while EV sales are up. Aussie Aussie Aussie 😎

A fitting Monty Python addition to a Clive Palmer billboard.

Mr 21 just came roaring home, music blaring, could hear it from inside the house. I ask was that Howl's Moving Castle? No, Waltz 2 Shostakovich. He is now trying to play it on our piano

Labor yet again trying to excuse their shitty policies for disabled people by saying the LNP would be worse. People are allowed to want better from you @jimchalmers.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Civil society is being attacked all over the world but in the U.S. it’s all out war! @greenpeace northdakotamonitor.com/2025/03/19/j...

The Liberals are a criminal network working in plain sight. Jacinta Price who may be in charge of 'wasteful government spending' is now under investigation for 14th potential misuse of expenses. #auspol #abcnews #SundayShot #insiders

Oh dear - this is not a good look for Dutton's Shadow Government Efficiency Minister #auspol

Jacinta Price has had to repay expenses she improperly claimed from the taxpayer 13 TIMES!!! And she is under investigation for a 14th breach! And Dutton has appointed her in charge of reducing govt waste! The incompetent corrupt Coalition is just trolling Australian voters now. #auspol #AusVotes25

The old US of A is in a bit of strife hey 😬

The juxtaposition of these posts on my page is so indicative of the state of the world in a very FAFO way

I love Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Our accountant's name is Paul. I just got a call from the tax office saying our tax is late and I said "I better call Paul" (which is literally what we call him) and then I couldn't speak for cackling 😂

This article describes the Musk/Trump coup using language usually used for 3rd world countries and the accuracy is terrifying... www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Peter Dutton referred to Human Rights Commission over '25 incidents' of alleged discrimination — as it happened www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

How can anyone in their right mind ignore this letter from Caroline Kennedy about her cousin, RFK Jr.?

What we never have in this country is a progressive panelist. Never. Conservatives are put forward every single time. What does GD bring other than be a voice for the LNP? Progressive policies deserve to be interrogated yet our oligarch lords prevent this

@emergencybk.bsky.social What lighting do you recommend in power outages? As in candles or lanterns. We had an outage the other night and our tealight candles were not cutting it

We’re one of the world’s largest gas exporters. That we have to import gas is irrefutable evidence the Lib/Lab duopoly are totally capture by the gas cartel and are putting other countries’ interests first. #GasReservationPolicy #AustraliaFirst #auspol

And this is why we are leaving X. Note that this is an Ad!

My poor little DIL to be fell down our stairs this morning for the 2nd time. She was on her way to work but was so banged up she had to take the day off. Poor little chicken 😔

Greatest own goals in history: US banning TikTok bc it fears Chinese interference so all 150M US users move over to Red Note the Chinese equivalent which becomes the most downloaded app this week, and they start learning Mandarin

I just posted the same thing on X (2200 followers) and here (700). Way more engagement on Blue Sky than the old place. Almost like non subscribers get pushed down the algorithm

I just got polled by a market research company aski g preferred PM bla bla. Also Do you support prioritising local jobs & manufacuring over the rapid transition to renewables? (They are the same thing) Do you support protecting local marine life over offshore windfarms? (They are the same thing)

Husb and I play chess of an evening after warming up with some backgammon. Once he has made his move he likes to chatter away while I ponder my next move. It's so distracting I have had to make a sign to tap

Each of these countries is rich in natural resources that are wanted by one of the super powers. That's not a coincidence.

97% of sexual assaults are by men. Men, sort yourself out www.abs.gov.au/media-centre...

My son just texted that he went to see a Tuna Turner musical/tribute last night and that typo has to be the funniest thing I have ever seen 😂

We asked everyone to only do practical gifts this year and lordy what a success. Spoons, forks, glasses (nice ones!), slides, undies, sheets and doonas. Perfect!

I worked out that Israel has killed the equivalent number of every school child in my local government area. Which means all our schools would be empty

Does anyone else arm themselves with a pillow when they hear a mosquito buzzing around at night wait till the buzzing is loudest then wack themselves in the head?

I'm 60 today! Good lord, how did that happen 🤣

Hate to report that we reenacted the Ding blunder against Gukesh last night and I am still not sure what happened in that final game. Where are my BlueSky chess friends?

1st world problem, inheritance. My mum died in May. In December we are still trying to obtain probate to settle her estate. Meanwhile the nursing home has her $400,000 earning interest for them. They did not tell us what we would need to get probate when she moved in. Oversight? Or deliberate

I read 'I Can Jump Puddles' at school. Vaccinations are incredible.

So I pop over the bad place occasionally and it now seems completely dominated by blue ticks. Almost every post or comment has the Musk tick. To me this suggests ordinary users are leaving in droves. What do you guys think,

Labor: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Help To Buy bill has been passed which will help 0.3% of renters so I rang the NSW Housing minister as each state needs to have supporting legislation. The guy I spoke to had no idea what I was talking about and said he had never heard of RTB. A Labor staffer in the NSW Housing portfolio
