The graph below with its non-existent parties caused much mirth. But the analysis in the article has a number of faults including assertions about strong flows of Green preferences to One Nation at the SA election. antonygreen.com.au/the-financia...

Today's thought: Hug a loved one today, because you never know what tomorrow may bring.

This is so accurate from @vanbadham.bsky.social

I'll add to this post, if #VelodomyZelenskyy is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, #DonaldTrump would lose what's left of his tiny mind. 👍

Urgh, it's morning again

All this ranting by One Notion has made my teeth grind. The one thing that no one has seemingly pointed out to that mob is that there is somewhere around 90 thousand individuals who aren't Aussies yet are allowed to vote.

Misogyny goes unnoticed? Maybe by you, NPR, but certainly *not* by women.

I would like an alternate universe since this one seems to be some weird type of Hell. Tho a British Bishop postulated that this was Hell which probably explains a few things. A reality governed by whales might be nice?

“Please stop. I don’t want an AI summary of my Google search. I don’t want an AI summary of the text message from my friend at work. I don’t want an AI summary of the email I’m about to read. Please just stop.” 💯

A group of Australian citizens were kidnapped on international waters and beaten on camera by their captors - Israel Jillian Segal, the most prominent Israel advocate in Australia, has so far said *nothing* about the welfare of her fellow Australian citizens, nor condemned Israel's brutal actions .

As a teacher of English, I can definitively state that yes, this is exactly what happened. Particularly, the curse words. ◡̈

People need to stop whining about Elon Musk's mission to do a Mars fly-by. This is the advancement of science and exploration. In fact, it's so important that we should send our best people. Every billionaire should be sent on a Mars mission. Right now. You know, for the science.

On the hysteria of the week.

I am currently trolling the biggest nuisance on an open discussion group. I am being civil yet they post things which are distorted or omit certain facts. Up until now I have scrolled past , I decided today that it was becoming annoying so I decided to flame her, politely of course.

It is no fluke that social media platforms are addictive and causing harm. They were designed that way | Van Badham

Well, of course … 🙄

Son has a new Tesla..damn thing doesn't pick up roos. Garbage bins people etc but not roos. His better half ( and yes she is) is currently driving it. I just informed him that he is stalking her since the app tells him what speed she is doing etc.She informed him he is a perve & piss off.

I'm old enough to remember when Sky News and the Liberal Party used to criticise Twitter as a left wing echo chamber

There are three certainties in Australian political life. Death, taxes and scare campaigns about death taxes #auspol

@news.abc.net.au Finally, OUR ABC has woken up and is winding down on the Nazi platform and is now here on BlueSky. About bloody time ABC News.

As awful as this sounds there are days when I think the best thing that could happen is that a number of people in my generation should drop dead. The lack of empathy for anything beyond their own selfishness is disheartening.

“I did not find it hard to understand the emergence of Pauline Hanson from the rugby league stronghold of Ipswich. No one who lived through the Bjelke-Petersen era would be surprised at Hanson’s resonance in regional Australia, especially Queensland.” satpa.pe/a3j09N0

I think this maybe the most niché bit of trivia I’ve ever heard.

Well we all knew it wasn't going to get built

So if this what NZ's Ministry of Foreign Affairs does to it's citizens will Australia's do the same thing? I really believe that DFAT also would just ignore an Aussie citizen in the same situation.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mums, Grandmas, Nannas, Nonnas, YiaYias, Lolas, Stepmums, fur baby Mums, Dads who are both Mum & Dad, every type of Mum Have a wonderful day all. Thank you for all you do ❤️ 🐝

Best part of the morning, reading the world wish Sir David Attenborough Happy Birthday.

Emus, maggies, plovers, bush turkeys honestly they would all win if they really want to get rid of us.

Happy Birthday to a man who I admire. Sir David Frederick Attenborough #HapyBirthday100years

Really One Notion thought that would be a decent pay?

I have decided to take up knitting again

It may be helpful to remember that even if you do something really great and society someday erects a statue for your glory, it will spend its entire existence being pooped on by pigeons

Not to be confused with (Inter?)National Drinking with Chickens Day, which is 23 May. www.daysoftheyear.com/days/nationa...

Oh and never ever criticise our local members at either a State or Federal level, they have a tendency to get more whinny. They just keep reading the gas company script back at you.

So David Pockock is coming to Gladstone and one of our local members is having a whinge. Bryson Head is as useless as the member for Flynn.

What a pleasure to see some countries leverage science to push for eliminating a type of cancer!!! www.bbc.com/news/article...

BREAKING: 5th Circuit Court of Appeals is requiring that mifepristone be distributed only in person at clinics—citing safety. Since 2000 Mifepristone has allegedly caused the death of 28 women—Viagra has a 10X higher mortality rate. GOP was never pro life—they’ve always been pro control of women.

I spent yesterday playing ESO in the Night Market. My repair bill was horrendous. Then again I kept renaming the bosses in there. I decided the Hordemother was a certain Slovenian and that the Hag we took down was a press secretary. Then there was the Flesh Abomination. #ElderScrollsOnline

There is a difference between state constitutions and our Federal one. My ability to remain rational where sovereign citizens are concerned is becoming extremely low. I want to send every damn one of them to a class which they are required to pass so they learn what they want to ignore.

Some mornings you wonder how people get out of bed and actually manage to dress themselves. My tolerance for idiots who know less than nothing about how the Australian Constitution and our nation was formed is getting to the point of me wanting to bang several well written books over their heads.

Government documents show the Australian government is negotiating to hand access to every Australian travellers’ biometric data to the United States. And it’s worse than we thought. (No paywall) www.crikey.com.au/2026/04/27/d...
