How the Coalition's call for a RC has nothing to do with Bondi but everything to do with pushing the Israeli line.

Hard to believe that one of Albanese's mentors was Tom Uren.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States. 🇺🇸💙🏴‍☠️

He's not going to be able to duck the questions when he's in the witness dock, after one of these gung ho rednecked criminal mercenaries has shot someone because they didn't like the look of them

In the U.S., one study showed that there had been 25 EV fires per 100k sold, versus >1,500 per 100k gas cars. In Australia, gas cars caught fire up to 100 times more often than EVs. Sweden's stats were closer to a 20-fold difference.  www.thecooldown.com/green-tech/e...

Why TF is GREENPEACE using bloody AI for?

It was "Fiddler" wot did it.

funny that "the Base" is also a direct translation of "al Qaeda"

No wonder he went bankrupt so often.

Wayne Swan retweets a fairly apt critique of those who jeered our courageous Prime Minister

Had to do an age verification for Bluesky last night. I passed.

The great historian, @willdalrymple.bsky.social on Palestine:

As a Jew, I find it bizarre that people are forcing a 'Palestine' narrative onto the Bondi Beach shooting. The shooter openly claimed inspiration from ISIS; an organization that actually despises Palestinian nationalism in favor of their own global caliphate.

The insanity at the shops was somewhat moderated by the air con.

Learned today that “Galápagos” comes from a Spanish word for tortoise, meaning that “Galápagos Tortoise” is, in fact, a tortology

The proof is *not* in the pudding,

SHIT - you can lose it, know it, stir it, cut it, shovel it, shoot it, be in it, have it for brains, get it together, not give it, be full of it. Because it happens

Just watched a short doco on Trump's uncle John. Although he was at MIT, he was a far more impressive man than Trump's fantasy.

Well, yesterday was a day. Doctor, ED for more than five hours and finally hit by pizza delivery guy when driving home.

90 minutes in ED waiting for an IV.

It's a real pity the US doesn't have a system which would force Trump and his merry band to sit in Reps.

Lorikeets and noisy miners arguing over tree next door. Quite a racket.

Just back from the Northern Beaches. My God, Pittwater Road is dire, but they must like it that way considering how they object to any real public transport infrastructure.

Was in Kmart the other day and was pleased to realise that while CDs and DVDs had come and gone from the shelves, books endure. Not that I have anything against CDs and DVDs, I get physical media when possible, but there has never been a mass-market alternative to books. Ideal form + function.

Convoy is a very silly movie.

Even for Trump, this is so out of line. Trump writes to Israeli president calling for Netanyahu pardon www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Went for a wander by the beach and amazed by how many people don't do the sun safe thing. Sunscreen doesn't make you impervious to the sun.

My favourite war memorial.

Of course it's jobs for the mates. Both sides do it, but it doesn't make it right. We spend tens of thousands training diplomats but send ex-politicians who are at a loose end. If they have a buring desire to join the diplomatic corps, send them to a challenging post like Nepal.

OFFS can we not do this. Analysis paralysis. If IA existed in the early 20th century we'd still have vehicular ferries across the Harbour and a tram shed on Bennelong Point. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Why does @cnn.com perservere with Scott Jennings? Every time he leaves a room the average IQ goes up.

Officialy old. My doctor is 30 years younger than me.

Late to the party, but have started watching The Crown. A good show but everyone (with the possible exception of the Queen and Magaret) is ghastly. Even the old Nazi King Edward does fare to badly by comparison.

Every year, like clockwork, November lillies start blooming on November 1.
