So I guess I’m a poet now? Political Haiku incoming. Please don’t give me shit about it being on Amazon. Birthing a book into the world is hard and sometimes choices are limited. www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0GXMT3NJ...

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

“I will use every avenue at my disposal to flip all of your seats like Jesus flipped the tables at the temple. That is a promise, not a threat.” 🔥 ~ Lindsay Garcia, Louisiana Congressional Candidate Louisiana, pay attention. #SheShed

Evangelicals think theocracy is democracy Billionaires think plutocracy is democracy Magas think kakistrocracy is democracy Trump thinks kleptocracy is democracy GOP thinks fascism is democracy Democrats think elections are democracy ALL ARE WRONG & we are the victims of their ignorance

Markets at near record highs Consumer sentiment at record lows No one discussing how divorced from reality reporting of finance and capitalism is.

Victorians tell Pauline Hanson to go back to where she came from. #springst

The markets rise and fall on the word of a self serving pathological liar. That alone should have you questioning the validity of a capitalist focused societal structure.

Dog imitating Penguins 🤣

If anyone would like to see a photo of a cat that wishes it was a red panda, this is your lucky day. #Caturday

Does anyone know what this was heading west over Melbourne? Looked like a comet. I took these off the Westgate Bridge

Did you know that the shareholders of the Healthcare Entity that the CEO that Luigi killed practically mutinied when that entity started honoring claims after said CEO's death? Because it would cut into their dividends?

I Completely Support This Petition….

Interesting. My Grandaughters Primary School has a Coffee van that comes once a week. They have a jar for parents to donate money to buy teachers a coffee.

"Asked by Axios last week at an energy conference in Houston about how natural gas jives with the company’s clean energy goals and overall strategy, Google’s head of advanced energy, Michael Terrell, said: “We don’t have anything to say on that.”" www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A few more photos of Adelaide's grey-headed flying-foxes for International Bat Appreciation Day (17 April). The last photo shows one drinking water off its chest after dipping into the river.

I’ve asked this question before, & I intend to keep asking: When will Donald Trump be prosecuted for the staged assassination which led to the death of two people?

Straight up milking the market

Content warning. This is John Abendshien, 79. He previously owned the Winnetka house where “Home Alone” was filmed. He was just arrested & charged this week and charged on 7 counts of CSAM of children aged 4 to 15. Once again. Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. Not a Mexican. smh

Yeah - in case you missed it, much like political dissidents in the communist bloc, American trans people have been blocked from travelling abroad. But I have no sympathy for Jenner. (See next skeet). She voted for this and would do again in a heartbeat. She thought she was too rich to be hurt.

Morning. ☕️

Saturday.

Been sick in bed for best part of a week. About 90% back to normal (or my specific abnormal). Haven’t done any exercise. Just going go for a light swim to get the body moving again.

Whenever there’s good news for consumers they turn it into a bad news story for markets and start moaning about inflation. I’m heartily sick of it.

Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.

We sued the Education Dept. for withholding records about discrimination in schools. Got information to share with our team? Contact @jsmithrichards.bsky.social on Signal at jsmithrichards.93 or @jodiscohen.bsky.social at jodireporter.88 👇

The Canadian system has its problems but I would take it any day over the US medical killing system.

Putin doing his thing, AGAIN, for the moronic, traitorous, orange rapist

Most of what Trump says clashes with reality, yet it easily passes without serious challenge. The media bears significant responsibility for the normalisation of this warped reality theaimn.net/the-normalis...

JUST IN: Two days after saying the U.S. would NOT renew sanctions waivers on Russian or Iranian oil, Bessent’s Treasury quietly extended a license allowing Russian oil transactions for another month.

I was not aware until today that the majority of Sikh holy sites are in Pakistan due to the way the borders were created between modern India and Pakistan. That is fascinating

Trump about Iran “we can’t let a country blackmail or extort the world” That is literally exactly what he does every single day.

The Japanese invent new word for cruelly hot days kokusho-bi (defined as 40 degrees +) and the ABC runs that as a cute / isn’t it funny news story rather than a sociological climate change signal. We are fucking doomed.

Goebbels Cocktail Party

I don’t understand how Zuckerberg can leave his home. His businesses have created industrial scale political misinformation and platformed transphobia, homophobia, toxic masculinity, Nazism, bullying. And he deliberately designed the addiction of kids leading to suicide. He is a social terrorist.

2026: masochism in the form of political engagement

They grey hairs are arriving en masse. I love it. Oh I mean on my head. Like the neighbourhood is not being inundated with older people.

That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!

If true, this means that MAGA believe Trump murdered 2 people. newrepublic.com/post/209222/...

who is letting the duck in?? 🙋‍♀️🌱

This picture of Astronaut Christina Koch after the Artemis landing is frankly incredible and beautiful.

Absolute fuckwits. Utter utter fuckwits. How many regional people can't park at home? We live regionally, haven't used a public charger yet. 450km range. Cost half what they're saying. What happens when people discover that Sky just lies lies lies?

I hope world leaders are talking to each other about what happens if Trump dies and Vance is worse.

If I didn’t believe in karmic justice it would really hard to get through each day

Baking set to opera. Found this weirdly satisfying.

I’m starting to come around to the idea that we need population control. Specifically, culling 3428 people will give the world the right balance. Oh in entirely unrelated news, there are now 3428 global billionaires.

15 dead 🇺🇸 ≈ 500 wounded 🇺🇸 And we’re not even back to where we started And our evil dictator wants credit for ending the war he started without our permission when it’s not even over It’s stupifying It’s absurd It’s a tragedy and a national embarrassment It ought to be his final transgression
