Taken a few days ago just after sunrise from my front porch..."It's morning in Australia.."🌅

Big picture stuff...

Blood moon tonight...

So nice to be back in blue sky. #bsky

Wow from the water bombers...

While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive. Canadian air crews in Los Angeles risked their lives to save US civilians. #palisadesfire

And we're baaack...#Trumplies www.nytimes.com/2025/01/07/u...

Happy New Year! In 2025, be yourself. It's your only option...

As usual, @aoc.bsky.social speaks the truth. The government and the corporate media are now wholly owned subsidiaries of oligarchs. I’d like to add that our Supreme Court is, too, and that’s why Trump didn’t face trial for J6 prior to the election.

I have never understood the totally illogical fear that Republicans have of the S word. Perhaps it's the lack of or misleading political history taught in schools.

Wow. Her voice was shaking, she stumbled over her comments, this was a woman who was afraid rather than a journalist defending the truth.

Blue skies over New York...just because...

This coulda been our president-elect tonight America but you chose authoritarianism instead

Me too...

A mere 4 Republicans can change a vote in the Democrat direction. Not a landslide. Trump, Johnson and Elon should be worried about trying to get radical legislation through...Two years of that should see approval ratings plummet...

Like me, these guys used to turn to Twitter for news as it happens and respectful conversations. Now it's a cesspit of anger and negativity. Life is too short...

Always the best argument for compulsory voting.

A message for Joe Rogan...

Anybody else find it strange we’re having a ‘peaceful transfer’ to absolute chaos?

The view from the boat...when the bluest of blue skies meets the bluest of waters...Exuma Sound, The Bahamas.

Bluesky with wine...

What he said...😂😂😂

And just like that...#MarkHamill

Brilliant! Steve Rosenberg does the Flintstones theme a la Russian classics...Yabba Dabba Doo... youtu.be/uktXZwg6gfE?...

“Liberal democracy,” he says, “offers moral constraints without problem-solving” — a lot of rules, not a lot of change — while “populism offers problem-solving without moral constraints.” Terrific piece in the NYT...https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/15/opinion/donald-trump-orban-putin.html

I’ve seen enough to make a call: Bluesky is going to be a legit competitor to Twitter. Sweet.

I was cleaning out my phone and came across this. Seems like a good reminder 🖤

My latest purchases at the best little vintage book store in town...well, it's the only one... all first editions.

Bluesky day here...looking due south and next landfall is Antarctica...greetings!

This came up in my feed and I thought it was a bot because of the name. Had to google Buffalo Bills number 17 to find out it wasn't. Talk about Twitter derangement syndrome!

Warming up for the all-out dumpster fire that will ignite on January 20?

Don't look at the news Don't look at the news Don't look at the news (Looks at the news) Oh, for fuck's sake

With the people leaving, why would the press still want to be there. The exodus begins... www.theguardian.com/media/2024/n...

Summer almost here Down Under. Gorgeous day for a run...

I so needed this...❤️ Stevie Wonder, As...

This is quite brilliant, and gotta say, been there done that. It would bode well for Republican women to take particular note...

Red flag that I needed to leave Twitter was when I realized that when I was logged on, I was holding my breath! Still need to chill though. Keep expecting anger and outrage in this feed. But it's like when social media was fun. Here's a pic of the Aurora Australis taken from my hometown...Nov '23

Well, I can't hack any more negativity and Musk algorithms, so just taking it slowly here. I hope I can get some interesting content and find likeminded humans. I write, I run, I'm Australian but have spent much of my time and lived in New York. Political junkie for the past 50+ years!
