I watched the pilot episode. I laughed, I was bemused, and astounded: I know it’s a parody but … if that’s a parody, it leaves me wondering, were Alex Jones’s fans REALLY that divorced from reality????

To be clear, the racist orange felon tried to end birthright citizenship and Soccer player Folarin Balogun would not be an American citizen today if not for that, so let’s not start pretending that he gives a fuck.

TLDR: 1. extreme right wing politician known to be funded by a criminal 2. universal healthcare celebrated after govt slashed spending, right wing parties hoping to end healthcare for poors 3. right winger says paper that occasionally reports facts is left wing.

the bastard gained over $2billion since inauguration and he won’t pay her the $5million he owes.

Apple‘s dictate has taken my dictation and changed my politics too, for text messages and social media posts. It’s HORRIBLE.

“Every move you make, every bite you take, I’LL BE WATCHING YOU” Silkie, seeing eye dog. alternative music: GIVE THAT WOLF A BANANA.

the Trump regime fires two types of people: 1. those who stand up for what is right 2. scapegoats Anyone getting this kind of send-off is the first type. Well done.

Utopia did “announceables” SO WELL. Like the ‘fast rail’ system that govts keep announcing, spend millions on reports from private consultants, each of which say the same damned thing (won’t work), then it’s shelved until next time. Next announceable. Mamdani announces actual shit happening.

Yesterday we watched Supergirl. Silkie (my dog) seemed to watch the beginning, but once Krypto was sick she lost interest. Towards the end, her head was UP and SHE WAS FOCUSED. New backstory for SG. Loved her mother, not a quote: “be good. Doesn’t mean nice. You can be tough. BE GOOD”.

Our prime minister @albomp.bsky.social gave us a commitment last year that he would not give our copyright away. Now Albo is again in talks with billionaires to give them *our* salaries and give them *our* assets so the billionaires and their trillionaire companies can INCREASE their profits.

Interesting on BBC News around 10pm last night, focusing on Iran. Three times the phrase “the war started by the US and Israel” came up. If that’s factual reality starting to dawn, well done BBC, however late in the day.

F#ck Jared Kushner and Ivanka Much Respect and Good Thoughts to the Albania People! p.s. Albanians you are 100% correct - this is the MOST corrupt GOV in the World

“Give me your corrupt, your pimps, your draft dodgers…”

How is the Balmy Army taking it? - Australian enquiring 😉

Albo's apology: "I apologise unequivocally for the comments." What he should have said: I apologise for engaging in blatant locker-room misogyny. Reducing women to sexual objects degrades the office of the PM, and I am sorry for using cheap, trashy banter for laughs. #auspol #GutterPolitics

“Algae in the stream” as sung by Trump* www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFu4... * probably sounds better than Trump’s singing but it’s not what you’d call a musical rendition, lol.

Storms can be catastrophic but also most of the world’s oxygen comes from the ocean. We *need* healthy oceans.

A couple of weeks before Charlie Kirk was murdered, he called for the release of the Epstein Files. He walked it back afterwards, saying he’d trust the government, which was not his schtick at all.

remember the Italian actor who cost Australia a match back in the day? I don’t even follow soccer but I remember that. This’ll be worse. I saw the pic of Balogun: he fisted the guy’s shirt AND had his foot on the guy’s ankle, which is probably injured after being bent like that.

I used to make ginger snaps. the recipe called for - I think - 3 tablespoons full of ginger. So I used a tablespoon BUT every spoonful was piled as high as could be. It was probably closer to 9tbsp. My family loves our ginger.

I didn’t get that either until someone explained that it means that AFTER eating the cake, there’s no more cake. So you can’t eat cake AND have it afterwards.

What happens when the Qld mine is no longer viable & the company goes into receivership? The Palaszczuk govt implemented the financial provisioning scheme in 2019 to address some of that. Miners have been lobbying the Crisafulli govt to repeal it. #qldpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Billionaires say “we took the $ but we want taxpayers to clean up our mess” is SO on-brand imo.

shirtfronting AND a foot on the ankle causing the other player’s leg to buckle, probably injured him too. Looks like the USA is as nasty on field as in politics.

Trump cultists need to wake up. 1. Socialism is NOT communism. Ask Ireland & more. Trump lies again. 2. Many EU/other states practise Social Democracy. 3. They have lower costs, more rights, better health care, more paid holidays, greater party choices, etc.

That’s the kind of planning for the future I like to see…

"'If there is no god, what stops you from raping and killing everyone you want to rape and kill?' And my answer, I have raped and killed every single person I want to rape and kill. And that number is zero, motherf----r! If your number is a positive integer, sign up for prison!" - Penne Jillette

God needs to improve their aim.

when I close my eyes in a light or bright environment, I don’t see black. Also I suspect I have my ”shower thoughts” in spaces other than the shower, lol

How to say “I’ve never been in a pub in Australia” without saying it, lol.

Netherlands confirms it will host Nuremberg-style tribunal for Russia kyivindependent.com/netherlands-...

Politicians should not INSTRUCT judiciary, politicians LEGISLATE then judiciary interprets

Paul Keating. Most people don't know but I know, the French offered Australia another deal on the submarines & that would be their newest nuclear submarine...5% enriched uranium not 95% weapons grade, delivery firm date 2034, fixed price. French got no response. 19:34 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoJI...

This puppy looks happy. If your dog is overheated, put water on their paws and belly. It’s more effective there than on their backs. (Things I learnt from Seeing Eye Dogs Australia)

thank you, Elon Musk, SpaceX and Starlink: every rocket launch damages the ozone layer. SpaceX seems to have more exploding rockets than the “other kind” and Starlink’s satellites orbit so low without propulsion units so they come crashing down regularly (according to reports)

Tax the rich, tax the mining companies, STOP PRIVATISING EVERYTHING. FFS Australia used to be more sustainable. Telstra gave millions every year to treasury. Electricity was nationalised NOT profiteering, with maintained networks. Etc.

Village Cinemas treat disabled people like THIRD class citizens: no disability access for Gold Class and only two cinemas in an entire complex allow audio description. It’s SO BAD the manager didn’t even know what audio description was, and confused it with closed captions!!!!

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. Taylor isn’t right twice a day but perhaps he can make it twice a month? twice a year?

Ironic because I figure an expected 30 minute storm is merely a means to delay Trump’s speech while they wait for the temperature to cool down. Also, he’ll want to speak as close to the fireworks as possible so his crowd is the biggest possible before 880k crackers toxify the air. (Usual = 20k)

A destructive storm expected and expected to last FOR HALF AN HOUR?? FOR *THIRTY MINUTES*??? OMFG. Remember when we had firenadoes and fires causing their own thunderstorms then, YEARS LATER, Americans were like “unprecedented fire weather”? Yeah, me too.

Light cloud cover*, no rain, not enough people to fill the seats, and it was HOT. My money is on Trump refusing to stand in 100ºF heat to speak and his handlers not wanting another crowd size tantrum. * “That’s not a storm, THIS is a storm” said every Australian. www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01...

It doesn’t look as bad as the cloud cover yesterday when I walked my dog.

In case you haven't seen this today.

China doesn't need to waste a bullet. The Chinese President and Communist Party just kick back and watch Trump destroy America's world standing and superpower status without lifting a finger. Trump's doing the work for them anyway. Happy July 4, seppos.

If Trump came down under, eggs would fly off the supermarket shelves faster than dunny paper during covid. We're Aussies. We don't open carry guns like Yanks. But Trump would leave Australia with egg on his face, literally.

why? Did they object to people celebrating July 4? Or did Trump call them in to do his dirty work?
