John Howard has done precisely two good things in his wretched life - institute gun control and disappear from the public eye - and this week he’s pissed both up against the wall

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

I thought I saw them around somewhere

BREAKING Linda Reynolds sues the Australian government for not appointing a Special Envoy to Combat AntiLindaReynoldsism

I just don't understand the type of person that would try to spread a vicious rumour that police were shot in the back running away from the shooters at Bondi. Do they want more division in Australia? #auspol #bondi

Two men. My @smh cartoon.

I’m at the southern end of Sydney’s Bondi Beach for a dawn that offers a glimmer of hope.

Maybe I’m missing something. Maybe I’m just an idiot. Maybe I’m the one who’s wrong. But I honestly can not see why anyone needs to own a gun at home, let alone multiple automatic/semiautomatic weapons of war! If you like shooting, fine your guns can stay at the gun club. No one needs guns at home.

Me while decorating the tree: I should put the Christmas ornaments a couple feet off the ground so the cats can’t get them. The cat:

Years ago I worked at a cafe at the Southern Cross University library in Lismore NSW. There was a koala colony on campus. One day I saw a koala walking into the library. I think it wanted an education too. Not sure what this one was up to. Any guesses? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

I had to read it again.

Christmas threw up on our house again this year. It's good to bring joy to people's world when there's a lot of shitty things going on. #joytotheworld #christmas #christmaslights #christmas2025

On the weather front, it's rained more than I expected today and that has put a hold on my lawn mowing intentions. #weather #rain #mowing

Trump just said Fentanyl will be classified as a weapon of mass destruction via an EO today. So as a paramedic, does this now make me a Terrorist? I’ve given Fentanyl at least 3 times today alone.

Thinking of this photo of Carl & Rob Reiner at dinner that went viral a few years ago. May their memory be a blessing. ❤️❤️❤️

Jack, seems like your president may disagree with you. Sick.

Life should be like that. When childhood is joyful, when lights shine not only in hearts but also on the streets. Seen today in Kyiv. They have snow near one of the skating rinks.

Overheard in the supermarket. Two teenagers. 1: 'Where's Dad?' 2 (with ineffable weariness): 'In the cheese aisle, having the time of his life.'

Psst... Hey America, this is how it's done after a mass shooting when you're serious about gun reform #auspol #uspol

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

▫️ Your regular reminder that Sussan Ley is an empty-headed baying gorgon and an inflammatory idiot with the morals and political acumen of groin fungus. ▫️

I have to say, pretty disgusted that Sussan Ley accused the PM of not keeping the Jewish community safe. Political opportunism has no time or place here. Read the room. #auspol

A true Aussie hero

MELIA's story from the shelter. I do not work for them. Just sharing. Please open your home and heart. Training is funded to whomever adopts her. Hempstead Animal Shelter [email protected] (516) 785-5220 3320 Beltagh Avenue , Unit Wantagh, NY 11793 ⬇️ www.facebook.com/reel/7083278...

My thoughts are with those that are involved in the Bondi shooting. Victims, responders & bystanders alike.

😆

Lawless, criminal behavior

Caturday 🧡

BREAKING: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a rare and risky visit to frontline positions near Kupyansk, an area still under heavy fighting.

Tourism Australia….. please educate tourists on the danger of our ‘cute’ baby blue octopus 🤦‍♀️

This man with a sign ‘Hugs warm you up’ offered free hugs at the Christmas market today. Kurazh Market is one of the best in Kyiv. It happens about once a month and celebrates Ukrainian craftsmanship and spirit.

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

Putin bragged to foreign journalists that his forces had taken the Ukrainian city of Kupiansk. President Zelenskyy showed up instead and showed the world that Russia wasn't even there.

🩸🩸🩸 NEVER FORGET: Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸
