Tony Abbott's addiction to failure isn't just his problem — in 2025, he's been as committed to making it his party's too.

I needed this laugh today.

I opened up Bluesky and saw a whole bunch of fascist chatter and terrible ads for obvious drop shipper companies. Had the world gone insane? Has the Nazis completely taken over? Then I realised I had opened up X by mistake. Phew.

Religion is dangerous

A fantastic analysis which everyone should read, as we are barraged by nonsense from the MSM.

“The money isn't just being used only to fund their retirement. The plan is for it to help fund the inheritances of their other children without necessitating selling off the family farm” Oh f*ck off. Super tax breaks are not to fund inheritance. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Oh, fuck off ABC.

Miller is the epitome of Hannah Arendt’s “the banality of evil”. A less interesting, intelligent or appealing man is hard to imagine. Pure malice in human form.

Hey @bsky.app - any chance of adding a feature where if the linked article is paywalled, the user is warned about this so we don’t bother to click through and waste our time? It would be much appreciated.

I recently found out that many old paintings contain pigments which are incredibly toxic (Scheele's green, for example, is cupric hydrogen arsenite). But it was common to use these pigments in paper, which were used in kindergartens. Horrific stuff.

All of those second amendment fanaticists, missing in inaction now that an actual tyrannical government is in place. It’s almost like they were all completely cowardly and full of shit all these years. Or was “tyrannical government” a euphemism for their own penile inadequacy?

I am reminded that in the Chatswood Zenith Centre in the mid naughties there was a company called “Models and Millionaires”. It was on the directory of tenants.

Any U.S. product exported will now need to certify that it contains no asbestos, with a third party certification. Making America Great Again. As a colleague of mine noted, she could not think of anything he (would do as a Russian asset that he isn’t doing right now.

Just waiting until an American finally realises that having around 18000 law enforcement organisations there is a recipe for disaster and is a breeding ground for corruption, inconsistency, abuse and extremism.

Warning sign in my KL hotel.

I firmly believe that there is a serious mental disorder which led to the widespread support for the Nazis in 1930s Germany, and it exists in the USA today. This is not situation normal. This is a mental health pandemic.

Still missing

Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated, and any suggestion I would want to even be near King Tampon III are pure slander.
