I've been keeping quiet and limiting my doom scrolling for a few months because what was happening was so damn depressing. But the double whammy of Canada 🇨🇦 flipping off Trumpism and @jbpritzker.bsky.social's speech calling for (more) mass protests has me coming out of my shell. There's hope yet!

Happy New Year to everyone on #Bluesky. Just after midnight here. No major resolutions, but let's just hope that we get through this one better than we feared... 🥹

Jimmy Carter was a true public servant and peacemaker. Our country is a better place because of him. My thoughts are with his family.

Taking a break from Bluesky for a few days, because our family made a pact about mobile phone use over the holidays. Thanks for everyone who makes this such a welcoming place. 🤗 Whatever you do or don't celebrate, I wish you a wonderful and relaxing time, hopefully with loved ones.

I consider myself to be left of centre. From the far right, I must look like I'm far left. But now I'm getting a tad worried about the far left shouting "ignore centrist media, they've sold out to the right!" too loudly. I don't disagree entirely, but let's make sure we keep an open mind, please.

Am I a bad person for chuckling sardonically when I read a headline that "Russia's head of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons was killed in an explosion?" (That's why they paid you the big Rubles, bro! Hehehe...)

"In the world of comparing apples and oranges, the $263 billion figure looks to have come from comparing apples and elephants." 😂 Spot on. And this is what the Coalition wants to run the next eelction on? Seriously. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

This is kind of cool. If you have a long thread, you type everything into one box and it divides it up into individual posts and posts it for you. bluesky-thread-composer.pages.dev

This has huge implications on Rupert Murdoch's plans to hand over his media empire to his most right-leaning child. I'm daring to hope Fox News may change into something less... MAGA-y. amp.abc.net.au/article/1047...

Wish I could see the faces of all those Trump voters when they realise what happens to prices when you put a climate-change-denying imbecile in charge. gizmodo.com/the-real-rea...
