Just in time for [waves hands] everything else going on here is a sad chicken story www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Marie Coleman is a national treasure! So glad to get her involved with #SundayShot. Hope you can join us this Sunday at 9am #auspol

High tide at St Kilda wasn't as high as it was last night. At least there was some of the breakwater high and dry for me to walk on. I hung around to see if I could get some aurora shots - but no cigar.

Watch us continue to do nothing other than send Israel more weapons and support. #FuckIsrael #FuckTheWest

What was the point of adopting the Declaration of Human Rights after WW2? It is largely ignored, tragically. theaimn.net/human-rights/

Outstanding accurate commentary from @cathywilcox.bsky.social. 🎨 #Madleen #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #HumanRights #GazaGenocide

Safe bet the optimistically titled Productivity Commission ignore the enormous tax concessions we give to big dumb utes…hope they prove me wrong but history suggests the PC has a keen eye for support for climate action & turns a blind eye to all things fossil fuel polluting…hope they prove me wrong

Greta Thunberg tried to shame western leaders - and found they have no shame - https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/greta-thunberg-tried-shame-western-leaders-and-found-they-have-no-shame

Following yesterday's lovely sunset, I decided to pop down to St Kilda after work in the hope of getting some good sunset shots. As it turned out, I got stuck at a level crossing watching the longest goods train in South Australia pass by. Sigh. So this was the view when I got there.

California senator @senalexpadilla physically dragged off for trying to ask Kristi Noem a question…

A United States Senator. For trying to ask a question. Welcome to Donald Trump’s America. 🇺🇸

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

🚨SNUGGLING HOUNDS ALERT🚨

"The mass killing of civilians, the destruction of universities and schools, the levelling of libraries and mosques, these are not collateral damages. They are acts of cultural erasure." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

In a tediously tedious work day I did find a happy king parrot looking into a tree hole, which was nice 🙂

Of course, journalists in LA should not be targeted by police with rubber bullets. But let's not ignore the real issue of journalist safety

This is such a classic Young track, and I was lucky enough to see him do it live in Melbourne in early 80s ... best live performer I've ever seen. 🥰😎

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Superb Fairywren sketch. I like to draw (via Zoom) with a friend in the States, and this is what I did yesterday with her. Every drawing is practice for the next.

I’m at the hospital,it’s been a big morning. Ian

I really dislike this smug, disingenuous, baseless type of critique of Greta Thunberg. For all the millions of narcissists, egotists, charismatic villains and disrupters, she’s a bleeding heart with the courage to take action beyond words. www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

Happy Wrensday Wednesday! Here's a female splendid fairywren (with attitude) that I found near Froggy Dam bird hide at Gluepot. #wrensday

I try to go through life being a decent person. I don't always succeed. But I just don't understand those who seem to go looking for a fight. Or those who seek to bring others down. I don't get it.

Gorgeous little superb parrot in a grassland - it’s winter and their flocks are getting ready to migrate out of Canberra 💚💛💚

Fuck humans are a selfish bunch of thoughtless arseholes. Piss off with the lot of you. Cars do NOT belong on beaches. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Greta Thunberg smiled when receiving a pastrami sandwich from an IDF soldier which apparently proves that she’s not serious in her mission. Or maybe, that she has good manners in spite of the circumstances.

They’re ripping kids out of their parents’ arms—again. In America. In our names. DHS raids don’t just “enforce law”—they shatter families like glass on pavement. A child’s scream isn’t collateral damage. It’s the sound of a democracy losing its soul. This is cruelty by design.

world is fukt.
