Jacqui Lambieā€™s suggestion that we should boot the USA out of Pine Gap should they install tariffs is actually sound logic for fighting bullies. Lambie has doubts the US under Trump would protect us should China antagonise us anyhow. And why would China invade Australia anyhow?

Looking very much like itā€™s going to be a direct hit šŸ˜¬

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesnā€™t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what heā€™s up to.

Ok everyone, to support my amazing wife @scidocmartin.bsky.social, and all affected by breast cancer, I'm going to do 174 squats each day for every day of March. If you can donate or share my page that'd be awesome, thanks! fundraise.nbcf.org.au/fundraisers/...

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

maybe the inevitable plummet in flying in the US out of sheer fear of Musk's botched changes drops emissions more than Tesla sales ever did

Perfect. You can support Canada and Mexico by getting your drink on.

I've been fully remote since 2018 and can agree with all of these - my last memories of being in an office were that I was constantly distracted by everyone else making phone calls and chatting Even if you doubled what I earn now to get me back in the office, I wouldn't take it

Oh damn OpenAI did someone steal your IP? That must suck, sorry that happened to you.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.
