This article in the @SMH blows the nuclear nonsense apart. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

#Newspoll Preferred PM: Albanese 45 (0) Dutton 38 (-3) #auspol

Assad has fled Syria. His regime has fallen. Mark this day in your diaries because much in the Middle East has just altered in a generational way.

Re watching Slow Horses... even better 2nd time around.

Elon Musk spent $250 million dollars so Donald Trump could put him in charge of cutting wasteful spending.

Take your hate somewhere else.

Ron Greentree - a well known planet destroyer and has been for years. The fine isn't big enough for destructive vandals like this. They think they own the earth. Prison would work a lot better. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If you’d told me on Jan 6th 2021 that the man responsible for that horrific attack would end up returning to the office he tried to steal that day, and that he’d do so after calling the attackers “heroes” & “hostages” he was going to pardon, I’d have thought you were out of your damn mind. And yet…

What’s with all the “alpha males” looking to men like Tucker and Rogan for what to believe and for other male approval? Now they all look act and believe the same. Sounds kind of Beta to me actually

The real-time reporting of South Korea today was far easier to follow along on Bluesky than X. It’s these moments that define these platforms. Bluesky really does have the juice.

What’s more wrong than the pardon is holding Trump to no standard at all. Biden pardons his son & we scream. Trump lies as he breathes, abuses the powers of his office, incites violence, obstructs justice, tries to overthrow an election, & we yawn or look away. We treat Trump like a spoiled child.

@philhazell1.bsky.social fancy meeting you here, Phil! 🥰

While Gina Reinhardt pushes her puppet Dutton for nuclear power… Fortescue signs deal for $A600 million of battery electric mining equipment from Chinese heavy machinery manufacturer XCMG, in pursuit of its goal of real zero emissions by 2030..

England had Duran Duran. We have Simon Benson & Simon Benson. #auspol

This would be a tough platform for a lot of the Twitter trolls because spelling and grammar are generally correct here

Trigger a MAGA: Zelensky is four times the man Trump ever could dream to be

It never stops being weird watching homophobes dance to YMCA, the most popular gay anthem of all time.

According 2 ABS, electricity prices fell by 35.6%. The largest annual fall for the monthly Electricity series on record. Rebates from fed Labor & state Labor govt in QLD had much to do with it. Won’t hear anything about it on MSM - as they continue to bag Labor & run a coalition protection racket

Dear Magaidiot, small in the pants, incel, chucklefuck trolls, Yes. I will block you on here. I put up with enough of your rage jerking on the Nazi rapist hellscape. I’m not doing it on here too. Bluesky ain’t for you anyway. Folks here talk fancy & we don’t fuck sheep. Now… shoo.

@stephenlongaus.bsky.social Welcome aboard! Everyone should follow Stephen!

Hey. Just hit 10,000 followers. And not a bot or a troll among ‘em. That’s nice, thank you.

“Already, [Trump] transition officials are taking suggestions for potential hires from the extensive personnel database created by Project 2025.” Call me crazy, but didn’t we warn folks about this for *months*?!

ICYMI: Journalist & femicide researcher @sherelemoody.bsky.social, who runs Australian Femicide Watch and the RED HEART campaign is now on #BlueSky. She definitely deserves a very warm welcome, lots of respect, and lots of follows. 💐 🙏 😔 #VAW #DV #StopKillingWomen

Hello on this Wednesday morning . I here and I’m unpacking my bags .

Trump: "I'm ready for my next cabinet pick." Aide: "Shall I get the Sex Offender list or the Russian Asset list?"

Thanks for your patience as we navigated some technical difficulties today! Moving forward, the performance issues you may have noticed should hopefully be resolved. TL;DR we're so back

Meet Peter Dutton Trump. MAGA. Make Arseholes Great Again😳🤣🤣Ian

Hi everybody, with some trepidation, I'm going to start an account here. I'm a journalist of 40-plus years experience from Melbourne, Australia, specialising professionally in AFL football, but with a VERY keen interest also in other sport, music, politics & popular culture. Let's see what happens!

I’ve dropped around 4,000 followers on Skum’s X since the US election. The obscene abuse has dropped with them. Which tells me the joint is rigged and rotten to the core. Bluesky is a breath of clean, fresh air.

@lisawilkinson1.bsky.social is in da house!

Last week BlueSky was cock-a-hoop, because they grew a million followers in a week. They just clocked a million followers in last 24 hours! Now up to 17.35 M #TwitterExodus

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.

#black - 18.5% of 2CP counted - LIB Predicted 2CP=39.6% -13.2% swing. Labor takes 2nd seat off opposition this term at a by-election - results at tinyurl.com/3ajhr2ue #saparli

They’re replaying the Midnight Oil. The Hardest Line doco on the ABC now. If you haven’t seen it,have a look cause it’s fucking brilliant. Ian
