I drove down an unmaintained Highway one day in 2019. There was no cell phone coverage and drifts high enough to stop my car. After 2 hours of fear this is what I was presented with! #landscape #photography #rockymountains #sunset #easternslopes #winter #canada #alberta

This is for @gtconway.bsky.social Five things I did last week. 1. Took too much ketamine 2. Danced onstage with a chainsaw 3. Ignored my new baby momma 4. Laughed at my own jokes. 5. Neglected all of my children except for the one I use as a human shield.

Another #auspol idea. Tricky though when many in regional areas rely on Starlink for connectivity. Maybe time for Telstra or someone else to step up? #JustSaying. šŸ™ƒšŸ¤žšŸ¦‹

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they donā€™t give us 50% of their mineral rights. Thatā€™s not diplomacy, itā€™s extortion. Weā€™re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

WalMart, the largest private-sector employer in the United States, with approximately 1.5 million employees, half of whose take home pay is less than $19,177/yr. When employees complain they are not making enough to support their families, HR tells them to apply for Food Stamps!

it seems as if every day science takes another giant leap forward

ā€œIf you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.ā€ A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I've often insisted that we need to keep our eyes on Trump's actions more than his words (because so many of the words are bluster & lies). Now we have a genuinely dangerous action: a purge at the Pentagon, notably a purge of the top figures who can decide if Trump's commands are unconstitutional.

True. #WhatDidYouDo Just like we asked how the German people let what happened in WW2 happen, we'll be asked how did you people let it happen.

Stop trying to be liked by everybody You donā€™t even like everybody

ā€œTony Burke is rushing people thru Australian citizenship ceremonies before the electionā€ screams Murdoch rags. The same rags who fanatically support a Putin loving, adjudicated rapist, 34 times convicted felon and the only president in US history to attempt an insurrection!

When abortion is banned women die.

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesnā€™t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazineā€™s Women of the Year. Amandaā€™s Story: Citing the stateā€™s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Herā€¦

I still maintain that the world would be a better place if it became acceptable (a) to own up to your mistakes and (b) change your mind. Unfortunately our culture seems to be based on the idea that self-aggrandisement, blaming others and pigheadedness are virtues.

YES!! šŸ’™

For many years, Australiaā€™s Great Barrier Reef agency has provided weekly briefings throughout summer months. Last year, the briefings consistently downplayed the worst due-off of corals ever recorded. This summer, the briefings have been quietly silenced. And the media sleeps on.

ā€œWe have political leaders who insist that mining and forestry underwrite Australian prosperity. I will state it plainly. Those who believe this nonsense cannot be trusted with the wellbeing of future generations.ā€ Ken Henry isnā€™t fuckinā€™ around.

Dearest American friends, Your President is destroying international relations around the world. Sure, Australia (as we did in WWII) if we were to 'come under attack' from an adversary (war) then we'd probably need American military help. That is true. However, if the US was under attack ... 1/

Well, Trumpā€™s back playing world leader with all the finesse of a bull in a china shop, while Putin smirks and Ukraine burns. Itā€™s not ā€˜diplomacyā€™, itā€™s a global pissing contest with dangerously high stakes and uncontrollable egos.

ā€œTrumpet of Patriots? More like the Foghorn of Fuckwits if you ask me Carmelā€

half a million people signed a petition to parli not that long ago, govt just dismissed all those peoples wishes if govts wont listen to over 500,000 ppl, theyre never going to listen to anyone, on anything what is the point?

Tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas Measles outbreak in Texas Bird flu - first death among humans But yes, by all means, please fire CDC, NIH, and other scientists Everything will be fine

I just want to say to all of the people I know who were victims of that monster, now dead (& of those who allowed him to keep abusing children for years after they knew): good people have you in their hearts. Thinking of Paul, Steve, Nick, Andrew, the Harrisons, the Currans, to name but a few. ā¤ļø

ā€˜A republic, if you can keep itā€™ The rapid fracturing of American democratic institutions and conventions show just how important it is to preserve a dedication to truth and democracy at home #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2025/02/17/a...

For anyone pretending Labor's first term has been a do-nothing government here's the proof you're wrong and you're probably far too reliant on Murodch and other RW media johnmenadue.com/the-governme...
