An American defence and intelligence contractor talks about the recent USA and Ukraine meeting in the White House. “If I was Australia I would be looking at French submarines.” #AUKUS #auspol youtu.be/hTm0of2znlE?...

I just clicked on a video link in a forum and… …geolocked. So, wild and crazy idea. Anything that would be covered by copyright has its legal protections removed if it is not made available to the public. If access to buy it is blocked, no penalties apply if it’s pirated. Don’t geofence me out!

#Trump is not smart enough to run a distraction campaign. #ElonMusk is too egotistical to believe he needs one. The USA can no longer be trusted. Ditch #AUKUS. Don’t just impose reciprocal tariffs, slap anything destined for the USA with export duties too. End all contracts with Starlink. #auspol

So, with the cuts being made in American air regulatory agencies, shall we start a betting pool on when the first billionaire in a private jet crashes? #faa #maga #doge

Hey, Australian Government! I’ve got a better deal than those AUKUS submarines. Every university, medical research lab, and the CSIRO could attract the greatest minds the USA has disenfranchised. We could lead the world in any scientific discipline you could imagine. #auspol

In the past, #elonmusk has tried to shut down Starlink in Ukraine to favour the Russians. Today he just walked into the USA Treasury and demanded access. Everything he owns must be considered compromised and a security threat. Any government deals with him are suspect. #auspol

@saberspark.bsky.social I’m not sure if this is getting an international release, but you might find this Australian animated film interesting. Set to hit cinemas her on Feb 27th. Maybe you can contact the company for press releases. Beats AI slop. www.imdb.com/title/tt3399...

Two fatal crashes within 3 days, less than two weeks after the FAA director stepped down. If I was a billionaire in the USA, I’d be selling my private jet and taking limousines everywhere, until Musk is kicked out of Washington and “DOGE” is dismantled completely. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is a great thread about offshore wind turbines. With an Australian election due, countering false talking points is important. #ClimateChange #Auspol

Australia has refused entry to hate speech advocates, holocaust deniers, and nazi sympathisers before. I don’t know how likely it is for him to come here, but he should be turned away just the same. #BanElonMusk #Auspol

Someone I follow online just mentioned that their voice-to-text swapped out “technically” for “tech coyote.” There’s got to be an IT support person’s fursona there somewhere. “Try clearing your cache and cookies, arrwooo!” #furry

Stupid thought I had about the #TikTokBan “In this economy who can afford bread? And now the USA government is shutting down the circus.”

Why are we allowing foreign investment when citizens and permanent residents can’t afford the first step on the housing market? #Auspol

Zuckerberg has announced the end of fact checking and policy changes to end hate speech. And with everything Musk has done. Both Meta and X/Twitter are absolutely going to use disinformation to interfere in any upcoming Australian elections. All backed by the Trump White House. #Auspol

I was looking through my change today and spotted something. “The portrait is facing the wrong way,” was my first thought. It was the new King Charles AU$2. On the obverse it was commentating the Australian Olympic team. More surprising is that I’ve got physical cash…
