This is what world leaders need to do to the #USA. Bullies don’t have friends. youtu.be/WITlM2pY_a4?... #auspol #politics

Down at #hobart docks on a #morningrun. Mt Wellington/kunyani looking over us

Gotta umpiring has started at the same low standard as we are used to in the #afl in the #AFLHAWKSBOMBERS Looks like the boofheads at AFL headquarters are on the Hawks

@albomp.bsky.social you need to give me a reason to vote for you again, because at the moment it’s just “we’re less fucked than them” but ur still fucked Gutless on areas that Labour should be strong, especially about being good humans. AND need to tell the #USA to go fuck themselves #auspol

#morningrun along the rivulet. Beautiful #hobart

This #poem was written quickly about the uneasy feeling I have about the imminent #flood at #lismore #murwillumbah #goldcoast & #brisbane from Cyclone Alfred I have moved since the last one but I haven't left it behind. Thinking of everyone in the midst of it.

2008 #Russia invaded Georgia as a test run to see what the world would do. The world did nothing 2014 invasion of Ukraine & annexing of Crimea. The world did nothing. 2022 full scale assault and invasion of #Ukraine. 2025 worse than nothing #USA are now openly on Russia’s side #NATO help

My Street in West Hobart #tasmania on my #morningwalk

Public (civil) servants are people who are doing important for the community, not for profit. Why are they an easy, lazy, anonymous target for conservative politicians around the world? We should faces on these people, to show that cuts affect people. #politics #auspol #uspol

Is #Trump really that stupid that he is swallowing the Russian lines that Zelenskyy is a dictator and that #Ukraine started the war? I’m in my 50s and #USA V #Russia has been a defining competition of ideology and the US are backing Russia! Surely even #Republicans can’t agree with this. #uspol

Progressive voters are always disappointed in progressive government due to promise & an aim for something better. Conservatives deliver on their mean spirited manifesto. No surprise, just greedy, heartless, every man for themselves. Vote positive we can do good for each other. #auspol

Rather than react with policies that have attracted people to vote for independents and therefore be representative of their constituents, the major parties have ganged up to maintain the 2 party system. Punish them by voting independent. They have no goal except to be in power. #auspol

Cooper Connolly picked as a bowling all-rounder has never taken a first class wicket. Has that ever happened before? Gifted a #baggygreen #SLvAUS #cricket

Shocking decision by SEN (Hutcho) to sack Peter Lalor. It is not antisemitic to call out the Israeli govt for its appalling behaviour. It is not the behaviour of the Jewish people, it is the actions of a heartless, lawless government. Good on Lalor and goodbye SEN. I'll get my sport news elsewhere.

Love Kris Kristofferson here's a great line. #quote #poetry

@vanbadham.bsky.social posted this and I agree #auspol

Wombat in a hollow log on Maria Island, #Tasmania Isn't #nature grand?

I'm not on #TikTok, but if #Americans ban things they don't own, why should the rest of the world use Facebook, X, etc? Sounds like a good old fashioned #hissyfit to me.

I put #quotes on my board at home. Thought I'd share some.

#hobart #tasmania in bloom.

#Summer in #westhobart #tasmania

Any pitch, seaming or spinning, that sees two strong teams finish in 3 days is not a good wicket for #cricket - It becomes a lottery instead of a #test of skill. #AUSvIND

#booksread 2024 18. Faith, Hope and Carnage - Nick Cave and Sean O’Hagan 12/12/2024 10/10 Brilliant. A conversation over the course of many months. Cave’s explanation of his faith and the loss of his son go deep and are illuminating for me. A book I will return to. #bookreview

My footsteps Tully's panting The odd bird Whoo oo whoo oo Pigeons to and fro Chattering Of small wrens A block or so on Korr korr korr Of a raven Musings inside My own head A quiet saunter As the day wakes #poem #poetry #writing #morningwalk

Beautiful colour in #gardens everywhere in #westhobart #tasmania
