This is awful. Project 2025 is well underway. I'm so sorry for the good and competent people losing their jobs.

ICE not so cold now.

We just cracked 600 enrolments in my first year Human Anatomy and Physiology 1A unit here at @utas.edu.au 😱

Tasmania has been burning for more than two weeks, with no end in sight. Important lessons are emerging from these fires, which speak to the broader, worsening threat as the climate changes. More: utas.au/Tas_Fires

CAN YOU READ THIS, Australian Labor Party?!!!

Neo-Nazi terrorist and convicted mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011, cited this same Napoleon quote in his manifesto.

🤬🤬🤬 One of the reasons I'm writing a book about religious businesses and their over-reach. #atheist #atheism #visibility

@davidpakman.bsky.social can you fact check this please on your show? Reports are that the Dems have already agreed to fast track his nomination so they don't have to work over the weekend. Are the Dems as useless as we think?

Nailed it…

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

What a wonderful reason for women to not take their partner's name when they marry. And/or to change it back.

Let's have some fun with Google.

An absolute bloody disgrace. Democracy for sale, rubber-stamped by the duopoly. I said if this was passed that I'd use my (tiny) influence to advocate for putting the majors last this election. It's locked in. Please, vote for your favourite independent/minor party. #auspol

Coles barbecue chooks just seem to be getting smaller and smaller but the price is staying the same (or increasing). They're heading towards spatchcock size, I swear.

The whole thing stinks to high heaven - why are they battling any of it? The whole strategy from ABC's legal team is gross.

If you teach, or are learning, histology, please check out histologyguide.com I was reminded today just how good this free online resource is. I have no affiliation with the website or authors, I'm just an admirer of the website. I spent a lot of time looking at the different phases of mitosis.

Bringing my stupid thoughts to life....

We're investigating if upgrading our current system is

Every time I leave the room I come back to this... Cheeky bugger

Excellent policy.

Last year, I dobbed a bloke into the EPA for littering - I caught him on my dashcam dropping a cigarette butt out of his window. Today, I saw another person do the same thing, again caught on my dashcam. I downloaded the video and it turns out it's the same guy in the same car doing the same thing.

We all know NASA is next, right? 😞

With everything going on overseas, @australianlabor.bsky.social could take a lead in implementing feel-good and positive policies. Make Australia feel worth living in, investing in. But no.
