If only Ukraine didn’t have that big Drone magnet that forces Russia to do this, there would be peace

Hope is the ability to see the light despite being enveloped in darkness

It’s all bonkers

"super/collider draws our attention to one of the most surreal natural sights on Earth – the pink lakes of Western Australia, including the stunning Lake Hillier. A true wonder of nature!

This German election comes at a very pivotal time for Europe. The EU needs strength and stability to unite against the instability of the US more than ever.

Is anybody in the US keeping a job loss tally? Companies that lay off a few hundred employees usually makes headline news, but the speed that these announcements are occuring makes tracking total job losses very difficult.

Brilliant front page

I am trying to imagine the reaction of Joe Biden or Barack Obama had spoken to a Republican governor in this way at a public event. I just can’t. None of us can.

Next up isssssssssss Brit 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

“If 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.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Wait for the ears 😊 Releasing a Greater Bilby (Macrotis lagotis) back into the wild after we caught it as part of a monitoring survey earlier this week. 📍Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary, Badimia Country #WildOz

The UK’s concerns about the US and its support of Russia, seems to indicate there maybe implications for the future of AUKUS. 👀 #auspol

Look, I’m not saying getting yourself a giant coffee drink will fix all your problems, but the science tells us there’s only one way to know for sure that it won’t

New report shows that Trump platforms, Twitter & TikTok, are serving up relentless far right garbage to German users ahead of national elections. Time for the EU to step in, to shut down these fraudulent grifters*. techcrunch.com/2025/02/19/s...

For anyone that has travelled (or is planning on travelling) from London on EuroStar this is exciting news! Watching the countryside zip by in a comfy seat is a real treat.

A new Coalition of Nations is forming

So now aircraft have to avoid airspace between Australia and New Zealand because of Chinese Warships. Perfectly normal times.

Trump’s new FBI director has now been confirmed. That’s it, that’s my post! (Having deleted this post multiple times I am reminded of my Grandmother’s favourite expression: ‘If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all’)

For eight decades, America’s alliances with other democracies were the bedrock of American foreign policy, trade policy, and cultural influence. No longer www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Is it soon to be renamed the G6?

SpaceX debris is becoming an increasingly significant safety threat "This is the fourth incident recently with a SpaceX Falcon which is causing concern. It looks like glitches like this engine failure are becoming more common" www.bbc.com/news/article...

We are one news cycle away from Trump giving military aid to Russia.

Refresher from Aug 2024. 1) The agreement states both the US and UK need to maintain NATO membership. 2) Both the US and UK can walk away with just 12 months notice. Why would Australia be stumping cash upfront whilst a Putin lunatic fanboy is running the US? #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08...

AUKUS will be used for generations as an example of the perfect meeting of dumb policy and dumb politics.

This is an incredible statement and should be unthinkable, but Trump is destroying the current world political order and as unthinkable as it should be we have to treat the US as an enemy of democracy right now.

Thank you, Canada! 🇨🇦

Hot cross buns are in the shops way too early, however it’s never too early to start eating Cadbury Mini Eggs.

Spotted spurge and mealybugs have joined forces to become adversaries in my yard.

AUKUS began in controversy and should end the same way. Time to walk away from the contract and admit it was a terrible mistake. No shame in announcing Australia needs reliable and secure defence partners that don’t cosy up to Putin. #auspol

Our AUKUS partner praising the regime that murdered 27 Australians on flight MH17.

These mass strandings are always so heartbreaking 😢

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

The my pillow guy must be feeling awfully left out

“We are facing a once in a generation moment for the collective security of our continent. This is the time for us all to step up” Prime Minister Keir Starmer

This doesn’t offer any reassurances for nervous flyers 😱

More efficient than bulldozers if you’re clearing land for redevelopment, which was the whole point of the “war” from the start.
