@olbermann.bsky.social - Thank you for your latest podcast. It was a ripper.

I'm basically an introvert. But if you want to talk triathlon with me, I'm going to Cory Booker the fuck out of Ironman discussion. Soz. Can't help it. And I have the best anecdotes.

Not rage cleaning yet - turned on the telly and am amused

My secret pleasure: listening to US political podcasts whilst I train... My favourites in order: Heather Cox Richardson Keith Olbermann (I want so much to meet him) Molly Jong Fast Pivot & Michael Cohen (tbh, I'm still not sure about this one) So in my little spot in rural Australia, I listen.

And I believe WB

A must watch even if you're not from the US. This is how we stand up. Loud and clear.

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

We no longer have a US ally, we have a US bully.

Holy shit. This stuff just doesn't happen here. Good onya Barry, shearer from Echuca, who won't need to buy his own beers for a long while.

One day a woman headed too close to 50 decided to start jogging to get fit and change her health direction. Then things happened and she kept running. Started swimming and cycling. All of it was pretty much unpleasant. Except for the friends now found. And then defying stereotypes, 1/..

We can make that worse

Lols. Fair point though

In the backwoods of NZ drinking with the locals and having a jolly good time.

J.D. Vance flees to Vermont for a cozy vacation, gets confronted by a handful of protesters, and immediately scurries into hiding. The guy lecturing Zelensky on bravery can’t even handle a few angry locals with cardboard signs. Absolute clown.

Did you run today? Well tbh, ai mostly walked the marathon to protect the future functionality of the knee. Had a cracker of a swim (3.8km), and long ride (180km), and then the marathon. Not my fastest Ironman. Not my slowest. #IMNZ

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Running this morning in rural Vic, Australia, and my go to podcasts are Keith Olbermann and Heather Cox Richardson. Essential listening. @keitholbermann006.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Interesting set of data. Some rather eye opening 👀

Popped over to spotify to make sure I excluded this artist (Snoopdog) permanently from being played on my feed

I feel extremely uncomfortable that a Barrister who is being paid through my public money is treating any person this way over these matters #auspol

Checking the labels when shopping from now on to make sure I buy nothing from the US. Looking at you Worthworths, Coles, Aldi, and IGA. Us Aussies can hold a grudge a long time.

So when is 45 going to replace the whole US Constitution? I reckon within the next 3 months.

Hello beautiful allies. Your Australian cousins are here for you. Let's do some more beautiful trading with each other.

Trump and Musk are on a dangerous mission. Don't think for a minute these intimidation tactics will not affect Australia. #auspol 'President Donald Trump warned that he may widen the scope of his tariffs to include the European Union and the UK.' www.bbc.com/news/live/cq...
