Thank you for this post, @michellemilthorpe.bsky.social! Properly taxing mining and fossil-fuel companies is THE biggest issue facing our country right now. Both the Coalition and the ALP have been completely complacent about it. www.facebook.com/share/p/18hP...

K-BBQ time with this cutie!

Everybody be jealous of my black garlic ramen from Snow Monkey Ramen!

Just butt-tested a Herman Miller Aeron. I can see what all the fuss is about now. 😍

On the train to Melbourne to stay for a couple of nights and celebrate my birthday tomorrow. 🚂

Is the little "new posts - scroll to top" indicator at the bottom left not showing up anymore for anyone else on the Bluesky web app? I have to click the feed header to force a refresh and see if there are new posts.

Me explaining how tariffs work with also some truly to scale and accurate map work

Finally got around to deactivating my Xitter account. Should've done it much sooner. I haven't signed in there in over a year now I think.

@albomp.bsky.social time to reassess our alliance with the United States. Your silence is that of a servant not a leader of a nation. America is a traitor to its allies, wake up.

8 1/2 hours apart. Policy and political incompetence

I doubt Elon will ever send anyone to Mars in his SpaceX rocket, but it's looking increasingly likely that he'll send someone to heaven.

Any minute now Trump's going to abolish the department of transportation because it has the prefix "trans" in it.

What's that? The US economy is sinking? Elon! Still got those submarines?

If Europe forms a new defence treaty like NATO but without the US, can Australia please join? Like Eurovision. Except without Israel.

This morning's Anthony Albanese's strongly backed Ukraine. This is good, and we'll need more and more of this in coming weeks and months. The US is no longer Australia's ally. #auspol

Aaaand @michellemilthorpe.bsky.social just lost my first preference. What is this nonsense?

Pals. My @smh @theage cartoon.

@anthony-albanese.bsky.social Since Dutton has announced that he'll match your plan to boost Medicare and bulk billing, why wait? Why not vote it through now and chalk it up as an immediate win? Everybody wants it.

Astronaut Kiiroitori is silently judging you.

@michellemilthorpe.bsky.social I know you're very Farrer-focused, but have you given much thought to how you'd vote on federal and even international issues if you're elected? I'm curious as to your position on issues like taxing mining and fossil fuel companies, getting out of AUKUS etc etc.

My electricity provider is seeing so much solar generated by its customers that it's going to offer a plan to subsidise customers who use energy between 10am and 3pm.

One of the few people of whom you can say the world would be a better place had he never been born

Blame game. My @smh @theage cartoon.

"No one voted for this kind of incompetence" Except they did. And they're cheering it on. I don't think progressive (or even centrist) politicians are ever gonna win back the wingnut MAGA cultists, and with the kind of election fraud entrenched in the red states ... the US might be doomed.
