The meaningful commentary of @cathywilcox.bsky.social is always understated yet incredibly powerful! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

Now that seems like a fair question. ๐Ÿค” WTF is wrong with Republicans that they're so hellbent on destroying their own country? ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜Ž

A solo author applying some dodgy methodology including spurious COยฒ accounting is trying to prosecute a case that cows burps and pigs farts do more damage to our climate than burning fossil fuels ... what a load of gaseous manure! ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿฅด Fantastic read with informative graphics; highly recommended. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

I just iviewed Louise Millgan's @milliganreports.bsky.social brilliant 4Corners report on background and insights into the contest between Albanese Vs Dutton ... looks like Spud is still consorting with criminals! ๐Ÿค” I think Dutto's on the nose, aye! ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ˜Ž #DumpDutton #auspol25

You'll know the context behind this post once you read the letter of demand sent to Harvard University ... firking mind blowing! ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜Ž

While the cover price may state $9.99, the current state of America makes this piece of work priceless! ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿ˜Ž #DumpTrump

I send back messages to the parties I dislike with either creative insults, weird and uncomfortable gifs, or the most traumatic experiences from working Covid ICU-like the ones that make professional therapists cry! That almost always gets them to apologize and remove me immediately!

I am manifesting the outcome of the Canadian elections, with Mark Carney being victorious and Pierre Poilievre getting smashed and losing his seat, being what to expect in Australia this weekend ... with Spud Dutton losing his seat too! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜Ž Massive congratulations to Team Carney. ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜Ž #auspol25

Strumpets of Pathos at it again! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿคฌ Thanks Mick @lairdmickd.bsky.social ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Addendum to yesterday's post, Dutton's already blaming media for his imminent loss. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Dutton's attitude "comes straight from US President Donald Trumpโ€™s playbook, where the professional mass media are โ€œfake newsโ€ and the โ€œenemy of the peopleโ€ writes Denis Muller theconversation.com/peter-dutton...

A very informative read if, like me, you too have been getting unsolicited txt messages from Clive Palmer's Strumpets of Pathos party ... HTF did they get my number? ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Totally agree with the comments below; respect and common courtesy towards the first inhabitants dispossessed of this land is the least we can do as a nation ... wonder how those haters would feel if the tables were turned? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜Ž

Let's not forget racism!

Let's make @sharperstill.bsky.social 's day ... Let us all pray! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

No additional comment required. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

Once Dutton gets dumped from Dickson next weekend, what's the bet he blames the ABC for his loss because of their "fake news and character assassinations"! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž #DumpDutton #SpudsaDud #auspol25

This is not just fascism, this a dictator running scared trying to shore up support from the MAGA sycophants because the party base has realised he's a lying fraudster intent on destroying their way of life ... bring on the revolution! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜Ž

"Under Peter Duttonโ€™s leadership, the Coalition has placed One Nation candidates second on scores of its how-to-vote cards across the country. Liberals such as Jim Barron are appalled," write Mike Seccombe. Will Dutton's desparation see him dumped? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜Ž www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/20624/...

An honest and unflattering opinion of why America is on the brink of a self-made, self-inflicted, crisis that could alienate them from the rest of the world ... a highly recommended read. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜Ž

Michelle Grattan takes up media space with a long, considered analysis of Dutton's campaign. What investigative work could this have paid for?? Maybe take some inspiration from @theklaxon.bsky.social's work on Advance? Or Aaron Smith exposing #ameliahamer the nepo baby? Do better Oz media!

Roarwoof! ๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿถ

They're not the only ones laughing ... the whole world is cacking itself as Trump continues to be the GOAT embarrassment America has ever witnessed in their entire history! Time to #DumpTrump before the damage become irreparable and permanent. ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜Ž

"Taylorโ€™s wealth is harder to trace but no less substantial. Estimated at between $10 million and $20 million," writes Jason Koutsoukis. But how much of that came from his alleged rip-off scamming the fed govt for the $80 million water buyback? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜Ž www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/20625/...

โ€œWe donโ€™t think itโ€™s a good use of taxpayersโ€™ money to subsidise people who can afford to buy a brand new electric vehicle and have everyone else pay for that," says LNP's James Paterson. Blatant hypocrisy as taxpayers subsidise private school education! ๐Ÿง๐Ÿ˜Ž www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

"To be successful, an opposition needs a great deal of elbow grease, and so far the Coalition doesnโ€™t look as though it has used enough of that," writes esteemed political analyst Michelle Grattan. Dutton being a divisive buffoon leader has not helped. ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ˜Ž theconversation.com/grattan-on-f...

US Attorney General Pamela Bondi confirmed that FBI agents had arrested Dugan and stated: โ€œNo one is above the law.โ€ ... such an oxymoronic statement when convicted felon, accused rapist and identified schmuck flaunts the law. The rot starts at the head! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿคฌ www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/world/u...

An astute and pertinent summary of the divisiveness perpetuated by Dutton and his merry band of miscreants ... Vote the bastards out! ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜Ž #DumpDutton #auspol25

With clear skies and a chill in the air, a massive crowd turned out for a very moving ANZAC dawn service at the Traralgon cenotaph this morning. Lest We Forget. ๐Ÿ˜Œ #ANZAC #DawnService #Traralgon

A massive crowd attended the ANZAC Dawn service, Traralgon, Victoria. Lest We Forget. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Way to close to the truth to be funny! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜Ž

"The Liberals have not learned sufficiently from theย major failingsย of the Morrison government, whose policies were regularly criticised for being gender-blind" writes Prof Carol Johnson. Both Sen. Hume and Ley demonstrate disdain towards other woman! ๐Ÿ˜ต๐Ÿ˜Ž theconversation.com/when-equal-d...

My grankid's cat, Frankie, demonstrates her prowess at playing the game of Hide & Seek ... took me ages to find her! ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Due to the mass exodus, that other site is now rebranding as Qwitter

For a country that used to pride itself on being the champion of "human rights and freedom of choice", the details below are a damning indictment of just how phucked-up their country has become! ... shameful, and getting worse. ๐Ÿค’๐Ÿค•๐Ÿ˜Ž

I've just read the letter of demand (oppression?) sent to Harvard University ... it is so wayward and at odds with the US First Amendment that it borders on insane hypocrisy; but every word of it is deadly serious! Intelligence and research in the US are being outlawed by flagrant stupidity! ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Trump's thought bubble: "Damn, this woman knows me well!" ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Sage advice that should be heeded ... just saying. Great insight Candace; keep up the good work @candaceoceana.bsky.social ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Ž
