50 years ago I cut school, hitchhiked to Mount Kisco and caught the train down to the city with my friend Mireille to see Holy Grail's US premiere — a matinee. Terry Jones and Michael Palin were there and gave us each a coconut. A beautiful sunny day, the theater was maybe a third full. Ah, youth!

#AusVotes25 Prepolls are open & neither Labor nor Liberals can be arsed to have any meaningful environment policies Utter contempt for the 96% of Australians who believe more action is needed to look after the environment (👀 biodiversitycouncil.org.au/resources/20...)

All the more reason why it is important for Labor to have a caucus that reflects the cultural diversity of its voting base We’ll see hopefully see a bunch of new culturally diverse ALP MPs get elected on May 3 #auspol #ausvotes

i ask you to judge me by the enemies i have made and the unhinged things they say about me on sky news. (the irony that the CEO of an astroturf misinformation vehicle would say these words on rupert murdoch’s network is not lost on me.)

Just finished this 5m long drystone seating area on the banks of the loch. It will hold a single piece of oak across the three protruding stones to form a bench. Built by hand, no mortar, just time, attention, and stone. All materials sourced locally. #Scotland #Nature #Environment #Sustainable

I do mourn Pope Francis. Though I’m no longer a practicing Catholic, my remaining tether was to the kind of faith he modeled, especially in his care for migrants, for refugees, for social justice, and against war and genocide. Hope @zeets.bsky.social doesn’t mind my sharing this.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

You’d think that at some point a party of government might try identifying a problem with our society and working out a way of actually reducing that problem then explain it clearly. That would be a fine thing.

Dutton's policy is to give people who can already afford to enter the housing market a tax payer subsidy for five years on the repayments they can already afford to make. It does not increase supply, help lower income people get a deposit, or enter the market. It's a tax break for the wealthy.
