Working on zeroing out all my trade deficits. Whenever I go to a store to buy things, I'm going to demand that the store buy goods from me of precisely equal value. I'm going to be so goddamned autonomous.

Wow. Just wow. How Trump set the tariff rates. This is blithering, staggering, mind-boggling, jaw-cracking, gums-bleeding stupidity.

Admiral Barrie is a top man, knows what he’s talking about.

This is the trade deal signed by LNP with USA. #auspol #AusVotes25 #DontRiskDutton

So what can we do about climate change? Well we can stop doing this shit, for starters. Wholesale land clearing using bulldozers and chains. It takes away habitat and allows the wind to carry the soil away. Also trees take carbon out of the atmosphere. Taken by me in western NSW some time back.

Due to the impeccable timing of a delayed official press release, you probably haven’t heard that 40% of corals on the southern Great Barrier Reef died in 2024 due to record-breaking heat exposure. www.voanews.com/a/surveys-sh...

Lols…ABC hires man who holds fund raisers for people who want the ABC defunded.

Old billionaires. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Israel’s criminal war on the doctors, nurses, and hospital workers of Gaza.

Israel killed the last remaining orthopedic surgeon in Northern Gaza today. Dr Saeed Joudeh was on his way to the hospital when Israel shot him in the head. He was not a combatant. He was a doctor devoted to saving lives. 😢 #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

No nation state is above criticism. You can criticise Israel's actions and policies without it being anti-semitic. It does not make Jewish people safer by conflating criticism of Israel with anti-semitism.

‘One 2023 study found that Exxon scientists made “breathtakingly” accurate predictions of global heating in the 1970s and 1980s, only to then spend decades sowing doubt about climate science.’ #climate www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

WA's gas and electricity prices have tripled since 2020, after the WA Gov let Woodside export domestic gas reserves. Now Woodside want a 50 year extension for their North West Shelf export terminal. If it's approved, it will lock in higher prices for decades. #auspol @markogge.bsky.social

Tall bonnet American utes are DANGEROUS. They should be illegal in Australia. Driver can't see 11 kids in front of the truck. Mock semi-tractor styling is unecessary to its function. An M1 Abrams main battle tank has better forward visibility.

You’d think Trumps approach to tariffs, Morrison’s approach to public spending or Dutton’s willingness to spend ‘whatever it takes’ on nuclear power would force a rethink of the whole ‘conservatives are good economic managers thing’…but I doubt it www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
