I had a rose. A climber called Kiss Me Kate. Over 3 metres tall. She had beautiful flowers but in 4 years she gave me a total of 2 flowers. While waiting for TC Alfred I decided that Kate’s time was up. She gave me one last Kiss before leaving. I believe it’s called a Liverpool Kiss 💋

Anybody else feel like this administration is shrinking your telomeres?

Excuse my naivety. Is the “ability to make money” actually equivalent to “ managing the economy”? One is about self-interest. The other is about public good. And I don’t think Dutton understands the concept of “public good” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Very sad for all my colleagues at #USAID and all the wonderful ag development and human health projects they have supported worldwide

Hey America Your Government is run by lying scumbags and Russian assets. Any other interpretations? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Dinner is served.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

When Grok, the AI bot of Elon Musk was asked “WHO ARE THE TOP FIVE INDIVIDUALS or ENTITIES RESPONSIBLE FOR SPREADING DISINFORMATION on X?"

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

When the nicest people on earth beat you at ice hockey, boo your national anthem and gives the whole world joy - you have got a serious problem.

And the tRump deal of the century is “give me half your minerals and give Russia half your country”. Only the mafia make deals like that #Ukraine

A challenge I could sign up for

Too funny and too sad all at the same time

Gardasil has and will continue to save many human lives. So I guess if you don’t think that’s a good thing maybe reconsider your attitude towards human and specifically female health

Denmark offers to buy California. Yet another reason to love the Danes who will “bring Hygge to Hollywood” #Greenland

I think the pot is calling the kettle names www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Well I never thought I would be in a #ValentinesDay special anything - let alone a podcast! Still it's a great way to make our bromance public @sorgguy.bsky.social

The richest man on earth, Elon Musk is trying to kill a department, USAID, that helps the poorest people on earth Because USAID has been investigating Musk and his Starlink company — and their ties to Vladimir Putin and Russia THAT is why Musk is attacking USAID

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

True.

So that’s what they did with the billions. Totes STOLLEN

US cedes ground to China with ‘self-inflicted wound’ of USAid shutdown, analysts say

How can we remove any shred of remaining trust the US has internationally? Hey I’ve got an idea - let’s disband USAID

Well he's either: A. a genius or B. a seriously dumb man-child who hasn't the intelligence to understand the consequences of his actions. My vote is for B. Actually seeing we are in a post-democracy dystopian nightmare world I'm calling all votes for B and if you think otherwise, you get a B too!

This Golden Orb Weaver Spider wasn’t too happy that I walked face first into her intricate web. Now it’s reduced to a single rope of golden silk. The old thing has a leg span bigger than my handspan 🕷️
