Believer in science, wisdom, democratic rights and Ukraine's right to be free. A foe to tyranny, hypocrisy, bigots and know nothings. We shared all this new century with a KGB-trained tyrant, Tyranny spreads. So I want our century back.

Im sick of this being silenced by whatever @safety.bsky.app The Trolls win im outa here - Good luck to u all. We need it. “Evil is not able to create anything new, it can only distort and destroy what has been invented or made by the forces of good.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien

Two Stalks who picked the wrong perch, needed a rescue.

By the sounds of it the Pope will be no fav of Vance or Trump. A new strong voice against the worse of thier policies, cannot hurt.

Trump isn’t gonna like this.

All about about the failed 50 year old Soviet Venusian probe, that is soon to return. It even has an Australian connection. youtu.be/SSceyYTppRo?...

Something about those seagulls in the 24/7 live coverage just suits these times. A new Pontiff and the world say farewell to some avian celebrities.

Seems they made a decision. Tomorrow we get to find a lot about some name most of us i guess have never heard before. For a man with a elected to a position, that i do not envy in 2025.

How the kremlin weaponized the history of WW2. History always varies from different perspectives, our own nations role of romanticised and other things that need remembering forgotten. But The kremlin following Stalin's tradition takes it next level. youtu.be/tC07KEtwwHM?...

“Evil is not able to create anything new, it can only distort and destroy what has been invented or made by the forces of good.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien That says well what we fight when we fight tyranny in this age. They are those who can only raise themselves by bringing others down.

No decision day one. Thought i read the longest conclave was three days, but it was three years. Im guessing that occasion perhaps they were not locked in for the whole time. Maybe now, that is why they are. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya #Putin doesn’t want peace—he wants control: over #Ukraine, #Belarus, and #Europe ’s borders. Peace on his terms means submission. I spoke with @ABCaustralia about the threats from Russia and Lukashenka's regime—and the urgent need for a real, lasting peace. 1/2

Can certain say the pokies did not improve Sydney.

Just a thought. WWII was a of the industrial age and fought mainly with tanks and guns and all that. In this information age those machines sure still play a part as we so tragic so often. But now in this war against tyranny that is the tip of the iceberg. Information is now the prime battlefield,

Tariffs are just being used as 'leverage' for these business interests. Thailand atm is considering allowing Casinos in thier land, for the same reasons, do it or cop the high tariffs. Same game just here for a different business interest. Not the best way to conduct trade and diplomacy imho.

80 years since Victory in Europe day. The end of a terrible war in that part of the world and abroad, yet the Peace really only came for the us in the West. Others fell under another tyranny, as Stalin most certainly was. The legacy of that half peace, still troubles us to this day.

80 years ago today, it was the morning after the night before and the people of Britain and Europe were waking up to Victory in Europe day. Here is our coverage of that day in real time www.thetimes.com/article/ac4b... #veday80

In Kherson, emergency services rescued a man from under the rubble: they worked despite difficult conditions and the threat of re-fire. (double tap attack) Seen many similar photos before, but this time they lived. Photos and word from ДСНС України (State Emergency Service of Ukraine)

Labor took out the leaders of its two main rivals this election. Perhaps for me a moral of this contest, is populism does not work here in Australia atm. A nice thing to know. The world is complicated and nuanced, and populism is never that. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Kissinger's dream, and not talking Noble Peace Prizes. www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...

The word devolution come to mind for these changes. I guess things like the health star rating of food, if you have that there, are also now under threat. Now the Know nothings Lincoln warned us about, are in charge.

From childhoods of PBS Sesame street, to that of only Disney's. Trump's and musk's brave new world. Some folks only get higher, by pulling others down.

Disney by dumbing down folks tales and other stories that were far more complicated and so stimulated and challenged kids brains far more, than the new versions. Did damage that is hard to calculate. Those formative years are the most important, They deserve better. medium.com/@olachianya/...

What lead to trump. Disney did. "Disneyfication" refers to the process of transforming stories, especially fairy tales and classic literature, into versions that align with Disney's aesthetic and values, often simplifying complex narratives and moral lessons.

May 9h is important russia's for maintaining tyranny Ive mentioned Stalin twice this last week,. Both threads ended up as the usual social media train wreck from visit of folks ive never interacted with before. What a coincidence @moderation.bsky.app

Romanians living abroad are poised to help usher the far right into power back home. A potent cocktail of ultranationalist rhetoric, anti-establishment messaging and relentless TikTok campaigning helped Simion clean up abroad. www.politico.eu/article/roma...

The Viktoriia project launches today- our first story. Our deep dive into Russian detention centres, with @shaunwalker7.bsky.social and @forbidden-stories.bsky.social consortium to follow tomorrow. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
