Apparently James Charles is in Australia. Given the serious allegations - and evidence - of him being a predator, @tonyburkemp.bsky.social would be well served to consider revoking his visa. There is evidence of a 14 year old being pestered for intimate images, and being sent intimate images.

I remember when measles exposure sites in Australia were such a big deal that they were reported in the evening news and morning news broadcasts. The anti-vax movement being louder doesn't equal subacute sclerosing panencephalitis being less deadly. Measles complications are real.

Old mate reckons brand new bed sheets and quilt cover aren't ours unless there's dog hair on them. I guess it's true. He looks sincere (about being the first one on the new sheets).

The USA effectively declared a trade war against flightless Australian birds. Last time a government went to war against flightless birds, the government lost.

@stephaniekelton.bsky.social How are you doing? Is now an appropriate time for a quick welfare check? Or was that (checks notes....) 5 tariff announcements ago?

Wondering why the ABC, a former bastion for free media and unafraid journalism, has no coverage of the US protests? Kim Williams, who currently heads up Auntie, is a former CEO of News Corp and used to run Foxtel.

One of the most valuable products Australia exports to the USA is beef products used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, including vaccines. The USA can't use much of their own beef products for that because of the risk of BSE. Aus's biosecurity is critical for global health outcomes.

5am to 10am Sydney time is the doom zone. It's both "What's on for today in Australia?" and "has the world's most armed country collapsed into chaos?" AT THE SAME TIME. I'll say it again. March 2025 has been the longest decade of my life.

The 5-4 podcast is great. www.fivefourpod.com But when a podcast by lawyers recommends people in the US get Typhoid vaccinations because the Supreme Court ruled against the EPA in a shit-in-drinking-water case... it might just be prophetic.

Repost simply to tag @quentindempster.bsky.social We've got all sorts of issues, but the fact that most of our public and private sectors are reliant on a single US owned business is deeply troubling. If AWS shut down and walked away there is no redundancy.

Me: "Pfff Great Grey Owl. What a name. A proper big owl has a proper name. Like Powerful Owl. I bet our Powerful owls are taller and with wider wingspan." Me after googling: "...holy shit."

Oh, no way! Really? Greed you say! I. Am. Shocked. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

this video has it all: 1) gang gangs showing their preferred tiny nests entrance (+ associated logistic problems), 2) can hear the rapid squeaky call of the babies getting fed when mum eventually squeezes in, 3) full frontal absurdity of the floppy crest of dad, 4) stripy bum. this better go viral😍🦜

Racism on display. They blocked me after I called them out for their behaviour, then unblocked me long enough to call me a "creature" and try to gaslight me about my own heritage. If anyone else can see where I identified as "white," please point me to it.

The Australien Government and the Opposition have made an ad about minority government, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol #2025election

Fascists and Nazis have never experienced the fear and anxiety that women and POC feel on a regular basis while just going about their daily lives. That needs to change.

I am bad at photos and videos. This orb weaver (New England region, NSW) used a rock as an anchor point. I drove through some of the low strands, and one of the strands dragged a rock up and over my car. Even after I'd driven through it, the web was strong enough to hold and lift the rock.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer's 'Theory of Stupidity'. This will always be relevant. youtu.be/ww47bR86wSc?...

STEP 1: Accost women in supermarkets. DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT. STEP 2: Walk towards her, ensuring her escape blocked by unaffordable pre-made meals. STEP 3: Declare that trickle-down economics, despite its complete failure in every single instance its been attempted, is a "solution".

Yes. Correct stance. When facing an active emergency, the most useless thing that can be done is ask "what caused this." Deal with the emergency, protect lives and livelihoods. THEN analyse the causes and work towards prevention. Laying blame for the sake if it is not helpful.

Just a nice sunset and some dogs.

@ericbanana.bsky.social @bankstownboy.bsky.social do you peeps happen to know where I can get a fk-tonne of 2nd hand corflutes? Doesn't matter what they've got on them. I need to start making signage and Barnaby is my federal member.

Not sorry about hoarding all the best chews.

I mean... yeah. This is the Dunning-Krugerest that times have been.

The Bad Moon rises. Vermindoom is upon us.

Leave wild animals alone. It's so simple. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

@cathywilcox.bsky.social in preparation for the worst case Dutton Kleptocracy, @ me if you need me to firebomb a bunch of L or NP offices. I'm so ready. I've been ready since year 8 science.

#CheckYourSuper and see if you can change how your super is invested. I don't give financial advice, I am absolutely not qualified to do that. Changing how your super is invested is a great way to remove finance from US businesses.

Am I surprised that Matt Canavan, who is openly anti-science, anti-democracy, and anti-free speech, is also pro-Russia. No. Because Matt Canavan is and always has been a fascist. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...
