Here's some suggestions: 1. Suspend AUKUS today. Say something about uncertainty in the American political system if you have to use weasel words.

Wasn't it more that Alberta voted not to be stupid enough to even have a vote on it?

My phone just popped up "if you've been on gaming Twitter recently", and I misread it as "if you've been in the fifth circle of hell recently" (Interesting it said Twitter though)

Hey @albomp.bsky.social This is what the current American administration say about *THEIR OWN CITIES*. I do not want a fucking US military base in my very-much-not American city. They definitely won't care about us. No American sub base in Perth.

This probably cost less than a flight from Perth does this weekend....

Regardless of how nasty Hanson is, the current promotion of Andrew Hastie does nothing more than shift the Overton window in this country further right. Hastie is very much a far right nut job. #auspol

Also, in honour of the American President, the US is renaming Lake Superior to Lake Inferior.

Time to toughen up Penny on the Israeli butchers. Netanyahu’s mob are treating us with contempt. #Genocide

Looking at American politics, I'm almost surprised that Dr Fauci isn't in Ottawa requesting political asylum right now.

I just had an idea. What if you had a button on the TV itself which when pressed would make the remote control start beeping?

Why is it that we're not questioning that a man who was famous for being the world's richest man only had the equivalent of $12 billion today and noting how utterly obscene the wealth of the money hoarders are today?

Pretty happy to find myself on these lists. Because I actually believe in not destroying the earth just so you can destroy the core abilities of the human brain.

"Reserve Bank admits that interest rate rises failed to open Straits of Hormuz"

Got to say many Americans finally discovering how much of a fraud American Exceptionalism is, is a silver lining in everything that's going on these days.

People going "Don't worry, my dog is friendly" are generally inconsiderate about their dogs. I remember a few years back my then-toddler being chased by a "don't worry, it's friendly" dog on the local school oval. Now he's eight, he runs 100m out of his way to avoid *any* encounters with a dog.

And we are live! Massive thanks to everyone who contributed to this. Reading your posts made me so much madder than I ever knew was possible

If you took all but $100 million each from billionaires, and distributed it at $500 per person from the poorest person in the world upward, *all* that money would be better spent. And the former billionaires would still be living a life beyond the belief of nearly all other people on the planet.

I'm somewhat bemused by the idea that the person in charge of a CORRUPTION COMMISSION thinks that it's OK to have an *undisclosed* job on the side. It's not like it's the job in the country where you'd most expect transparency or anything.

We should be doing this in Australia. Has the double advantage of producing renewable energy AND providing summer shade over all those burning hot asphalt car parks Wonder if it would also help reduce urban heat Should also include all workplace carparks to power the offices/warehouses/factories

Lucky that with another 25 point increase in rates, the cost of a liter of fuel will drop back to what it was in January right? Right? Right? Fucking idiots.

This may be the most trashily gaudy thing trying to masquerade as classy in the history of the universe.

So, Donald Trump. If we look at empires crumbling, is he a Nero or a Caligula?

The USA should immediately be excluded from all international organisations, treaties and agreements and heavily sanctioned until it removes its current leaders from power, and not readmitted until they agree irrevocably for Americans to be subject to international justice as the rest of the world.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social, so, this is our ally, you say? The threats to commit a war crime and destroy an entire civilisation doesn't sound like a country that I want as as ally. @australianlabor.bsky.social where the hell are you?

Countries know to have nukes, in order of dementedness of current leaders: 1. Israel =2. Russia =2. USA 4. Pakistan 5. India 6. China (concerning that they're this low) =7. UK (for now, but Farage) =7. France (for now, but LePen)

The world looking away from Israel's actions in Gaza - doing exactly this sort of thing - has normalised it to the point where I doubt anyone even notices a threat to commit war crimes.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social, isn't Israel the country who's President you just feted here? What do you have to say @senatorwong.bsky.social ? These people are not our friends, they're violent psychopaths.

Sure, there's a country starting with "I" that's happy to attack and take over the entire Middle East. It's just not Iran*. (*look, they'd probably be fine with it too, but they're not the ones ^actually doing it^)

@support.bsky.team - this is an utterly ridiculous suspension - Marie is a trailblazer in Australia and suspending her is utterly mystifying.

#AFL mourning the loss of the sport's greatest commentator with the loss of Dennis Commetti. No one has come close to his humour, skill and all round brilliance calling the game www.afl.com.au/news/1265615...

Yeah, well perhaps you should have a long hard look at the cops @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social, after they beat up people who were peacefully protesting. But hey, you've got a better job holding an umbrella up to keep the rain off the president of a genocidal state. Aren't you fucking disappointing?

Yeah, they didn't vote for leopards to eat their faces, even though the leopards kept telling you how good it is to eat faces.

@albomp.bsky.social DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES JOIN THIS TRAVESTY CALLED THE “BOARD OF PEACE” #auspol

@profanity.accountant - checking in, still swearing?

So the new AWW event is going to be a panel discussion where Bob Carr can't get a word in edgewise while Greg Sheridan slams all the people who walked away as anti-semites? ( I wonder if and when this whole thing will leak out into the main Adelaide Festival )

If Israel has the right to issue (or deny) "permits" to work in Gaza, then they control Gaza. Which means that a large swathe of people under Israeli rule are not even considered citizens, let alone have a say in running the country ruling them. Israel is NOT a democracy (unless an apartheid one)

c.org/6shjczXC6c This needs about 200,000 more signatures...

Microsoft in the latest update I've got has mapped the Alt-Spacebar keystroke THAT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE WINDOWS 3 to open Copilot. None of the instructions to undo the change work. I've used this shortcut for 30 years, but no, now it's Cofuckingpilot instead STOP FUCKING DOING THIS SHIT MICROSOFT

@profanity.accountant - do I swear much?

Nesting offences. My @smh @theage cartoon.

The #AFL would have to be the most tone-deaf sporting league in in the universe No one wants or needs "wildcard round". We already have eight out of 18 teams playing finals, there's no need for more The team finishing 10th is NEVER going to be competitive in finals, what's even the point in this?

Here's me. '“People aren’t buying their shit anymore”: They think they can make you forget what you’ve seen'

AI is not about making things easier for people, it's about breaking people's ability to think for themselves, allowing the companies running it to force feed opinions, which will be treated as facts by a compliant society. Show me that I'm wrong....

A lotta' talk about Trump and that Time Magazine cover. Sonething about a Neckgina. I just dont see it... I may go swim a dewlaps - may help.

No Kings? But Denmark has a king, and so does Norway, and Sweden and Spain. And the UK for that matter, as well as technically Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Japan Trump doesn't want to be king - he wants to be ruler for life of the Democratic Peoples Republic of America. Kim Don Un.
