I reckon the greatest service you can provide is to find what makes you special and share it with the world. Dolly Parton went further. She shared the benefits of that with the world through her philanthropy and generosity of spirit. She will be missed.

#Trump is so old and unwell he’ll never see it completed, so agree to the deal to get the funding, then reverse the decision when he’s no longer around.

Something to take into consideration when driving in #Australia. He’s friendly and harmless but can be a distraction. He popped out from between the side mirror and its protective cover and crawled inside when I rolled down the window.

Episode two is a bit of a heavy one and includes one or two things I don’t think I’ve spoken about publicly before.

“Hey, I had the title of ‘formerly known as’ first.”

My friend and colleague @nicolechvastek.bsky.social was kind enough to invite me on to her podcast to tell a few stories about my time in journalism. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/t...

It’s wrong to say one less fascist will make the world a safer place, because the correct word is fewer. One fewer fascist will make the world a safer place.

This is Morgan. He belongs to my friend & colleague @nicolechvastek.bsky.social. I’ve spent the afternoon at their place where we recorded an episode for Nicole’s podcast “Truth, Lies and Media” about my time as a court reporter. The episode will drop 20 September and may become a series.

I saw this elsewhere so I can’t take credit for it but it’s too good not to share.

It may be too harsh to say it’s what they deserve but it’s certainly what they voted for.

The King has first hand experience. His great uncle was a mate of Hitler.

Hey, USA, at least you got your cheaper eggs, right?

The US raid on Iran tells all rogue states to get nuclear weapons as fast as possible because the USA won’t attack if you succeed. It went into Iran because it doesn’t have them. It won’t touch North Korea because it does.

Whether #Iran had it coming for decades or not, I wonder if #Trump would’ve ordered the bombings had people not laughed (rightly!) at his birthday parade?

Donald #Trump has spent his entire life trying to prove his daddy wrong. In reality all he’s ever done is prove his father was right. His tv show was called #TheApprentice, which - if I’m being generous- reflects his skillset. The reality is it should’ve been the one called #TheBiggestLoser.

Isn’t this the exact situation they keep telling us the Second Amendment is all about?

Well I don’t understand why the called in the National Guard. When Uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise yard.

This is cruel and disgusting.

I spoke to most PMs during my time in the trade but I don’t think any used my name. Watching this today was modern-day, grown-up equivalent of hearing Miss Helena say my name on Romper Room. #AusPol #Election2025

That’s stating the obvious. What are you going to do about it?

Not sure these days given a convicted felon was elected President.

Let’s not forget who benefits.

It should be more than that. It should mean impeachment and removal from office.

And pay his workers a living wage.

#Bezos can also afford to pay his workers a living wage.

I’ll keep saying it. It’s not just those who voted for #Trump who are to blame. Those who didn’t vote at all are just as culpable.

It’d be the day that made America grown up again.

Steve Kerr is brilliant. How do #Trump supporters justify the Harvard cuts while defending the First Amendment?

It must be understood though, they don’t care about children the way they should otherwise school shootings wouldn’t be a thing. They barely exist anywhere else in the world.

See it for what it is. #Trump wants to introduce the equivalent of Siberian gulags. This is it.

Most kingdoms used to have their own village idiot. #Trump is the village idiot who wants to have his own kingdom.

There’s a simple reason. #Trump and Tate are kindred spirits.

I hate violence but it is just a matter of time before these end in the blood of those doing the attacking.

Exactly. Those who didn’t vote at all are just as culpable as those who voted for #Trump.

Then why has the US done nothing about any of these issues?

What’s the difference between the #Trump White House and an echidna? The echidna has all its pricks on the outside.

As someone wiser than I once said, ignorance is ok when mixed with curiosity. It’s terrible when combined with arrogance.

I thought #DOGE was supposed to cut government waste and inefficiencies yet here we are.

Especially when #Musk admits to paying $1 million for #Trump supporters.

As I’ve said previously. #Trump supporters did vote for it. But they voted for it to happen to someone else.

There’s no way I’d be going there right now. Besides, they’d take one look at my posts here and there’s no way they’d let me in.

As I’ve said previously, I doubt #Trump will make the end of the term. His age and BMI could ensure that or - and I’m not advocating for this - but given it is the US, someone (probably one of his supporters) will exercise their Second Amendment rights.

#Musk is the one paying $1 million for supporters.

I’ll keep saying it, #Trump has never succeeded at anything. On the contrary, he tends to run things into the ground. His presidency is just another disastrous failure in a lifetime of disastrous failures. His TV show should have been called The Biggest Loser rather than The Apprentice.

What happened to cutting government waste?

I initially couldn’t work out who was worse - those who voted for #Trump or those who didn’t vote at all, but the reality is both groups are equally to blame.

As I’ve said previously, they voted for it to happen to someone else.
