Well, after being on Bluesky almost since the beginning, and watching what’s happening on the other place, I finally closed my account there yesterday. I’m sure I’m not missing much.

If Tony Abbott is appointed Liberal Party federal president, does that make him the suppository of all wisdom? Will he threaten to shirt-front Albo? Will he tell the housewives of Australia what they need to understand as they do the ironing? Will he say we should knight King Charles?! 🤔 #auspol

Carney: "In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

In the time when we all lived in caves, half of everyone born was dead by age 30. By 1840, half of everyone born was dead by 35. ( despite organic foods, clean air & water (etc) Today’s much long life expectancy is due to science - the meds, the vaccines etc Do not listen to RFK Jr

‘Help me, please!’ Plainclothes “ICE” agents snatch a man outside Los Angeles’ largest courthouse on Wednesday. A tactic that has been repeatedly condemned by the legal community. Painful to watch. Even more painful knowing there are people who not only accept this, are happy about it.

The image is a piece of fan art titled "Klimt Eastwood," created by Carl Tétreault in 2016.

It depicts actor and director Clint Eastwood in a style inspired by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, specifically referencing Klimt's "The Kiss".

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Government of Heard Island Office of the Prime Minister
To the White House,
The Government of Heard Island acknowledges receipt of your so-called "tariff ultimatum," issued under the pretentious pretense of economic strategy.
This is not a negotiation. This is not a plea. This is not a request for exemption from your performative trade tantrums. This is the final frostbitten word from a sovereign Antarctic territory that refuses to be economically colonized by a reality TV reject.
Flip off, you block-headed kiddiediddlers.
Respectfully disinterested,
PM Tuxley
Prime Minister of Heard Island
