iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It's like a giant game of chicken - as the world further militarises and plays "strongman".

And then you add other figures like Netanyahu, Putin, Xi, Jong un, Modi etc in the mix - all "faux macho" figures playing off nationalism, and its a ticking time bomb.

While two juvenile influential men are beefing with each other in the USA (Musk and Trump), their decision making means people are dying around the world from their aid cuts or their complicity. #auspol

I think what should should send chills is how ridiculous two of the world's most "powerful" and influential men are. And how easily behaviour from insecure men like this, can set off actual global wars, impact the welfare of so many etc at the whim of their thinking #auspol

A reflection of how culturally diverse esp the inner west of Melbourne is - here in Highpoint on just this one billboard we have the digital advertising in Arabic, Hindi, Vietnamese and Mandarin.

As you see Elon and Trump embroiled in messy public beef, I can't help but observe that there's a distinct theme of these "unhinged very fragile & ego filled men" seeking political power - both in Australia and globally. Case in point - "Goldstein Trumps'" behaviour #auspol

Naturally Trumpists are now turning to this. 🥴

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

“A Busy, Busy Day at the Airport” By Ruben Bolling Genius. Click in.

A cartoon showing various activity at an airport, including an extorted luxury jet, an exploding X rocket, a ketamine enthusiast wheeling a barrow of money to his plane, many ICE officers -- some taking people to an El Salvador plane, another with a zip-tied child being blocked by a federal judge -- scientists boarding a plane to Europe, a medical self-educator covered with pox, and more. All the people are represented by various animals. The story is made in the style of a Richard Starry children's book. Alt text borrowed from Mastodon..

Bradfield community Independent Nicolette Boele thanking the community after the AEC called the seat in her favor after a close result. 👏 Whilst the Liberal party continues to implode more into cringe and sexism, prompted by Alan Stockdale being a total dinosaur.🦖 #auspol

Problem over there is that even if you block an account, they can still see your content. That's why its unsafe because you literally could have a case of stalkers or bad actors still having full visibility.

I'm noticing a trend of all the annon accounts who are still trolling my Twitter account (literally @ tagging me with ridiculous narratives) are these "business bro men" trying to act like chiefs online. They started swarming after the Antony green "situation" and taken issue being blocked

Apparently she was going to be demoted to an unwinnable senate rank next election

000

Well exactly. The other two left and leaned more into their convictions- ie still consistent. Dorinda one week ago was lambasting Labor, and now she's jumped over to them. Who's the real dorinda?

021

Journo Rachel Withers: Sort of weird to run for Greens deputy leader/deputy whip when you don't think the crossbench is the place to make change 🤔 I'd be willing to entertain the idea that Dorinda Cox has decided "change from within" is the way to go, but not within that 2-week turnaround #auspol

Goldstein facts: The 2025 margin is 175 votes - out of 115,673 formal votes (3,198 informal votes). As of time of posting. Thats only a formal vote margin of 0.15% In 2022, Independent Zoe Daniel won with a larger margin of 5,635 votes. A formal vote margin of 2.87% #auspol

Dorinda Cox said back in 2023 that Labor was a “puppet for the fossil fuel industry". Only last week Ms Cox said the WA North West Shelf gas project “must not go ahead”. Yet today when defecting says it “wouldn’t be for me to make public commentary during provisional approval stage” #auspol

2215

The statement from Dorinda cox last Wednesday 28th May (as Greens senator) ends: "In the 48th Parliament I will... protect and preserve sites like Murajuga from destructive industrial emissions and keep fighting for stronger cultural heritage protections.” #auspol

1178

Senator Dorinda Cox by jumping to Labor from the Greens has now put herself into a predicament now. She says her values now align "more with Labor" yet just last Wed, issued a pointed statement against the Labor environment minister about approving the WA north west shelf gas extension. #auspol

We have "Mr 305" Pitbull.. ... now we have "Mr 175" Goldstein Liberal Tim Wilson (aka Goldstein Trump) #auspol

Goldstein facts: What happened to Tim Wilson's "Goldstein blue tsunami" - per social media posts and leaked group chat. 🫠😵‍💫 Considering its Liberal heartland, only a 175 vote margin (0.15%) - awkwardly lambasted akin to "a rounding error" by the Spectator magazine #auspol

Mr 175 (votes)" Goldstein Liberal Tim Wilson #auspol

Goldstein facts: Goldstein, which is Liberal party heartland, is now the second most marginal federal seat in Australia. Bradfield (undergoing a full recount) currently most marginal - at time of posting. #auspol

Goldstein Liberal Tim Wilson is peddling blatant factual LIES and misleading narratives in this statement which need to be called out - and noted. A thread 👇 #auspol

100%. An now he's chastising her. Honestly. And media have a short memory.

000

To be fair, they had been useful to the indp campaign. Although they have Parnell as "balance" - which is questionable

And yet in 2025, he had the cheek to lambast Zoe Daniel on the AEC count simply still being finalised and being in a huff. And yet Zoe actually had the integrity and respect to phone up Tim to concede in 2025 - something which she never received from him. The double standards here. #auspol

082

Only an indirect concession was made in a press conference. There are zero records of a 2022 concession call taking place.

030

⚠️👇 Something important that everyone should know - and that all media outlets and political commentators have failed to hold to account is: that back in May 2022, when Tim Wilson @tw4goldstein lost that election - he *never* directly called up Indp Zoe Daniel by telephone to concede defeat #auspol

Nothing to see here. 👇💩 Just Parnell who's an advisory board member of "Australians for prosperity" (received 750,000 from Coal Australia) who ran anti Independent smear - and now conveniently writing a glowing Age article today on Tim Wilson The greasy wheels of political grift on show #auspol

1104

Group headed by his close friend (Former NSW Liberal MP) Jason Falinksi - which said to the Age that he had spoken to Wilson during the campaign "from time to time" but both deny talking political strategy and "tactics". And yet here we are.

The same group which received $725,000 in donations from Coal Australia. and spent $414,000 on just online smear ads against the independents (in addition to billboards etc)
