Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I am sure he's doing a bit, Philomena Cunk style, to see how wrong he can be and still be taken seriously by his interviewees Or he's just a propagandist 040
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I dunno, I'd rather be the target of a botched assassination attempt than a well-orchestrated attack. (Although the music presumably would be better) 020
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Gross! No highway in sight for those of us that prefer to drive our ford ranger everywhere! And I bet the local communist green council has ripped out any parking for bike lanes instead! All this empty useless land that could be used for something useful, like a garbage dump! Tasmania is awful! 010
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 20/09/2026What a terrible place, nowhere to get a Megachompburger or shop for disposable crap, all just trees and natural beauty. No profit in it at all! 020
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 20/09/2026All I know about horse names is Potoooooooo is a real one That and Bucephalas 000
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Look at mister guessy bags over here, handing out three guesses each. For most of us, we have to rent a guess from a chancelord at exorbitant rates, or even be guessless 020
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 06/09/2026"cisgender ultra-nationalists" feels more accurate than it should... 110

Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I think Dolly really did achieve the feat of living her life so even the undertaker will be sorry 170
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Honestly all we want is to lie in the sun with a full belly. Is that so bad? 030
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I dunno, here in Australia we have both ranked choice and compulsory voting, so it's definitely a lot harder, but if a billionaire miner backs them and a consolidated media supports them, they get further than they should 020
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I'd go further and say anyone trying to set up different parts of humanity in general against each other is a bigoted fuckwit, but the splitting up of queer into separate letters and only 'accepting' some is their way of signalling their bigot meme infection and thus requires quarantining them 1120
Reposted by Basaliskashley (birthday week) 🕸️ @clearlyashley.bsky.social · 30/07/2026trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry 724075884
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 16/07/2026It'd put you at risk of developing PTSD getting stuck in that situation! 120
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 16/07/2026How do we endure this each day, Rob? Is it our burden to view this each morning while being crushed by purring cats and a hot tea we have to choke down? What karmic crime was so terrible we are forced this torture? I envy those who have never seen this cursed island... 180

Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 29/06/2026I had no idea noted gunsmith Mr. Chekov had diversified into cutlery. Next he'll have a monopoly on cudgels, no doubt 060
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 26/06/2026mandatory car-dependency and orphan-crushing machine in the one article? the gods must be crazy 010
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Oh no, I couldn't work out which snacks to feed the dragons 010
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 21/06/2026I don't know if there's any data to support this, but I have a theory that voters reward consistency of position, even if it's a stupid one, over any appearance of chasing the most popular polling position. Maybe it's to do with perceptions of credibility? 010
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Because you have an inherent right to be able to enjoy your passions and be loved by your community. (This applies to everyone btw) 030
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I'm convinced a large part of it is the change in corporate sponsorship from LNP to ON giving the supporters permission and encouragement to change brands 100
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 15/06/2026My brain at first glance parsed this as "Corporates put fascist interests above all else" and I'm not sure that's entirely wrong 100

Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 11/06/2026also the ACT is in the middle of a transition from stamp duty (property tax at time of transaction) to a mild land value tax, which I figured you might be interested in, there's stuff on Prosper Australia's website about it 110
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 11/06/2026In Australia, both the ACT and the NT have some representation in federal parliament, but not as much as the states (lower house seats proportional to population, upper house 2 with 3 year terms vs 5x6y senators, from memory it needed a constitutional amendment to set up) 120
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I think there was also a good chunk of behind the scenes movement of major donors and media editors updating their priorities 180
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 05/06/2026I think the stock market has hit a permanently high plateau, even my uber driver has stock tips for me! Who's this Irving Fisher you're talking about? 030
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 05/06/2026This is why I think if there is a clear, understandable, and consistent set of principles, articulated well by people that are absolutely on board with it, then they get elected. (cf @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social) they then stay elected when they stick to those beliefs, demonstrating integrity 030
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 05/06/2026On the left side, there is usually an acknowledgement and acceptance of nuance, and an understanding that complicated and incomplete answers are the best that can be done. That can sometimes seem like weasel words and adds to a sense of inauthenticity 120
Basalisk @basalisk.bsky.social · 05/06/2026I think that's part of why deform in the uk and one notion here in au do better than they ought to is that to the average person, they sound like they believe what they say, abhorrent as it is. There's certainty in bigotry, and that appeals to the masses 130
