So… This Trump fella: • Suggests ethnic cleansing (Gaza) • Makes a big noise annexing states that he wants (Greenland; Panama) • Associates with someone who throws out not one, but two, *ahem* “Roman salutes”. And apparently he’s [checks notes] “not a fascist / Nazi.” ACTIONS:words.

A photo I posted of graffiti in Syria in 2014. "One day the war will be over and I will return to my poem" I hope they will return to their poem

When did we start attributing Plato's falacies in logic to a Soviet invention? Tell me we're not trying to start a redscare on the left.

Though I don’t really gamble. I’d wager BlueSky will hit 20,000,000 users in the next 24 hours… bcounter.nat.vg?utm_source=s...

Henceforth, I shall be referring to Peter Dutton as “Peter Duttno”. (Feel free to call me out when I slack off.) He was the figurehead for a campaign filled with blatant lies and fear mongering . Life must be difficult when everything is so scary, eh, Pete? Sad, sad outcome.

14/10/23. A majority “Yes” vote to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voice to parliament in Australia is my fervent wish. But I fear it is our “Brexit moment”. The real danger is will show the world, but never admit to ourselves, that racism is deeply ingrained in our society. 1/n

Horrible boast and evidence of greed. If you are interested in prefrontal cortex I published Understanding the Prefrontal Cortex (OUP) in 2021 during Covid. So it has not sold as many copies as I would like to keep me in comfort in retirement. Our son thinks I should be more assertive!

I finally dumped Twitter/X. My timeline was increasing choked with RW vitriol. And, you know, “the standard you walk past…” and all that. Spookily, within a couple of weeks I get a Bluesky invite code. Coincidence, obviously. But a welcome one. Hello to all, including those I previously followed.
