Australasian. Watching America and SMH. Fairly creative when I'm not being lazy. We have an odd collection of books at our house. I'm posting pictures of them randomly without any explanation. Also will post random shots of birds from our backyard.

I just remembered this story about Dolly Parton. I had to check if it was true. Yes indeed, Dolly Parton did not come first in a Dolly Parton lookalike contest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3U7...

Long story short. We discovered the lemons going missing from our tree was a single cockatoo pinching them. So I picked all the remaining lemons. The next day we got this visit, they wanted to discuss the lemon tree situation...... #birds #cockatoo #nativeanimals #australia

#birdoftheday Australian native crested pigeon.
A colourful pigeon sits at a small dish full of seed. It is looking at the camera in profile. It is mostly grey with a pinkish hue on the side. The wing has a band of bright green and a band of deep purple. It has a short beak, bright orange eyes and a group of small dark thin feathers on its head that form a sharp point.

"They could cure cancer but they make more money by not doing so" In 2020, ten million people died from cancer. If you could cure them and make only $100 per person that's a billion dollars profit. Then you can sell them more healthcare. Something that's harder to do with dead people.

The plot twist I see coming is Trump declaring himself the major victim of Jan 6th and claiming the lion share of the “settlement” money.

Let's clear something up. Did Trump take Elon Musk, Tim Cook and a whole lot of rich businessmen to China with him so they could discuss how they are bringing manufacturing back to the USA?

Whatever deal or agreement Trump comes back from China with, we all know that it won’t be long before he hates it and starts to ignore it.

The obsolete old school dems are exposing their misogynist loser limitations by trying to “gotcha” AOC. She’s understands precisely what is needed for Democrats to win big in the Nov midterms. She’s wisely looking forward, not backwards. She’s a very wise truth teller. #Pinks #Voices4Victory

Honestly. Some days I think about starting an e-commerce site just to grift MAGA. I mean why not? They are easy pickings. I could just buy the cheapest android phones on the market. Stamp Trump on them and sell them at the latest iPhone prices.
