Esso @essob.bsky.social · 19/05/2025ICE agents are indistinguishable from Proud Boys. That tells us a good many things. None of them good! 030
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 19/05/2025Rewatching the show now it seems far less outlandish with the juxtaposition against 2020s politics rather than twenty years earlier. Still no less fabulous as a show though. 030
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 19/05/2025Gary stood against genocide when the BBC did not. The post he has apologised for was absolutely a mistake. However, on balance, history will judge him well. 110
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 19/05/2025“Nurse! NURSE! He’s out of bed again. “ “Just tell him Columbo is investigating, Bono, Beyoncé, The Boss, Oprah, the Obamas, and Taylor Swift, and put him back to bed. “ 030
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 19/05/2025With his father dismantling (among other things) the Edu. Dept, nepotism baby and career idiot Don Jr seems to have confused Dr Jill Biden, who holds an education degree with The West Wing’s fictional First Lady Abbey Bartlett who was an MD. 040
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 19/05/2025The Nationals love women. Some of their favourite wives, girlfriends and au pairs are women. 010
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 19/05/2025Typically astute observations from the journalistic titans at salon. com. Everything is a conspiracy. Always. 000
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 19/05/2025Many women explore their options before ultimately deciding to proceed with a pregnancy. Now historical online research into possible options may be seen as criminal malice and evidence of wrongdoing?!? WTAF indeed. 010
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 18/05/2025They keep us distracted with the public vs private debate. In truth, if the Ginas and the Clives, the Apples and the Amazons, and the Metas and the Googles all paid their fair share of tax there would be plenty in the government coffers for every child. As it should be. Corporate tax is the answer. 172
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 18/05/2025I met Tim in a hotel bar last night. He told me about the time he eyeballed a shot from his speeding X-Wing into an exhaust port to destroy Labor. What a guy! 010
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 17/05/2025‘Never went to therapy’ is as an appealing brag as ‘never washed hands’. It’s not something to be proud of. 52717
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 17/05/2025NYT is weeks away from reporting the murderous deaths of dozens of Palestinians as: “IDF kafuffle causes oops-a-daisy in Gaza”. Absurd by NYT. Not even close to journalism. 010
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Of course Ted wants more women in the party! Who else is going to organise the catering, clean up and look after the children?!? 1110
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 17/05/2025As the Boss says, …'cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run 021
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Thank you! I’ve long enjoyed your political writing and look forward to your next novel. 010
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 17/05/2025The Venn diagram of people who hate both Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen, is quite a special group. It’s a real litmus test for shitbags. #politics #auspol #trump #taylorswift 050
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Just finished listening to Gunnawah for the second time. A fabulous yarn bringing the dust and mossies of rural Aussie life in the 70’s (and some sinister underworld characters) to wherever you’re listening. Great characters and a wonderful story, expertly told. Loved it. 120
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 16/05/2025In the state of Gilead, an unconscious handmaid is a compliant handmaid. 130
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 15/05/2025I wasn’t disagreeing with you. I added it for context to the rest of my post. 050
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 15/05/2025@atlassian.bsky.social This looks like exactly the type of thing the fantastic folks at Atlassian may be able to help with. 🤞 02010
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 15/05/2025Good news. Based on the numbers, Tim Wilson is going to lose to Zoe. 010
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 15/05/2025Zoe only needs to take circa 52% of the remaining votes to get over the line. I’m confident she will by a few hundred votes. #auspol #goldstein 5366
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 15/05/2025Absolutely! Language matters NYT. What next? Describing stabbing death as “unintentional collision with cutlery”? 😡 000
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 15/05/2025I’m going to stick my neck out and say I’ve run the numbers, twice, and with 7500-8100 votes left to count, I have Zoe winning by a few hundred votes. Definitely a recount coming, but I’m calling it for Zoe. 340
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 15/05/2025I’ve run the numbers this morning. Twice. I have Zoe winning by a few hundred votes. Definitely. 010
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 14/05/2025I do not understand how anyone who owns a television, a radio, or has bought a newspaper in the past 18mths can draw any conclusion other than extermination and genocide. It’s all there in horrific high definition. 132
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 14/05/2025MTG. Seen here strongly supporting the murder of a black man. 011
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Trump’s view is that there’s no “you” in “American people”, but there is “me”. When he says he wants what’s best for America 🇺🇸, he simple means what’s best for him. 010
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Trump regime is littered with characters who possess the intelligence of Homer Simpson and the malice of Mr Burns. 000
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Absolutely! There’s no room for a culture with thousands of years of claim to country to interrupt the colonial pantomime. 080
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Absolutely! The imaginary friends of some should never influence access to healthcare for others. 090
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 13/05/2025@nytpitchbot.bsky.social President Trump confirms commitment to bipartisan politics by announcing that peanuts on Qatar supplied Air Force One will come from President Carter’s old farm. 000
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 13/05/2025After all his shittery, how bloody good it would be to see Zoe knock him over. 070
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 12/05/2025This LNP leader selection is reminiscent of some of the Tories’ recent attempts. If not a lettuce, there’s definitely a cabbage or two in this iteration. 010
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 12/05/2025In 2025 they no longer feel the need to try and mask their racist policies. Circa 43 million Spanish speakers in America 🇺🇸. Fewer than 30,000 Afrikaans speakers. 010
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Based on the price tag of the new aircraft on order changes to the Qatari aircraft to fit as a true AF1 will likely cost $1-1.5B and take a few years to do. 120
Esso @essob.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Hey there lawyer friends. Is there anything preventing states from treating ICE disappearances as kidnapping cases? Is this already happening and I’ve missed it? Your friends in Australia 🇦🇺 are very concerned about you all. 010
