Was he watching the announcement live? (Of course he was). I bet his immediate reaction was 'interesting', as long as the observer was far enough away to avoid the ketchup.

Labor and the Lib/Nat Coalition have both developed root rot due to over-watering with corporate 💵💵💵 so I will in all probability be voting Green at the next election, be it Federal or NSW. #auspol

Albo @albomp.bsky.social is soon going to realise the truth behind a Joh Bjelke-Petersen quote about running along a barbed wire fence with a foot on either side: "It doesn't work and it's not very comfortable". Coal or climate - which way will Albo eventually jump? #auspol #COP31

Something, as a Victorian and not entirely familiar with the nuances of Rugby (either code) I do not understand.

He's probably going to die, or at least become mentally unfit to stand trial (or whatever the US term is) before he is able to be hauled before a court. Unfortunately. I suspect that he's already far gone enough to be classified mentally unfit, which he and his family would obviously prefer.

Actually, I'd call it more of an eyeball trap than clickbait.

I thought the water was carried back uphill in little buckets in the early AM by the same family of elves that carry up elevators down to the basement and down elevators up to the top floor, again in the early AM when nobody is at work...

You have to admire President Xi's poker face. The urge to break out laughing at Trump must be near-uncontrollable at times.

Senator David Fawcett was present for Netanyahu's speech. Senator Wong and Ambassador to the UN James Larsen were elsewhere, attending the Pacific Islands Forum.

Albo's cowardice in not walking out on Netanyahu is good reason to deny Australia that seat on the Security Council. Gutless @albomp.bsky.social #auspol

Can't say that I agree with you, although it would be nice if we could eliminate greed from the entire human race. Unfortunately the world seems to be becoming more warlike in very recent years and simply shutting our military down would be like standing on a rooftop and yelling 'come and get it'.

While I'm not happy with Albo, I suspect that his grovelling to Trump may be a product of Australia's sheer dependency on the US for support of our military hardware. Cross Trump and the support tap gets turned off, which would be disabling. Perhaps they're just waiting for him to die. #auspol

So, @albomp.bsky.social , why aren't you and your compatriots actually getting into renewables flat out, like you actually could? Oh, that's right, vested interests, stranded assets, party donors, lobbyists, etc, etc, etc. Plus all that US military equipment that makes us a US vassal state🤬 #auspol

Many years ago there was a sort of conspiracy theory that management used to put something in the tea to stop that sort of thing while on operations. Australian/Commonwealth forces based rumour. Can't have the lads turning to 'alternative sources of gratification' while isolated from the ladies😱

But there are ways of feeling a bit better. Play your favourite music more, go to bed a bit early, try to spend less time in front of a screen (easier said than done). I do mindfulness meditation which takes my mind away from the past & future. The present is easier to endure than the past & future.

It's a like game of Monopoly going past the point where most people have agreed who the winner was, packed up and gone home. A proper game of Monopoly ends when one person owns everything and everyone else is bankrupt. We're headed in that direction. Unless someone upends the board💥💣🤬🤬🤬🤬🤣

This ends over 60 years' worth of remarkable restraint by Russia/Soviet Union, USA and China. They all knew that a space-based arms race would be very dangerous in that notice of an incoming nuclear strike would be very short hence very little ability to defend or retaliate. Suicidal, stupid.

When people were allowed to climb it, the life-giving waterholes around the base of Uluru were polluted with human waste because people got caught short at the top and relieved themselves up there. Climbing Uluru was not harmless. And it was disrespectful too.

Allowing people to access their super to pay rent just gives landlords access to people's super. Cap rent increases instead, i.e. treat the problem, not the symptom.

I had been wondering about that, i.e. if criticism of Israel became antisemitism by law, would not then genocidal actions of Israel bring all Jewish people into disrepute? Could the actions of the Israeli Government become antisemitic?
