Dear @instanterudite.bsky.social @davemilbo.bsky.social Superb Sunday Shot today. While the discussion concerned deeply troubling events (Gaza, Trump's USA), it was encouraging to hear intelligent, informed discussion with empathy rather than shallow tabloid trash gossip mag journalism. Thank you. 🙏

You can absolutely take an afternoon off in your life. You can go and hang out in nature. You can watch the way the grass moves in the wind. You can watch the sun set over a mountain. You can walk a trail that takes you to a big granite rock with crazy lichens. Sometimes you might see wallabies.

Look at how much support there has been for Jacinta Price on Nine Radio. 2GB, 3AW, 4BC, 2SM all had pro-Jacinta stories & fake callers phoning in with their support. Their socials full of positive comments. It’s a full astroturfing campaign before next Tues. This faction want control of the LNP.

Australia has been a close US ally for eight decades. Last month our Govt gave the US an $800M #AUKUS gift to US shipyards. We're going to give them billions more. Today Trump lumped Australia with countries he says have "looted, pillaged, raped and plundered" the US. #auspol

Trump doesn't have a philosophy or strategy, but he does have a theme: a corrupted form of American exceptionalism, in which the US' unique power is wielded not to export American values but to extort other nations. It's a logical endpoint for divinely mandated mercantile imperialism.
