Bluesky’s been so busy losing their head about Trump they’ve ignored the canary in the goldmine. (Pun intended)
Gold pumps when the official story stops adding up — and price discovers it before everyone catches up.

A nocturnal street scene in Loxton shrouded in thick fog. In the foreground, a tree with vibrant green and yellow leaves is illuminated by a striking red light, casting an eerie glow on its branches. In the misty background, a bright white streetlamp creates a hazy halo, partially revealing a vintage style building and two parked SUVs on a quiet asphalt road. The image has a moody, atmospheric feel.

A top down macro shot of several bright purple Pigface flowers nestled among thick, fleshy green succulent leaves. The sun highlights the delicate, thin petals and the white centers of the blooms.

nursesonja • 7h & Threads Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control. This is about total control. O240 Q5 G34 → 21

I'm thinking a military coup is what is needed in the United States right now. There are decent people in that structure who would bring sanity to the nation.

As predicted, it has hit 40°C (110°F) here in #Adelaide. There's nothing to do but iron the laundry & raid the DVD cabinet.

This is one of my all-time favourite films. It has dated a bit but, my Lord, Ellen Barkin & Dennis Quaid brought the heat in this one.

"The Israel lobby in Australia is a foreign influence operation. It's designed to put the interests of Israel above Australia & its foreign policy."
—Former Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr

In an era of rampant corruption, this is what naming insidious power looks like.

First episode of Season 15 just dropped and we're starting off strong!

What is intelligence, anyway? Are there "more" intelligent and "less" intelligent people? species? machines?

Prediction: The Nationals will partner with One Nation in a new coalition ahead of the next federal election.

This coalition will implode & see the end of Pauline Hanson's career (& hopefully Joyce's).

The Liberal Party will move to the right of ON and die.
