Spring daylight saving last night. Nature is amazing. Can anyone explain this? How did my chickens know how to take advantage of it by staying out in the yard until 7 pm instead of their usual 6 pm?

America is considering retaliation for Australia’s recognition of Palestine.

What a wonderful memorial it would be to Charlie Kirk to name the new Whitehouse Ballroom in his honour.
…I’m sure Trump would be all in with that.

Just heard that Mixue Bingcheng has more outlets than McDonald’s. I looked at their menu and it makes McDonald’s look like health food. I can say that Chinese civilisation is now on a steep decline.

Penny Wong, is it too hard to say that assassinating the leader of Iran is wrong? “I’m not going to get into that” is just not good enough. Who is going to be the adult in the room while Netanyahu murders children in Gaza and with Trump tries to drag the west into an illegal war against Iran?

If the substantial independent and maybe Green representation in the new Parliament in Australia has any weight, hopefully they can get an independent investigation into AUKUS and maybe detach us from that awful deal.

X and Threads are almost equally bad as bot-ridden disinformation right wing cess-pits. Aussie election suggests social media may not have much effect on elections in Australia. Good to see.
