BlueSky is my social media refuge. I have another larger account. It’s busy.

This account is my refuge from that one and allows me to focus on Australian politics.

NLP on it. Now is a great time to practice click and posting restraint as more info becomes available.
Reminders for following a breaking news story like the shooting of Charlie Kirk in Utah ⤵️

⚠️ Bad actors & opportunists often use such moments when information is being gathered & fact-checked to recklessly push unverified claims & conspiracy theories.

Q: Why are fish poorly educated?
A: All the schools are below C level.

Now that you've sat through that, please watch this video on animal collective names.

And remember how #Dutton and #LNP don’t give a 🤬 about #Climate#Crisis mitigation and how they want to follow Trump playbook to sack public servants eg. scientists that help keep our agriculture industry disease free. #Auspol #Election25
#Auspol Farmers across Australia really need to ask themselves, can they trust Dutton to protect their export markets. Especially with Chin Remember how Scott Morrison's public attacks on China cost our Barley, Lobster and other export markets to China. Labor fixed it.

So I put a quick timeline on the insane Signal classified chat and sure enough it looks like Kremlin asset Witkoff was in Moscow when he was added to the Houthi chat. I checked Russian media and he left 3/14 Friday morning (Moscow time) meanwhile the chat was set up Thursday

6/ This bizarre Houthi story is just a window in to what is almost certainly pervasive. You'll notice there are no comments in the chat thread with one of them saying, "hey is this weird that we're talking on Signal? Is this allowed?" Of course not because they do it all the time.

I hardly believe ‘The Australian Newspaper’ is a credible source of News

It’s a dinosaur that has not been able progress with the times and has been unable to produce, interesting or equally journalism or product for a long while now, if ever

Shallow, boring, biased shit rag

Lol The Australian is upset that Melbourne Press Club opted to post about the Quills here rather than the far right website that is increasingly hostile to journalists. Go figure.

We witnessed America under Trump break the promise to defend Ukraine if attacked in exchange for giving up its Nukes during a War when it needed help. He stopped military aid and intel costing Territory and lives. Australia can't trust America as an ally. #Auspol
