What if Darwinian evolution had built a human species in which the pig-ignorant actually realised they were indeed that and would all STFU in response.
That might allow their brains to actually consider, rationalise and learn.
What might we be as a species then!

I heard 'Australia' was forced to buy that USA rubbish or our wheat would be boycotted. Allies aren't they great?

It's not just #FreeviewTV channels that are unwatchable, we've canceled our streaming subscriptions too because it is all crap US formula with carefully coiffeured renegade heroes in the CIA/FBI/Military saving us all.
Pfffffftttt!
And then there the ads, ad nauseum for products we just don't want
So not only does 9 Network Australia have that crap Golden Bachelor on.
They also still have that version of Love Island in Australia.
The shit Australian commercial tv throws at it's viewers. Is an assault to every Australian's intelligence.
Well. Australian's with intelligence that is.

The Albanese govt has dumped environmental laws in a desperate bid to keep #AUKUS going.

But America has 𝘯𝘰𝘵 increased their construction rate anywhere near what would be required to meet theirs and our requirements.

To save everyone's time, Labor should change the title of their legislation 'reforms' from Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act to
Mining Industry Profits Protection Act. #auspol
Labor's EPBC "reforms":
👎native veg clearing loopholes unaddressed
👎NO climate trigger
👎NO fully independent EPA decision maker
👎bilateral agreements devolving Fed powers to states/territories
👎allowing pay-to-destroy enviro offsets

are ESPECIALLY BAD for the NT

The contemporary centrist Labor Party is stacked with deeply institutionalised party apparatchiks and party elites who are more interested in holding onto incumbency than actually doing anything big, bold, and transformational with it.
The environment and those in poverty are not its priority

Penny Wong accidentally saying the quiet bit out loud - for Labor the US relationship is more important than the Australian environment. Who do this lot think they work for?

So why does Australia ( ranking 18) in global peace and quite well
In our region want to be an ally with #US?
The U.S. ranks 128th out of 163 nations in the 2025 Global Peace Index, behind countries like South Africa, Kenya & Uganda. The report uses 23 indicators across three domains: Societal Safety & Security, Ongoing Domestic & International Conflict, & Militarization. #Peace ktla.com/news/nationw...

Catherine Connolly has won the Irish presidency in a landslide.

Because you are allergic to truth telling & principled foreign policy, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social, I hope hearing a respected leader speak with honesty & integrity causes you both to break out in hives. #GazaGenocide

I can't believe we are witnessing this. But then it would be naive to include the words 'at this time.' Shit like this has been going on for all of human history. Sadly we don't seem to get smarter. We are just predictable.

Has anyone been having problems with glitching escript electronic prescriptions in Australia? Using the chemist warehouse app to order and all sorts of weird things happening, pharmacist says they haven't seen any issues before. I really need to be able to fill my scripts 💊
