Yay, I passed my Bluesky face scan. So far, Bluesky are the only ones to want me to verify. They did not tell me how old they think I am. How very polite of them! #esafety #ageverification

America has now further devolved from idiocracy, through cretinocracy to fuckwitocracy. America never was particularly great, more a case of being the biggest loudest lombard in the room. Lombard = lots of money but a real dickhead. #usa #america

A question for Americans. If there was an amendment to the Constitution that said every American can expect to die by drug overdose (after all, there is one that basically says Americans should expect to die by gun violence) what excuse would Trump use murder fishermen? #usa

Carey is a breath of fresh air in an Australian team that is starting to age like a bad Stilton. A latish starter, so we probably won't enjoy his contributions to the game for as long as we would like. #crisket #theashes

The Australian gloveman redefined the craft of keeping with a game-changing masterclass in the second Ashes Test
Just after lunch on the fourth day of the Centenary Test at the MCG in 1977, the classroom speaker at my Perth primary school crackled into life with the muffled voices of the ABC radio.
Our teacher demanded we stop what we were doing because history was about to be made. Perhaps Queen Elizabeth, who was in Australia on her Silver Jubilee tour of the Commonwealth, was about to address her colonial subjects with a momentous announcement? Continue reading...

These ring the death knoll for Albanese, but given he has probably already sorted his post political life as a slumlord and Israeli ambassador for Zionist occupation,I highly doubt he gives a shit.

This is one of Albanese’s three great betrayals of the Australian people.
1. Woodside over the environment and indigenous heritage
2. US military complex over the entire budget and our sovereignty
3. Gambling industry over the most vulnerable.

Something occurred to me as I saw this. We rarely see Trump or any of his goons use the word 'democracy'. They talk about greatness, freedom, civilisation, etc, but don't really talk about the idea of democracy much other than to criticise the current American model. #uspol #maga #america #usa

Fair enough. We can then impose a like ban on the biggest exporter of killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, bigots, and morons, the USA. America, just fuck off. #usa #maga #noemisanidiot
"killers, leeches, entitlement junkies."
1. formal complaint filed against him for "extrajudicial killing": PETE HEGSETH
2. systematic pattern of self-enrichment, i.e. "leeching" DONALD TRUMP
3. "entitlement junkies": repeated use of federal taxpayer funds to patronize TRUMP-owned properties.

'Permanent pause' may be an oxymoron, but what else would you expect from an orange moron. America is led by a cretin slipping into dementia. They voted him in. They deserve everything that happens because of that. #uspol #america #trump #dementiadonny
Hang on, a pause is by definition temporary. Permanent is the opposite of temporary. “Permanent pause” is an oxymoron, a contradiction. If you want to be president of the US, don’t you think you should learn English, @realDonaldTrump ?

Trump wants Australian data on migrant crime. This will only scapegoat vulnerable people
The Trump administration claims “mass migration” is a threat to “Western civilisation”. But research shows migrants don’t commit crimes at disproportionate rates.

I think this should be read as a warning. What Trump is actually saying is that he is going to act without Congress from here on. Dangerous times for the American experiment. #uspol #maga #trump #dictator
