Aukus is a noose that Australia and the UK need to cut ASAP. Anyone who thinks the US would help either nation in a time of crisis is delusional

Love the shade thrown by The Guardian at Tesla's capabilities — or rather, lack of 😂

I unknowingly picked a side when I was 10 years old. In 1984 Sir David Lange became prime minister of New Zealand on the "no nukes" stance, standing up for the environment and the future of our people. The other side was steeped in greed and elitism.

If a 10 year old can see it, you can too
It still baffles me the amount of privilege it takes to be Apolitical, or how detached you must be to think centrism is a thing when one side wants to make the world better, and the other wants to make hell for monitories and take care of the oligarchs. There is no middle, pick a side!

Bula from Fiji! 🏝️😎

I'll be right here ignoring the world's problems for the next 7 days... Including TC Alfred, which will smash into our beautiful home in Brisbane 😅

I met an Aussie MAGA yesterday.

What I found most interesting was for all her strong beliefs about how great the tangerine tyrant is, she backed down immediately when faced with actual facts.

What I found most WTAF was her belief that powerful and influential women are actually men.

Dear Australia, DO NOT allow this to happen here by giving Temu T***p (I legit cannot bring myself to say or type that name 🤢) the top job this year. We will already be seriously impacted by America's nightmare, don't roll out the welcome mat for it here.
This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.

It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

IT IS A COUP
This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.

Remember Die Hard 4?

America could really do with a John McClane right about now to stop Pseudo President Elmo and his goon squad from "doing the country a favour" by hacking and dismantling the government, democracy, all the things.

Love Sunday breakfast, so good! 🤤

Poached egg and avocado on gluten free toast, with a fun sprinkle of dukkah 😋

Well this is absolutely chilling. I'm so over the broligarchs, and they've only just begun to show just how much their slimy hands have grabbed hold of.

As for 'culture', Carole sums it up neatly with this:

My own opinion is that it's good to signal (through words and/or actions) the virtues that you value; that's one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy community.
