Melbourne, Australia. I love gardens and scenery and comedy. And also clever political commentary from any country.
A question for the Americans here:
If Donald Trump is removed from the presidency by the 25th Amendment, will he still be able to pardon people?

Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.

Thousands of freshly spray-tanned punters have descended on Flemington with an unspoken yet universally understood goal of getting absolutely, unapologetically Barnaby-ed.
Dolled-Up Bogans Descend on Racetrack With Singular Goal of Getting Barnaby-Ed — The Shovel

This 6yo wanted to be a "big brown fart cloud" for Halloween. His parents tried to persuade him to be a dinosaur or a superhero. He persisted. They bought him the materials but he made the costume himself, working with brown and beige fabrics, incl. ‘fart-coloured tulle’. #Halloween 🎃

Is it too much to hope that the ballroom will be so badly built it will collapse on the people inside when it is first opened?

Courage is more exhilarating than fear, and in the long run, it is easier.
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.

That's right, America. Other democracies and allied nations, such as Australia and New Zealand, will also be out on the streets, protesting on your behalf.
Think about that. Trump is now causing protests on the streets of allied, yet foreign, nations. That's how bad Trump is.

💔 A series of satellite images shows how the Mariupol cemetery has expanded year after year.
The scale of the burials is horrifying. According to various estimates, Russia has killed more than 100,000 residents of Mariupol.

I’m really angry that Sussan Ley has written to US Republicans.
First, Palestine deserves to be recognised
Second, what the fuck is she doing? I don’t want any shade of Republican politics here in Australia.
It feels like she is sucking up to them

Boat people from as far back as 1788 didn’t bother applying for passports or visas, were set on introducing their own laws, and, in many cases concealed criminal records, according to the damning report.
Migrants to Australia have displayed an inability to assimilate with local values and refuse to speak anything but their native tongue, a study covering the last 237 years has found.
