Lefty from halfway to Antarctica. Passionate about the environment, human rights, animal welfare, and politics.
And Keith thinks he'll attract possible hookups? 🤪

Yes, I use Libby, through our local library here in Tasmania. I hadn't realised I could link in to other libraries! I think I'll be doing some more exploring!

I retired from teaching in high schools last year. It was an accepted thing to allow students to use headphones for audio versions of the texts in senior classes.

You have to wonder what he was doing with his time, to not know anything about anything...

And then there's the argument about audio books. Due to ongoing eye issues, I find even with large print texts, I can only manage reading in short bursts. So, I listen to audio books - in the garden, feeding the horses, driving (LOTS of driving!)...

Edgar is what you get when you wean your children straight onto drinks loaded with red colouring and sugar. There's no rational reasoning in his argument, but he *thinks* he's so smart he has all the answers!

And return the thousands of kidnapped children...😢

Indeed! I retired from teaching in high schools here in Australia last year. There would have been numerous parent/senior staff meetings for a child who consistently behaved the way the Dumpster does. Quite possibly even transferred to Tier 4 - a special setting for very difficult children.

This is marvellous!

'Securing a "deal" in Gaza... fixed your comment. They're already blowing each other up again, and Israeli settlers are terrorising Gazan farmers in the west bank, killing livestock and destroying crops, then just moving on. But sure, the Dumpster has done a terrific job...*heavy sarcasm*

Yes! When he sticks to a script, the Dumpster sounds like a kid giving a science report. When he strays off script, he's completely unintelligible- and I've just retired from over 4 decades of decoding high school kids' responses.

She's being trolled magnificently on her own page! 😂

Too scared of Trump threatening to pull their broadcasting license, for actually catering to their varied audience? Restructuring.... yeah, riiight.... more like, running scared of being accused of *shock,horror* employing a diverse pool of presenters and journalists.

There's a delicious irony on this!
October 20, 2025 at 1:15 AM
Your comment is ludicrous. And just nasty. You know that doesn't happen.

Tell me.. what IS it with The 👍 in various MAGA +The Dumpster photos?

Yet again, a Republican doing what they do best - lie. There is NO evidence to suggest that millions of people were paid to turn out to protest about an increasingly fascist regime.

Wait... the USA, Russia & UK didn't uphold their end of the agreement signed in 1994 to persuade Ukraine to give up its stockpile of nuclear weapons. Ukraine was promised protection. I'm sure you can get this article read to you...Budapest Memorandum - Wikipedia share.google/3zyFXLiS7SSh...

I'm on the other side of the planet, and I knew about the devastating storms days ago... it's taken this long for any statement from the White House?

Do the maths on WHY the Dems are not voting with Republicans. In case you're confused, a basic point is the effect the bill will have on medical insurance. This article will help you -

Why has the US government shut down and what does it mean?
The US government shutdown began after Republicans and Democrats failed to resolve a budget dispute.

How awful!

My mum will be 91 in a couple of weeks. When my niece introduced us all to her girlfriend, mum folded her into a big hug, telling her,'Terrific! Now I have another granddaughter!'

We love her dearly - she's most definitely a part of our family now.

I get the feeling from Colbert's monologues that he's going all out, almost daring the network to boot him out before the end of his contract. His Emmy award is the icing on the cake of "Yeehar! Ya think you can shut me up?!"

Thank you! She was the dearest girl who treated everyone as though they'd come here, especially to see her. I have many fond memories - from Direction Finding Dawg in the car, peering ahead, to her Dinner Dance and silent woofing of HURRY UP! I'M STARVING!
