Dingoes ARE NOT domestic dogs, multiple lines of evidence demonstrate this.

Dingoes ARE NOT ideal pets, they require extensive and special care.

Dingoes ARE very important to First Nations peoples, and Australia's ecosystems.

This proposed change is a very bad idea www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
Queensland considers changes that could see dingoes in dog parks
People could be allowed to keep dingoes as pets in Queensland under proposed changes to biosecurity regulations, but experts say the native animal is fundamentally different to domestic dogs.

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

With all the craziness whirling around I recommend an asparagus risotto (the vegetable is in season in Australia right now, and cheap), washed down with the white wine of your choice. And good company. Spear-throwers unite!

Such a bitter pill that it's taken Jane Goodall's death to remind me of how many empathetic, amazing people there are in the world. The tributes are incredible. I am partially restored to where I was emotionally before the Reagan-Thatcher neoconservative project took hold in the '80s. Long ago.

Unimaginable but I do trust the word of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese.
If 680,000 Palestinians are confirmed as killed in Gaza, 380,000 of these are infants under five. #FrancescaAlbanese #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust
