Middleweight champion of North Queensland. All-time champion horsebreaker of the outer Barcoo, and breaker of women's hearts everywhere. Oh, and sometimes I tell lies.

Antivax=instant block (that's a hellsite hangover, hopefully not needed here)
No, but she shouldn’t have to put on that red light. Great Police song, by the way.

The difference in the *Roseanne* case is that the network wasn’t subjected to threats of license revocation by the FCC. Clear First Amendment violation.

And you don’t care about the Constitution.

And also take back control of our natural gas resources.

It’s far from being one sided.

The Buggles are my new favourite 80’s group!

The very best part of this is that the Labour anti-Ukraine pro-Russia faction will be consigned to oblivion.

I’m a simple man, I vote on three issues:

1. Support for public health
2. Support for those who can’t support themselves
3. Implacable opposition to authoritarianism and dictatorship.

Only a part of it was. Watch the whole thing (ideally on an empty stomach).

The US Army is rightly proud of the role it played in that conflict. Trump’s circle jerk turned it into a punchline, which is one of the worst aspects of the whole cockup.

You don’t have the first clue about that of which you speak, do you?

The quantity of F16s alone in storage at AMARG for ultimate disposal via destruction or conversion to target drones would make the Ukrainian Air Force larger than what’s left of Russia’s fighter force.

‘They don’t have that much left’

One word: AMARG

What a fucking dickhead.

How the entire continental United States has not shrivelled up into a tiny little ball of embarrassment is completely beyond me.

We’ve been Starlink users for two years. A tech is booked in to commission our replacement terrestrial broadband service next week. It’s taken me since January to work out how to do it, but it’s done.

Damn near pissed myself laughing at this.

So if you don’t like my language, tough shit - block me.

The comment I was responding to - not yours - was dismissing vaccines and positing sanitation as the sole cause.

As someone who has had two cousins suffer devastating consequences and an older sister die from diseases that didn’t have vaccines but now do, I have zero tolerance for vax denialism.
June 5, 2025 at 6:46 AM
Fucking bullshit. Sanitation, although imprtant, does not help with diptheria, measles, smallpox, pertussis and a host of other infectious diseases.
June 5, 2025 at 5:50 AM
100% in this context was shorthand for ‘damn straight’.

Feck me sideways…
June 5, 2025 at 5:48 AM
Whatever.

Sanitation alone would not have come close to producing the massive improvement in infant life expectancy by the beginning of the Second World War.

There is a direct causal link between vaccination and declining death rates. Not the only one, but a dominant one.
June 5, 2025 at 5:43 AM
Yeah, let’s trust astrology instead.

Feck me sideways…
June 3, 2025 at 11:22 AM
100% causal. Diphtheria, smallpox and polio slaughtered massive numbers of infants before the 20th century. You can go to 19th century cemeteries and track diptheria plagues by the numbers of children from one family who died within weeks of each other.

So the Russian bots have finally arrived on Bluesky.
May 30, 2025 at 11:25 AM
What the fuck indeed.

This is foreign interference in the democratic process of a sovereign country. If it was any other country engaging in this hostile act, the provocateur would be expelled.
