Still getting used to having some public holidays off.
Constantly surprised by how many people are out and about, taking my parking spots and sitting at my pub table.
You made a powerful enemy today, friend.
#pubsoflaunceston
Just some dude sitting at a little table by the window in the pub I don’t get to go to as often since I stopped doing shift work. Good luck to him. I hope he’s enjoying the view of people occasionally turning the wrong way up the one way street.

As a traditionalist, I’m outraged.
14th of October is already National Desserts Day and that’s what it should stay; just Desserts Day!
This administration’s war on desserts is undemocratic.
Make America Delicious Again! 🍎🥧🇺🇸🫡

Just found this on X from 20 hours ago (even the 50% is the same!) so maybe this is real..? Could have sworn it was a joke when I thought of it but I wasn’t even being original.

Australia debt context.
Not even in the top100 debt to GDP nations.
We can afford to spend to make lives of the working class better.
The spending control conversation is just class war propaganda; we can afford smart, targeted investment in health, education, etc.

Knowing Tim Wilson’s passion for deregulation and letting the market rule, I have replaced him with AI.
No need to watch the #insiders interview because here is the AI prediction. #efficiencygains #auspol

Me : Will Smith
MSM : Chris Rock
International Law : Jada’s name
#insiders
(Read the alt text)
Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars for insulting his partner, Jada, whilst simultaneously displaying a complete disregard for the rule of law, which is where I hope this metaphor breaks down. It’s how I feel when I hear someone casually disrespecting international law by ignoring the historical and contemporary breaches committed by the world’s leading global perpetrator, the USA, or the middle east’s chief cause of instability, Zionism. It is a violent image which I have chosen, and I do not support Smith’s macho bullshit response. I used this image deliberately though. Straight after the discussion about Iran / Israel and the illegality of US action in unilaterally bombing Iran, the discussion turned to violence and disrespect against women and girls by men and boys. Plibersek pointed out that boys are being raised on harmful Images and messages through social media. Ironic to the point of self-satire, given that international law is attacked by an endless stream of disrespect and the glorification of one-sided violence by global bullies and their sycophants is largely unchallenged by our politicians and media, both social and mainstream. When politicians and media speak about international law without holding all accountable to the same rules, for their own actions, it is enabling the violence of bullies. It is normalising violence on the international scale. Scale this down and we have the same problem. Is it any wonder that there is a duplication of violence on the personal level? To bastardise John Lennon, “might is right if you want it.” Hypocrisy is the universal yardstick. By its measure we are small and shrinking.

Things I would miss if I went vegan… burgers, laksa, cheese toasties, and sausages.
#vegan #tasvegan
The Pixie Pollen burger at Burger Got Soul Sandy Bay (now closed) and a bottle of Little Creatures pale ale. I now avoid the Little Creatures as a sponsor of the Melbourne Cup. The Pixie Pollen was a fave of mine. Tempura tofu, spicy satay, coconut & coriander sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumber, snow pea shoots & vegan soul mayo. A bowl of vivid orange laksa, with bright green broccoli floating on top, and tofu and mock chicken peeking through the surface. This laksa was from the popular Lotus Thai Vegan House, who made some of the most amazing, flavourful Thai food I ever had. Their laksa and their dumplings were next level. Sadly, they join the ranks of vegan restaurants and takeaways in lutruwita/Tasmania who closed despite their popularity, just because it was time to do something else, like VegOut on George in Launnie and Veg Bar in nipaluna/Hobart. Thanks for the good food times, legends. A golden brown toasted mushroom and cheese sour dough sanga with a chorizo on the side, from The Old Garage in Camberwell, Victoria. I’m glad I don’t live near there or I would be broke and unable to stand. A simple home cooked meal at my mum’s house in Adelaide. Garden salad sprinkled with pepperberry salt, fried halloumi, fried mushrooms and a couple of bangers. I can’t remember but I think they may have been Buds Italian seasoned sausages. Haven’t seen those for a while but they were very good. All the meaty, none of the murdery.

Views from “my office” over the last few days, visiting worksites on the NW coast of lutruwita.
Stanley coast, looking south. Tide out, looking along Tallows Beach. View from the car park towards the Nut, Stanley. Late afternoon sun across the beach at Penguin. Looking west. Late afternoon sun looking east along the beach, Penguin. Arc of sand, blue ocean gently lapping the shore. A rocky outcrop reaches into the water.

I feel like there is something different about Gina’s birthday portrait today but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
#auspol #ausvotes
Gina Rinehart’s birthday portrait which had her seated next to Peter Dutton at. Long banquet table, however Dutton’s face has been replaced with the famously amateurish “monkey Christ” face.

The famous Labor slogan from the Whitlam campaign, “It’s time.” But a little more revolutionary given the direction of the country under corporate rule. (The I in “It’s” is a Molotov cocktail.) 😊

An Australian Unions post about Dutton’s promise to kowtow to big business (as usual) by removing worker’s recently won right to disconnect from work. However, due to the post being truncated, it states, “Peter Dutton has already promised to take away your right to disco…”
