'Sergey, open the window it's so stuffy in here.'

'I don't really want to, Mr President.'

'Please. The fresh air will do you good.'

Hello, I’ve wandered back here after months away. I found engagement very hard to find.

Please let me know if I should persevere.

I’m hilarious and empathetic and handsome … but might lack self awareness.

Thank you very much David. I really appreciate your words.

I think you already have your answer.

Sending good wishes - however empty and tokenistic that sounds - to parents everywhere, who tonight are holding their kids tight, whispering words of reassurance
and trying not to succumb to desperation and fear.

Politicians start wars.
Civilians die in them.

Dear Albo, don’t join a Donald Trump war. It’s not our war. And he’s no friend.

Thanks.

I am really proud to be an Australian tonight. And I don’t say that lightly.

This election result is good news for a worried world, wondering if democracy is floundering.

It isn’t.

Dear Patrick O'Donoghue, you should be ashamed for writing this rubbish.

You give him too much credit for this chaos being somehow, strategic.

I am yet another West Australian who thinks JD Vance is a knob.

There's quite a 'know a knob when we see one," community here.

Anywhere else?

About the rise of fascist America.

Don’t get used to it, exhausted by it, indifferent to it. Dont ignore it or find it funny.
Fight it.
End it.

Restore democratic principles.

Thanks for reading.

In the race to be the worst human on Earth, Elon Musk is leading a packed field.

I’ve finally reassessed the value of the Commonwealth and insist Melbourne now bid to host the next games.

It will be good practice for like minded people to huddle together in a safe part of the world.

Peter Dutton, I have no difficulty being a proud Australian. I love this place and its people.

It is you I am not proud of.
Your willingness to create division, politicise a crisis, exaggerate a threat and create fear and tension and blame.

I am not proud of you. You do not do our country proud.

Djokovic mid match injuries and the tactical opportunities they represent are becoming like Trump assassination attempts.

Deeply concerning, but only if true.

A great day to remind the world of the benefits of compulsory voting.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie etc ...

I just want to watch the tennis, but everyone seems more interested in shouting at everyone else.

Through megaphones.

Quiet please.

Nosferatu.
Delicious. Made of ham.
And rats.

Time is not running out.
Australia does not need saving.

In case you were wondering, or someone is seeking to implant that narrative.

Sunday morning.
South Fremantle
Western Australia.

Blue sky indeed.

Fever filled maggots.

How community independent campaigns actually work I’m standing in Yulecart Memorial Hall on the Dartmoor-Hamilton Road, just west of Hamilton, Victoria. The building is 100 years old, made of bluestone and well used to community action. On the front ...

Australia is so lucky to have this get-out-of-jail-free movement. Other countries are trapped by the duopoly. "The community independents movement is motivated by a shared sense that our democracy is not delivering the benefits it could or should." www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/19958/...

Thanks to those who have signed up.

It's going to be hilarious, hope filled and cynicism defying around here.

Has anyone read a “Margaret Court snubbed at Australian Open.” story yet?

Surely someone’s written it by now.
@tennisaustralia.bsky.social

I took threads to be a sign Mark Zuckerberg was seeking some kind of redemption.

This latest display of outrageous cynicism merely reminds us how foolish we are to have any faith or respect for the 21st century oligarchs.

They thrive on damage.

The populist playbook. The richest (and the most selfish) man in the world pretending to care for impoverished working class women

If you fall for this, there’s no hope for you

I’m not going to repost this because I so want it to not be true.

Why do you report it?

Not if his brain starts dribbling out his ears beforehand. Here’s hoping.

Each day I take a modicum of comfort that Elon Musk is sliding ever further into brain rotting madness.

To the rest of you, happy Monday and all good wishes for the week ahead.
