all year round for me too - I like my light at the end of the day :)

The latest buzzterm for slicing and dicing at the ABC is 'goat trails' as in, we need to reduce the numbers of goat trails (and presumably all walk in lockstep/goosestep on one shining path).
I observed tht goats are feral pests usually shot by helicopters, so there's that. #ABC #fuckproductivity

ha ha. It's pretty cool though. I mean, when you get to that point where what you had to say was so correct, I told you so is seriously satisfying. What else have we got right now?!

Australia Post suspending all commercial postage to the US. Extraordinary times. I mean, you can still send items of zero commercial value (a letter?) ... but... wow.

Bruce Lehrmann has become a ‘national joke’ and can’t afford barrister for defamation appeal, his lawyer says Former Liberal staffer’s lawyer begins three-day appeal hearing by apologising to justices for her client’s failure to appoint an experienced barrister

I wish he was a national joke. But he's a national (alleged) rapist - well, at least two states. Or is it three. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Except that Vance too is utterly unpalatable.

Well, can't disagree with any of that. It is exhausting to think of how casually morally bankrupt Labor is.

lol

Dunno if you saw the march for Palestine across the Sydney Harbour Bridge recently. Australias democracy is in far better shape than that of the USA. Far better. Compulsory voting for starters.

Such a gorgeous man. I remember him when he was just starting out as a journalist. In radio (so was I). He has been dogged. And honourable the whole way.

I couldn't help noticing Luke Kemp in "Goliath's curse" writes of the 'dark triad' qualities ... narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy. My research looked at the qualities of people who step up to rescue ruined landscapes and wildlife and their qualities were: humility, attunement and courage.

Pete Hegseth reposts video that says women shouldn’t be allowed to vote Progressive evangelical group says ideas shared by pastors and amplified by defense secretary are ‘very disturbing’

Out of interest, what would Americans do if its government declared only one vote per household? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...?

I get your point - I did not write the meme.

to patronise women who are trying to be heard by saying "you just want attention" is the lowest and dumbest trollbait ever. Like, it's a pathetic statement. On every level.

What will it take for MAGA to abandon Trump? The Epstein matter provides a clue

Let's be clear: MAGA world does not actually care about pedophiles. If MAGA officials cared, they'd be making a sustained effort to gather the expertise to pursue it. They're not. It's just another distraction.

Such good points. Thanks for sharing.

Trump and his bestie.

feathery bloomer clouds. Ahhh Pekins. The very best of hens.

I don't think so. I think it's because Apple is an exclusive little Western club - while many in the USA are in its thrall, most in the global south use android. It's much less of a walled garden. :)

Thanks for this. I've included it in a letter to my local Labor MP for Robertson, Gordon Reid. I've recently moved to a swing seat, so he actually has to pay attention, unlike good ol Tanya, who could never be arsed engaging with her constituents.
