Bernice Frankel, later better known as the actress Bea Arthur, in a photo taken during her service in the US Marines during World War Two.

And fuck Pete Hegseth. Bea's waiting to come down to Hell and kick the crap out of the racist sexist SOB.

Bea Arthur enlisted in the Marines in 1943, whether Pete Hegseth can handle that fact or not. Fuck these losers.

I have said it before, and I’ll repeat it: the existence of billionaires is a market failure.

Americans have bystander syndrome. Most just stand around waiting for someone else to do something. No is coming to save us.

Politicians often say they haven’t broken any rules when they use taxpayer $ to attend sporting events.

Reminder: politicians made these rules & could change them at any time to better reflect what most 🇦🇺ns expect of their elected representatives.

The US exports twice as much to us as we do to them. Time for some retaliatory tariffs.

First up: American cars.

Our streets could benefit from fewer shit-house stupidly large 'pickup trucks' that don’t fit in standard car parks.

AUKUS was a very dumb deal that scat morrison and spud dutton got us into- not to mention Reynolds. But the question is CAN we extricate ourselves from it. Don't see any journos asking that question. No doubt @albomp.bsky.social has been checking that from all angles.

I wonder if Big Balls and his boss Numb Nuts know that the one of the largest supervolcanic systems on the planet lies beneath the northwest corner of Wyoming and someday will explode with the force of over a million Hiroshima fission bombs and that maybe volcanos are worth studying?

A huge thank you to the 'sandbag army' of young boardie-clad blokes who have spent today at the SES station filling sandbags and helping lift them into our cars and utes.
They saved us masses of time, stress, and chiropractor bills from trying to lift the bags- which are very heavy.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... When LNP left office, inflation was rising, wages were falling & interest rates were going up. Together, we have turned this around. Under the LNP, inflation had a six in front of it & was rising. Under ALP, inflation has a two in front of it & is falling.

Here’s my prediction for DOGE: Whatever minimal amount of money it may possibly save in the short term will be far exceeded by the ultimate cost of fixing all of the problems it creates. It’s already an epic failure.
