Any chance Australia could join the EU? We have data security risks, too.

Screenshot from the Australian War Memorial library catalogue which reads: Over-sexed, over-paid, and over here : Americans in Australia, 1941-1945 / John Hammond Moore.
The Australian opinion from World War II. (I've heard the Brits substituted 'over-fed' for 'over-sexed'.)

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

I was curious about the criteria to stand for election as president of the USofA so I looked it up. Then I looked up standing for election as an Australian federal MP. Very interesting to compare. Very glad to be here.

Has anyone analysed *those* social media posts in relation to weird capitalisation, odd punctuation and bad grammar? Could they be code...? #OperationOverlord

If I saw the photos and videos coming out of Minnesota today without sound and without context, I'd assume they were from Northern Ireland during the Troubles.

Dear @heardislandgov.bsky.social I saw this and thought of you.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social , are we “all the way with DJT”? Because I think we Australians are going to need a little reassurance from you that this is NOT your idea of a safe alliance either, and that being blu-tacked to a lunatic will not end well for us.
Thanks for your consideration.
