😄 they may also spit in it 😄

Yoga - you mean Doga surely?? Doggy Yoga who knew...🤣 #dog #dogday #bluesky
I couldn’t stop laughing at this: “just like tiny hands, she is slow and burps a lot”! Gavin Newsom’s trolling of taco tits is absolute perfection! I couldn’t possibly love GCN and more than I do now!
Here are the Top 5 Dogs of August!
Me too, what the hell has happened to the algorithm?? It's just started in the last few days, never before. Unwanted and vile
#Auspol Remember some in the Coalition tried to stop this
This is from @weratedogs.com They are fantastic, give them a follow and support if you can Their 'Dogs of the week' post is now part of my weekend routine 💖
Whilst I don't want to impose him on our Kiwi family, I'm counting on Maori warriors not wanting to put up with this shit either. We need to send a clear and immediate message that we won't accept this behaviour chng.it/mwHgRjfBmk
Done chng.it/mwHgRjfBmk
Yep, you're an ideas man
Stunning
It's still uncomfortable Plus sickening, soul-destroying and divisive. If only we could get our shit together, embrace all and move forward - what a force we'd be
This exemplifies all that is wrong with 'for profit' aged care. Aged care 'veteran'?? I choked on my tea reading that. Note that his firm Allity ran the Henry Kendall aged care (now closed) When audited it met only 11 of the 44 expected outcomes of the Accreditation Standards. Absolutely obscene
What's really telling is how Elon allows this to continue
For a party that went out of its way to build relations with Iran when it was in power, the Coalition sure is singing a different tune now, writes Bernard Keane.
Dog realises when the point has been won and celebrates. #bluesky #dog #dogaday
🤔 If we'd succeeded in updating our flag last century to include first nations symbols and symbols representing the contribution of immigrants, these arseholes would have nothing to wear
Half a year after @whiterosesociety.bsky.social originally published 9 Principles for Journalists Reporting On Neo-Nazis and I see we still need a fundraiser to print, laminate, and deliver this to every "journalist" in the country
Media by their silence is so instructive, if Lidia Thorpe did what Bob Katter did, threatening to punch a journalist, the MSM would be baying for her blood. But because he's a male and eccentric, a maverick and not 'the left' it's 🦗🦗🦗and pathetic double standards. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Some good tips in this for all of us
Anti immigration protesters attacking the only people who aren’t recent immigrants? It’s pure racism, all the other excuses for these protests are lies. It’s just racism. #AusPol
Every.Single.Issue Whinging blameshifters failing at life and blaming everyone else for their own shortcomings. Invasive weeds in our garden
Music Breathe Music Nature if you can 🤗🤗🤗🤗
We need clear face pictures of these Nazis so they can be named and shamed
Anti-immigration march? No, Nazi’s are nazi’s. Attack & destroy Camp Sovereignty (est. ~20yrs ago) part of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander movement, acknowledging genocide, sovereignty & working towards treaty. Peacefully ✊🏾✌🏽 #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe
Harry Eccles Why do the right wing press only talk about asylum seekers, and not tax avoidance?
It's so important and the healing power is magical but I so often forget. I used to find myself at the movies and my ears would take over from my eyes as the soundtrack and musical elements would capture me. I am in love with music and the artists who create it 💖
This will be important in the future should she need something like an emergency alert pendant as they usually rely on phone signal. I know we might be in diff countries but the devices tend to be the same under the hood (been managing my aging mums tech for a few years now 😄) All the best 🌺
The ongoing generosity of spirit of our first Australian family takes my breath away
This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)
Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!
A group of 6 LCC K9 comfort dogs arrived in Minneapolis yesterday in the wake of the latest mass shooting. The organization deploys comfort dogs following tragic events. The dogs wore their "please pet me vests," offering love and comfort to those processing this heartbreaking tragedy. 15/10 for all
We are failing our children.
Russia kills children from a distance with missiles and drones. Those who fall under its control, it steals — erasing their Ukrainian identity. Russia forges their names, their documents, their entire lives. Children are forced to forget who they are. (Bring Kids Back UA)
Yes, my bad, thanks for the pick up
Going back for her hat???
(Psst - Monty Python's Parrot sketch) 💖
I don't agree that Labor has spent 2 decades demonizing asylum seekers, leaders in that field were LNP. The sweeping nature of that statement is unnecessarily inflammatory. I'm a Greens' supporter but lately rhetoric is concerning
“My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece & lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him & his legacy proud. The nation’s health security is at risk & is in the hands of people focusing on ideological self-interest.” Dr. Daskalakis, CDC immunization director
Thanks. My concern about the conflation of the two topics remains
I absolutely love Australia. #auspol #beirutbob
Same
Huge lot of extras too, decent investment, hopefully they'll do more
It got better but the script does let it down. Imagine that cast with sharper writing - could be amazing!
Sure as hell not holding a net 😆😆😆
David I think it's wrong and inflammatory to conflate those topics in that way. I expect better from you. Illegal immigration and support for multiculturalism are complex social issues and many of us are fearful about the protests. We need loud voices, incl yrs,about a modern inclusive Australia.
Words matter. There is no 'war WITH Ukraine' only an INVASION OF Ukraine. Just as there should be no brokering of peace WITH Ukraine but the demanding of a WITHDRAWAL FROM Ukraine. These and similar are the phrases we should use to stop the minimisation of what has actually happened. Words matter
This story doesn't give enough consideration of the actual victim here
Exclusive: Meta has appropriated the names and likenesses of celebrities — including Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez — to create dozens of flirty social-media chatbots without their permission, Reuters has found reut.rs/3JWb00R
Goat escalator!
I am heartened to hear that no conviction has been recorded against ATO whistleblower Richard Boyle. However, it should never have come to this because he should never have been charged for simply doing the right thing #auspol #politas
For those of you who don’t like to open links or don’t have instagram. I downloaded the video for you. If you haven’t heard about this guy before don’t scroll past it, his name is Jesse Welles. I promise you won’t be disappointed. #jessewelles #wellesmusic #thekaelosproject #kaelos #wordshaveweight
DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards
Trust me, when they feel threatened they DEMAND police support + protection. They demand the right to use services paid for by the very people they despise…..US…the taxpayer.
This is Manchis. She's the dog of Alberto Mesías Zárate, a journalist in Peru. When her human was targeted this week by criminals who threw an explosive device at their home, she barked at the perpetrators and successfully extinguished the dynamite before it detonated. 14/10 good girl, Manchis
And another thing... Stop talking about your rights Start talking about your responsibilities Start talking about your contribution Or stop talking
I’m glad Albanese hasn’t met the orange clown yet. Why should we kowtow to the warmongering dictators. We steer clear of dictators as a rule. Leave AUKUS & get the US Bases off our soil.
Like an English pantomime
And he's so wrong on every point Not within his rights Murderer Murderers cheer squad - disgusting The rest of Australia has rights too and our rights say you're not getting guns anytime soon - fuck you
The list keeps growing… #resist #remove
Why isn't the murder of 2 children, and attempted murder of more, the lead story on the NYT app? It's 14 screen lengths down after stories on AI, Denmark, an Arab dissident and the orange idiot. I don't understand, isn't this the most important thing in the US right now???
Please keep us posted 💜
My mother lived to be 101. Near the end, there were numerous false alarms. She always fooled death and rallied. When they finally called to tell me she’d passed, I said, “give her ten minutes.”

Those Reform nutjobs reminded me: "Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab takeaway, then going home to sit on Swedish furniture & watch American shows on a Japanese TV, while being suspicious of anything foreign."
Here is the growing list of countries choosing to pause mail deliveries to the U.S. because of Trump's tariff chaos. Did anyone vote in 2024 to become the new Hermit Kingdom? Austria Australia Denmark France Germany India Italy Japan New Zealand Singapore Spain South Korea Sweden Thailand
Is that the march sponsored by NewsCorp?
pillagers! 😆
It's all they know how to do - hand govt infrastructure to their mates in business and then expect/demand the fed govt provide more funds. Oh, and then join as 'consultants' once they've accrued parliamentary pensions. Sickening, self-interested villagers. Elbows up everyone!
Everyone should flood Lendlease and Stocklands social media and feedback channels and let them know we expect this to be done BY END SEPTEMBER and by done, I mean the whole thing completed. They have knowhow, people and funds and are at construction FFS it's an underpass, not Barangaroo or Metro
ABC did yesterday as in "coming up after the news..." couldn't hit the off button fast enough She belongs in America. Is she besties with Credlin or something?
Goodness gracious. They lie about lies.
This has HUGE ramifications. Canadian government? Microsoft shop. Provinces? Microsoft? Private sector? More often than not relying on Microsoft / AWS / Google cloud with contracts the data stays in Canada. If a U.S. order breaks that, won’t be pretty.
Whatever government contract Microsoft has with the #auspol government, now is the time to burn it. www.digitaljournal.com/tech-science...
Said it before ...would be happy to ignore the daily outrages from the U.S...if these fuckers were not an existential threat to the entire planet. They will not 'cook' alone. nypost.com/2025/08/21/b...
The foxfooty commentary for the Eagles Swans game is plumbing new depths of hopelessly inadequate, mindless, uninformative and dreadful. Why would I re-subscribe for this rubbish???? Exactly, I won't 😡
How long before he gets the musk treatment???
I can't imagine he was invited???🤷 Burning more taxpayer funds. Wow, to go through life being 'tolerated' everywhere you turn up until your hosts can wave you bye bye
That's a good question (and makes me think we should also stop calling bad behaviour a 'dick' move). I could only come up with a whack-slap to indicate a degree of force. Hopefully the good citizens of Blue sky will come up with better options
The political statement was removing it. A flag outside your home is also a political statement, every ceremony, monument is a political statement. It's mind blowing how stupid these decisions are but even more mind blowing when you consider this was proposed, reviewed and approved on public money🤯
If you're ever feeling overwhelmed about the never-ending river of shit that Trump, MAGA, Netanyahu, Putin et al. pour into the world, remember just how many kind, compassionate, and fundamentally decent people there are who will oppose them at every step.

Hold the line Albo and co, hold the line!
Why Donbas region?
Hey Benny, go fuck yourself. We know that Jewish Australians aren’t Israel, we’re not going to fall for this crass attempt to divide us. And go fuck yourself. #AusPol
Students don’t need chromebooks and AI tutors, they need Shakespeare and Jane Austen and the Greek myths, they need the Arthurian Legends and the Arabian Nights, they need constant exposure to nature, fairytales, folklore, poetry and beauty.
Is there a single Australian who gives a rat’s shit what Bibi Netanyahu thinks? Netanyahu is a corrupt, loveless, narcissistic, irredeemable armchair warlord whose entire approach to leadership is a desire to escape personal accountability by abandoning moral authority. He is garbage, and fuck him.
And Bridget McKenzie is an abhorrent, unaustralian opportunist

That is soooo cringeworthy. How they kept a straight face is beyond me. Imagine the conversation over drinks at the airport lounge on the way out 😄
