Thanks @mywhitereindeer.bsky.social and @go4know.com nice to know you’re alive and interactive.
How about a drop bear instead

That’s alright we’re collecting it down here 🇦🇺 so it won’t be wasted.

OK either I’m suddenly popular or the bots are in charge. All humans who followed me since September 1 give me a like below.
Bin chicken high dive champion prepares his next attempt
Well said. 🇦🇺 sporned this cancer of ‘exporting’ our immigrant problems & foisting it on our neighbours. It’s our legal problem whereby we cannot indefinitely detain those adjudicated as unsafe/problematic. It’s an Australian problem to be solved by Australia. We gave the world this toxic ‘solution’.

Stupidity trumps science (sadly)
OK you nematologists and helminthologist out there. What are these. Location: second floor balcony in submerged soil in a lotus pot. Accessible to birds and insects but not mammals. I’d really like to know so do what you do Bluesky.
‘My Precious’
I’m not holding us up as great shakes merely indicating that Thailand is no ‘gold standard’ to aspire to. This one ruling is not the whole story. Yes our system needs real teeth and the will to create and enforce laws at all levels.
What a myopic and ill considered statement. I’d love our courts to be a more effective bulwark against the powerful but I don’t see Thailand as the shining light for stable government and the rule of law.
It’s all about keeping our eyes on the fuchsia
Think of it less as a post and more of a stake. Add a little garlic and even Steven Miller will cower in fear.
Damn! That’s a hell of a good idea. Might want to print it on flame proof paper though.

Does that mean you have Trump bone spurs? Get help before you become a criminal psychopath!

They obviously have their shit together.
Ouch!

Nice depth of field
You wake in your box, check your electric box, eat boxed breakfast, grab the keys to your travel box and drive to the big box store to buy some boxes scan your electric box to pay and drive home, take your boxes inside and crash in front of the box to see what’s going on in the world. Boxed In.
Newcastle Against Genocide march. Sunday 24 August 2025
Clearly a trunk route
It was built with blocks? It’s full of blockheads? The namers had a mental block? None of the plumbing worked? They ran out of laxatives? It was the original sight of the failed Lego competitor Sticky Blocks? It was designed using Minecraft? 🧱
How dull of you
I think that’s pretty flash
That’s great, seriously that’s great. However dwarfed by the NW Shelf decision. And where is that climate risk report?
Pursue this like a dog after a car. Thank you David.
Lovely, thank you
Well that’s a pain in the neck
😞
I 🇦🇺 agree with the Japanese 🇯🇵. America, pay decent wages.
Thereby hangs a tail 🤦♂️
We agree on saving the biosphere and not being human centric so joy.
So maybe avoid using planet eating AI
Yeah, remember the days when you bought stuff and it just did what it said on the box for 20 years or even for generations. I know the fear of the update button. What junior intern wrote this update and what line of the code is going to trash my data or cost me weeks of ‘helpline hell’?
Fascinating (words & image)
Ditto friends. We care and we act but we choose as wisely as we can how.

Do you not think it’s time for a general strike in America?
Thank you George. Your voice is important in this time.
Parliament House?
You need to organise a general strike while you still can.
When will Americans organise a general strike. Within months things will be so locked down it will be too late. March and vote for all you’re worth but Trump et al do not intend to play by the rules and let ballots alone remove them. A general strike is non-violent power.
@albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social Is this your ‘Epstein Files’?

Newcastle light rail was originally going to have those ugly and potentially hazardous overhead electricity wires. Opted for battery powered with rechargers at each stop. Works fine looks great. Let’s not talk about the cost or disruption to get here.
Um, irony much?
Wattle we do! 🙀

For our non-Aussie Bluesky friends a bit of redback cultural history youtu.be/XnEqmnOfV6Q?...
I want you to be right but I note that 30% of voters in the US voted for the return of the orange peril and his cadre of climate change deniers and 40% of voters sat on the sidelines. So 70% of eligible voters let this happen and unless the 40% get off the sidelines it will remain on a knife edge.
May I suggest ‘first reached’ as opposed to discovered. As I whitey may I respectfully point out the dubious history of ‘discovering’ things. I’m sure many then and now thought Matthew lacked the necessary traits to be a discoverer.

When the aliens explore our planet centuries from now they will trace the catastrophic collapse of the human effort to survive climate change to the abandonment of science, truth and global solidarity by America’s capitulation to Trumpism.

Your hallucinating and just making stuff up you insecure fascist wanna be……. Oh wait, that’s not you it’s the unregulated environmentally ravenous AI
Thanks for the sentiment BUT when ~40% of people old enough & eligible to vote can’t or WON’T VOTE you’re in the minority. Trump won with just less than half of the 60% who did vote. So at best he was elected by less than 30% of the eligible voter population. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/d...
