They may be able to doctor reports, but climate collapse marches on.
Old science guy working as physicist well past retirement age. Love the process of design and construction. Socially progressive lefty. Woke AF. Married. Kids, grandkids, large dogs, and everything’s a bit chaotic.

Dude had enemies? What is he, some petty gangster. How about opponents instead?
Blame mental health; then lock up everyone with a diagnosis. Didn’t the Nazis do that in the 30s and 40s?
Cleaning out the pool leaf skimmer box: So. It’s the season of the Lilli Pilli tree? Ok then.
This story is 'out there', but how many other major methane leaks from pipelines, well-heads etc are 'not being mentioned'?
They’re gonna need treatment for near-terminal boredom after suppressing ‘violence’ in Washington.
Washington waging a war of boredom against the military?
Sore point. My @smh @theage cartoon.
And what sort of god do they worship?? Some Old Testamental genocidal freak?
I guess every genocide has killed those reporting on the genocide. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
Israel has targeted and murdered Palestinian journalists. Be direct godammit. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
And the USA has a culture of violence. Rate of death by violence in the USA is nearly eight times that of Australia.
And also The Nasty Party Or maybe the Defo Party.
Humanity lacks the ability to cooperate. It’s beyond us I think.
Liberals nailing themselves to the cross. How appropriate.
Yes, I think you are. Another pandemic is just time away, and Americans will die like flies.
Unlikely as it sounds, my mother used to let her horse lick her empty coffee cup. The horse would reach in the kitchen window to do that.
Your government is run by chimpanzees.
I swear one of those dogs wants to finish your coffee.
What a nasty and petty man. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...
Someone posted the other day this beautiful image - the lighthouses that ring Australia's coastline
So many!
Next guy probably won’t have that weird charisma that Trump seems to have. Lord knows why he has it, but it’s a part of him. Will be hard to hold the Repugnicans together without Old Cankles.
Yep. He wears that slightly suspicious look of condescension well.
You’re allowed to be a bit condescending when you have great hair. Archie, the standard poodle
Usually driven “adventurously” by young males. Yes, tax them off the roads.
www.crikey.com.au/2025/08/28/p... ASIO's intelligence that Iran had orchestrated 2 antisemitic arson attacks in Australia was a hammer blow to the peddled link between pro-Palestine protests and antisemitic violence. Meanwhile, the bigger threat of white far-right extremism has been on stark display
More power to them. I hope they shred the government for its lack of spine.
Dems are pleased that polls show just 37% approval for Trump. I think that number is evidence of catastrophe. It should be around zero. Even worse, his popularity will probably collapse as the economy tanks. It will be MONEY that finishes him, not revulsion at his fucking cruelty. Shocking.
Worse than not enough - it’s not ANYTHING.
Zionism is one seriously evil cult.
This is the worst kind of dystopian plot line. I am so disgusted at the evil we are expected to swallow like it’s some kind of normal international transactional diplomacy. They are making development plans for Gaza because the Palestinians will have been disposed of. In plain view.
Yeah. Dammit, nominate whistleblowers for awards, instead of punishing them you arses.
I’m discounting it. Consider prayer discounted to zero.
We've all seen Israel do the most depraved shit imaginable, commit the worst atrocities human are capable of. We've seen it thousands of times, not just journalists, everyone paying attention and not a lying sell out. And now they're trying to convince you Iran is the problem.
Land of the free, no doubt.
37% approve? What sort of population does USA actually have??
Offical rating now stands at “Arse”.
Nice cankles there too.
When the Pope, leader of the world’s biggest fantasy club, is more committed to fact than the politicians.
Yeahbut wait till the recession begins to bite. Trumponomics will be its own cure.
So how many of these Sovereign Citizens do we have in Australia? Anyone seen a reasonable estimate? #auspol
Exactly. And don’t drink that rubbish anyway.
I’ve no idea what sort of god these Israelis worship but she’s clearly an arse.
USA shares Israel’s status as a rogue state.
Yeah. Jeez.
An American pathology.
Sovereign Cits don’t experience the psychological restraint of the law. Clearly they need some other restraint - like an ankle bracelet. #auspol.
Having spent years milking cookers for culture points, the dawn cometh.
The Covid experience cooked their minds. How about ankle bracelets for anyone claiming sovereign citizenship. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...
Not sure what it says about Melburnians, but I reckon more passengers thank the driver than actually swipe their ticket to pay for the ride. Maybe friendly but flakey?
Tax breaks for huge, American-style utes cost the Australian government $250 million in 2023. But it gets worse. Emissions from passenger cars have fallen since 2005, but that drop was wiped out by the increased use of big utes. #auspol
Israel claims not to target journalists. The journalists are just in the way - of complete suppression of fact and truth.
Lovely shot! Well done.
Jeepers. The man is a fool.
Sofalife.
I’ve let Archie’s hair grow longer. He doesn’t look happy about it. Standard poodle.
USA under the mafia-fascist Trump regime.
You can see two distinct paths here can’t you. Culture warriors push us to expensive and dirty energy while China smashes energy goals. Who’s gonna get the cheap, good stuff?
Whoever gets the most renewable energy wins. Cheapest energy is going to be more powerful than atomic weapons.
Nats, having worked as hard as they can to create resentment to renewables in the bush can now claim there’s resentment towards renewables in the bush. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...
America needs to get rid of the chimpanzee in the Oval Office. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Not AI - photo show just 5 fingers …
Darn. No link. Here ya go. chng.it/BgdNQ9Ycs2
Come on. Sign up. #auspol.
Israel’s war language makes me think of a bloke fighting with someone locked in a room in the bloke’s house. It’s not a war when the opponent is captive.
Anything applicable to a Black Monolith will do.
Now take a look at my recently completed electrostatic loudspeaker. Most people find them sufficiently weird!
USA shrinking before our eyes.
Article calls the guy “a certain garden variety shrub of hate”. Nobad.
Gawd. Clear evidence you don’t have to be clever to be rich.
Gawd. Your country is becoming a real-time dystopia mini series. Aussie. .
Australia’s decision to simply side with the USA against China is dumb. USA clearly wont win that one, and Trump would abandon us in a flash. #auspol
So is Israel still defending itself? #notawar
Yep. Who the heck is the Coalition, and why would we want to listen to them? Irrelevant. #auspol
When are our media & arts institutions going to grow a back bone and not be spooked by lobbyist letters making vexatious and defamatory claims. Have we learned nothing ? Are these institutions more concerned about cranky letter writers than war crimes they seek to distract from?
Aussies are so obsessed with real estate as wealth that I’m going to start telling people I’m not just living in my old home, I’m really land banking.
Two guys sitting at a table in the cafe while I munch my breakfast. They’re planning how to make a fortune in some real estate development. Of course they are: it’s about the only thing Aussies think about. Sigh.
How about this for a counter binary: You’re either opposed to the genocide or you’re a chunt. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...
Ohhhhhh. That’s absolutely not the same thing.
Agreed. And listening to Tim Wilson on insiders was exactly the same. Vacuous nonsense.
Hahaha! Yes. 2 x 0 still = 0.
Glad there’s a protest there - if the Israelis were lockstep behind Netanyahu then antisemitism would be an obligation on all moral people.
Covid really did bugger their brains. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...
It only red tape that stands between people and some bloody great hole in the ground.
I thought Wilson was a mess. Nothing to say, no policies.
Yep. I thought he was a complete vacuum this morning.
Hell no. The IDF has probably killed more of its own people than their supposed enemies have.
Only 72%‽ WTF is wrong with you Americans‽ * *Note use of the interrobang? One of my favourites.
Exactly. Bloody war criminals can all report to The Hague.
It’s in the contract between Man and Dog.
So Tim Wilson has no policy ideas, and just word salad. I thought he was quite unimpressive. #auspol #insiders.
Dog pretzel.
Sitting slouched in a chair when my very large dog walks around the back of the chair and sniffs my bald patch. That’s an odd sensation I gotta say.
In Trump V1 about 92% of the Tarif revenue was handed to farmers as compensation. Trumponomics. It just doesn’t make sense.
Damn right. Taxing EVs is something only knuckle-draggers would do.
I mean, if you’re worried about falling revenue, the govt could just stop giving away $10bn in fuel tax credits, which even the OECD says is just an industry subsidy that should be dumped. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Next; Politicians panic because China has all this cheap energy.
