I wonder if Deeming will run for reelection as a Gina Rinehart’s One Nation candidate. 🤔
Kinda telling that the Vic LNP are so bad, they can’t even get the Herald Sun to support them. #AusPol #VicElection
On this day did I get wham’ed!
I shall raise a glass and drink to the health of my brothers and sisters in #Whamhalla
#Whamageddon
No you’re not.
‘Sorry’ comes with an implied contract that you won’t do it again.
You will, 100%, do this again. 😘
Martok the Klingon stating: Whamageddon is a game for children. Evading Mariah Carey, now that is a challenge for a real warrior.
Who’s playing #Whamageddon this year?
Proceeds to #LastChristmas go towards charities. The #GeorgeMichael estate have requested people not avoid playing this song.
Time to play Whamageddon on Hardcore mode!
See how long can you last until you hear “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey.
Boooo!
Jurys are back for the Semi-Finals.
We get less votes (10, not 20).
And no word about how votes will be allocated.
Changing from SMS cell tower location to “credit card country of origin” is what started this whole mess.

When you put it that way, a VP making moves on his friend’s widow while he’s still married doesn’t seem so bad.
Neither does fucking a couch.
Disney logo with the words: Fuck Disney, in Disney’s font.
Paramount cancelled Stephen Colbert… we cancelled our Paramount+ subscription.
ABC cancelled Jimmy Kimmel… we cancelled our Disney+ subscription.
As an Aussie, I can’t do a lot to help fight authoritarianism in the USA. But I can stop giving money to their sycophants.
DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now."
ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."
Never underestimate your power as a consumer.
Sorry (not sorry) #Disney.
I can’t be bothered resubscribing. #TooLittleTooLate
I cancelled #Paramount when they fired #StephenColbert.
No money for dictator supporters.
Yay #California.
Not just #ICE.
This also stops people pretending to be police with stuff they purchased from Amazon.
Exceptions include undercover police, SWAT, and medical masks.
Funny how they wouldn’t wear masks during COVID. 😅
A Dartmouth study showed “only” 2% of Americans support political murder (8m+).
It says this isn’t a #DemocratProblem or #RepublicanProblem.
It’s an #AmericanProblem.
I think it’s a #WhiteNationalistProblem.
I’d love to see this study updated to see if ideals have shifted.
#KirkShooting #GunLaws
Pulling the #SouthPark ep that parodies #Kirk from the air (but not the streaming platform) is so performative.
It lets them look like they’re being sensitive.
But all it will do is boost subscriptions (which is probably the point).
And/or, it will make that episode more torrented than GoT.

President Vance’s Seat Warmer has ordered flags to be flown at half-mast.
He didn’t order that to happen when the Minosota politicians were assassinated.

In the last few years we've seen [list of 7]:

7. The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a3j3pu6kl5upgf5ru2jpsk3s/bafkreifdqqj3vwpxzo6jem2cgyfwtvylp3uvaiqluhanyob525tjklldn4)

All violence is bad.
Not just political violence.
2 students were shot Evergreen High School the same day as Kirk.

I want to see him rot in jail before he rots in hell.
I doubt it will happen, but I dare to dream.
For Eric too.
Someone give that man a hug and tell him he’s loved.
Even if his dad doesn’t.
So happy that legislation for a #treaty will be tabled in #Victoria today.
It doesn’t affect most Aussies.
All it does is to force the govt to consult #FirstNationsPeople when they make policies and services for them.
Like they do for any other group.
It stops politicians from being arseholes.
@RandPaul posted on Twitter (X): “JD "I don't give a shit" Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the "highest and best use of the military." Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation?? What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial.” Rand Paul’s post is in response to @JDVance’s post on Twitter (X): “Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military.”
We live in a world where Rand Paul sounds reasonable and has a good point. 😖
Guys don’t realise how low the bar is.
1. Don’t sexually assault me on the first date (or ever)
2. Be clean
3. Be able to hold a conversation
4. Be vaguely competent, considerate and reliable
5. Know how to kiss properly. If my face is wet, you’re doing it wrong.
Am I reaching for the stars?
Shout out to all the folks that don’t have a dad worth celebrating today.
I get you.
Sorry they were shit.
I prefer to call them Unscripted Dramas. They have no baring on “reality”.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch.
Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
