Two masters of integrity-free, accountability-free politics

Two masters of sacrificing public interest in service of private interests

Arresting people for saying words that contain no slurs or derogatory language because the leadership of a nation that is committing a genocide and has way too much influence on policy takes offence shows Australia is sliding into decay.

Indeed. "Sorry, ma'am, that you are in a physically threatening situation with a man, but all our units are currently busy arresting non-violent folk talking about a river."

Iran calling the Israel/US attacks "Operation Epic Mistake" is class 1 trolling.

The worst aspect is that it means we'll be trapped on Earth with Elon Musk.

ICE are Gestapo equivalents.
Cruelty is the point.

Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."

"Make Heaven Crowded" could have SO many meanings.. Does it mean "kill more people?" or "Kill more Christians?" or "Make everyone Christian" or "God is a poor planner who didn't make Heaven big enough". Or "promote my tour grifting off my husband's death"...

Netanyahu being on Trump's so-called "Board of Peace" is a very good reason for Albanese to have nothing to do with it. What a disgusting genocide-washing sham.

If your peace plan includes Vladimir Putin and excludes actual allies, it’s not peace. It’s submission.

You don't often see Auroras in NSW, so when you do, that's a big geomagnetic storm. Invergowrie NSW.

A four-panel comic titled "how to get into nature". In panel 1, a person kneels in the woods, looking down at a red-backed salamander, and the text says "notice a living thing." In panel 2, the text says "notice some other things that live near it," and there's a starflower, springtail, ant, little wood satyr butterfly, and salamander on the leaf litter. In panel 3, covered in creatures, plants, and a colorful starburst, the text says "Notice the connections between them, discover the wider ecosystem, learn about its histories, and find yourself following links from bedrock to stratosphere, between biotic and abiotic, at scales both microbial and massive, until you’re hopelessly overwhelmed by the wonder of it all." In panel 4, the text says "Fall into a daze and let moss engulf you." The person from the first panel is still kneeling in the woods, looking happy as moss slowly engulfs them, and they're saying "This is for the best."

How to get into nature.

Not a hint of irony..

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.

Just saw an article in the SMH about how to avoid big crowds at a popular National Park in the USA.
Under Trump, I'm surprised there's big crowds at any tourist attraction. I sure as hell wouldn't visit under the regime.
