A pastelly morning in my Sunday/Monday home

Parked for the night, asked this uncle if he minds.

Shortly after he asks if I’m hungry. Then the competition begins: we are offering each other various foods, tea, coffee, yoghurt. Like ping pong going back and forth. Uncle drops a bag of pide and a can of tuna in my lap ❤️🇹🇷

I ca-ha-harrryyyyy the weight of the world … (or at least pretend to carry the weight of the table while looking sad, hoping for a morsel of börek)

Ayvalık street dog who knows how to work the crows 🤣

Bumming around this beach and van for a week now and still a bit to go before I can move into my new place. Hi from Ayvalık (or nearby at the moment)

And a good night to you all

Working from home

In this version of events, Musk is just a blinkered, blundering dunce; a man who thinks his ability to buy companies renders him a Godlike superintelligence, pathologically resistant to the idea that some things are more complex than purchasing websites and turning them racist, or manufacturing cars and rockets which reliably explode. Staggeringly, that diagnosis gives Musk too much credit. The fact is, he originally called for FAA director Michael Whitaker to be fired after Whitaker had demanded an investigation into a SpaceX launch which scattered debris across aircraft flightpaths, prompting his resignation the following day. This Tuesday, hours after the eighth air crash in four weeks, Musk announced he was bringing SpaceX staff in to work at the FAA, finally capturing the very agency whose ire he’s fought for the past decade — with the near bottomless capacity for conflict of interest and personal enrichment that entails. That is who Musk is. Not just a thundering charlatan, but one animated by venal personal gain, entrenched bigotry, and personal grudges. He has retooled an entire nation’s civic structure with the “move fast and break stuff” approach that’s turned Twitter into an arid wasteland, tanked the stock of the world’s most valuable car brand, and rendered Donald Trump only the second least popular billionaire in his own administration. Musk is an incompetent fraud, but that quality makes him more dangerous, not less

hahah, thanks Rick - face for radio, hey

"Heil Donald" als offizieller "amerikanischer Gruß" dauert wahrscheinlich auch nicht mehr lange.

Die checks and balances versagen. Wie erwartet.

Die US-Demokratie erweist sich als schwächer als es viele angenommen haben. Die USA werden zum Führerstaat.

That shyster has never cut as much of his toast by himself, let alone chopped wood in his life.

How do I hate EM, let me count the ways ….

@aussiemoose.bsky.social now here’s an old face that made me smile

Drifting in and out of social media, mostly drifting out. Yea, sometimes on X

Moving house IRL, so life’s been a bit upside down lately. Last week spent in the caravan. With returned winter not exactly a Hawaii trip 🥶

But house pics/ news ca 3-4 weeks away

Try and find Şahsiyet - it does exist with undertitles

It’s „Breaking Bad“ sort of brilliant as well as dark

That’s the exact face I’m making too when I finally found a breezy cool corner on a sweltering day 🤣

And the simit carts and everything else 😍

Fantastic 👋

I’m down to the last episode - it does such a good job portraying life in Istanbul. I love this show on so many levels

that clip sparked quite a few emotions:
Remembering the Aussie chapter of my life, the 70s (with memories of most of the 10 years of the decade), for those summer days, the fear and the sparkle of slowly growing into my gangly self
bloody lovely clip

Mild fever last night, enough for vivid dreams. I argued with Musk all night why it’s nice to be nice 🥴🥴🥴🥴

I could watch this rant on repeat all day

I’m waiting for his next speech where he pulls down his trousers. Australia is ready
