This war is so damn confusing. It’s why we shouldn’t let drunks and dementia patients run it.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals have secured a majority government, winning all three of Monday’s by-elections and full control of the House of Commons.

i have not posted about the latest US moves, as (like John Birmingham) I find myself shaking with rage, and I might post something that I regret. If ever you needed a demonstration that the US is a threat to the world economy, this is it. #auspol

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

As an aside—can a journalist please ask @albomp.bsky.social if threats to damage Iran's civilian infrastructure are "inappropriate," why did he say sweet fuck all when Israel was literally blowing up Gaza's civilian infrastructure (& civilians), other than "Israel has a right"? #auspol #GazaGenocide

A black and white song bird with big white eyebrows from the Wikipedia page

Australian Willy Wagtails are not quite so small a bird but just as gutsy, swooping dogs like wannabe magpies (which are >8x their size). When the males are brawling with each other for territory they flare their white eyebrows - when one taps out he flattens his eyebrows down as small as possible.

Bridget McKenzie describes Ben Roberts-Smith being arrested for war crimes as a “tragedy”. 🙄

I think a real tragedy for Australia is having politicians who aren’t bothered by war crimes. #auspol

If a text-based social media site cannot persist for more than a few years unless it has a vertigo-inducing line-go-up situation then maybe it's time to ask why that is and how we can build a system that does not require that

Because.....all growth ends eventually?

Iran president: ‘Just as I was addressing the American people, the head of our Strategic Council on Foreign Policy was targeted in an assassination attempt, leading to the martyrdom of his innocent wife. Let the world judge; which side engages in dialogue and negotiation, and which in terrorism?’

NYTimes Headline: The Women Who Believe That Women Should Lose the Right to Vote Subhead: Adherents to biblical patriarchy support household voting: One household, one vote--the husband's. They say the idea is catching on.

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

Remember when Rudd gave everyone $950 and we briefly forgave him for being a massive plonker? If he quietly dropped aukus, Albanese could gift 15 million households a free EV and we could ditch fuel for good

Are you really going to vote for this shit?

Australia has sent SAS troops into the Middle East while this awful and illegal US and Israeli War on Iran expands. How could the PM not have told the truth about this last night?

The Unspeakable Misogyny of the Trump Regime Hatred of women is a weapon and a strategy

Hatred of women is a weapon and a strategy.

Lidia Thorpe told to stop quoting the vile words of QLD cops who used a choke hold on Indigenous man Steven Nixon-McKellar who died in their custody.

Cop: “choke this c*** out”
Too vile for our parliament but not too vile for the standards of QLD police. #auspol

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video.

“It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?”

This lady’s response is🔥

The Israeli Ambassador at the #NPC claims the murdered journalists were really terrorists. Kind of like how he is a war criminal parading as a diplomat. #auspol

I love being patted on the head like a damn child #auspol

The Cookers are going to be so disappointed. No lockdowns and no joining the war.

Yet watermelons and song lyrics are hate speech.

A politician with the guts to say it:
"No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War."

A close-up of a Great Horned Owl wrapped in a vanilla-beige towel and held by a rehabber with thick black gloves. The owl has distinct rictal bristles around her graphite-black beak, and bulbous eyes, lemon yellow in the brightly lit indoor setting. Her top eyelids are 90% open, but the slight droop gives the impression that she is tired or forlorn. Her plumage is barred across the chest, alternating dark-brown and white, with sporadic bursts of caramel.

What Big Eyes You Have!
