Vale, #BillOddie. The Goodies are a huge chunk of my childhood. Me and my sister loved them. We wore out the family VCR watching re-run after re-run to the point we could recite them by heart. And in every episode, Bill was larger than life, and so much more in the years that followed.
@albomp.bsky.social, you've had the guts to take on Silicon Valley and social media toxicity. Don't stop there. The gambling industry is equally poisonous, and as a teacher, I can see how much it's sucking in young people. Please get behind this bill from #KateChaney. #auspol
Some (fool)hardy souls answering the #Trump call for naval support in the #HormuzStrait.
The pic of the year thus far. And hard to beat, too, unless I see one of Trump in handcuffs or dead on the toilet. It's a meme that doesn't even need words.
Anyone else think #AngusTaylor looks a lot like #NigelFarage before he aged, decayed and got leprosy of the teeth? #auspol
#SussanLey is a warning to Cate Blanchett to never look into the Ark of the Covenant. A lot of melty badness.
Simple research reveals: - Roughly 10% people in Tennessee = non-documented immigrants = 720,000 people. - Total homicides in 2023 = 703 = 10.9% per 100k across the state population - Homicides by NDI's in 2025 = 41 = 5.8% per 100k in NDI population. Immigrants committed fewer homicides.
There are many species of human. Here we have a lightly fossilised version of Homo Horribilus. Known for its small stature, flatulent opining and chronic myopia, HH is a tenaciously minded invasive species. Though hard to eradicate, it can be neutralised over time with carbon policy. #auspol
Fuck the people that brought this in. They can keep their simplistic, marginalising ideologies to themselves from now on. More positively, thank goodness we have a functional court system in this country.

Care for some Baileys Chocolate Chai Tea? Or as I like to call it, Satan's blend?
