Thanks for the follow, that's very nice of you.

Generally the way I do things is, if you engage me in conversation, and it goes ok, I'll usually follow back.

But you don't have to either, if you just want to read and have a chuckle, that's fine too. I'm highly introverted, I get it.

Thankyou, would have already gone, but a cat is on me.

I think I'm feeling better, and managed to pot some plants today.

My appetite is a bit off, but I've had enough to keep full.

Will still get ready for bed though.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

The real challenge for tech bros is striking the fine balance between completely destroying humanity and retaining enough of it that their billions are still worth something.

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical adventures. These soon multiplied. Significantly.

After much nagging, he has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series:

Unlawfully built, now leaking through the safety liner. Enough fuel to blow Darwin Harbour to kingdom come

ABC News Bot (unofficial) @abcnewsbot.bsky.social · 1d

Groundwater is leaking through the safety liner under some of the fuel facility's 11 tanks, which were constructed unlawfully on Darwin Harbour without a building permit. It comes after the NT government approved the tanks for operation in September.

Safety liner under US military fuel tanks still failing, weeks after approval

It’s totally insane. Greens’ policies are rational, people centred, it’s what Labor used to stand for. Now media and Labor calls them “far left extemists”. Absurd!

Someone at BLFC was wearing a D.O.G.E. shirt in the Dealers Den today.

BLFC should ban fascistic apparel for the safety of our attendees. Disappointed that con staff said there is nothing they can do about it.

He never said in the video that this will fix everything, only that it's here and it's looking rather good so far.

🚨 BAD NEWS

The Shooters are putting forward their cruel recreational killing bill in NSW Parliament today.

Our MP Emma Hurst will fight hard to defeat this dangerous bill, one that would cause the suffering of animals and put our community at risk.
