The jokes, like #StevePrice’s face, write themselves, but the L/NP & its sycophants STILL don’t seem to understand their #Election2025 wipeout happened because of a decade of Abbott/Morrison rule. This is a stunning, not to mention laughable, lack of insight. #AusPol

I would add emergency/news information that stopped appearing on the bad site. I shudder to think what Australia’s next bushfire season will be like without realtime updates from the RFS and ABC

This is an exact encapsulation of why I moved to Bluesky.

No amount of handwringing in the Atlantic about how I owe some eternal Promethean suffering to the discourse is going to make me stay on a site I hate, that stopped doing anything for me professionally years ago.

Well – no. Bluesky may or may not be, as one centre-right friend who felt unwelcome put it, “self-righteous island”. But the idea that’s why we went is nonsense. That I’ve largely stopped posting on a site that’s done more to shape my career and social circle than the rest of the internet combined is less about avoiding rival opinions (I love arguing with people who are wrong!) than with the fact the site simply became unusable. It stopped generating the things (good jokes, interesting debate, clicks) I wanted; it became extremely good at generating the things (racists, pornbots, racist pornbots) I did not.

Happy Farmers Day! This video of Alfalfa from Little Rascals is about trees, not farms, but I like it. Be thankful I'm not honoring No Bra Day (tomorrow) with it.

The subs we're supposedly going to get under #AUKUS are already becoming obsolete. It's a bad deal, and we need to get out of it urgently.

The East Coast’s about to get slammed today by the first real nor’easter since ‘23 (60 mph winds and coastal flooding). With FEMA in disarray, the gov shut down, and half the states in its path blue, this is going to be a wild litmus test of where we’re at.
