A few tips for an enjoyable Bsky experience
- don’t post for likes. Keep your integrity and humility.
- if your view is contrary to the “norm”, engage via an expert user. Avoid rabbit holes.
- do YOU need to say it? Does IT need to be said? Do you need to say it NOW? Self-moderate, delete often.

His biggest con ever.
At every stage he could have ended this.
And he can now justify his own domestic terror with his global “peacemaking”. The Nobel would’ve made it official - and he could then defend future charges.
This “peace” is a Trump guarantee.
And the world knows what they are. BS.

QOTL 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇦 @iamqotl.bsky.social · 2d

This is very sad. And very lopsided.
The targeted death of innocents, wherever is a human tragedy.
And we will see the personal grief of one side, and the mass transit of another. One could be “me”, the other is a faceless swarm.
No peace without justice.

QOTL 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇦 @iamqotl.bsky.social · 2d

He wants cover. This is a tactic.
How else can he justify US violence without global approval of his “peace” efforts?
Ignore the fact he has both exacerbated and profited from the conflicts he has supposedly resolved.
Peace without justice is just a pause to atrocity. It won’t last. It’s a con job

QOTL 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇦 @iamqotl.bsky.social · 2d

There is still talk about next year. Unbelievable. How do the experts not see it?
It’s not (just) an ego thing for him to win. It’s a survival tactic. How else does he justify his destruction of American democracy and attacking his own country without external validation? He wants cover.

Wonderful
And
We will never forget the genocide in Gaza.

Two things can hold true at once.

The atrocity is seemingly over. But this war will go on and on and on. There can be no peace without justice.

Whatever Higgins apparently said to defame Reynolds pales in comparison to what Reynolds is doing to herself.
The judicial equivalent of punching yourself in the face.

A good question. Almost. I would suggest Morrison and Tudge surpass her. Just saw People v Robodebt, so they’re criminality stings raw.

But to be honest, all of Morrison’s last cabinet were a basket of deplorables.

With so many comedians now vying for attention - be it podcasts, youtube, tik tok or even live shows - it’s handy to have a ready filter.
The stink will never wash off. Their material is forever compromised.

I think they are now drowning in Project 25’s”flooding the zone”.
It’s all too noisy.
What would scare the s*it out of MAGA would be them switching off en masse, going dark, being single minded, focussed, ruthless.
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

Snap! I saw a billboard for this in the Brisbane CBD yesterday. I can’t fathom how Abbott would revise Australian history. I can only imagine The Dark Emu Story is beyond his comprehension.

Whoever the Israeli spokesperson is on #the730report is at Chemical Ali level of propagandist BS. She has talked for 10 minutes nearly uninterrupted.
How Israel thinks this sort of nonsense convinces the world that they are in the right is disgraceful.

I can only imagine it’s because they know where the “bodies are buried” and its a golden gag. Otherwise I find it difficult to find any rationale.

Oh well. Then the tech isn’t ready.
I very much like Carole Caldwalldr’s comment.
It’s no different to someone robbing your home, selling your belongings and being appalled you just don’t let them do it - for “progress”.

This “can’t recall” statement by those in power needs to be starved of oxygen.
Implications should be that mandatory custodial sentences are imposed if they are deemed to have committed a crime otherwise. That such testimony if otherwise proved false exacerbates punishment.

I just watched the report. I can’t fathom why the universities named don’t ensure accreditation now for the litigants at no cost? Surely less costly than brand-damaging litigation?

Agree. Most aren’t grinning Artful Dodger types. There is hunger, desperation and an awareness no one is watching (out for) them.
I can understand not abiding by a law in a place which seems to have so much and not really care about looking after it.

Mostly, I don’t think this deck-chair shift will make a lick of difference to the LNP prospects. In fact, it will make them even more unelectable.
He is an avatar for the worst of the MAGA characters. We just don’t have enough fascist bigots on the electoral roll to back it.

Well that’s a turn up for the books.
Likely to be the first time men’s jewellery is worth more than women’s.
And all because its to do with sport.
