How much embarrassment do we need to prepare for?

A photograph of someone dressed in an Elmo costume. They are sitting on a low wall on the side of a pathway. Elmo's hands are resting on their lap & Elmo's is looking at the ground. Text with the picture says, "When you remember something embarrassing you did & it's only been 15 years, so you know everyone else is still thinking about it too."

A photograph of a bat lying on its back & wrapped in a towel. The bat's mouth is stuffed full of banana. Some banana is spilling from its mouth & some has fallen out of its mouth. The text says, "I do intermittent fasting, so I stop eating every night at 7pm. Me at 6:59am."

And F*CK YOU Kerry Stokes. Instead of using your grotesque wealth to support the R*PIST, Bruce Lehrmann, you could have used it to support the r*pe victim.

A huge cartoon of a filthy rich older man in a suit & tie. He is sitting at a table with a plate full of cash & he is shovelling it into his mouth on a fork. Opposite him is a tiny cartoon of a man sitting at the table eating dinner. The text is a quote that says, "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorises it & a moral code that glorifies it." Quote by Frédéric Bastiat, French economist.

No, neither do I. Hopping in bed with the Libs to change the laws to make it harder for others to run was quite the fascistic move. Banking on the Libs continuing to implode? Crossing their fingers & hoping people will vote for them because they'll be the more "palatable" of the two major parties?

Power seems to corrupt them all. How many people go into politics for altruistic reasons & manage to keep close to their values? And, how many entre simply for power? I get there would have to be some compromise for a group of people to work together, but this is a complete sell-out.

A post from twitter by right-wing Venezuelan María Corina Machado. She is the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. In response to winning the prize, she wrote:

“This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.

We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.

I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!”

If they had the guts, we could be a shining beacon of progressiveness on the world stage. Aus. overwhelmingly didn't vote for this. Sky & Trump fans in Aus. are a minority. As horrific as the dangerous right-wing extremist Trump sycophants the Libs are, they got one thing right - Labor is weak.
