Solidarity with Venezuela as they resist American aggression
'US president Donald Trump claims that the Venezuelan president, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife have been “captured and flown out of the country”. WTAF? How can this be legal? It's not, is it?

Happy NY 2026. I woke up this morning and wrote a Substack open.substack.com/pub/danineth...
All our yesterdays (all our tomorrows are coming)
I read a comment from someone yesterday, talking about these in-between days as days between years, which, I think you will agree, is a beautiful way of thinking.

Making Nigella's (choc chip) Panettone for breakfast for my family. This feels like the perfect start to these in-between days. Heading to Lake Mulwala to swim in the pool my mum 'lived in' as a child today.

I can't believe anyone ever relies on AI being a reliable source of information. The amount of times I've searched for something and forgotten to turn off AI results, and the utterly and obviously preposterous results that I've seen come up is ridiculous.

Sussan Ley is clearly so far out of her depth that she deserves to be sacked by her party, purely for her own good.
This is perhaps the most contemptible thing any political leader has ever said in this country.
The sooner she f*cks off to obscurity the better for Australia.
