Of course Labor could return to being Democratic Socialists... but sure, blame everyone else.

My life used to be excitedly waiting for "the first...", now every day is spent dreading "the last..."

Fucksake. Opened farcebook and I see John Farnham's face and for a second all I could feel was the drop in my gut, but thankfully no, he's ok, just a sensational media ad. And before you say anything about FB, the few friends I have left are old and overseas and this is how we keep in touch so FO.

I have had some incredible vivid forever in my memory dreams over the decades and the long powerful, emotional, otherworld waking dream I had this morning was one. Funny how many are never on this world. Some make it into novels. This dream was to the soundtrack of this: youtu.be/ykMzS6ugnPI?...

Jeezus. Tim Curry too? 😭💔😭 Why cant it be the evil fuckers who should be dead?
Thank you, beautiful human 💕💔💕💔💕💔💕😭 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...

4 Corners exposes the “revolving door” of former politicians, public servants and military personnel making huge salaries in the arms manufacturing and lobbying industries. Chair of the Joint Defence Committee gets an all expenses paid trip to the US. Nothing to worry about?
