Me in 1999: Trade routes?! What does that have to do with war? Me in 2005: A fake assassination attempt to seize power? No way they don't know Palpatine is evil. Me in 2019: "Somehow" the big bad evil guy returned? That's the dumbest shit I've ever seen. Me in 2026: God. Damn. it.

Hopefully Albo will announce the govt will cease support for the illegal Trump/Netanyahu war. Recognise that US “democracy” has been hijacked with no constraints on Trump. Scrap the crazy AUKUS “deal”. Announce a plan B for defence and pursue peace not war. We can but hope!

I think AI is like touch screens in cars instead of buttons and knobs. It’s not better than what was already there and it’s only going to cause accidents. Whatever jobs that are replaced by AI will be brought back in 12-18 seconds due to the failures and inefficiencies of AI.

Just a heads up you don't have to be in a warning zone to self evacuate today from the Great Ocean Road or The Great Ottway National Park. A lot of tree and sea changers should look at their options today. Today there are plenty of open roads. Tomorrow might be very different. #VicFires

He doesn’t know the difference between Norway and Denmark. He doesn’t know the difference between Iceland and Greenland. He still doesn’t understand who pays the tariffs. He thinks Venezuela is an island. He thinks asylum seekers came from insane asylums. I would go on but I’m out of space….

For anyone not familiar with the area, here's what it was like looking down on the Cumberland river caravan park from the Castle Rock lookout on a clear day a few years ago. The Otways rise steeply straight up from sea level

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Dear Albo, This is leadership. One can support Israel’s right to exist, prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb AND condemn Netanyahu & Trump for their reckless actions which have made a mockery of international law! #auspol
