These try-hard populists are beyond logic, like primal things such as violence and sex. Although it’s faux-primal. They are rage-jaculating. Public rage-jaculators. They need to find a park they can hang out together in.

A five year experiment: Ban alcohol and make everything else legal then compare the outcomes for disease, death, injury & hospitalisation, domestic violence, crime. #decriminalisation #health
Legalising ‘marijuana’ did not lead to a notable increase in related hospitalisations among children & teenagers in Manitoba. Researchers compared hospitalisation rates across three periods: Jan 2013-Oct 2018; Oct 2018-Dec 2019; & Jan 2020-Dec 2023. themarijuanaherald.com/2026/08/mari...
#RupertMurdoch appointed FoxNews to be the US government. That’s an Australian with a sick sense of humour. #auspol
The 5-day workweek gives a person only one night a week when they haven’t worked that day or have a workday waiting for them in the morning. And all this work is wrecking the planet. Time to kickback.
Happy Monday lovers and fighters…….. How do we stop this cycle….answers on a postcard please…..
Worst word in the English language (no contest): ‘front-bottom’. Immediately added to Nighy’s banned words list. #BillNighy
Such great music, straight to us on Bluesky! Lucky us. #songwriting #folkmusic #jazz #folk #ukmusic
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, I think

Isn’t it weirdly dissonant that the audience for #alanjones was racist homophobes who tolerated, um, the allegations he is defending himself against in court today. Racism trumps homophobia I guess. #auspol
Pauline Pantsdown’s American cousin: #auspol Let’s go back to ‘97 when they made skits like this.

Adults highly literate in what to take when will be put over Nanny’s knee and spanked if they take something from the pantry that Nanny forbids. Truth is Conservatives love being spanked by Nanny. They also get a thrill from spanking others. #auspol
James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."
Having workmen visit while you’re reading Marcus Aurelius under the duvet is a real drag.
Walking around a food festival in the park when @valleyguitarist.bsky.social starts giggling at this WELL SHIT ALIEN PIZZA
Visiting the 🧪 science feed I’m reminded of the many intelligent Americans who, like gorgeous spores in the 🍄📸 feed, are being out-competed by two species: one simple but virulent; the other pernicious & toxic. Let’s hope the benign boletes get everyone to vote in the mid-terms & save the forest.
Imagine a secret power that lets you see 10-12 hrs into the future. What could you do? Well, ANZ offers that service. Latest ticker tape news: "To burn the walls of Troy or Tehran or Kiev is to burn the world entire." Nolan’s The Odyssey. #samanthamorton
New stage name: I’m thinking ‘Tommy Bellend’. It has a brighter ring than the britpop ‘Johnny Fecalton’. #music
Lots of great songs on this classic, but I have a favourite, and it’s the bass lines that clinch the win. #jay-z #theblueprint m.youtube.com/watch?v=clqy...

The New York Times reports the U.S. dropped a 2,000-pound bomb on a family home in Iran, killing a husband, wife, and their 2-year-old son. The paper found no indication of a nearby military target.
