Left-ish, Green-ish, Chocaholic-ish.

Views are mine. Sharing doesn't mean endorsement.

Live on Ngarrabul land at Gindayagin (Glen Innes) in the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. Always was. Always will be.

Don't DM without asking.

Resistance is an art form!

Kevin Champeny's work celebrates the beauty of accumulation how countless small elements can create depth, movement, & meaning that no single piece could achieve alone.

A reminder that the smallest details often carry the greatest impact.

Amanda Vanstone calls out Angus Taylor for buckling to Pauline Hanson’s ‘monoculture’ rubbish, and
“not being able to think, & say, ‘No, she’s not onto something, she’s an idiot.”💥

When even your own side can’t handle you, it’s time to resign.

By the way, Elon Musk didn't start Tesla. By the time he invested in Tesla, the original founders had already started building the Roadster THEY had designed.

When he bought them out, he changed the history of the company to make himself a founder.

I'm not joking.

He's always been a fraud.

I keep thinking of the movie 2001, and the ai HAL. “ "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

By far the biggest problem with delegating judgement to machines is the people who own the machines can tune them towards outcomes they prefer but those who don't own anything can't.

It's not the technology. It's a transfer of decision making power from rational accountable systems to capital.

Very interesting!
I asked Oldest, Gen Z, if he knew who Bill Clinton’s VP was.

He did not.

He DID know who Al Gore was. The guy who had the election stolen by the Supreme Court. Also the climate change guy.

I found that interesting.

This is appalling!
These cops just flat-out assaulted an elderly man.

Plain as day that the cops are the only ones interested in violence.
Shared with us from Sydney happening now. He had his hands up.

What charges have been laid against the neo-nazi thugs who physically attacked Aborigonal and other people at Camp Sovereignty in Melbourne?
January 29, 2026 at 6:15 AM
How come someone throwing a bomb into a protest rally being held by Aboriginal people and their supporters is not called a terrorist attack?

How come the alleged perp has not been charged with Attempted Murder?

Why the softer language by politicians when describing this event in Perth?

Be afraid. Be VERY afraid!

Attorney-General Michelle Rowland on 7:30 yesterday.

We must continue to assert and exercise our right to criticise our, and other, governments, especially about genocide.

Being anti-Isreali government is not the same as being anti-Jewish!!!

And we are allies of this madman?!?!

No wonder he is so pro-Russia in relation to the invasion of Ukraine and pro-Israel on the destruction and genocide in Gaza.

Colonialist thinking, including a sense of entitlement, is far from dead!

May all those who consider themselves Christian give voice and action to two key messages of this time.

Be the innkeeper, who, even though his house was full, found room for a young family seeking refuge.

Treasure, value and protect our young people for they are the future.

This is hapoening in state forests across NSW.

Forestry Corp repeatedly under report the number of Greater Glider den trees (they receive protection).

Tell the NSW state gov to stop public native forest logging.

NOT logging is greater value than doing so.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.

It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

The fact this young man was allegedly stealing food meant he was hungry

A disabled 24yr Australian man - wealthiest country in the world, resources-wise - was hungry

Let that sink in

If we address that fact it might go a long way to solving deaths in custody
