We all want the oblivion of your fellow Americans. It would be a welcome break.

It’s fucking bizzaro world we’re living in where the President shares untruths on truth social, the justice department serves injustice, the department of education promotes ignorance, and the health department increases disease by undermining prevention.

The funny thing is that this comparison will annoy people on both sides. Trump supporters and other conservatives will hate him being compared to a radical β€˜lefty’ who lectured Trump, and those who admired the humility and compassion of the Pope are still picking themselves up off the ground.

Apparently she has opinions that inheriting a lot of money from a morally bankrupt father allows her to share regularly. 🀯

I’d suggest a similar campaign for Tourism Australia.

Except that we do throw ten year olds into prison. #auspol

The issue is not whether both sides have grievances, but whether the grievances are valid. Grievances are a little like opinions. We’ve all got the and many are bullshit.

I’m finding it hard to believe anything good will happen again. I really really hope you are correct.

Working dogs are famous but what about working cats? For thousands of years farmers have kept cats for their talents at catching rats and mice, and now there are calls for people working the land to be able to claim tax deductions their health and upkee...

The Nationals will have to extract themselves from Gina’s arse to look at this.

It makes sense.

And the cats will be happier.

A reporter asks Trudeau about Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly’s characterization of the current U.S. situation which she called a "psychodrama."

"How would you characterize it?"

Warm, wise, willing: A public service for the public good? OPINION | A revitalised public service must prioritise wisdom, warmth, and willingness to restore trust and effectiveness.

This one goes out with love to all those public servants doing amazing work of caring in a bonkers world.

And a reminder to the rest of us that now, more than ever, we need our public services to be resourced and enabled to be better than ever.

Unfortunately, I’m going to have to have a knee replacement this year and both parents have/had dementia. Oh well…

It is crazy how these very different things are now seen as the same.

One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: β€œAll malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.
