#worldpolitics How surreal is reality at the moment. . Bizarre fantasy even. . Apparently: Putin is a humanitarian. Israel is not a rogue terrorist state prosecuting genocide. Trump is the greatest leader of all time. . Pigs might fly. Gaslighting is the norm. . Yeah.. Nah.. The Murdoch press.

#auspol #beer Another icon bites the dust. . Lion brewing have closed down production of Boags in Launceston, Tasmania. The plan is "brew" it on the mainland, with different water. . It will just be another in Lion's range of chemical swills. Just like all the other brands they have assimilated.

All power to independent local brewing ! . That is where my thirst and money goes.

#auspol The last thing I want is a government by One Nation(ON). . But here is a thought, If the ALP were less shit, ON wouldn't be a problem. . If the ALP took the housing crisis, the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis seriously ON wouldn't be a problem.

#scam I know its amazing, I have been professionally using the internet since 1979, and I just received my first scam job ad. . Honestly, I am surprised it has taken this long. . Obvious red flag = insanely good remuneration and conditions. . If it is too good to be true, it usually is.

#AFL So the AFL season has ended. . Congratulations to the winners. Commiseration to the losers. . And a shout out to everyone else who doesn't care !

#AI #worldpolitics The problem with AI is that the current crop are being built and trained by sociopaths with no moral compass and their highest goal is the the pursuit of profit. . The tech is not the problem. . The billionaires are the problem.

#auspol Social media asked me: Are you willing to give One Nation a go ? . I can emphatically and definitely say: . NO WAY ! . I do not trust those delusional fruitloops with a chook raffle, much less government. . The ALP are doing a shit job. The COALition is worse. . But Pauline. . Nah...

#ai #worldpol Frank Herbert in his fiction wrote about the Butlerian Jihad, where all thinking machines and sentient robots were destroyed. . Skynet(Terminator) is another alternative future. . There are other possibilities, perhaps a collaborative one, a synergy of man and machine.

#usapol Why would anyone want to live in the usa ? . My social feeds are full of stories that make it sound like a hell on earth. . ICE abductions. HOA infractions and conflicts. Gun violence. Overreach by police. Medical bankruptcy. . I have not seen one thing that makes me want to visit.

#usapol #trump Just when I thought we had achieved peak insanity. . Little Donnie turned the dial from 11 up to 13... . Alantic Ocean to be called American Ocean. . Can't some one give him an etch-a-sketch and sit him in the corner. . How long are we to suffer this madman ? . Interesting times.

#auspol I am astounded / dismayed that so many Australians would contemplate voting for one nation. . I understand the disillusionment with the major parties. The distrust of the Greens. The general fear of voting for an unknown independent. . But. One Nation. Pauline... . Nah. . What do you do ?

How many meals / foods / tastes do we love because of Stockholm syndrome ? . "You will grow to love it", "it takes a bit of getting used to", "its an aquired taste". . And if you don't = you have "an uneducated palate" ! . I love vegemite, sarsaparilla - a legacy of a childhood in Queensland.

#auspol #gambling Really... what is so hard to understand ? . It seems to me that the people of Australia overwhelming want an end to ALL gambling advertising. . Total. No ads. . Just do it...

#auspol I am increasingly frustrated with the crocodile tears and faux outrage of the zionists as they desperately try to conflate anti-zionism with anti-semitisim. . Zionism, Christian Nationalism, anti-semitism are anathema as is any form of bigotry or racism. . End the genocide. Free Palestine.

If you are being stalked, harassed or threatened you should file a police report and get a restraining order. Sure it probably won't stop the creep, but it will give the police somewhere to start when they are investigating your murder. Downside, you are more likely to get caught for their murder.

Its only the truly stupid and the truly corrupt that think that people should pay for education. . Education benefits everybody, so why should anyone incur a debt in the pursuit of enlightenment. . It is I everyone's best interests that everyone else is educated to the maximum of of their capacity.

#auspol I am sick and tired of Pauline, One Nation, Karl Stefanovic, Murdoch, Gina and the kookers that are destroying the place. . Sick and Tired. I will tell you. . Over and over again. . Why are we forced to listen to these fools. . Oh, democracy, you say. . Ok. . But I don't have to like it.

#auspol The thing about One Nation supporters is that most have drunk so much kool-aid, that no amount of haranguing, harassment or lecturing will change their opinion. . So don't. . Ignore them, block them, cut them out of your life. . But be willing to accept them back after they wake up to reason

#usapol Truly amazing that in the land of the free, the home of the brave, the bastion of democracy, that the administration could censor Stephen Colbert. . Truly disappointing. . Next will be Jimmy Kimmel... . Nothing is surprising any more. . USA über alles...

#usapol I am waiting for the next insanity from the USA. . Obvious possibilities are declaring that pi = 3.00000 because irrational numbers are difficult. . Or insisting that the metric system cannot be use on any imported goods. . Or perhaps it will just be announced a 3rd term for Trump.

#auspol #housing I get annoyed when politicians say "there is no silver bullet for the housing crisis" . Because there is. . We have to stop treating housing as a wealth generating asset. . People need safe, comfortable, affordable accommodation NOT an investment opportunity.

#auspol #antisemitism #antizionism I am frustrated with people who conflate antizionism with antisemitism. . Jews, in my personal experience, are wonderful people, and antisemitism is totally fucking evil. . HOWEVER Israel, by its actions, is a fascist, racist, genocide state. . Zionism is evil

#auspol Aubrey / Farrer = WTF = One Nation. . Really. . Look, I know the Liberal Party is a totally useless munted dumpster fire . AND The Nationals well... are The Nationals. . And everyone is pissed off with the ALP. . However the independent Michelle Milthorpe looked ok. . One Nation. . Arggh.

#auspol #isisbride So the women and children are returning home to Oz causing much hand wringing, consternation and controversy. . Not a word is said about their families that sold these poor girls into sex slavery abroad. . A lot of these "women" were children themselves when they were trafficked.

#auspol Exactly... . What was the point of exchanging Sussan Ley for Angus Taylor. . Just rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. . I suppose it did make an unambiguous statement about the Liberal Party obvious misogyny. . .. . Would you care for a sherry while we wait for the boat to sink ?

#AUSPOL IMHO - Anyone who uses the term un-Australian is Unaustralian... . I thought we as nation would give any c*nt a go !

#auspol I absolutely love how the fossil fool skills make these absolute pronouncements that electric trucks and busses are impossible. . It is truly hilarious how out of touch they are. . Electrification of everything is happening as we speak. . Its like the fools that said flight was impossible..

#worldpolitics I have been and always will be an opponent of torture and capital punishment. . However, I am ok with dropping genocidal traitors masquerading as popularist demagogues into oubliettes where they can live out the rest of their lives in misery and total isolation, forgotten.

When are people going to realise that everything on the world stage is planned catastrophe designed to maximise economic return for those in the know. . Our lives are throwen into upheaval, chaos and ruin so the Epstein class can make an extra dollar. . How many have to die before piggy has enough?

If I am (being paid) teaching something to someone in a class about that something = its not mansplaining. . If it is not in a class, I usualy don't explain stuff because it is probably is mansplaining, and if it isn't, they are unlikely to understand anyway. . Did I mansplain that clear enough ?

#usapol I am sorry, I have absolutely no faith that : - there will be mid term elections - Americans will turn up to vote - they will vote sanely - that Trump will take any notice . I am going on past evidence. . I hope I am wrong. Please, prove me wrong. For humanities sake, prove me wrong.

#auspol #Israel Seriously. WTF. . Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and other Israeli politicians are wearing a noose badges to celebrate the passing of a law that allows Palestinians to be hung... . They are celebrating capital punishment. . Why is Australia friendly to Israel?

#auspol Fuel crisis. . So how did we get here. . 25 years of the governments asleep at the wheel. . We need sovereign energy independence. . Doh. . We need more electricity, more solar, more wind, wave and tidal energy capture. . EV buses, trucks. . We must end our dependence on fossil fuels.

#auspol Don't expect the Albanese Government to do anything serious about taxing Petroleum exports. . The Australian Federal Government is owned by Petroleum industry. . Any pretence that it is working for us, the the people, is just pure delusion.

Trying to place a bet with the TAB on the end of the world as we know it. . The silly app is giving me grief demanding what racecourse what race. . Human race. On earth. . A trifecta on WW3 starting after the USA invades Canada, and California and Texas seceding within the next year.

#usapol Venezuela. Iran. Lebanon. Cuba. . Whats next ? Greenland ? Canada ? Mexico ? Antarctica ? . When is Darth Pedo building his Deathstar ?

#auspol There is no valid reason that domestic Australian gas prices should go up. . We export the stuff. . We are the world's largest exporters. . Its just price gouging and profiteering by multinationals who pay no royalties on OUR resources that they are stealing.

#usapol So is Alex Garland a time traveller from the future or just an Oracle cursed with foreknowledge. . His movie "Civil War(2024)" seems to predict the current catastrophic events. . Will selected states attempt succession, seeking independence from the deranged despot ? . Only time will tell.

#usapol ##worldpolitics #iranwar . If Benjamin Netanyahu is dead, who is running the USA ? . Asking for a friend...

#auspol #insiders Why, oh why, does anyone listen to Barnaby Joyce... . One minute its "we should introduce rationing", next minute "we cant stop people panic buying". . Its a never ending incoherent word salad. . No answers, no logic, just scaremongering...

#usapol So what happens if the USA loses this war - i.e. fail to change the regime. . Other "experts" say that the USA will have to put boots on the ground, and that it will be very, very bloody. . We all know that whatever the outcome, Trump will attempt to spin it as the biggest ever win. .

#auspol Matt Canavan is the new leader of the Australian Nationals federal political party. . Angus Taylor is the leader of the Australian Liberals. . Well that confirms Albo as PM for at least a decade. . A government is only good as its opposition, and this opposition is as weak as piss.

##worldpolitics #auspol #NuclearPower Something I don't understand, if people are so concerned about nuclear proliferation, uranium enrichment and plutonium; why arn't we throwing a LOT more money at thorium cycle nuclear power research. . Of course, renewables are a far better, cheaper option.

The world is going to hell in a hand basket... . Perhaps we should be selling hand baskets...

##usapol #Armageddon Christian Zionist believe they can advance the comming of Christ by encouraging Armageddon. . This is a prophesied war on the plains of Armageddon in northern Israel. . They do this by engaging in the most immoral, illegal, unchristian behaviour. . Death Cult Insanity.

#auspol #Eurovision #DeltaGoodrem Arggggg.... The annual facepalm moment... . Who makes these decisions ? Who decides the Australian entry in Eurovision ? Who decided that we should participate ? . Why arn't we joining the boycott ? . Why Delta Goodrem ? . There are so many better candidates...

My guess is that the many thousands more suitable candidates are part of the Israeli boycott. . Its only someone who desperately need the sugar hit that would consider performing in an Israeli sponsored event where an Israeli entrants was performing. . Australia should have joined the boycott.

#auspol The Australian Liberal Party commissioned a review of the 2025 election slaughter. . The party executive has decided to bury the review report. . This secrecy is symptomatic of the problem the party has with reality and why it has lost support. . They are delusional.
