Don't know about you, but I'm sick of being referred to as "Western" when Australia has always been treated as AUKUS aircraft carrier & Token Southern SERF.

A friend in Seattle reports that the cop in the bullpen also routinely massages the staff? What’s up with that?

This is a flex.

He know his rubes will believe any shit he tells them and he wants to see how far he can take it.

Next week he'll tell them everyone in Portland lives in caves now and eats brontosaurus ribs like the Flintstones.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Only America would be so dangerously stupid to call any and all opposing forces against fascists and fascism, a group, while not being the slightest bit embarrassed by their complete lack of understanding about the matter.

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

I agree. We need to start appropriately identifying these as extrajudicial killings and murders by agents for the state.

💫M33 : the Triangulum Galaxy

One of the most distant objects visible to the naked eye under very dark skies (~2.7 million ly away).

🔭Captured last summer with my 130/900 Newtonian and a Sony A7S / 24 hours total integration.

@kat-astro-bot.bsky.social what do you see ?

A detailed astrophotograph of the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), a spiral galaxy seen nearly face-on against a field of countless stars. Its bright yellow-white core fades into loosely wound spiral arms with blue star-forming regions and a distinct pink nebula, NGC 604, near the upper right of the core. The background is deep black, dotted with sharp points of starlight.

I'm 100% sure both @davidshoebridge.bsky.social and @michaelwest.com.au.web.brid.gy are well aware of how much fossil fuels USE SPORT to advertise and pretend to be philanthropic at the same time for tax purposes! BRAVOS (ADANI) do the same in NRL like princess Gina does with NETBALL! #auspol

NYT says, Karp has stated that many of his decisions made @ Thiel's Palantir are driven “by his experiences as a Jew.”

Palantir’s sole exclusive client until 2008 was the CIA.

There's no way in hell Gough would have allowed Palantir into Australia. #Auspol
