Haven’t posted a photo for a while either. Hiroshima was the first of only two world cities ever to suffer a nuclear weapon strike. Peace park should be a compulsory visit for every world politician to remind them what unchecked aggression can lead to. #hiroshima #photography

Haven’t been here much lately. Been fighting with fascists on Twitter.
It feels like we all need a foot in each camp.
I really don’t feel good about the world right now. 🥺

All while Trump concerns himself with important things like flags at half mast.

Indeed. A lot of the clergy will also be watching their backs.

Not currently as as Australian. But stay tuned. I fear our time to be embarrassed is not far off.

Am I reading this right?
“Only” 9 school shooters in 2024 were female. Out of a grand total of 258 school shootings. TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY EIGHT. Republicans will protect a child in the womb, but not in a school. America is broken. #schoolshootings #USA #guncontrol

I love this idea.

It's time to name mass shootings after the politicians who block any sensible measures to prevent mass shootings.

I bought my first record in about 1983. It was INXS Listen like thieves. Unfortunately with CDs I ditched a lot of vinyl. This was certainly one of my early additions!

Today’s picture. Staying in a French style chalet in Pokolbin in the NSW Hunter Valley, I was struck by the shadows in the room and the way they fell around this wall clock.

3/3 The same workers there now demanding double digit pay rises with no productivity increase, and demanding 24 hour trains that benefit them through penalty rates, and will be patronised by less than 1% of the population.
They should all be sacked and replaced. #sydney #unions #RTBU #sackthemall

2/3 These are the same workers that were never stood down during covid while Sydney trains continued to run to nearly full service.
The same workers that through industrial action forced the NSW government to place staff on driverless trains.

I’ve been critical of the RTBU ever since they held Sydney to ransom after covid lockdowns to secure an absurd pay deal. 3 years later they are at it again. The Herald has not posted my prior comments and now aren’t allowing comments at all.
A thread. 1/3

Today’s photo. The Aquarium at Osaka is probably one of if not the best in the world. The main tank is 4 stories high and has two adult whale sharks amongst its inhabitants.

I do find it hilarious that a picture of someone’s cat pops up in my feed with 250+ likes and my photos can’t crack 150. 😀😆🤣😂
