Found out this afternoon that my best mate in my new town passed away Friday after an extended illness and short hospitalisation. John was a wonderful and beautiful man. We had been mates for only four years, but it feels much longer. A life-changing acquaintanceship. Raising a lovely glass of red

My closest friend, a beautiful man with a heart of gold, is about to die and this POS will live on. Life (and death) sucks.
It's not about winning wars you asshole. It's about remembering and honouring those who fought and died for democracy against fascism. Fascism you have brought to the United States. F*ck off! #cdnpoli

I'm a 'no" on net zero
Because we can do better
Net zero a crock - offsets open to lobbying and corrupt influences and interpretations of what's in or out, and soft targets by polies/ industries that don't want change, or invalidly argue we can't

PM @albomp.bsky.social's statement 2 years after the Oct7 attacks is vomitous. No mention of the historical context: the Nakba, Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine, Israel's illegal blockade of Gaza, or 2 years of genocide.

As far-right members of Netanyahu’s governing coalition demand Israel annexe some of the territory that would be part of a future Palestinian state, Albanese will tell a major conference in New York the current trajectory of the conflict is deeply worrying to the international community.
