Canaries.
My @smh cartoon.

Two scenes. 1: advisor to Albo at his desk: “Sir, I must inform you that our canaries-in-the-coal-mines of climate change, transparency, accountability and social equity are all looking sickly…” PM: “Hmm…”
Scene 2: Albo at a lectern with press around: “…and that’s why my government is proud to announce the development of a new SUPER BREED of canaries…”

Your job, for the moment, is to boost at least 2 lovely posts each day - you know, the people who post beautiful birds, animals, nature, etc. so everyone gets something nice in their TLs, since there's so much awful stuff out there. Thank you for your cooperation with this community effort.

🚨 I learnt a NEW word today... defenestrate

Defenestrate has 2 meanings:

1️⃣ Throw (someone) out of a window

2️⃣ Remove or dismiss (someone) from a position of power or authority

#DefenestrateTrump

🙏 Either 1 or 2 works for me!

I have not had a Diet Coke in two days just because I need to stop drinking it. NOW I find out Coca Cola is boycotting the Super Bowl because of Bad Bunny. Another reason I hate living in GA. Pathetic. Fuck Diet Coke. #resist

Chris Bowen taunts Dan Tehan following his visit to Nuclear sites in the US saying Tehan’s post-trip YouTube video shows “he did not visit any small modular reactors, advanced modular reactors or micro reactors, perhaps due to the small technical detail that none exist”🔥🤣 #QT
