#Wally woke us up just before 5:30am like any impatient child on Christmas Day. It wasn’t presents that she wanted, though - just to come inside & snuggle on the bed with her favourite human.
Since I’m up & my pillow is now taken, here’s a photo I took last night to get your #Christmas2025 started.

The day before Christmas here in Australia...I just want to give a shout out to Jews, Muslims, my fellow idiot gentiles and anyone else who reads this...there are no words for the indiscriminate murder of people ever, there never are, wars, genocides, appalling things - but I just want to send love.

Merry Xmas to those who celebrate it and be good and safe. Australia is FOR humanity everyday. 🙏🙏❤️💙🎄🎄

A little selection of my favourite words for the season. Some beautiful, others potentially necessary. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

TRUTH 😎
Pottery archeology experts are the most impressive specialists. They are handed a 5cm piece and identify it's date and full shape almost within seconds.

If you’re booing someone at funeral, you should probably take a look at yourself

How in the everloving fuck do we live in a place where most of our politicians and all our mainstream media orgs point-blank refuse to understand the vast majority of Australians are not in any way anti-Jew but are most definitely anti-Genocide?

On Australia's 'National Day of Reflection' I reflect on
🕯️Those killed in the Bondi attack
🕯️Hundreds of women & men killed by violence here annually
🕯️First Australians who've experience genocide over last few 100 years & continue to experience increased rates of violence & deaths.
🕯️Those from... 1/2

This 'Aussie Christmas tree' photo is doing the rounds again - usually without attribution.
It was taken by Layn Simpson of Gympie - in his backyard.
An excellent snap.
I have an invitation to visit next time I'm in Gympie so I'll look forward to that.
You can find Layn on Instagram. Worth a follow.

This country is not those two. They were radicalised extremists. That’s the point. Extremism is by its nature rare. It does not grow from a failure of moral consensus. It seeks to shock the consensus that exists. Those suggesting otherwise for their own advantage betray the memory of this tragedy.

We predict: POTUS address tomorrow will include announcements of “Tariff checks” for every Yankee. Since the Supreme Court may soon rule those funds illegally sourced, the most unethical, ie, most likely outcome is for WH to preemptively launder it away (and bury Epstein news amidst other things).
