NICKEL CREEK WERE AT THE FOREFRONT OF PROGRESSIVE FOLK

Tim Badrick @timbadrick.bsky.social · 1h

I really don't dig Americana folk music but this song from #NickelCreek from many a moon ago grabbed me.

Enough so that I wrote this blog about it in late 2012.

Completely maudlin and almost tragic sounding but hauntingly kind of beautiful.

Australia politics live: Ted O’Brien ejected from question time after Jim Chalmers says carbon tax claim ‘not based on reality’

Tim Badrick @timbadrick.bsky.social · 3h

Absolutely amazing spiritual energy Diane in the background trees surrounding the lake. 😯😯👀👀❤️❤️

Tim Badrick @timbadrick.bsky.social · 3h

#JimChalmers might well be telling the truth by saying that the #Albanese government has no agenda to introduce an "economy wide carbon tax".

But that's nothing to boast about seeing that him, Albo & Bowen are plotting something very similar but a whole lot more destructive to Australia - #NetZero.

Common sense in the court has prevailed over the trouble making agenda of the pro - #Palestine protest organisers in #Sydney, who were hellbent on using the Opera House as their stage and prop for propagandist and hostile purposes.

FO. Keep your mob away from iconic, public landmarks I say to them.

Court delivers bombshell ruling on pro-Palestine protest at the Sydney Opera House

The New South Wales Court of Appeal has moved to prohibit the proposed pro-Palestine protest on the Sydney Opera House forecourt.

University caught out using AI to wrongly accuse students of cheating with AI

Tim Badrick @timbadrick.bsky.social · 6h

Completely ban #AI in ALL Australian schools & universities - for teachers / lecturers and students.

ACROSS THE BOARD.

NO EXCEPTIONS.

That way @albomp.bsky.social there can be "no cheating" from students and no "false accusations" that they are.

It's time to arrest this "anti- humanity" monster.

An Australian university has accused thousands of its students of cheating with artificial intelligence. The problem? Many have done nothing wrong.

It's all very positive news of what "potentially" will lead to some kind of truce, however contrived it is, which allows Palestinians to live side by side with #Israel.

But ultimately, the "deal breaker" will be if #Hamas refuses to relinquish control of #Gaza & demilitarize.

Trump confirms Gaza peace deal, all hostages to be released

Tim Badrick @timbadrick.bsky.social · 7h

When #Hamas lays down all its weapons & vacates the #Gaza strip then we will all have good reason to believe that it is the "real deal".

Until that happens, then #Trump 's "deal" is only a "temporary pause" in a "forever ideological war" between the Muslim world & #Israel.

We'll know by next week.

Donald Trump has announced Israel and Hamas have signed off on his Gaza peace plan, with all remaining hostages set to be released.

What ONE NATION sorely lacks is a "succession plan".

#PaulineHanson is now in her 70s. It's perceived by many, even with ONE NATION supporters, that when she goes the party will fold.

Besides that, she needs to remove her name from the party name.

That's losing ONE NATION a mountain of support.

Tim Badrick @timbadrick.bsky.social · 8h

ONE NATION could very well be in a position to hold the balance of power in the senate after the 2028 election if #PaulineHanson keeps her nose clean, doesn't go anywhere near folks like #MarkLatham, and allows her party to become much more "internally democratic" to attract the right candidates.

I think this is really cool what I wrote in this blog in 2012 about my favourite cop show of all time, #MiamiVice, which I was very "naughtily" watching as a young teenager in the late 80s. 😄😄.

The accompanying instrumental score by legendary keyboardist #JanHammer nails it.

Israel intercepts another Gaza aid flotilla amid criticism over treatment of activists

Tim Badrick @timbadrick.bsky.social · 20h

The renegade, megalomaniac #IDF continues to thumb its nose up to "international law" by intercepting flotillas with pro - #Gaza / #Palestine activists on board, in INTERNATIONAL WATERS.

Power tripper #Netanyahu and his #Israel' s horrible defence minister #IsraelKatz need a good smack in the head.

Israeli foreign ministry confirms interception and says those on board will be deported

‘You are misinformed’: The real reasons behind Hamas’ actions in the Middle East analysed

Tim Badrick @timbadrick.bsky.social · 20h

There can never be an #Israel- #Palestine "two state solution" while this "Islamist Occult", best way to describe #Hamas, remains in existence.

Because these sadists not only want to kill Zionists but every Jew in Israel, including orthodox Jews& Semites.

Until Hamas is eliminated it won't happen.

Sky News host Chris Kenny discusses the reasons behind why Hamas is waging war against Israel and Jews in the Middle East. “If you think the war in the Middle East and the protest supporting it around the world are all about establishing a Palestinian state and the so-called two-state solution, you are misinformed,” Mr Kenny said. “The Hamas charter says it exists only to eliminate Israel and the Jews from the Middle East, and all the terror group’s actions show it.”
