ABC is reporting an active shooter at Bondi Beach 😳😳 #auspol

There are some "media personalities" I find excruciatingly obnoxious and offensive (in what they say and do). I wish social media algorithms realised if you rptedly block them or click "Not Interested" on posts by others that incl. them, it means you don't want to see, read, or watch their posts. 😠

Labor are Jekyll and Hyde on climate - and need a competitor at the voting box. This should be our focus now as their actions will literally cook our kids and our planet - and they don’t seem to care #auspol

Genuine qn: How has Donald Trump not been committed to the medical care of a psychiatric facility yet? The USA clearly has a demented narcissistic moron in the Oval Office (like a mad Roman emperor). And the US Govt has no procedures to address this? Srsly?! #USPolitics

I can’t believe what Labor has done #auspol

The world, even at its best, is a remarkably noisy place. The more I reacquaint myself with the Mycroft #Holmes mysteries, the more I feel I should have been at home in the rarified silence of the Diogenes Club.

The UK has been flying spy planes over Gaza for the duration of the genocide, providing intelligence to Israel to help coordinate its airstrikes. This data could've been provided to the ICJ & ICC. Instead, the UK is an active participant in the #GazaGenocide. #UKPolitics youtu.be/0fk3t28TiAc?...

Every time I post a reply on Tik Tok, supporting an Australian Indigenous creator, there's always an angry reply. This young Australian man posts lots of flag-waving videos supporting Far Right nationalism. Anti-Indigenous, anti-immigrant, anti-Palestine. I worry about Gen Z. 😔 #NoRoomForRacism

This little darling has discovered how to turn on the washing machine … at one in the morning … complete with accompanying musical jingle. Suffice to say, she is not in my good books right now. #CatsOfBluesky #RagDollsOfBluesky

Which teens aren’t angry?

My daughter went to a friends party yesterday. Partly on a boat and partly at the beach. We did the whole “do you have sunblock?” routine. Came home fried. Sad face.

Good morning from Seven Hills, NSW, Australia, where at 7.45 am on Sunday, December 14 it is a lovely 21°C. Catch up day on chores I put off from yesterday, plus a little more Christmas shopping. Have a great day, take care and keep smiling. Talk later. 😀

The Metropolitan Police will "take no further action" over claims Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor asked his police protection officer for info on Virginia Giuffre. The Met said a further assessment "has not revealed any additional evidence of criminal acts or misconduct". Srsly. #RoyalFamily #justice

They can't use Calibri font bc it's woke. Maybe Trump will release TRUMP, a big beautiful new font. And all US Govt agencies will be required to use the new Trump font in all their documents. And Trump will get paid for its use. By the letter. (The US Govt is a clown show.) #USPolitics

Israeli media reported the United States has barred senior European diplomats accredited to the Palestinian Authority from entering a US-run coordination centre linked to President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza, following a direct request from Israel. 🇮🇱☠😈🍊💩 www.middleeastmonitor.com/20251212-us-...

Can anyone in my network help? 👇🏻

So, who gets to enjoy the company of former Liberal Party staffer and adjudged rapist Bruce Lehrmann for Christmas lunch? And who gets the job of warning the Young Liberals women NOT to be alone with him? I'm guessing it will be a wealthy Liberal Party donor. #auspol #Christmas
